Hey Beefy, if Lovren ever says it, keep it to yourself, eh..? The outburst of hilarity might just bump me off.
Hey guys, quick question and then I'll stop bugging you, but if I don't get the opportunity to talk to this girl in the seminar tomorrow (which, let's be fair, is hardly beyond the realms of possibility), what should I do then?
Doing a little bit of looking into Fable's music took me along to Laurie Anderson, which took me along to my Windows Media Player collection of music that I'm still trying to build from my collection of vinyl albums. I've got about a third of them recorded now. Problem is I scrolled all the way down to XTC to listen to a track off Black Sea for comparison purposes. That did it. I'm into my 4th XTC album of listening this evening. I'm waiting for the pleasure to die down enough that I can stop. Currently listening to Outside World off the fabulous Drums & Wires. It isn't going to stop at this point.
Register with a dating agency. Cut out the bullshit. You know what you want. We know what you want. Why don't you go out with someone who also wants the same..? Honestly, I've known it to work with loads of people.
Someone quirky and geeky with a passion for LoTR and Harry Potter (and football, but let's not get into the realms of fantasy)? Yes, hopefully there's someone out there looking for the same thing.
I promise you PL. If I asked the people I know who have registered with a dating agency, they would tell you that it almost amounts to a guarantee that you'll find some success. Give it a try. i don't know why I haven't suggested you try it before.
I know you're not actually looking for advice, you're just hoping people will say "poor you", but there's a glaring error in what you've posted. In what way is it possible for you not to "get the opportunity" to talk to her tomorrow? Fair enough, if you die overnight or she does, I'll accept your point but short of that you're the problem. Talk to the girl. If you're never going to be seeing her again (and boy, do you want us to believe that) then what does it matter what she thinks of you? So, you might as well go and ask her if she fancies a coffee, as you have NOTHING to lose. Cue a post tomorrow telling us why that wasn't possible. Vin P.S. "...and then I'll stop bugging you". Promises, promises.
Actually, I was looking for advice. And I meant like if she heads off straight after class before I can catch up with her (she left quite quickly last week). Well, YOLO. Thanks for the advice.
I literally worked with this person all summer. Well not the football but all the fantasy stuff. She's doing a PhD now. No you can't have her number. This didn't help, I know.
What's hench? Well, it shows that such girls do exist #silverlining But anyway, I'll shut up now and whatever happens tomorrow, I promise not to post about it here. Apologies for being such an annoying t**t.
Sit at the back of the class. Get to class early and see if you can talk to her before class. Just shout out her name as she's leaving. I mean, it's pretty hard to avoid talking to someone when you think about it, especially if they catch you by surprise. Talking to her isn't the problem, though. The problem is that talking to a specific woman in a specific situation with no wingman in unfamiliar and unfavorable territory is the hardest thing to pull off in the dating game. So unless you are super, super slick (and you obviously aren't, no offense) you're not going to come off well. The odds of success are extremely low. But, as Onionman points out-- the price of failure is just someone saying "No" which isn't really a big deal. So if you have that attitude, then just go for it. In general though, your whole approach here is wrong and instead of asking how to talk to someone in a situation like this, you need to learn to avoid this situation in the first place. You need to just start talking to women all the time. Not asking them out on dates, just talking to them. The more women you talk to, the more at ease you are around them, and some of them might be closet LOTR freaks, who knows? If not, some of them will still be nice people who will become your friends, and friends are always nice to have. And the more women friends you have, the easier it is to find other women and to talk to them in a favorable environment. They will actually help hook you up. What you are trying to do is like picking up the phone and cold calling an office looking for a job. Gotta network, man. The dating scene is very hard without at least one reliable wingman and a platonic female friend.
And that upsurge of withdrawal symptoms, nostalgia, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, itching, pain in the joints, headache, IBS, etc... have all started to abate, yes..?
I've been in Somerset and Devon for a couple of days with limited access to return and find the forum down. I also woke up with terrible indigestion at 1am until 4 am this morning ... no forum. FFS.
There you go. BTW FLT, provided there's no underlying fundamental problem, you're just at the right age where indigestion starts to kick in, because your digestive system just won't comply any longer with the abuse you threw at it when you were younger [if you did]. It happened to me, I ignored it and used to get indigestion that could light up a city, it was so powerful, and it has taken me several years to find a compromise. I can't remember the last time I had indigestion now. No cheese, that had undergone the cheddar process, was a key. Simple cheeses are fine. I don't miss it.
