I Find It Kind of Funny, I Find It Kind of Sad

[arcane]

... the dreams in which I'm dying, are the best I've ever had.

Question: When you walk a girl to her car out of your way, and she smiles at you and thanks you for it and then remains smiling looking as if she's trying to find something to say, is that a good sign?

Then why the hell did I not ask her out for a drink?

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Take that chance - and take it today.

Oh, trust me I'm going to. I don't know what came over me. It was like, it was happening and I think all I could think of was, "What the hell is going on? Is this girl actually into me?" And then the moment was over. As I was walking back to my car it hit me like an iron over the head the chance I had and missed! Tomorrow (or today, to be technical) I will ask her for that drink.

Truth be told: when I saw you two walking out, and then got home to no car, I hoped that it had.

Yeah, instead I spent the time running cardio at the fitness center. Now which would have been more enjoyable....

Dude.

Just... dude.

Even I would have seen that opportunity, and I'm totally blind to women.

I guarantee you that when perch-and-creep sees this, she's going to say something about how you totally missed an opportunity. Fortunately, it sounds like you didn't blow it so much as you passed it by. It'll come back around, if she's really into you.

He's in a haze.... it's all a haze and he just needs to wake up.

Good looking man! You're a good looking man arcane! Stop selling yourself short! The worst thing is she says no, the best thing is she says yes, if she does anything really weird then it's better to find out now rather than when you're having your back measured for a knife..... that's all overly dramatic stuff now.

Oh and talmanes you suck for knowing me too well.

Re:

[arcane]

I don't think I'm worried about rejection or any of that -- Lord knows I've experienced enough of that to be jaded to it -- but it was like, the opportunity came up and for a second I was thinking to myself, "What the hell is this? Me dumb. Me don't know what to do." And then it was gone.

Re:

[perch_and_creep]

You're just out of practice. Your brain will catch up next time.

[lucky_mcgee]

There's always tomorrow, to tell her, "Last night, I really wanted to ask you out for a drink..."

"what if?" are the most useless words used together in the English language. I think we should try to live life without ever having to ask them. ;o)

Re:

[arcane]

I plan on it, definitely.

[lameaim]

Okay.... sure it was less than brilliant. We've all had those moments. My personal best was when this girl made out with me and I decided to ask her out... five months later when she lost all semblance of interest.

Still kicking myself on that one. But only because I don't get that many opportunities.

Anyway. You know what you need to do. Is this your costar, perhaps? She's cute.
hate to be a music snob, but its "the dreams in which I'm dying...."

Thank you, sir! The lyrics have been edited for musical snobbery. ;)

Re:

[lameaim]

Hey, no problem. But you didn't answer my question.... :)

[perch_and_creep]

You seem to live in this "I don't have a girlfriend/date because (insert reason)" cloud man, and you have no reason. You're an attractive man, if you have the opportunity again, another walk, or you feel up to it, ask her for that drink.

Better to try with someone that you like, then not and regret it.

*nudges*

Go, frolic, drink, enjoy!

Re:

[arcane]

Well, I mostly half-tease myself with those reasons. Self deprecating humor and all. Truth be told, I'm really picky about women I date and that more than anything is the reason why I'm still single.

Re:

[perch_and_creep]

Yeah I figured. I've known lots of guys who are selectively single. They are single because they are extremely choosy...which is just what you wrote.

Being self deprecating is a good trait, just wake your brain up faster next time.....
