this thing is awsome, i never thought i would really dig little effect cymbals, but man... i love this little guy.

Seafroggys 07-30-2005 11:31 PM

Okay call me crazy but help me out here:

So there's this girl I like (no, don't stop reading, please!)

Anyway, we know each other, but I wouldn't consider each other friends. Junior year we co-starred in the One Acts together (when I started really liking her, but had a g/f at the time) but ever since then we rarely talked and stuff....mostly my fault, because I'd get all shy around her (god I feel like a 12 year old, but its true!) but we had 'some' conversations over the past 2 years.

Anyway, now we're both graduated, and I'm probably never gonna see her again.

I've spent a lot of this summer hoping "Oh well maybe when I'm out and about I'll run into her and we'll start talking and stuff and maybe we can start doing stuff together.....as friends." Now its obvious that I'm dreaming there. If I think like that, nothing will ever happen.

Yesterday I started thinking about her (**** I'm a hopeless romantic stalker) again. And then the most obvious idea struck me....why don't I call her?

I can be fairly socialble at times, but I'm not neccesaryily the most sociable person. I'm the type where if you start the conversation with me, I'm fine and open, but I cannot start a conversation to save my life except if its with maybe my best friend (even with my regular friends I can't start a conversation) and my now ex-g/f. So the obvious solution I thought of is really hard for me to do, and I know I'm gonna be nervous as hell too calling her up, me taking the initative.

Now I don't want to get all in a relationship right away. I want to become good friends with her first. Anyway, my plan is to call her (on Monday) and just tell her I'm trying to get a hold of everybody I know because its been a lonely summer, so hopefully that can start a hopefully long conversation. And I'll see what goes from there.

Now if I call her home and she's not there, I don't want to leave me name and number, but just ask when I can reach for her again. I'll just say I'm an 'old school-mate'. If I leave it up to her to call me back, the chances of a conversation decrease because I know that people don't deliver messages or call people back they missed. Its just something people do.

Anyway, I found her phone number and everything, but I was wondering what the rest of you people think. Any suggestions ideas for my grand plan? And the great thing is......I've got absolutly nothing to lose. Even if I do make a fool out of myself (which has happened before in my life) its not like I'm gonna be seeing her or any of her friends again for a long time, and I'll doubt word will get around to my friends and stuff. I've got nothing to lose.

Anyways, any comments?

First of all, I like your attitude, so...

Here's what you do, it's fairly simple;

If you call her, 3 main, possible things can happen.

1. You don't get a answer, don't leave a message WHATEVER YOU DO, you'll ramble, or loose your nerve, and it'll most likely wind up doing more harm than good. I know I've tried it before I can't wing messages, there's just too much pressure.

2. Her parents and/or simblings pick up first. In which case you ask to speak to whatever her name is. If she's not there, ask when she may be back, and ask the parent/sibling to tell her that you called. It's always nice to hear someone has called for you. If however she is able to talk, good show.

3. The main goal, the converstion. You say your "hello"s, and don't forget to state who you are up front, in a casual way of course, make it seem like you shouldn't have to. The rest is just how you feel at the time, feel free to include mindless small talk about your summer, and hers, don't neglect giving her a chance to run her mouth, hahaha. The "eat and apple on the phone" technique like George does to make yourself more comfortable could be an option for you as well. Finally, just ask her to hang out sometime, note: renting movies and watching them at your/her has a much more intimate feel than the theatres.

And there you have it, tell me how it goes.

Give it to yourself for doing this, it takes some effort on your part, but I would hate to see you not act at all.

If you want it to seem casual, than you might not want to. If she knows you are looking for her, than she is going to know something's up. You probably want to catch her off gaurd and have her pleasantly surprised by your call, rather than give her time to think of every possible reason you would be calling. (girls do that)

Also, the whole "I want to be friends first, then more later" is a good premise, but seldom works out well. Start dropping hints after the second of third time you see her. Compliment her, say you really enjoy her etc. You have a limited timeframe before she puts you in the "just friends" category, and if she doesn't think you like her, she may even go for someone else before your plan has completely unfolded.

Seafroggys 07-31-2005 12:36 AM

Actually my name is Justin, but close ;)

Come to think of it I'll probably need to use my full name..... :P

EDIT for above post: Yeah I was thinking about that too. If I leave my name she'll probably think of reasons for not calling me back. I want to surprise her too, because I know women love surprises (quite a bit of experience from my last g/f, mind yuo).
