YAGT: The note...

[Actaeon]

God, I feel pathetic posting about women on an computer hardware based board. No offense, I just don't think this is the place to come for the best advice, but I am always free to opinions, and I greatly appricate them.

Anyway, this girl I know brought a friend (whos a damn hotty) to the mall, where I work. The friend got an interest in me, and told the girl I know, I was informed, and just shrugged it off.

So, I have this girl who has interest in me for a couple months or so, but it was just so hard to establish a conversation with her because she was so hard to find and get to! I would occasionally see her every once and a while, and even then, it was for VERY SHORT periods of time, usually passing between classes. No longer than 1-2 minutes.

I am not afraid to approach this girl. I've talked with her a couple times, but nothing more than a Hello, a kiss on the cheek (a hispanic custom), a big hug (Which I only get ), a how you are doing, and a goodbye. Most of the time, just a Kiss on the cheek then a departure (we have to get to our next classes).

I've been thinking, should I write this girl a note? I could obviously hand it to her during one of our meets. I have unlimited amounts of time to write whatever I want to say, she also has the same amount. We could note pass until I get her number, then carry on from there. I know a Note is a "kiddy" thing to do, I am 17, in high school, so I guess I'm still considered kiddy, but it seems the best option to me. Obviously we can't get anywhere with this Hi/Bye BS. I know notes are for most pansies afraid to talk to girls, but I think this situation differs?

What do you guys think?

Thanks
Jonathan

Get a card and write the note on that.

 

[fatalbert]

write a note, or you could just ask for her # if you want, that might work to.

In between the "Hi" and "Bye" you should say, "Do you want to do go out sometime?" If she says yes, then you ask for her phone number. This will take about 30 seconds and if you're late to your next class, it's worth it.

Notes are weak and seldom work.

 

[fyleow]

Just ask for her number and talk to her.

 

[Jzero]

does she have a telephone?

 

[Actaeon]

Gut instinct says no. Logically, seems like a great idea.

I've always frowned upon people being afraid to talk to girls, so they use notes instead. Bad bad idea. I 100% agree on that part. But I'm not sure if this is the case, I have no problem talking to her, just lack time .

Well in the 1-2 minutes between classes just exchange numbers and then give her a call afterschool.

No no note! Just ask her for her number if she gives it to you then you know. Thats the way it worked for me in high school.

Yeah, thats it.

You're such a Miss Cleo, you knew exactly what I was planning to write.

And that's also why I advise against the note and in favor of exchanging phone #s.

I'm not that big of a pansy. I have no problems talking to girls and conversating.

The point was, I didn't have time to actually start a decent conversation, and get the number. And should I have used that note as a stepping stone to getting the conversation started, then the number. I honestly think I was over-estimating how long our "meetings" occur. Anyway, I'm stuck right now between just going upfront (barely knowing this girl), and getting her number. Or just write a short note and using that to create some conversation between us.

Though I do appreciate your advice.

EDIT: Yay, 1800th post for me.

the note sounds like an awesome idea
