I've hung out with Sharon van Etten. She said I was "the coolest." True story. Then the next time I saw her live, she recognized me and gave me a big hug. Want me to hook you up, NoD?
^ K, have I told you lately how much I love that Ghandi quote in your sig? That is a beautiful line of poetic wisdom, my friend! I just caught a warm, fuzzy feeling from reading it.

Thanks, Hollie One of my favorites, and something I try to remind myself of fairly frequently.

The world needs more guys like YOU who think like that. You are wise beyond your years, my friend.
She was a bit shy. It was apparently her first time dating a foreigner. Her English isn't as good as I remember from two fridays ago (it's been awhile since I last saw her I guess), but it didn't prove to be too difficult. She's also a lot prettier than I remember (ok I admit I had a few when I first met her).
What's also cool is that she went to college at the same women's university that my subway stop is off of. She knows my neighborhood better than me.
We're seeing each other again on Sunday. She's taking me to a place where I can get actual fries. Double win.
For me, crushes (on real people in your life who actually know who you are) have expiration dates. It either needs to come to fruition, or it's time to move on. It looks like mine is about to turn.
Back at brunch, I gave NoD a tidbit of advice: get some practice with some females you're not necessarily interested in, to better have your wits about you with the females in which you are interested.
My friend overheard this bit of conversation and chided me over having had to give me the same advice about a decade ago when I was his current age and in a not-dissimilar situation.
Anyway, NoD, just checking in to see if you've made any progress in this department... I know you completely ignored my offer to make some no-risk moves on me at the brunch. The offer still stands for next year, btw.
haha that's b/c if you started with that it WOULD be weird.
just point something out, depending on where you are or what's going on: hey i love this band, i haven't seen them in this venue yet...have you?/guess you guys are busy today huh? people must really need their turkey sandwiches to last till friday./oh you're going to see the watch? i heard ben stiller kills vince vaughn at the end for being so annoying.
i mean, i'm not you so we obviously talk different. be observant. girls just enjoy it when it seems like you actually care about what they are doing/what they think/what they like etc.
I guess I just don't see how it wouldn't be weird to go up to someone I don't know or my friends don't know and just be like "hey my name is..."
It's really not that weird in my experiences. Yeah it seems kind of odd or random, but if a girl wants to talk to you she'll go along with the "Hi my name is _____." The worst thing that will happen is she'll shut you down right away, or just give you a weird stare, in which turn you say "Sorry for bothering you." or just walk away. Even if she's not interested, she can only respect you for having the balls to say hi, and she'll be flattered that you took an interest to begin with. Girls like being noticed.
^that is very true, if the girl is rude to you then she wasn't worth your time in the first place.
in scenarios where i'm nervous about talking to someone new, i always try to make it as casual in my mind as possible and if i think about random convos in grocery store or the book store, it rarely ever starts off as "hi my name is". its usually some random ass comment i think that person will have some connection with. haha.
That's why you practice on people you don't have such a stake in! It's just a skill to be honed. The more you do it, the less weird it will be.
I don't know about NoD, but for me there is a massive difference between talking to a girl where there's a 0% chance of anything happening beyond friendship--whether it's lack of physical attraction, she's cute but has a boyfriend, etc.--and talking to a girl where something might happen. Like I could be introduced to an attractive girl as "Hey Glenn this is my friend and she has a boyfriend" and I'd be able to hold a conversation fine, but if a minute in she says "Just kidding I don't have a boyfriend" I'd start overthinking about what I should say rather than just having a free flowing conversation. I think it's a subconscious thing.

Always remember that, even if you talking to the girl has a 1% of you getting a date/number/etc., not talking to the girl carries a 0% chance of getting a date/number/etc. Even English majors should know 1%>0%.
