MarkM 0 #53 October 5, 2001 QuoteBe yourself from the start, and feel good about it. Be authentic with her.....it will work its self out, and you both feel much better about you in the long run. Gotta agree with sbs here. Don't make a big production out of it, it scares chicks off.Next time you see her at class ask if she wants to go grab lunch or a cup of coffee. If she likes you she'll tag along for the opportunity to get to know you.Then after you've talked a bit you can decide if she's someone you'd want to drag out to a dropzone or do some photography with.

Keith 0 #54 October 5, 2001 Yep, that's me. Oh and btw, save the body contortion until she knows you *much* better. Wouldn't want to scare her off before you even get started.

wussgirl 0 #63 October 7, 2001 Hey Viking,I'm a shy dz girl who rarely gets asked out but I think that any girl would be lucky to have a guy who is so crazy about her. The same thing happened with my parents and they have been happily together for 47 years. Dad still walks around with a silly grin on his face (or maybe it's from all of his hard openings ) . I'm holding out for a guy who feels the same way about me . So you never know....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinister69 0 #64 October 7, 2001 Hey Viking,Just ask her out, I'm sure she is interested. I just got a new girlfriend three weeks ago, I wasn't sure if she was interested or not. I have known her brother for about three years now (we used to work together and are still good friends). I didn't meet her until the beginning of this summer when she came home from college. Well anyways, I wasn't sure if she was interested or not so I didn't do too much about it. Then I broke my leg so I was spending more time with my bud (he's got two jumps under his belt now). I came to find out from him and his mom that in their own words "Katie wouldn't say no if you asked her out". So that gave me some courage. But I was still nervous about asking her out because I had a full leg cast on and couldn't do too much of anything. Well, couple of days before I asked her out I was talking with my father and saying I should ask her out, but didn't know what to do.Well, saturday rolls around and I get a call in the middle of the afternoon. I have caller ID so I thought it was my bud Kevin back for the weekend from the Navy. Lo and behold it's Katie on the phone!!!! She asks me how my leg is doing and stuff and we talk for a few minutes. Well we hang up and stupid me still didn't ask her out. She's obviously giving me a big hint. So I call back about an hour later wanting to ask her if she'd like to go to a movie, but the phone keeps ringing. No one home. I'm bummed.Sunday comes along and I call but she's not there. I get her cell phone number from her mom. Took some guts to ask for it but I did. I call her cell phone and she answers. Had a little bit of small talk but I finally ask if she would like to go to a movie with me and BOOOOM!!! Immediate yes, she would like that very much.And we have been seeing each other for three weeks now. She's great! only problem is that she is a die hard whuffo, but she has no problem with me jumping! I think eventually I could break her down so that she will jump, but I'm not going to try pushing that button too much. She thinks I'm crazy that I jump, but she said she would love to go to the DZ and watch me jump. We even went to the DZ this weekend so that I could buy some gear. And another good thing is that she has a degree in athletics and physical therapy, and is currently studying to be a nurse, she wants her specialty to be orthopedics (bones). This is great for me because she says she's going to help me out with my physical therapy to get me back in the air as soon as possible.And with the other posts above about finding someone that makes you smile all the time??? Katie does that for me!!! It just feels good being around her. Good luck on your picture taking date!! ask her out man!Blue Skies!Sinister69A-38927 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybaby420 0 #66 October 8, 2001 Well, I just have to say that I think that's great. I agree with everyone ~ she's a lucky girl. Hell, I lived with my man and caught him with someone else. I left him 6 months ago and am still finding it very difficult drag myself out of bed everyday. I guess the thing that really gets me is that he had no remorse. That and the fact that he is friends with my bro whom I used to be friends with until all of this. I guess my bro has made his choice, as well, for we have not spoken since April. I'm not sure which hurts the most. But I do know, however, that this too soon shall pass. I feel I have gained knowledge in my life about myself and others - probably a lot faster than most. At 22 I was traveling the US alone and learning to skydive. Everyone thought I'd be back in a month, but I didn't show up again for almost three years. You just can't pass up opportunity and you must be grateful for what you have. Sure, I had a nice house, jet ski, blah blah blah when with the ex. Now I am so broke I am not sure where my next meal is going to come from. And as hard as it is for me to believe it, I know I am in a much better position than I was when I was with him. I guess what I am trying to say is GO FOR IT. I really hope that it works out for you. I think love and caring are such beautiful things. I am surrounded by a lot of negativity from my family and have tried hard all of my life not to let it get me down. I just think that everyone should be surrounded by the positive energy they need in whatever form it takes. Good luck to you.~Shelly~GWEARS.COM Skybaby Series~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #67 October 9, 2001 "harased by drunk guys all night"Hey.....What the hells wrong with that? I was just doing that last night. Well, I wasn't hitting on her. Actually I was making fun of her. She was getting kinda pissed but I was having fun.Viking....Just use some of my favorite lines. Saunter up and ask "How you doin?" Then comment on how nice she looks today. Especially the shoes......Then spring the Wanna fuck question on her. It just may work! Then you can skip all the crap of spending money on her and trying to think of nice things to say when all you can really think about is what she looks like naked.....with her mouth full........LMAO "The sky resembles a back lit canopy...with holes punched through it"- IncubusClay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #73 January 9, 2003 Quote Oh sweet little Viking, the things I could do to you if it wouldn't make me feel like a dirty old lady. Jess This always cracks me up. Guys walking around saying "should I ask for a date?". Of course. I guess it is some religious training that gives guys that idea that women aren't interested. Most of the time, I find that women are the aggressors, they are just more subtle. They find a reason to talk to you or stand next to you until you say something (then act surprised when you do). They even act interested in what you have to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #74 January 9, 2003 And here's a tangent (but related) story: I met a really cute girl in the photography class that I was taking before the one I am in now. She was very friendly, made eye contact when she talked, and was an engaging conversationalist. We always seemed to have plenty to talk about while working in the darkroom and during class. (It also turned out that we were pretty much the only 2 people in the class for a majority of it) Anyway, I finally get up the courage to ask her if she wanted to exchange contact information (email/phone numbers), and we did. Then after class one night (10pm on a Friday) I asked her if she would like to go get something to drink, as we were walking back to our cars. No, she said she was too tired and was just going to go home, but to email her sometime because she is rarely around to answer her phone. So I email her and ask her if she'd like to have dinner some night, give us the chance to talk outside of class, etc. etc. Never heard back from her regarding that email. What's weird is at the next class session, she was just as friendly and conversational as usual. I guess she just chose to selectively ignore the email. I didn't ask her about it because it was the second "brush off" and it seemed to send me a strong enough signal. I'm not really interested in the kind of girl who would send mixed signals like that (especially one would doesn't even have the curtesy to politely refuse a date), so the whole scenario was little more than just an annoyance to me, but it still goes to show, Viking, that sometimes girls just don't make any sense. And when they do act irrationally, don't take it personally. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
