Explain THIS TO ME

[Guest rawmvp]

Wow, you're one pessimistic girl, Texas Small Arms. We, the SMARTMARK COMMUNITY must band together and encourage one another in our fight to live happy lives, not put each other down.

 

Anyway, I'm approaching this like I've already failed, so there will be no heartache if it doesn't work out. Any success will just be regarded as a cherry on top, if you will.

Band together is one thing, but you are thinking that everything this chick does means she wants you. From a girl's view, waiving a leaf in a guy's face, or asking about homework does NOT mean we want you. I really think you are taking all of this and turning it into what you really want and you aren't looking at it very clearly.

[Guest rawmvp]

I mentioned the waving of the leaf to gauge whether or not it means anything. I never implied that waving the leaf meant she liked me. You say that it means nothing, and I believe you.

[TSA09 0]

But the whole homework thing too. That means nothing, this girl still finds you strictly a friend. Face it you are in The Friend's Zone.

[Guest rawmvp]

Friends's Zone aka Purgatory aka Perdition aka the Pits of Fiery Hell aka Dead End aka Quick Sand aka I'm Shit of of Luck.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I'll TRY to change that.

 

I hear girls like spontaneity. I thought I'd walk up to her, and out of the blue, give her a passionate kiss on the lips. That way, I'll know for sure. If I get the feeling that she's uncomfortable, I'll quickly pull away and apologize, but if she goes with the flow, I'll be the KING OF THE WORLD, for that moment. What do you think?

 

I don't think I've mentioned this, but she fits the Russian stereotype perfectly. She's a shy, submissive girl who is attracted to assertive men. Maybe she's been waiting for me to make a move the entire time. Who knows... but like TSM said, I'm probably stuck in the dreaded Friend Zone.

OR......you could ask her if she wants to "hang out" or something. Don't say "date" cause then it sounds all official and dorky. Go for pizza, hang out at the student union, go bowling or just do anything even if its with her friends or your's. Don't buy her flowers, don't buy her anything even. Just go out and have fun. Make it seem like YOU = FUN and let things work themselves out from there. Get away from homework, nature walks and leafs and see if she actually enjoys being around you! I've found that every girl I've ever been infatiuated with, was actually a total bore once I got to know them or even just chatted with them for a few hours. You may discover the same thing once you start doing something with her other than leering.

 

And let's just pretend that this girl is using the worst subtle techniques ever and "leaf does in fact = I want your hot body," then you should capitalize on it. When the fish tugs the line, you reel it in. But that'll never happen unless you actually put some bait on your hook. Get out there and spend some time with her and HAVE FUN. Let your personality (if you have one) shine and make it seem like you're the funnest thing since sliced bread.

Thank You, Olympic Slam.

 

You gave me really meaningful advice.

 

I appreciate it.

 

Yeah, now that two of their male friends have dropped the class, it's just me and the two Russian girls. On Wednesday, we have another boring excursion, so I assume we'll hang out some more. Since I'm taking my digital camera with me, I'll try to snap a picture of one or the both of them, too.

 

Overall, I'm a really energetic, fun guy to be around with; however, because I only slept 45 min. last night, I'm afraid I may have been a little too mellow and subdued this morning. I hope they didn't construe me as a boring guy.

[Guest SP-1]

Why not . . . just be yourself? And chill out. And enjoy the friendships around you until something blossoms.

I think the dude wants to get laid. Not have another friend.

[Guest rawmvp]

Update: I realize this is bordering on absurdity, but today she did two contradictory things. Upon entering the classroom, she knowingly decided to sit two rows behind me as opposed to the usual one row. Now, I know this is a red flag -- not only she is she disinterested but she's trying to sequester herself from me. But......as I started talking to her, she moved back to her regular seat and mentioned my name. Yeah, I know, that must mean that she wants me BAD with extra whipped cream and fudge on top, but this was the FIRST time EVER she uttered my name. Weird, eh?

