First of all, time is running out, I'm leaving this STATE and possibly never returning here.. maybe for a short visit.

I came to this state to visit my dad and see how he is doing. I've been here a month and now I'm leaving.

Anyways, I usually go to the nearest university library to use the computer to do some online summer work, check email, forums, pass the time, etc. since I stopped working.


There's this girl that I've been noticing who I find pretty good looking.. . We met eyes numerous times but I get anxious around females and can't start a conversation in a setting like this. I was going to talk to her the very first time I saw her but didn't have the balls. To tell you the truth, I don't EVER recall "hitting" on a girl in my life lol. Maybe if it was somewhere social like at someone's place where we all gather and drink,, but not at a place like the library even though I'm told this is the best place to meet girls.

Anyway, for some reason, I was being nosy and saw that she goes on a internet romance site things.. where men and women meet each other over the internet. I was curious to see what site she goes to.. and checked the URL after she left.
Alright so I found the site.. and finally found her profile after registering and all that crap. I'm pretty sure it's her... and it says she's 21:Q. She looks like she's about 19.... I'm turning 20 pretty soon so I can just tell her I'm 20.

now the problem is, I was going to send her a message on the site but it requires a freaking credit card info and pay 30 bucks for a month. I don't think I'm gonna go through with it.... because I don't want to pay 30 bucks just to send her one message.

All I really wanted to do is finally show interest in a girl and talk to her. I was initially going have her call me or I call her and then we meet up.

I know I'm leaving this state in 4 days.. so I should just talk to her in person because I'll never probably see her... but if I talk to her on the phone first by meeting on the internet... there's a better chance.

what to do.

She's going to find it REALLY creepy if you go out of your way to contact her online instead of face to face since that would be easier in this situation.

Grow some balls and approach her.

Remember, you only get one chance. So what if it fails? You will have grown some balls and learned a lesson.

If it goes well, then good for you.

Go up to her, say "hi". Say your name and that you've seen her here a few times. Engage in small talk if you can, then ask if she wants to grab lunch/coffee/dinner sometime. Coffee or lunch are betters bets for the first date, espeically if you've never talked to her b/c they are usually more casual and shorter (in case things go bad) than the dinner dates. And don't tell her you saw here computer stuff and the online dating thing, she'll probably think you're a stalker.

Walk over and talk to her, there is no point in signing up for a pay site to talk to her. You're gonna have to talk to her face to face eventually if you hope to start up a real friendship so you might as well do it while saving yourself the mon ey.

Actually, I think it could be pretty cool. Do the whole online thing, get her IM name, start IMing, when she asks you where you are tell her "Sitting right across from you baby". It should be funny. Make sure to post vid of when she slaps you in the face and storms out.

Walk over and introduce yourself. You'll regret it if you don't. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

And don't send her a message, she'll put two and two together and figure out you were checking her history. That's creepy.

Just say, "Hi, I couldn't help but notice you, and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is lame-o."

I'm still young, I'll learn eventually, give me a break!!

If you're 20, that means you've fallen about 5 years behind most people your age.

Just say hi to her. The outcome won't matter much since you're leaving in 4 days.

definitely easier said than done
we'll see what happens, I see her from time to time.. hopefully I'll see her again in the next couple days at the same place.


but when i go back home, I should consider getting some medication from the psychiatrist or something, I guess I'm not normal.
