what should I do, at friday class see if she still wants to get together?


I remember when I met my wife for the first time. She also had a boyfriend at that time.

Also, do not be fixated on this one girl. I hate to tell you this, but chances are you will not even get a second date. Instead, be fixated on the idea of dating and the process of meeting people to date. That will be a far more valuable lesson to learn.

I'm not fixated, the reason I'm kinda bummed is that, after years of trying, and several rejections, I get a date, I'm estatic. Then I find out she might not even have considered it that, or in all likelyhood show up. A no would be fine, I'm OK with that, but having a great feeling like that, then to have it go away like that kinda sucks.

Even if the date goes nowhere, use it as a learning experience. Treat it like it’s going to work out. It might surprise you.

When I first met The Wife, she was dating someone else. She moved across the country to be with him, they broke up, and she moved back home. You never know where life will end up, so don’t burn any bridges you don’t have too.

On the hair topic, I had long hair when I first met The Wife, and she liked it that way. I think I started to grow it out in my senior year of high school, and kept it most of the way through college. Maintenance was a major PITA though. I needed to cut some of the stress out of my life, so it got the chop. On the flip side, The Wife had short hair, but started to grow it long a bit after we got married. Now it’s everywhere, she has crazy thick hair. Even at my longest, I could get a ponytail the width of a pencil; I have very fine hair. What’s left of it these days...

For me, shaving my head was just something I needed to do. I had special shampoo for my hair which was 10$ or more a bottle, and if I went a day without washing it, it itched horribly.
And I was going bald........Like stupidly bald, and going to university made it worse.
So byby hair. Now all maintenence is replace with shaving twice a week.

Speaking of hair, I've gotten away from liking girls with long hair, and prefer girls with shorter now.

Also she did come over, but she ran out because one of our friends (A girl) had a problem with her, so yeah. I found out about that today.

So i think I found one. Kind of acts really nervous around me, and tends to stare. So I think I am basically on the other side of the situation for once. Kind of feels wierd. How do I approach this, I know very little about her. I am not very interested, but I think the practice would be good. I am running an iron kingdoms game later this week, think that would be a good idea? Help?

If you arent very interested I'd have to question the logic of hitting on someone, I mean sure the practice might be nice but you -can- flirt and build confidence without hitting on someone that you arent all that fussed about. The flipside being you ask her out, despite not being bothered, and then find out that X number of other prospects passed you by because you were seeing someone.

Gotta ask, was it clearly a date or was is two friends going for coffee/stuff? Just because a guy/girl are doing stuff together like seeing a movie etc it isnt neccessarily a date, it could quite easily of been a friends thing.

I'd still go, worst comes to worst you end up having a fun few hours chatting to a cute girl you get along well with, there are far worse ways of spending an afternoon.

Invite her to get a cup of coffee and ask her about herself?

Quick question. How would I know, if a girl is interested in me or not.

I am not sure she 'fled' out of the room because of me, or because of the other person. Its very interesting to me that this is happening to me now of all times. :/ before I turn twenty one.

I'm not sure if this would be exactly on topic here. What do I do if a girl that i specifically don't want to be in a relationship with says she likes me. I'm in High School, BTW. By extension, what should I do if a girl asks me to dance at prom?
Spoiler:
I probably can't slow dance to save my bloody life.
I'm not the kind of guy who would ask, and i'm also not afraid of asking, i just have too much homework.Kind of the opposite of getting a date.
Thanks!

Im fairly sure my parents would be upset. Anyway, the only girl that I had the remotest chance with is waay too short to dance with. And it might ruin my status as a badass

At high school dances I preferred slow dances. They were easy. Hold the girl, sway. Fast songs required flopping around like a pithed toad. Not a fan. Not that I went to a lot of school dances. I did learn how to ballroom dance, although that was in middle school. Good, if horribly out of date, life skill to have. Shame I’ve forgotten most of it.

Go to your senior prom.
Give the girl a chance, if it doesn’t work out, break it off as painlessly as you can.
Size matters not.

Happy Valentines Day everyone. Good luck and stay safe out there!

Sorry to hear that man. Well maybe she wants to break up with her boyfriend. Not sure if that's a good sign though that she's looking for other guys without having broken up with her current one.

The girl i used to love would throw herself out in a sexual way often. Considering she had a boyfriend and probably did it for attention i find that rather disgusting. I mean if she's not in a relationship that's fine but i'd be pissed if i was her boyfriend and she always did that behind my back. I dunno maybe she wasn't that great of a person and i was totally enthralled by her looks and the fact she liked everything i did. It also helped she laughed at some of the stuff i said. I can be a pretty funny guy after all as you've seen with the super saiyan pubic hair bit.

Valentines Day gets overrated anyways in my opinion. What's different about that day, that you couldn't have done any other day? Birthdays and anniversaries are the big ones that need more effort.

Valentines I guess you're expected to do something more, but really just need to be thoughtful if anything.

ugh stupid brain stop being annoying.
so...my mind has decided that I DO have a goal in life. because it wasn't happy when I decided to spend my life helping others by putting my own life on the line and thus repent for some of my many sins. no that wasn't good enough for stupid brain.
no, now I've finally grown "feelings" and a "heart".
My goal in life is to fall in love, and to stay in love. the problem being A, I'm effectively one of the scummiest people on the planet so finding a romantic partner will be difficult and B, I don't even know if the kind of relationship I want exists in the real world.
call it wistful thinking, but one day I want what we see in movies. I don't want sex, I have no interest in it. What I want is a companion who I can dedicate my life too. stupid brain.
