Silly question but i've been talking to this girl for a while and we went out for drinks the other night.. Cute girl, smart, a good talker and such... But I'm not sure if we're on friend territory or what... Any easy way to clear that up that won't result in me getting slapped? I emailed her at 3 in the morning about getting some drinks or catching a movie on friday... If she says "yes" what should my attack plan be???

if you have to ask these things, then you're already headed in the wrong direction

Try to stay away from the, "I'm going to try something, now..." approach.

When are the pathetic YAGT's gonna stop? I mean come on asking for dating help from a technology based internet forum...

Still ask stupid questions and expect to get the right royal piss taken out of you...

its not about the action, its about the moment. best thing you can do is put yourself in a situation that lends itself to "closeness". i think watching a movie at home may be the best idea. you just gotta check the little things. like, how close she sits to you and her body language. it really should come naturally, if not, then you are A) trying too hard B) on the friends ladder

It is Off Topic after all.

If you have nothing constructive to say, just don't say it and save us all the trouble.

Uh, if you mean kissing then when the opportunity is there just go for it, if not she'll back her head away and the message will be clear. It'll be akward and then you'll have to find another girl (or wait till the second/third date) but odds are she won't slap 'ya for that. ;)

If the kissing is going well (you'll know), you can sorta hold/move her hand towards your package and if it doesn't withdraw, well, things are looking good for 'ya. Cuz if she keeps the interest there you have options available to 'ya now to explore. If not, well, just keep up the kissing and try again another time--maybe after you've dated a while. :)

Good luck, and of course, have/use protection.

Heh if you removed all of the non-constructive posts from ATOT you'd lose 90% :)

I'm just trying to point out there are better places for this sort of thread if you really want serious answers cause you're not gonna get them from most people on here (due to the fact that a majority of the people on here don't have any dating skills either judging by all of the YAGT's), you're just asking for trouble posting stuff like this.

While you do have a point, if this is where the OP feels comfortable posting its his choice.

This here's a tale for all the fellas
Try to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get an females get jealous
Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move

You're on a mission and you're wishin'
someone could cure you're lonely condition
You're lookin for love in all the wrong places
Not fine girls just ugly faces
From frustration first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
New movie's showin... so you're goin
Could care less about the five you're blowin
Theatre gets dark just to start the show
When you spot a fine woman sittin in the front row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
Come sit next to me you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to loose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

If you want it baby you've got it (repeat)
Just bust a move

In the city ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says "no way"
Girls a fakin' ... goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman and there you are
Some girls are sophistic... materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lyin on the beach perpetratin a tan
So that a brother with money can be their man
So on the beach you're strollin'... real high-rollin'
Everything you have is your's and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move

(break down)

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato"... check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin, then you start blinkin
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And now you're feelin really fine cus the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do g, bust a move

Thanks for the constructive thoughts - I'm just a bit nervous since this is my first time getting close to a girl after a nearly 7 year long relationship.. No, she's not the rebound chick.. So, I haven't made a move on someone in 7 years so.. Yeah, I forgot how! I guess i'll just wait for the right moment..Is sliding my hand closer to hers more approriate than going for a kiss?

Start with the hand holding, then approach the kisser.

Repeat, Rinse, Rewash. :D

Yeah, I think you have some idea of what you should do. Start with some simple, harmless touching. Touch her arm when you talk to her, tap her leg, etc. etc. If she doesn't freak out, good. If she touches you, you're in. The most important thing is to make her feel comfortable and to be smooth about it.

To the OP, dude just do what feels right! If you're all worried about it, she'll be as well, and nothing will happen. At least that's how I've always made my moves (and had moves made on my as well). Just don't wait too long to find out, because if you do it's the Friend Zone for you! ;)