[Art Sandusky 0]

Did you ever consider she might have been saying something negative about you?

[Guest rawmvp]

Nobody was sitting next to her.

Then she's INSANE. You don't mention things to YOURSELF.

Way to go, champ! She's almost yours!

I thought he said she always mentioned your name when talking to others?

 

Or perhaps I've read too much of this. I thought I was immature, but you seem to behave like you're twelve. I mean really, that's just the way you come off as. As long as that 'A' in Berkeley is working out for you though, in ADVANCED English, than I'm sure you have no worries my friend....

I dub this poster Son Of OJ Hart.

More like bastard love child of OJ Hart

I dub this thread the first (?) classic LSD thread.

 

Or was the OJ Hart thread in LSD or just the old GC?

[Guest BDC]

Was this illegitimate offspring of OJ born in a hot tub?

[Guest rawmvp]

Well, it's just down to her now. Her Russian friend dropped the class today. She started with three friends whom she hung out with in class, and now those friends are gone. Now it's just she and I. I have her all to myself and I'm gonna make the best of it.

 

Today, we had another field trip. Unlike previous encounters, she'd come up to me while I took notes out in the field and would try to rub shoulders with me or blatantly tilt her body in my direction or try to touch me in subtle ways. I was looking to see if she would take advantage of me; i.e. ask for the notes or ask too many questions but she didn't. Otherwise, I'd think she was using my attraction for her against me, which thankfully didn't turn out to be the case.

 

Wish me luck.

Maybe she does have a thing for you. I can't think of much else that would cause a group of four to be whittled down to three.

 

"You like THAT guy? Okay, we're gone."

[Guest rawmvp]

I think you meant to say a group of four whittled down to one. It's amazing when I think about it; maybe there are astrological forces out there that want us to get together. Sometimes you'll encounter phenomena that can't be explained nor compared to past precedents.

What are your signs? My mom's a gypsy, I know all about this shit.

[Guest rawmvp]

I'm a Sagittarius.

[dutchse.cx 0]

That's a start. Now there's only 12 combinations instead of 144.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

You're a fire sign. This means that not only are you deeply impulsive, but also very intuitive. You seem to get by on just "feeling it," and acting accordingly. Your temper may be infamous, and only rivaled by your wanderlust.

[dutchse.cx 0]

I'm a Sagittarius and that's me to a T. I drive people crazy with pacing and then I get pissed at them for asking me why I do it.

[Hoff 0]

Hey AGent, I'm a Capricorn -- what's my deal?

[Guest rawmvp]

Holy Fucking Shit. All of those characteristics describe me perfectly.

 

I am unbelievably hot tempered. I've punched my desk and bashed the door numerous times.

 

I pace all the time, especially when I study.

 

I am extremely analytical and intuitive.

 

Sometimes I do things and wonder why I did them.

 

I'll literally stop what I'm doing and blatantly stare at a hot chick.

 

Damn.

 

 

BTW, here are other things I have in common with the girl:

 

1) On the day I inquired about her Russian heritage, a solicitor called out to me, "Hey Russian man, come over me." This happened immediately after class and was the first time anyone ever thought I was Russian.

 

2) On the first day of school, she willingly sat next to me.

 

3) Our Bio I.D. numbers -- numbers that indicate our latest exam grades and ensure confidentiality -- are next to each other even though they don't follow in numerical order (16 and 18)

 

4) The only brands of cereal she would ever eat in the Ukraine were Cheerios and Kix; Cheerios and Kix were the only brands I had in my pantry as a child.

 

5) Same blood type ( O negative)

 

6) Both have one younger brother and no other siblings

 

7) One evening, while thinking about her in my bed, I looked out my window just in time to see a bright shooting star.

 

8) We're both shy and don't open up unless we're comfortable with our surroundings.

 

9) And again, her entire clique dropped out, leaving just she and I.

 

So, what does it all mean?
