Did you read my post yet ?
We don't know if she is intrested in you for sure or if she is just running on her basic instincts (flirting with random guys).
So far things sound good , try the cupcakes line and see if her color changes or if a snake comes out of her left ear then you will know :p

Wow, sounds good. First constructive advice I've ever seen in a YAGT.
Yeah, that's definitely a good line:)

Agreed.

:thumbsup:

FTW, one of the best situational lines I've ever heard :p

SokaMoka thanks for the greatful advice.

all my life, i've went to very small schools; you know almost everyone in your grade. and to this day, i still go to a small school. i think the size of the class has something to do with it. rumors spread fast when you're in a small school, and i don't like to be gossiped. maybe the school has something to do with my confidence.

Okay, I was sympathetic but now you're just making pathetic excuses.

About confidence, here is my advice: fake it till you make it.

about bringing her a cupcake tommorow, how should i approach this? i'll probably end up with more than one cupcake. should i only bring one to class and give it to her, or just bring however many i have and share it to the class? if i give it only to her, i think it kinda makes it obvious to everyone that i like her.

Am I missing something here ?

First off didn't we all agree that you are going to use that line that says cupcake after dinner ?

You need to be logical and brake things up into small fragments, here is how to do it from a Linux geek's point of view :

First step : Using the cupcake after dinner line.
Dependencies :

1- Knowing ahead of time where is dinner going to be at ; When asked after using the cupcake line (make sure it's not a super fancy place but not ghettoo at the same time, something in between, and that place must have a nice busy atmosphere you don't want to get stuck on downtime , remember you are shy she isn't you)

2- Once you figure out WTH you are going to take her and when, go find te best place that makes cupcakes, make sure you get the most delecious cupcake you can find PERIOD

a- Put that cupcake in a small nice fancy white box
b- After dinner you go out for a walk and then you put it in a nice line :
SMILE --:> :D and look her in the eyes and tell her, "Well you kept your part of the deal now here is mine :D" and you give her the cupcake in the nice fancy whitebox ;)
c- Bring only one cupcake for her.
Why ? Once she goes to eat it you guys might share and wink wink will lead to a nice close atmosphere for you guys to feel that you know each other well ;)
c- The cupcake is when you guys are alone (after dinner remember) so you don't have to worry about everyone else in class.

But let's say you were bringing the cupcake for her in school, be brave and you walk to her and don't try to be quiet just be normal and be like "Well here is the cupcake as promised enjoy!" make it look like it's nothing then everyone else will dismiss it as something ususal instead of a romantic move ;)

LOL Thanks, and it's SokaMoka ;)

Sigh.. it's a shame really that all the girls that crossed my path were pure snakes, otherwise I would have been leading one hell of a joyful relationship :(
But it's not too late for ppl like our friend InlineFour here to get things to work for him :D

most likely she is just being herself.

I dont see any clues to see that she is interested in you at all.

BUT, it doesnt hurt to ask her out :p

Just talk to her a lot tomorrow, and then when you are done, just say something smooth like "See you on Monday!". Then, when you see her, attept to initiate a conversation, then work your way up from there. Go throughout that week talking to her and getting to know her and such, then ask her out on a date.

12th grade

ok, grab your man's card and be courageous to give her some food.

"hope you enjoy the food i baked. are you available this weekend so we can hang out sometimes? it'd be nice if you generally accept my offer."

something like that..

that's a giant leap asking her to hang out, for me at least. i don't know what's with me. the feel of rejection? i don't know.

Practice on your parents. Here is a good excercise:

You: Mom/Dad can I have $1000?
Them: What?
You: Can I have $1000?
Them: Why?
You: No reason. I just want $1000.
Them: No. (Blah blah blah blah... responsibility, job, value of a dollar... blah blah blah)
You: Ok... just checking.

Now just replace "Mom/Dad" with "Girl's Name" and "$1000" with "Date/Sex/Whatever" and you're home free. Fear of rejection problem solved! :D (And unlike your parents, the girl might actually say yes)

Word of advice... you're a novice so ask for the date before you ask for sex, k? Go get'em tiger.

Exactly, InlineFour jsut remember that you are going in and have nothing to lose , and this is the first experience here, just make sure you are yourself, REMEMBER that she talked to you since the first place this means there is no NEED for change, and do not degrade yourself for her, be nice but DON'T BEE TOO NICE!

That cupcake in the white box is as far as I would recommend pushing it anything further and she will think she has the remote control for you.

We need to make a good first impression here, but not make her think that you are going crazy for her, it's a major turn off for girls if they realize that.

EDIT : Yes and it's wise what I read from jndietz try to hold on to you dck for a week before attempting things so sudden she might feel being pushed too fast, take sometime and find out what she lieks talking about and engage into a conversation about that. Then if you feel the intrest building up between you and her then you tell her Remeber that cupcake I promised, well I'll bring you one, but only if you have dinner with me on (insert date) and say that in a playful way don't sound demanding or something ;)

I'm not sure if this has been said yet, but if a girl think you're a "friend" then you can be sure that you won't get a romatic relationship with her. You're pretty much categorized into a "friend who I can use" or a "man who I can fvck" by a girl when she first interacts with you. It's those who treats girls like trash, or at least one who isn't concerned whether he has to treat the girl like a someone he has to please, who will attract the girl. Those who are willing to submit themselves lower than the girl's status and buys her time on dates with expensive dinners, favors, or flowers just to gain her acceptance are the ones who forever be in the girl's view a wimp. She can pretend to be happy with since she's getting a princess treatment, but in her mind he is just someone to please her temporary until she finds a man who isn't afraid of speaking his mind/act on his whim/overwhelm her/lead her and would care less if she left him because he has no problem getting another girl.

All that said, there are many ways of getting girls, and we each have to find one that works for us. But in the end, confidence is the key to getting that victory.

I have posted a link to the ladder theory and I suggest InlineFour be sure to read it before he makes any move.
However if he remains confident of himself and doesn't degrade himself for her, he shouldn't have an issue ;)

Yes, its very important that you feel confident in yourself. And like someone said earlier, you have to find the best way that works for you. This is a trial run!

let's pretend she accepts the offer. i'm afraid i might run out of things to talk about when we're out somewhere. how do people end up talking with someone for 2+ hours?

Good question.
You see this is one of the main reasons you would want to talk to her for a week before asking her out, it;s so that you can get info from her, like find out what she likes to do on her free time, what she plans to do after high school...etc.

At the end of the week you will not only find out if she is intrested but you will also have a big list full of main points you would discuss with her, like her favorite movie, favorite artist, favorite sports team ....etc

And hey whenever you find yourself with nothing to talk about bring up school talk about classes , talk about whatever as long as you don't make yourself look like an idiot it's cool :p

Be sure to not make the discussion about her all the time start mixing things up show her some intrest but don't leave yourself out it either.

Look up some nice jokes online and memorize some and use them on the date, a girl will always keep in mind someone who can make her laugh ;)
