*Official* Relationship Advice Thread

[Ghostvirus]

I figured since there seems to be alot of people asking advice about relations. There should be a place to post question, suggestion, etc...

I will go first. There is this pharmacy that I have went to for about 10 years. I love the place, because I have built a strong rep, so I don't have to deal with some of the crap that others do.

Anyway I have run into a little bit of a delimma. There is a pharmacist who works there that I can't stop thinking about. I want to ask her out, but I have 2 probs.

1. I am pretty sure that she is quite a bit older than me. Which isn't a problem for me. I just don't know if it is one for her.

2. If she says no I can't very well keep going there, because it would just be awkward.

Basically. Should I risk it, or not?

 

[Abaddon]

chat her up some and find out more about her first.

also, I think there's another thread like this somewhere.

My advice: don't ask for advice on message boards.

Maximum Carnage, talk to her more, see what kind of guys she goes for, get to know here etc. then get back to us.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I am witty, & funny when I am around people I know. But as soon as I am around woman, or just strangers I black out. My brain goes blank, & I become a bumbling baffoon. Which I think some mis-conceive as arragance.

I am also horribly bad at picking up signals. I will say that she has actually made it a point to talk to me when I am there, & that all the times we have talked she has not once brought up a boyfriend, or husband, so...

Heh. I'm the same way, to an extent. If I'm with friends, and comfortable, I'm usually pretty smooth and conversational, but if I'm at all uncomfortable, I'm ****ed.

Funny story:I'm at a club with a bunch of friends, I'm pretty buzzed, my friends peel off to dance, I stayed to keep an eye on the drinks and coats--i didn't feel like dancing. Some gorgeous girl came over and sat next to me.
Girl: "What's up?"
Me: *delayed* "...g-good."

Then I just sat there for about thirty seconds, didn't even attempt a save, and mumbled an excuse to leave, and proceeded to drink heavily.

Classic uncomfortable Pete.

Hey at least you walked away. I usually freeze, & stay there not saying anything until they leave. Thats where the presumed arrogance comes into play. When in reality I am losing my sh**, can't move, or speak. It really pisses me off!

Risk it, you only live once.

 

[tzarinna]

Treat her like a person and not some quest.
Maybe ask her to hang out and do something that's not so date/romantic pressured.

 

[Immortalfire]

Glad to see someone finally gave GAH his own refuge thread.

Yeah...

No one is going to stop before they make a thread about how they sneezed on a girl and their world is ending and go "hey, maybe there's a special thread for this kind of thing."

 

[Darthphere]

I really like this girl and she likes me but the problem is, she has no arms and she can't hug me. I can't love without hugs, what should I do?

 

[Mee]

Train her to hug with her legs.

Give her one of your arms, so you can have a weird, creepy half-hug.

Artificial arms

Just ask her out. What makes you think you can't go back there if she says no?

All she says is no. She's not gonna scream no, jump over the counter laughing at you and kick you in the balls.

Rejection really isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Life does go on, the earth still spins.

Even if fro some reason it does become awkward, WHO CARES? It's not like she was gonna go out with you anyway so **** the awkwardness.

My advice: don't ask for advice on message boards.

Especially from superhero message boards. But it’s good to get all the people foolish enough to ask for advice in a thread that we can all ignore. Would a mod like to sticky this?

 

[Abaddon]

you can ignore any thread.
