[DarK SagE]

Well it's not really blind i have seen pictures of her and talked to her on the phone. Same goes for her.

Anyway, advice would be apreciated.

What can we say ???
Be yourself...

 

[DarK SagE]

Bah, thats the responce i hate

 

[StageLeft]

Boring response, but its true, what do you want us to say?

 

[DarK SagE]

I dunno maybe some special magic trick that no one knows about that will make her wuuvvv me?

Yah i know it's unrealistic...

Besides the usual advice to impress her(i.e., shower, comb hair, brush teeth, clean nails) I would suggest picking out a nice fragrance to wear. Honestly, men who smell good turn girls on like you would not believe. And corny though this may sound, maybe offering her a single flower(half-open rose bud would do the trick) might add the crowning touch. Some women might deny it, but flowers really impress us.
Above all relax and enjoy yourself. Have fun!

You gotta dress to impress. Trust me on that..

 

[Yeeny]

Nah, don't bring her flowers, bring her a new computer! At least that would be the way to my heart. Kidding of course. Elita is right, a small rose would be very sweet. And cologne on a man, now that's always nice. Also, you should plan something relaxed, since it's the first time your going to meet face to face. Pick somewhere that you can be relaxed and talk freely. A man who listens to what we have to say is always good. And most of all, I know you don't want to hear it, but be yourself. If she likes you so far, chances are she will like you in person too. Good luck!

- Buy a ferrari,
- Buy a rolex,
- Tell her she's very lucky because you cancelled 2 other dates to spend the evening with her,
- Be very arrogant,
- Go to the most expensive restaurant, even if it is not the best.

She'll be mad about you...

I met my first husband on a blind date.

Before he even got to my house, his car overheated and I had to walk half a mile with some water for his radiator to get his car started again. Things did NOT bode well.... but.... well, I was 16 and he was 19, so maybe that had something to do with it, too.

Hee hee, I wonder if he remembers that.

Anyway, my point is, if there is 'chemistry', nothing else will really matter.

I have a questions for all the ladies. There's this one girl that I have big crush on for the longest time. She used to turn me down when I ask for here phone # but now all of a certain she ask me to give her a hug and all. Does that mean that I might have a chance or does a hug not mean anything?

 

[pen^2]

make her laugh! great way to get relaxed... at least something i was never able to pull off.. bah

 

[Elita1]

Depends on the context and the situation, Paldo. She may have just needed a hug. One thing I know for certain; we girls are always flattered when a guy has a crush on us. Maybe you could elaborate a little more?
On the positive side, she seems to want your friendship. And that is always the best start.

Thanks Elita.. Can a girl tell when a guy have a crush on them? Is how a guy dress important to you? Cuz she always compliment on how I dress. I'm gonna spend $600 on a Movado watch for her this Christmas. I hope that'll get me closer to her.

 

[Elita1]

Yes, we do care how guys dress. Not so much if it's whether you look hip or not but more importantly finding a style that suits who you are. The mere fact that she complimented your clothing means she has noticed you. Have you guys been friends for long?
If not, then I would reconsider getting her a $600 watch. You want to let her know that you appreciate her, that you are in tune to her likes and dislikes and that you gave a lot of thought to her gift, but you don't want to look over-eager and desperate.

<< She used to turn me down when I ask for here phone # but now all of a certain she ask me to give her a hug and all. Does that mean that I might have a chance or does a hug not mean anything? >>

Try asking her for her number or out on a date now, and you'll find out for yourself.

Spending $600 on someone when you don't even know their phone #? Now, does that sound like a good plan?

DarK SagE, if you're a fair conversationalist, just take her somewhere with a nice but casual atmosphere for dinner and drinks (I don't know how old you are).

If you're not particularly good at making small talk, take her somewhere that you can interact, but also be occupied with something else for part of the time...arcade, zoo, movie (not usually the best though), bike ride in the park, etc.

Just make her feel comfortable with you so that she'll want to do it again.


.paldo, forget the $600 watch. Giving a girl an expensive gift like that is just a good way to find out if she likes expensive things, not whether or not she likes you! I have never seen a relationship work out where the guy starts out by giving expensive gifts. If that's what she's looking to you for, she's not the one for you.

Take her window shopping sometime and remember something that she seemed to really like, but that's not that expensive. See if she appreciates the thoughtfulness of it, not the price tag, and you may be a winner.

A $600 watch? You have got be kidding me. I got a nice watch for a girl that I knew VERY well when I went and saw her for the first time. This is a girl that I'd discussed marriage with. And the watch I got was only ~$120.

But $600? That's just nuts, unless you're making like $50,000 a year.
