Hey, you did it, good on you.

Trust me, Ibram if I had a dollar for every time I was turned down... Mmm, well, I wouldn't be posting here telling you about it, I'd be jumping into my Duck Tales sized vault of cash.

Seriously, way proud of ya, dog. After that initial leap it gets tons easier.

Hey, yeah, i know, this one's totally no harm no foul. It doesnt really bother me much at all, a little bit of disappointment, a little bit of 'ouch' factor, but, hey, i'm coo'.

DanaC · 11-16-2007, 09:16 AM

Well. I'm impressed. Way to go Ibby. Her loss.

Ibby · 11-16-2007, 10:25 AM

Mmm, im not exactly convinced it is her loss but i mean, its no big thing at all y'know.

I've at least made a new friend in her out of this i hope.

Ibby · 11-17-2007, 01:12 PM

I'm internally debating putting a picture of her on here for y'all to see. Bad idea?

A lot harder for a teenager to find sex? -Good.

A lot harder for a teenager to find love? -Don't believe it.

very bad idea ibby:P

Clodfobble · 11-17-2007, 03:51 PM

Yeah, bad idea. It's not a good habit to put photos of people on the internet without their knowledge or permission (says the woman who posted half-naked pictures of her five college roommates, but A.) they weren't minors, B.) our friendship was not in the fledgling-development stage, and C.) I made sure to blank out their faces just in case.)

ZenGum · 11-17-2007, 11:09 PM

Clod, where are those pictures??? Quick, dammit!

Clodfobble · 11-17-2007, 11:53 PM

Oh, somewhere in the "Why aren't there more pictures of LabRat's ass?" thread. You'll just have to browse the whole thing, I guess.

: big sigh : O geee if I must.

Bad idea for all the reasons stated, plus why do we care what she looks like? It's who she is that counts.

what does it mean if a girl asks if youre going to frolic (winter formal dance), and you say no, then she cajoles you into going, and you say you have nothing to wear, and you agree that you'll go to frolic if she'll take you shopping and she agrees gladly... does it mean nothing, as i assume?

Quote:

[21:06] ******: so are you going to frolic?

[21:06] Me.: like whaaat
[21:06] Me.: i dont have anything to wear

[21:11] Me.: meh
[21:11] ******: anyway it's a great song
[21:13] Me.: tell you what ill go to frolic if you'll go shopping with me
[21:13] ******: sold! except we have to figure out when

ZenGum · 12-08-2007, 08:59 AM

Well.... you've got a possible. It might develop, or it might not.
Go shopping. Before the shopping trip, observe what other "cool" looking people in your society wear, so you've got an idea of what you're aiming at.
Go shopping. Dress fairly nicely - this is a proto-date. Take money. Don't be stingy (but keep your head, of course). Listen to her advice. As a general rule, at that age females have much better dress sense that males. Don't spend too long deciding. That is irritating for her. Keep an eye out for things she might be interested in. Understand that she will probably "just pop in for a minute" to a few shops of her style. Wait patiently.
Then once you've bought your new glad rags, be sure to insist on buying her a coffee (and cake) to "thank her" for her advice. Then, be sure to arrange that you're going to the dance with her.

In other words, do the exact bloody opposite of everything I ever did when I was a stupid inept teenager without a bloody clue.

The path above does not ensure success, but the alternative pretty much promises failure.

If nothing else, you'll have (a) a nice new outfit and (b) probably someone will notice you out with a girl .. which subtly improves your overall social standing.
