Holy crap man - are you serious? SHE WANTS YOU TO STUDY WITH HER. It doesn't matter that you don't know the material.

no kidding, this guy is doomed.

You are only getting a B & she wanted to study with you?
It could mean that both of you might fail together 😉

 
I am not doomed.

Everyone is so...whats the word...pesamistic. We'll see how its going by next week. K? :|


I'm just a little slower than everyone else.

i'm somewhat shocked that you didnt know her name. Usually when you meet someone for the first time you say "I'm (your name here), whats your name?"

Turns out she didn't drop the class. Talked with her after class while we waited on a bus. Turns out her name is Ashley(Its always an Ashley, 3 girls I've ever like are all named Ashley). She'd been wanting to know my name as well. She also doesn't like to study by herself as she learns better when someone is teaching her. Since we have a test tomorrow, it would have benefited me to know the material so I could have helped her but I have yet to open a book or do any HW problems thus far in the class and yet I still have a B where she is clinging to a C. Now before I get flame-broiled, I plan to start studying tomorrow for the next test so that I may be in a position to help her. I also plan to get her number this week and possibly take her out for a nice dinner if she will permit me. Sigh, ain't life grand.

In other words: SCORE

You did not get her number. You did not get a date. You did not score.

Talking to a woman and learning her name is not scoring.

Failing to arrange a study session when she's begging you to scores negative points.

Planning to get her number does not count.

Read amnesiac's thread. Read in there my post about the right and wrong way to ask a girl out. You are going about this the wrong way.
 
"Seriously.... Always make sure you introduce yourself, that way you come across as polite and you get to know the womans name as well. Hopefully you learned your lesson from this and wont make the same mistakes in the future"

What he said!

I would smack your face if you want more from me but didn't even care to ask my name. On a serious note, it's an indescribable feeling when someone doesn't even care to ask your name but claims to have interest. Personally, I easily forget a guy who does stuff like that. No sense of courtesy, it seems.
 
Well uhm, if you had a B you are doing SOMETHING RIGHT. So you should have studied with her. Even if both of yo uare getting Ds, 2 people studying together is always better. I think you chickened out.

I was going to say the same thing, avoiding a study date is not score.

 
I repeat:
los·er ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lzr)
n.

One that fails to win: the losers of the game.
One who takes loss in a specified way: a graceful loser; a poor loser.

One that fails consistently, especially a person with bad luck or poor skills: ?losers at home seeking wealth and glory in undeveloped countries? (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
One that is bad in quality: That book is a real loser.

One that gets noticed by a hot girl and goes out of his way to keep from getting to know her better or even at all: a dumbass loser.
One that wouldn't know what to do with a girl if she was sitting on his face.
 
Obviously the more you post here, the more you are getting hammered.

In all seriousness, NEXT TIME you see her, freaking suck it up and ask her out. Don't wait another day, etc. It's really not that tough either. Strike up a little conversation with her, which apparently you are able to do at this point. Then, during it simply ask "Would you like to go out to dinner one night?"

She says yes - score. She says no, at least you save yourself reading another 50 posts being called a loser.

My .02
 
Always get a girls name and number. Its easier when you first meet them to get their numbers then to wait a while........

I was in Uni halls in the kitchen. 2 girls came up to me, we started to chat. Never met them before. I asked them names, blah blah chit chat.

Anyway soon afterwards I get their numbers.

ALWAYS get name and number.

I don't care if I read another 50 responses that say I'm a loser or what not.

I enjoy seeing how different people react to the same situation. Most are negative, followed by some netural, and then finally one or two positive.

If I screw this up, I'll know better for next time. I just glad to be talking to a new face peroid. At worst maybe I'll walk away with a new friend.

ok boss you are sorta on the right track with your last encounter. Howevery you played it too safe. You didnt risk anything. And you really didnt gain anything other than what her name was. Anyone will tell you girls want assertive confident men. If you were an assertive confident male you would have walked out of that situation with at least three things: 1) her number(this is so key if you can't do this dont bother talking to girls anymore) 2) a meeting time to study with her(studying isnt really studying what she really is trying to say is that she wants to be alone and close with you and she will be happy if you end up making out for 3 hours or studying physics) and 3) a tentative yes for a non-study date(the exact time and place doesnt need to be set in stone on the spot)

So if that is too much for you to do or it is overwhelming at the very minimum always walk away with the digits. <-----------------essential because it shows you are interested and assertive by asking for what you want

Since you failed to get her number or arrange a study date you can hope she doesnt meet a more assertive someone else b4 your next class and lose all interest in you........

good luck and keep us posted

4) She suggested that they should go some where to carry on the conversation (maybe in a private place).

It is a clear indication that the girl is really interested that why she approach the guy....normally they would want the guy to approach them.

Secondly she suggesting that they should study together....it is mean that she wanted to be in a private place with the guy, and hoping that it is lead up to some kissing groping.

Some people are so slow that why girl often say that guys are dense.

Sorry buddy, but you can't score when youre still sittin on the bench. Get your crap covered so you can study with her. Then lay it on the line and get her number and ask her out to dinner.

As far as the caged animal, yup talking to women you are interested is exciting isn't it 🙂 I still get the adrenaline pumping too, but the best way to go about is to just force yourself to go talk to her. You know her name, the rest should come easy. And we demand pics! 😀
 
I will try to get pics but I don't know how to go about it.

I have a picture phone, should I just ask her to help me test it out?

Anyway, I am truely sorry that I do not conform to the norm when it comes to talking to girls, I've always had trouble since I got setup in 5th grade(long story). I am trying, she's only gonna be here a few more weeks so I guess I better get to it.

Tomorrow's mission impossible:

To get phone# and/or date.

How's this: "Sure is hot out here today. Hey, if you're not doing anything would you like to get an icecream

sounds like a good idea most girls would have a hard time turning down any excuse for ice cream. You can be as unsure and unconfident of yourself all you want on the inside what is important is what comes across in the way you act and speak around her. If it is helpful "act as if". Act as if you have 12" inch weener and drive 7 hundred series bimma. The confidence will show in your voice and she will prolly do what ever you suggest.

I was just teasin about pics, but any YAGT thread is better with pics 🙂 Dont beg her for pics so that you can post it on an online forum that you frequent 😉 😛

The ice cream idea sounds like a good one... good luck! You said shes only gonna be here a couple more weeks? Where is she going? 😕

BTW, it seems that she is interested in you, so that should take your worries away about if she likes you or not.... now just move in for the kill

Just ask her to go for a walk with you over to the park and be spontaneous.

The ice cream thing is a good idea. Better to start out w/ that than just asking her out to dinner, IMO. If she says she's busy, though, don't panic and ask her out to dinner instead. I would just say "OK, well maybe some other time then if you'd like" and leave it at that.

As far as the pics go, forget it. You don't want to creep her out.

And for God's sake, next time study with her. 😕 😕 😕

And I was kidding about getting them 😉

She is currently in a 2 year college about 3 hours north of here. She's here for summer semester and then heading back for her Sophomore year. She will then return here, to UGA, for her Junior and Senior years. Her friend just arrived from Florida and she wanted to get home to see her or else I would have asked today.
