bamccaig said: So the general consensus seems to be that it was an ill-advised attempt to let me down gently and that I should just ignore it. That part's simple. The hard part though is, do I stop going to the sub shop, or if I do go back and run into her, do I just pretend there is an elephant in the room (i.e., not talk about it unless she brings it up)?
I don't have much experience with following through, but I've got a heck of a experience with backing down. You're doing it. You've got a chance. You've got nothing to lose. Go for broke! Why shouldn't she be the one who feels awkward when you come into that shop again?</bad advice> |

She has a boyfriend. She gave you her number. What kind of girl is that. And are you honestly interested in a girl that has a boyfriend at the moment? How far would you go with her while she still has a boyfriend? Will you be enjoying the time when she is figuring out whether to dump the old boyfriend or to just stick with both him and you? My advice is to move on to the next one that doesn't have a boyfriend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

And one more that came to my mind: jhuuskon said: On such threads on allegro.cc forums, for every post analysing human female behaviour the probability of a terminal male error approaches one. That said, you're thinking too much, but if you insist stop going for sandwiches, stay inside your cave, let your meal driven to home. Pay under your door in order to stay out of contact and so on bamccaig said: In this context a sub is a submarine sandwich. Allright, so I got that almost right. I thought it's sandwich from Subway. But anyway without a context and with a bit of sick humour, one could think something else [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

There's no long term commitment at that stage. Or maybe she is getting tired of bambam stalking her, so she is giving him her number in the hopes he calls her so that her boyfriend will find out and subsequently seek out and destroy bambam. |

Johan Halmén said: She has a boyfriend. She gave you her number. What kind of girl is that. I think she's just a very nice person. That's certainly the impression I've gotten chatting with her while she made sandwiches. She's very friendly with everybody that comes in. That is, instead of just outright saying no, she offered to be friends instead. Johan Halmén said: And are you honestly interested in a girl that has a boyfriend at the moment? How far would you go with her while she still has a boyfriend? Will you be enjoying the time when she is figuring out whether to dump the old boyfriend or to just stick with both him and you? It more or less comes down to accepting friendship and just being friends or else refusing that. I don't even know her at this point so it really doesn't matter to me either way. Maybe she's the contradiction to my generalizations that I've been looking for. Or maybe not. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

First apologize for not giving her your name. Second, give her your phone number and email address. Third, ask her what she likes to do, sports, books, games whatever. Fourth, tell her some of the things you like to do. Fifth, do some of those things together. Sixth, stop analyzing. By reading this sig, I, the reader, agree to render my soul to Bob Keane.

Quote: Fuck being nice to people. They'll just exploit you for it. [..]. Now I'm enraged that my kindness is being taken advantage of. I hate people. Quick, kill her while you still have a chance and before she can exploit and take advantage of your friendliness. You hate people. --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

Thing is, you want love, she wants friendship. You'll pain every time you go out. Then her boyfriend will get jealous and beat you up with a baseball bat. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I think we need a photo of the lovely lady, taken by stealth naturally, so we can offer more accurate advice. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I'm waiting for the day when both sides are a.cc members but they don't realize that. And both people create threads that describe the same situation. However, both sides have such a different view that it isn't obvious until 100 posts later when they are both giving each other terrible advice. |

That's why I had to ask this one at work... I was asking more for ideas of what to do with her (i.e., go bowling, see a movie, ...). Nothing I can think of seems like a non-date. Of course, there was a pretty unanimous NOTHING, so that settles that. Matthew Leverton said: I'm waiting for the day when both sides are a.cc members but they don't realize that.

You mean when they start complaining about the other person doing the things they told them to do? I don't see this happening because women are very rare here and women that would value our opinions on relationships are even moreso. As for giving each other terrible advice, I expect that would be one-sided. That is, the woman would be giving stupid encoded messages, whereas the man would likely just outright say exactly what to do (sadly, she would probably not take this advice). -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

So if you have an appointment to get audited by that ugly old woman at the IRS, you have a date with her. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

If she still likes you, try going to a concert or a show together somewhere.

This is all silliness! Just proceed as normal, as if nothing happened. When she asks you why you never called, pretend you don't understand. She will think she is making it all up. Then she will want you very badly. |
