MuzikTyme Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why then, does the new era of generation continue to put the . . . ahem . . . on a pedestal? This, as you know, is the main problem. But then again, it's easier to say: Who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Go up to her, acknowledge that what she heard is true, and ask her out. Easier to do if you are over the age of 25... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Why then, does the new era of generation continue to put the . . . ahem . . . on a pedestal? bECAUSE THAT IS WHERE "IT" LIKES TO SIT. aND WE CAN SEE IT BETTER..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks for the advice everyone, I thought that you were all going to slaughter me by calling me a fool! Thanks for the insight. I don't think that I'd be brave enough to confront her yet, it's not like I'd have a huge amount of chances to do it anyway. I only have English class with her (4 times a week). She's a boarder, and I'm not. We do have a good amount of similar friends though. All I think I can do for the moment is when I see her, just smile and say hello, because being embarassed makes me laugh. Is that a good thing to do? One thing I know not to do is sit there miserable in her presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Oh yes always be sure to say hello to her, don't let her think you are being a jerk or something...and just see where this goes, she knows but as you said she likes some other dude, and who knows he may turn out to be a jerk and you can be the knight...girls always like a knight to save them!

Floydaholic Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I heard that this guy just wants to "get" with her, so that's not cool at all. I'd like to be in a relationship with her, because making her laugh and that sort of thing is important to me, and would make me feel good too. I have to be careful not to sit back too much, I've made that mistake many times before! I have English 1st thing on Friday morning, and I usually sit near her because of similar friends. What would you honestly think of a guy if you were in that exact same situation with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Me, I fall for the guys that have a heart, a little bit of an edge. But if I knew a guy liked me and I was interested in someone else, I would be flattered and like the attention from him as long as it wasn't over the top. We all like to have attention and maybe in a subtle way you can let her know you are the one for her, that you don't just want to "get with her", chicks do want more, we like someone who can be in a relationship and not run away.

Exactly, and guy friends are great to have...and sometimes they become more than just a friend. Those shoulders that you lean on are great to have around....

Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I had a good friend from the time I was 12 all through high school and he was the best and we would listen to one anothers sob stories of our latest breakups...well one time we thought let's see what happens if we hook up, and it was fun and great and we were together for a time and in the end still friends, and still are today. So you just never know, but I think being a friend is such a great gift and if it leads to more that is like getting to unwrap your present early!

MuzikTyme Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 men don´t like to listen Hmmm . . . Key word, men, is much too broad a category to collectively form only one conclusion. I submit, that there are exceptions beyond the opposite's sex wildest dreams. Don't get caught in the trap which limits the open mind. Never lock the door . . .

MuzikTyme Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 The pleasure's all mine, Laurie For the meeting of the minds! I'd like not to be a statistic as much as an individual.

Shawna Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'd like not to be a statistic as much as an individual. "Whoever said there's nothing new under the sun Never thought much about... me..." This is such an intriguing thing for me, because I'm not anywhere near the same person I was when I was in high school. I'm trying to put myself back there, and it's near impossible!

MuzikTyme Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Not go back to grunge? That's akin to saying that Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and, notwithstanding, Neil Young sucks. I'll refute this opinion on the grounds that flannel is very comfortable in chilly weather as well as hiking boots are wonderful along the Appalachian trail. Cherish memories; good or bad.

MuzikTyme Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 There's a difference between style and fad. Style never goes out of it. Wish I had my 70's bell bottoms...sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yep, do what Ron said. You might even want to make a small self depricating remark like, "well, I guess I'm the laughing stock of school today".... And oh, in the future don't tell her friends...tell her. UJ, our combined wisdom is amazing. Either that, or we both learned the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
