although i'd passed her a few times on separate occasions, and it was a very small town. she said no

Only mental people do this.

to try and eat her own face off so she'd never have to see again.
...No I haven't.

You have to find out her hobbies, take them up and feign interest

I've seen people fly in films, doesn't mean I'm going to start jumping off the tops of buildings. Not high ones, anyway.

it's no weirder than approaching a stranger in a nightclub/pub/ when you really think about it. it depends how you do it, you can't come across as desperate or psychotic obviously

That's a bit silly

more because our paths crossed on the morning walk to work, so it wasn't a one off thing. One time we happened to be stood together waiting at the lights and she was looking at me so I started talking to her. Met her for a drink. Got on fine but no real spark so nothing came of it. It's tricky though because you see people you fancy every day but it's a bit mental to stop them in the middle of the street. Had something similarly weird happen to me on the tube recently too.

they're more than welcome to

that is all

Were you walking towards each other down a really long road?

Also: she was probably biting her lip to stop herself from laughing at your face.

because by walking into a nightclub, a person is effectively accepting that they may be approached for sexual or romantic reasons, whereas by walking down the street, they are not. It's weird.

1 from 2
1 from 1
and one looking over shoulder as we passed.

how mean!

a) they're wanky

b) depending on the user there are massive double standards over wether they're cute or pervy

If you're in a nightclub or a pub, chances are people are there with the hopes of pulling. Plus, you can blame it on being too drunk if you're denied and make a tit out of yourself.

But if you just walk up to someone on the street and ask them out, then it's just really rude. They're just out on their business and then they've got some weirdo coming up and asking them out on a date. It's just not cool. It makes you look even more desperate, no matter what way you do it.

Why do I know that?

so fucking close my eyes are bleeding

That's all I'm willing to reveal right now. Thanks.

And yes, that it because I'm Ian Brown's wife.

but i came close yesterday when i spotted a girl smiling at my belle and sebastian t shirt

it just got really lame as day after day went by with no progression

cos it's not something i do anyway, apart from the one occasion years and years ago. but i really don't think it's that weird. all a person has to say is 'no thanks'. it beats being approached by chuggers

she was gorgeous as well

Thats what I wouldve done.

covered in blood

Not blood, you gullible fool!

Just that it went well. Very well.

Cheers.

because if I jumped off high buildings, I would die.

You exhanged glances over your shoulders? You didn't tell us this. Seriously, that means she thinks you're cute.

are you a desperate loser?

It wasn't meant to be.

You'll soon find out if you're in. I find a scatter-gun approach is the best.

I was wearing my Mastodon t-shirt with Rasputin on it the other day. I walked by a bunch of people and I heard one woman say "That t-shirts disturbing isn't it?" I past a couple of girls and one of them said "Is that Jesus? He's looking into my soul". \m/

What do you think gabrielle?

and I use DIS I think this puts me dangerously close to loserville. However I wouldnt say im desperate

instead slipped on the kerb and went straight into a lamp post, fucking useless. On the other hand my wonderous beauty has led to a girl reversing her car into the one behind while trying to talk to me which was endearing in a scary life threatening way...

i have been asked out on the street but ive never said yes!

why do i attract freaks!? (dont answer that)

she was looking in an obvious 'hes cute' way :S

the guy who plays the orange and banana.

Every time I saw the screen out of the corner of my eye I saw a post that said 'Kill everyone.' Anyone remember that x-files where all electrical equipment with LCD screens started telling people to go on killing sprees for some reason? A couple more 'kill everyone' posts and I may have tried to take my boss down using only a hole punch.

Maybe you really do have problems!

I swear I did!

If I do try and kill everybody I'll be sure to tell the police DiS made me do it.

but i need to metal-up my t shirt range

I got asked out by a girl who was waving at friends behind me and i waved back, she thought it was endearing and stuff while i was just embarrassed, but she came over and asked me out, guess there has to be some sort of pre-amble, dont think you'ed just tap someone on the shoulder and ask for a number.

didnt last, she was a bit crazy. like one of those hyper confident, seemingly omnipresent people.

it's romantic. But so is dressing up in suit, even if it is for a court date.

A friend of mine got much the same reaction from his Cradle of filth tshirts when he was a teen.

note: he hated CoF, just liked offensive tshirts.

if we start posting this in every thread on here, how many latent psychopaths do you think we can push over the edge?

