Anyone know a good idea for a first date in high school? I want to be able to talk (not a movie) but I still want an activity to focus on if a conversation goes dead for a little bit.

Also, make your self accessible to her parents, polite conversation and them seeing you does help.

Agreed, but maybe not for the very first date. Play that by ear, but be accommodating to them.

I probably should have added that this would be good if the date goes well for both of them and they decide that future dates are in order.

Ask her to marry you.

Real men don’t ask, Frink–you have to be more assertive than that. Girls like confidence in a guy.

So…tell her she’s getting married? Grab her in the wedding ring?

I wish your dream was my reality.

Loneliness and horniness, for starters. . . .

Yeesh, that’s a sure recipe for later loneliness when she gets bored of you after a week… (Honestly though, if you’re the kind of person who’s going to go up to a guy, and simply announce that you’re marrying him the next day, you’re probably not into fulfilling relationships, to say the least.)

That’s when stalking comes into play. . . .

I was finally able to pick up The Return of Godzilla, Kraken Releasing, Bluray. RedMenace’s version is better quality wise but it’s nice to have the release to go along side it in a case for my kaiju viewing pleasure.

😃

Good for you!

Now if only I had the same luck with my crush…(it’s partly my fault, but it’s also hard just to get a seat beside her in class, never mind actually hanging out with her).

Keep at it! The fact you even find another person special enough to have feelings for is something worth treasuring.

I’ve been getting better at it, but it’s hard to talk to her or text her without being a little too obvious (which I don’t think I’m ready for, especially given that she almost definitely doesn’t like me back). I don’t know any of the people she hangs out with, and she only occasionally hangs out with my friend group, so it’s a challenge to really find/make an opportunity for conversation. I’ve been trying to gradually develop a friendship with her, but I’ve been making awfully slow progress. 😛

I’m going to come right out and say I don’t understand texting and other digital means of communication being worthwhile if you don’t do anything with them. They’re distractions from reality, so not much thought could possibly be put into them unless they’re really meaningful conversations. Being constantly accessible isn’t always a good thing, I’ve pretty much left social media entirely because I don’t like how everyone’s company/insight is taken for granted.

This belongs in the bitching thread, whoops.

2: Gradually developing a friendship isn’t what you want, and that isn’t how relationships start, so unless you’re completely satisfied with her just being a friend, then there’s no need to take that route. Use your best judgement, but I can say that the gradually developing a relationship approach doesn’t work.

And I can say that it does. Blanket advice in this situation is silly.

^Yeah, I’m really not sure which is the better route in my situation. 😛 What I do know, though, is that I’m far from mastering the art of conversation (seriously, though, I suck at keeping a converstion going unless we start talking about something really controversial, LOL), so I’d probably have a better chance of not making things super awkward if I get more comfortable around her first.
