Ever have that "Clueless" epiphany?? Hey... *I* like so-and-so!!

[zod]

Ok, first admit that you've seen Clueless.
Good.

Remember that scene in which Alicia Silverstone is by the fountain and realizes "I like Josh!" and finally realizes she likes that dude?

Well. Its happened to me. Again. Not that I like a dude.

First time it really hit me was like 5 years ago, with the only girl I've ever loved... i think.

And now again, with this girl at work.

At first, I recognized that she was really pretty (and taller than me), and amazingly funny, and not stuck-up (amazing, since she is an aspiring actress). After I found out that she was a couple of years older than me, I was going to try to fix her up with one of my roomates... until I found out she had a boyfriend.

Because of that, I didn't try to impress her, or think to myself "Don't be an idiot or she won't like you!"
I was just friendly with her. And she's cool. After temping a bit in my department she got moved to another department, so she isn't in our room anymore.

But she has come by the last two days to say hi or kill time. And she usually plops herself down next to me.
I didnt think much of it, cuz well, she has a bf and I wasn't *trying* for her. But then tonite, this other temp guy says, while some guys and i were eating dinner at work, "that girl who comes in here likes *Zod*"

I was like, pashah, whatever not true. Then the EPIPHANY came. SH!T! That would be AWESOME!! SHE IS AWESOME!

And her boyfriend is leaving for LA on December 28th for *months*.

And I was smiling the whole subway ride home just *thinking* about her.
ARG!

I've seen Clueless too! I love that movie.

That sounds like a wonderful potential GF you got there. You're right on... the best way to attract a girl (well the cool non-golddigger types at least) is to befriend her and act comfortably around her, i.e. be yourself. And that's just what you did, so w00t w00t!

Ok she is awesome, but what's the deal with her BF?!? Is she unhappy with him? How does she feel about his leaving for *months*? Are ya gonna express your feelings to her? I say if she has a less-than-solid relationship with her current bf, then make your move.

 

[zod]

Well. I do need to ask her tomorrow if she is going to try to do a long distance thing with him. I doubt it, they'll be on opposite coasts. I do think that she likes this guy a lot though, so that only complicates things.

See? There I go, smiling alone at my monitor again just thinking about her.

As I just emailed to a friend, my life as a movie allusion

 

[TuffGirl]

Ok so she likes this guy a lot, but from what you wrote she seems to like you a lot too and you have a nice rapport going already.

So did you talk to her? *UPDATE* please!

 

[DuffmanOhYeah]

You're all fruits............no wait, QUEER, QUEER, that's what you like to be called right?

Hehe Duffman, if by QUEER you mean liking guys and girly things, then yeah I guess you can call me that.


~EDIT~

Oh Yeah... you hafta be male to be queer too, oops.

 

[allan120]

Sucks to be the boyfriend, but if she wants you and you want her then have a good time.

 

[Arschloch]

I've never seen Clueless before.

I guess the rest of this message cannot apply to me.

woot, congrats zod? Clueless was a pretty good movie...however I've only been dumb enough to have that kind of epiphany back in high school when I wasn't actively on female-alert.

I'm with klee on this one, make your move while you can - multiple months are a long time for a girl in the big city to be all alone.

Update is ---

She went home for the holidays!! I'm dying over here!!

Come back actress girl!

I'll be really honest with you guys (and gals), too...
First off, when I learned she had a bf, I took her off my "options" menu.
Also, because I am a shallow bastard, I am typically not initially attracted to black girls.
Yes, I am a racist pig (though the girl 5 years ago was Indian, so I can't be too racist )

She's black and it so incredibly doesn't matter.

But I also don't want to talk to her on December 29th and be all like "soooo your bf just left for LA, maybe forever, so whaddya say you and I. . ."

That'd be lame. But I also don't want to be stuck in the "friend zone" forever.
Though if that's all that happens, that we become friends rather than work acquaintances, I could live with that (but won't be as happy!). She's that cool.

--The Queer (apparently)

and DuffmanOhYeah-
I'm secure in my masculinity. T2 and Predator are great movies, but so are Braveheart, the Princess Bride, and Babe (yes, the pig movie).
