Yes, excuse me while I use the SHEER POWER OF MANLY FORTITUDE and TESTICULAR MIGHT and BEAT ALL MY INSECURITIES AND LACK OF SOCIAL SKILLS INTO THE COLD HARD GROUND

It's not just a stupid concept, Wicked, it's damn confusing from the other end.

People and pedestals and all that jazz.

I know you know.

And then, let's say I do ask her out and she says yes. What do I do? Do we go to the pizza place down the street from school? Do I talk about frivolous pop culture things that I don't care about? Do I talk about music and movies and things that I actually care about (which she can't possibly be expected to know about and that I'm not even really accustomed to talking about in real life)? Do I wear stereotypical clothing for a New Yorker of my age? Do I wear what I want to wear and risking looking lame*

?

Gah. This is why I need to get out of this city.

[up]Maybe she would be interested in what you like, or at least curious.

Wicked: This advice is gonna suck but: Be Yourself. If it means that you two don't get along, then you probably have no business dating in the first place.

New York is a State. Not a City.

But besides that, I highly doubt anyone would be completely turned off from an entire genre just because it is obscure.

No, I'm just worried I'll have nothing to talk about and it'll end up like every other conversation I've ever had; long periods of silence with brief brainfarts in between.

My time on the Internet's given me almost entirely different thought processes than almost everyone around me. Or something.

Well, if you're worried about that, you could always try and practice with family or something. Just always try to end a statement with something that can be worked off of by the other person.

@Cakman and everyone else who cares: She said she was busy this weekend at leadership camp (a school thing). Now she either didn't get my intentions, or she just can't do it. Should I ask her about next weekend or take it as a polite no? (She responded after like 3 hours)

Just take it at face value and ask when would be a convenient time.

Three hours is a reasonable response time.

Try asking "When are you next free?"

Exactly what I was thinking. Your problem was asking if she would be free THIS WEEKEND. You should have just made it more vague and gone with "Would you like to hang out some time?"

Erock, you didn't do anything wrong by specifying a time.

I replied: "I was actually thinking the weekend after. Is that good?" I didn't lie, I have a party and an essay to work this weekend.

She replied: "I will check my sched and get back to u but Im sure its fine."

grinIt's definitely a good start.

I didn't mean to imply that he did. I apologize. I only meant that because he did, it sort of warranted that semi-vague answer.

[up][lol] YAY
