Oh no, not another relationship thread

It's situations like these that make me miss college, whether they happpened to me or my friends.

Seriously. Love the fun/awkwardness of growing into adulthood.

 

Don't forget to tell her you love her.

Might as well ask her out for realz ... nothing to loose. Besides, I'm assuming your college is big enough that you can always find plenty of other females out of your league.

 

Stole my thunder. Was gonna say, damn I miss college.

Seriously, CALL her up. Don't text her. Don't email her. Don't pussyfoot your way around asking her out. Women like to be asked out, even if it's by the ugliest guy in the room. It's flattering and you just never know what she might say.

 

Yeah, I thought of all three as signals, too. Well, mostly just the first one, the second one because she uncharacteristically got very drunk and the third I don't know.

I probably don't have anything to lose. If it fails, I'll get used to how things are talked about in the Greek system and how I'll be tagged with "turned down by Christine" for two more years.

I'm probably going to wait a little while longer, hopefully meet up randomly through friends again and hang out with less alcohol in our respective systems.

But I do need to grow a pair.

 

Longer you wait, the more likely she'll think you're not interested and move on to someone else.

Do it.

 

Ah yes, the machismo syndrome. I think it's bullshit but if it really bothers you, take solace in the fact that having sex with her already will score you some machismo points in most fraternity houses.

Now if they find you weeping "Oh Christine" in the bathroom after she dumps your ass, then you may subtract said points.

 

You know what's most frustrating about men. They wait and wait and wait and wait to ask me out and then, after I've moved on, they come out and confess to having been interested. Ask her out, soon, before she think you viewed it as nothing more than another notch on your belt and moves on.

 

Is this how the mating ritual is done these days? Through inane word messages about school and schedules?

Does no one speak to each other anymore? Use the phone for what it was invented for, CR. Call the girl, speak, ask her out.

Good luck.

 

People "poke" each other.

That leads you to their Facebook page, where (if they reveal it), you can see everything and anything -- cell phone number, screen name, e-mail address, home address, class schedule, etc.

So you can stalk 'em, talk to them, do whatever you want.

That way, by the time y'all see each other again, you're good and ready to mate.

 

I'm way too good at psyching myself out, guys.

So much pressure to hit her up. I'm sitting here at the desk, my second day of work after three months off, trying to focus on my feature about a kid who les Team USA to victory in the World Youth Championship, and all I want to do is text this girl.

 

If you can sex the girl you can text the girl. What's the big, fucking deal?

 

Call her. It isn't rocket science. Do lunch - non-thtreatening way to meet. But for fuck's sake, man, don't think, do! Call her.