But the only time this happened to me was when I was 16 and a man asked me to go for a drink with him and I told him i was underage and he was like "oh that's ok, I'll get you in..." eh?

been together 2 years they have now.

Granted he's only done it to japanese or japanese looking girls..

but it always worked

story of your life?

maybe it's just our culture, we're programmed to be all miserable unless we're drinking,and anyone who has the nerve to try and instigate a conversation on an average day is a weirdo or a potential stalker. it's sad that

when they come here

I've a friend who does this too... they're really enthusiastic to befriend you, apparently...

Don't go asking girls out on the street.

Should've at least asked her for the time / directions / whatever, just to ger her talking, and then said something nice about her shoes/hair. Then you hand her one of the cards with your phone number on that you always carry in your pocket and swagger away.

So if I seen them on the street I could ask them out and come home and post about it and then they'd reply and it would be MAGICAL.

it was odd but flattering and he was cute. i dont see why it shouldn't be attempted (after all, maybe some things are fated!) so long as you are polite and know to back off if she or he doesn't want to be talked to, no-one likes to be pestered, especially in a 'romantic' way.

i hope you see her again and are braver the next time ^-^

it took place in the somerfield car park.
He said he'd like to take me to see Jet with him and asked for my number.
He was 26 years old.
I was 17 years old.
Needless to say, I declined.

1) You see attractive person approaching
2) About 10 metres away, drop a wallet or piece of clothing or whatever (maybe use a fake wallet in case they do actually steal it)
3) Attractive person shouts "HEY!" and picks your wallet up
4) You walk smoothly over, take the wallet, say thank you and start a conversation
5) If this does not work (unlikely), just hide in a bush until they are out of sight and then run back to pick your wallet up yourself.

You cannot lose.

I feel left out. Oh, you two go off together, WHYDON'TYOU?

IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS!

just going on looks alone. could maybe work with a couple of BUTTON BADGES
ooh she's got a 'THIS BITCH BITES' badge and a 'this is not a badge' badge even though it very clearly IS in fact a badge
feisty and a RIGHT laugh!

I promised myself I'd stay away from art girls, nowt but heartache! But damn I love them so... This thread has well and truly warmed my cockles - I'm not the only freak out there! Now what about asking out someone on the number 1?

im a web dev coder anti suit kinda guy

I need to be less shy

Infront of me was the hottest guy in the world, well he was alright, nice shaved head, nice tattoos, nice dress sence & funcky manbag & definately noticed me. (probably because i was sliding behind him like a slug groaning) But anyway....

I was dying to ask him out after seeing this. He even smelt nice, but no i just stood there and we looked at eachother a few times.

I think he was 'the one'

we should have a day were its politically correct to just ask out hot strangers.

we should make everyone ask out someone out to see what kind of response we get. It could well be a great idea. and a good opening line

''See, im on this forum right, and we have all dared eachother to go out and ask someone in the 'real world' on a date. How about it? Dinner?''

yeah i think we should! get everyone to have an 'ask a random out day'

''see, im on this forum yeah, and we have all dared eachother yeah, to like ask out a person from the 'real world' Dinner?''

no dis date loop holes. I dont think id open with 'im on this forum' though. maybe 'me and my friend' would be better ;)

you're constantly SCOUTING FUR GURLZ?

i got stopped on the way home from work on wednesday a freind of a lassie who "think im fit"

i gave her my number

but there have been occasions where i have really really wanted to and probably could have got a number or something where they've smiled and i've smiled back or vice versa as we pass each other on the street.

i think i'm a confident guy but it takes some balls to stop someone in the street and ask them out within probably a few seconds of seeing them.

i would probably go with "you can tell me to get lost if you want but in the few seconds i've known you i think you're great, do you want to go for drink or something sometime?" if yes, check when she's free, get number, score.

i think this would be one thing i'd like to do before i die.

Did it on the tube to a girl I'd seen on my morning commute a few times. Six months later and we're still going strong.

underrated post

I've promised myself that if I ever see a certain stranger again that I'll go for it, got it practised in my head but I'll still probably bottle it.

^saying that is vommerific. but ac-u-rat.

i hope i can find a girl as nice as you some day.
