Girls get nervous around guys too! I thought that was an urban legend! :o

I'll have some money this weekend, but right now I have $4.74 USD to my name. Well, technically I have $1,004.74 USD to my name, but I'm budgeting it out over my first semester. Also, walking to the nearest theater, especially in the Kentucky heat, might be a problem.

I do, however, have a nice collection of DVDs. once I know her better I could always ask her to my room to watch a movie.

Consider getting a job on campus during your 2nd year. The extra money will help a lot. But a year of low income will help you appreciate that :)

A DVD movie would be better than a theater. For one, you guys can talk and get to know each other. If you go to a theater then there will be this heightened sense of formal dating, which, based on what you're saying, might make the two of you a little nervous.

Believe me, I know what it's like to be broke. Walking two miles to the store, and six miles to pay bills, because you can't afford a car, will give you a good idea of what it's like to be poor. That being said, I've never really felt poor, because I've always had enough to be happy. And when I got a little more, I got a little happier. And when I lost that little more, my happiness didn't go back down. I get bad moods like everyone, but all-in-all I'm a fairly happy guy.

I liked a guy but I wasn't about to ask him out - I prefer being asked rather than doing the asking myself (yes, I'm sexist like that) 8-). However, I did get to know him and I figured out that we weren't compatible. I still find him extremely hot, but I don't get nervous around him anymore... ;) Good luck!

What she means is...[censored]*

Nah, she's just contributing to poisoning men's understanding of women. It's how women keep their mysteriousness. Everything women tell you - ignore it - they're lying, like when they tell you they don't care about money or fake an orgasm. ;)

* I really shouldn't say. It would be disrespectful and probably attract a lot of unnecessary attention from admins and women's rights activists. It might also land me on the women's network hitlist, which could result in my getting scratched or slapped unexpectedly. <shudder/>

;D

Sorry, beer does this to me sometimes. It'll pass. ;D

So if I ask her out and she says yes... that means no? But no still means no! We had a seminar on it the second day here! That means there is no concievable way for men and women to get together, and therefor the human race will die out! :o

Forget that stuff about getting to know each other. You'll end up in the friends category.
Cut the bs and ask her out. If she says no, life goes on, plenty of nubile women in the campus. If she says yes, feel proud that you acted like a man with hair on his chest. 8-)

checks chest... sees hair

Okay manjula, that's what I'll do. By the way, I've already said that's what I'm going to do a few posts back. maybe you didn't see it.

As for "getting to know her", I'd prefer getting to know her as a girlfriend. It just seems to cut out a lot of wasted time.

:) Same here. I've walked a metric ton having moved on campus and not having a car (well, no license actually, due to no insurance). Sometimes it's annoying, but it's kinda nice at the same time. And I bike as well; that's good exercise. There's nothing like biking 19 miles just to get to the Apple store.

I'd say I'm poor by comparison to others, but really I've always had what I need. So I guess, like you, I'm pretty eudaemonic. :)

Go to your "control center" (link in upper right), Custom CSS/JS, and add this to your custom CSS:

span.cuss {
background: transparent;
top: 0;
}

span.cuss span {
visibility: visible;
}

I actually tend to feel more manly when I get rejected. Anyone can like a girl. It takes a man to ask her out. It takes real man to get shot down and keep going.

Good luck Possumdude0.

Damn it! I can't find her. She's not in her room, and she's not eating breakfast, and I don't know where else she'd go. But at least now I know it isn't that hard to go knock on her door. I'll have to try again later.

For the love of god, just grab her and kiss her. It's really not that difficult.

He has to find her first.

Possumdude0, post your picture and we'll be brutally honest about your chances with women in general.

I would if I had a digital camera. I will tell you that your comments probably wouldn't help my confidence level much.

Real men are as human as anyone else. Real men hide their emotions, but they still have them.

That means all Vulcans are real men!:o

I just can't work up the nerve to go ask her out

Go across town and ask 50 total strangers out (if they say yes ignore them). When it gets boring you should be able to ask your girl out.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

Neil Black

The problem with that is the 50 total strangers are total strangers. There would be almost no nervousness. Compouding that problem is the fact that I wouldn't actually be intending to date them. Girls only make me nervous if I like her and think I have a chance.
