  • NFB: Girl advice

    OK, I'll give the scenario and then ask what's on my mind...

    I went to high school with this girl - I knew who she was, and we had some of the same friends, so she knew who I was, but we never talked or hung out or anything like that back then. A couple weeks ago, I met up with a group of friends that included her and we all headed to the bar together. I talked to her a little bit, ad she was pretty flirtatious, but that's just the way she is so I didn't think anything of it.

    This past Friday, I was at the bar with two of my buddies again, when she came in with one of my buddies (they are just friends). Well, I didn't intend to, but I ended up sitting next to her, and talking to her for pretty much the whole night. She seems pretty cool, and she is DEFINITELY smoking hot. Well, we exchange phone numbers (her idea ) and continue to talk away. (By the way, is it a good sign if she makes you taste her lip gloss and then informs you that she has body lotion that tastes just like it? ) lol, anyway, nothing much more insued that night.

    Last night, I ran into her at a different bar, but I didn't talk to her much. Just a hello hug. She called me a butthead for not coming over to say hi right away -- but I was too mezmerized by Northwestern beating Ohio State! hahaha, anyway, I stayed away from her most of the night, just didn't want to come on too strong.

    So that is an update of the scenario, now here is my question...

    This weekend is Homecoming at Hope College. My fraternity always throws a party Friday night and then has a nice dinner/dance formal Saturday. Most alumni do not bring dates unless it is their girlfriend/fiance/wife. The actives of course do. But what happens is it always turns into a catch-up-on-old-times-with-the-boys kinda night. 30 year old family men come back in to town and try to pack 4 years of their college experience in one night. Last year, an alumnus found a lawnmower in the shed and rode it through the house. Power lines were downed, and needless to say, all things glass were broken. It always creates an awkward situation when someone brings a date that doesn't know anyone because then they spend all night entertaining and introducing them, and the girl knows that the guy wants to hang out with his friends... it's usually noticeably awkward. Add to the fact that there really is no place for us to stay there, we will end up crashing on someone's couch or futon, and we have to do this for 2 nights. It probably wouldn't lend itself to anything beyond snuggling since it isn't going to be a very intimate setting, so I am not terribly worried about that being awkward.

    I definitely want to take this girl out, but I don't think this would be a very good "first date" so to speak... there will be other opportunities to call her up and take her out, but I know that girls usually eat the formal dance thing up... so it's a tough call. What do you all say?

    First, dont blow her off completely again. I would had given her more attention, even if that meant just sitting by her or inviting her to sit by you while watching the game.

    Second. Take her out on a decent date before taking her to your frat parties.
    Treat her like a lady, but dont spend too much and be a bit aggressive with your thoughts. See if she reciprocates those thoughts. Dont go and jam your tongue down her throat the first night. A polite kiss is best.

    Go out with friends, and just the two of you. Mix it up a bit, but in the beginning you might want to spend more time 1 on 1 so you can get a good idea of how she feels about you.


    The golden rule:
    Pay very close attention to how she treats and feels about YOU. If she doesnt go out of her way for you and make you feel like a million bucks, forget about her. You'll find better.

      Tracy, I can't take her out this week becasue I am on the late shift at work. Unfortunately that means noon to 10 PM, so I really won't have an opportunity. That means this weekend would be the first time I would be able to take her out.

      However, I just spoke to some of my buddies who I graduated with, and it turns out they are all bringing dates, so that settles it. I am asking her. I'll keep you all updated.

            I would suggest that you take her to the party, but depending on how comfortable she feels there, you might want to cut the night with the boys a little short. Dont ask her if she wants to go, or stay though. Body language is key! If she seems to be having fun enough to want to stay, then extend the visit a little longer. Either way, you should try and take her away from the crowd for whatever reason, just so that both of you have some time to get to know eachother on a personal level. Also, don't forget the standard stuff; call, be on time, give a subtle compliment, open the door to your car for her (I'm assuming this will be the Cavalier Door ), look/smell good and dont allow those awkward silent moments when you have nothing to say . You'd be surprised how girls react to this kind of treatment, guys just dont open doors anymore! If you dont mind me asking, what are you looking for in this girl? Something tells me youre not the first one whose lipgloss she's had taste. Plus the fact that you've run into her twice at a bar already, gives me the impresion that she is not the kind of girl that makes for a good and trusting relationship. But I guess you'll find that out soon enough I can just picture Jay in an awkward moment trying to think back to what the F-Body.com folks gave for advice

            Most Importantly! Dont take advice from Tracy! Our times are a whole lot different then what they use to be back when Mrs. Tracy was getting swept off her feet! J/K Trace!

              That isn't really fair to say. That's like saying that Jay isn't the kind of guy for a good and trusting relationship because SHE's run into HIM 2 times at a bar. Maybe she's lonely? Just because she hangs out with a group of people doesn't mean she's not lonely. (BTW- i'm not flaming you or jumping down your throat so don't take any of this the wrong way). Whatever happens Jay, keep us posted. Good luck man.

                Depending on how old the two of them are can say a lot. Meaning if they are college age, which I'm pretty sure Jay is, then being at the bar a lot has nothing to do with being lonely, a drunk, or a party girl. It isn't uncommon to be hitting the bar 3 to 4 times a week if not more. What I am saying is that being at the bar at this age has nothing to do with anything. BTW- Make sure she gets a ride in the tranny, we all know this always works.

                  Going to the bar suggests character flaws? Uh-oh, lol...

                  Without a girlfriend, it's not like I have anything else to do on Friday/Saturday nights, so I guess I am a bar junkie too. mmmmmmmm... Blue Moon....

                  Anyway, I called her today but she didn't answer. I had a hockey game earlier tonight (we won 7-1 and I got a goal), and she had called me back while I was playing, so at least she's returning my calls . I'll get a hold of her tomorrow and see if she's up for going. Hopefully she doesn't work Saturday.

                  What am I looking for in her? Well, we just seemed to hit it off really well. She seems very nice, and definitely a lot of fun. We talked for several hours and there was never a "uhh... what do I say now?" kinda moment. Not only that, but she saw me and came and sat next to me, she brought up exchanging phone numbers, etc... little things that might not mean anything, but it is kinda nice to actually think that she might have had an interest in me first. Then again, she might just be a flirt. I've dealt with so many of those though, that it wouldn't even bother me if this is how it turned out. We'll see... I hope she can go, I am pretty excited about it now.

                      If you are of college age then don't act to interested in her at the party. I'm not saying don't act like a gentleman always hold door, pay for the meal etc. I am saying though that girls love to play their stupid little mind games and if you go and are clingy to her then she's gonna play hard to get..they love a challenge. Have some fun with the guys and catch up SOME just don't ignore her try to get her in your conversations. Girls seem to love a guy that is a guys guy and a bunch of friends but has time for them too.

                        That's exactly why I didn't pay her all that much attention the second night at the bar... Tracy said that's nuts, but I think that was probably a good thing

                            I've been through this before with you guys... cars tend to be a turn OFF for most girls I know. It's only a turn on to a very select few.
