Manbaw - I needs me a woman!

May 29, 2009#1

Manbaw thread.

So I'm in Subway today, and there's this pretty person next to me who has the most gorgeous drop dead topaz blue eyes I've ever seen.. I mean these things could pierce a balloon a mile away, and her smile was the prettiest I've seen in a long time. I at least got enough nerve to ask her where she works (she was wearing a work shirt but I couldn't make it out at first)..but dammit - I was too chickenshit to go further and ask for her number!

I guess I have one more shot.. go to Red Robin and hope I get her table?
I am NOT good at meeting new people.. people I KNOW, I'm ok, but meeting someone out of the blue, especially someone I'm attracted to, I get tongue tied to the max, afraid I'm going to just blurt out "wangothemovieswithme!!" and run off like a little girl..

Maybe, it depends on how many cute kitten videos get uploaded.

I used to be a lot like that. Well still am usually. Just incapable of going that extra step and asking for a number. But the truth is once you actually try it, you find that it's not as hard as it looks.
I'm currently dating someone I took a chance with. I met her at a volunteer meeting at the local animal shelter. I saw her sitting, asked her if the seat next to her was taken, and then struck up a conversation with her. At the end I asked her if we could exchange numbers.
So far the payoff has been good.

well instead of just ignoring me when we left, she seemed to make a point to wish me a good day..if she weren't interested, would she normally have done that?

Doesn't matter.
Personally I think that showing up at that Red Robin, at least any time soon, would be creepy. Maybe you'll get lucky and see her on the Subway again.

You're overestimating your embarrassment's worth... you should go for quantity instead...

Personally I think that showing up at that Red Robin, at least any time soon, would be creepy. Maybe you'll get lucky and see her on the Subway again.

Question is, would you rather be creepy, or alone? (better plan, find out when they get off and "accidentally" bump into her when she's going home... preferably in the subway again... more stalkerish, but harder to notice :twisted:

I vote just trying to overcome your being tongue tied (it does get easier with time, but the hardest step is always just approaching them), going to the Red Robin, asking if (I'm assuming you got her name) is there, and just being honest. Something to the tune of, "I don't want to be creepy, but I'm normally not good at talking to new people. I sort of regretted not saying something last time, but I thought you were really cute, and was wondering if you might want to go grab dinner sometime."

I also found that making a joke/just having a good sense of humor helps you get over the tongue-tied-ness. She laughs, you feel better about yourself, and you both are more relaxed.

Good luck to you, man.

May 29, 2009#13

Next time make sure that you have some business cards on you. Don't ask for her number - give her yours. You can play this one of two ways. You could either say, "Here's the number to my business. Call me if you want to go have coffee sometime." or, "Here's the number to my business. If you ever need help with your computer bring it over - I'll give you a deal."

Either way you show her that you are interested without being pushy and that you own your own business!! Instant attractive.

You're welcome.

I was in the same situation a few weeks ago, only I was at Wendy’s.
My mind went blank and I couldn’t think of a thing to say to say.

Unfortunately I tend to have a running commentary running through my head questioning me on why this person would want me attempting to talk to them anyway.

Walk up to her, nod and say, "Wendy's - it's hot & juicy!" Wink and then walk away slowly, swishing your hips like a two-bit whore.

Gets 'em every time.

Next week you and a friend go to Red Robin. You have to have someone else there with you or it will be incredibly creepy. Hope that you do not get her table but look around to see if she is working. As you are leaving you approach her and give her a business card and say what Dave suggested. While it might come off as creepy your only chance is to make some sort of move. You have to put the ball in her court though so just give her a card, tell her to call if she wants to grab coffee, then leave.

May 29, 2009#18

Exactly. It's really the best way to show that you are interested but not pushy or creepy. Put her at ease. Plus it shows you own your own business! I can't stress that enough. It shows that you are stable, ambitious and gives the impression that you are wealthy. I know that you're not, but people have misconceptions about people who own their own business.

Get her name from where she works without her knowning. Then find her phone number in the white pages. Call her several times in the middle of the night and breathe heavily.

This will give you an address. Dig up a grave - making sure the burial was as recent as possible. Cut off an ear. Send it to her in a package with a note that you got the idea from Van Gogh. Include a cassette tape with the song "Vincent (Starry Night)".

That's just creepy! Sending the ear and referencing Van Gogh shows that you are learned and committed at the same time. The fact that it's not YOUR ear shows that you are not a fucking moron.

You need to keep the body just in case she says no. Then you can dress it up and pretend it's her. Either way you win.

So unless you meet this girl by pure random happenstance, I don't think you'll have luck in asking her out. Showing up at the work place is a bit creepy, not to mention the sheer logistics of it (getting there at the right time, getting in the right section etc) but I think that's a lost shot.

Which is what should motivate you in the future. Realize that you might not see the next cute girl ever again unless you act upon it! And even if she rejects you, realize that at you might not see the next cute girl ever again. So it doesn't matter!

And, as a matter of pride I should mention that I was given a phone number from this cute girl at the Decemberists concert last Tuesday. But alas, I threw it away afterwards 'cause I'm already in a relationship, but I still got a girls number! I still got the charm! Whoo!

No, she was just being nice because you were talking to her numbnuts. I meet a new person everyday in my building and shoot the shit with them in the elevator, if you talk to a person it's common courtesy to say "have a nice day". Saying goodbye doesn't mean she wants to go on a date and have babies with you.

Yeah I superagree with Chaz here.

I say "have a nice day", "have a good one", or something similar to every customer I've served for the past 7 years, regardless of age, gender, or attractiveness. I don't think any of them thought I was "interested".

I was going to say if you work in the service industry in any capacity, then "have a nice day" and similar phrases become part of your everyday language even if you aren't at work. I still do it with a smile just like I was taught in my customer service seminars.

Ask the women here what they would expect in the first impression, I'm sure they'll have a ton of insight. If you see this girl routinely - once or twice a week - and take a little time to talk to her, it will level your relationship from stranger to acquaintance.

Yeah but your advice wasn't over thinking anything. It was pretty much a really good way to give the girl info without sounding personal about it. It's these "go to Red Robin with a dozen flowers and woo her with a love ballet" stories that I could do without.

And you also acknowledged that he blew his chance. Anything now that goes out of your way to get her info just seems stalkerish and creepy.

That comic that was posted was great though, but it also works on reversed genders. I was at a bar with my buddy once and this mildly attractive girl sat next to us. Well I she joined up in one of our football conversations. Long story short, she thought I was flirting with her and got pissed off when she found out I had a wife. "Well, does your wife know you go around bars and try to pick up girls?" I was kinda flabbergasted. I didn't realize NOT buying you any drinks and talking Steelers football was 'flirting'. :rofl:

Plus, it's not like I don't wear a wedding ring or something. People are weird.

The worst case scenario is to be turned down. While for some they hate being rejected, once you get it a few times, it stings less and less. There's plenty of fish out there and you have no emotional attachment to this prospect. Now, you'll feel the sting of "What if?" and it only gets worse as times go on as you think about her. You really need to ball up and if she was interested enough to give you the time of day, you should ask her a few questions leading to what you initially asked. "Thank god it's Friday, huh? lol" "how's work been today?" be supportive, then ask "I don't know if you're available, but I really like talking to you and maybe... we could go out for a a coffee or drink?" at worse, she'll turn you down... "i got a bf" "i'm married" bla bla bla... one thing is for sure though, you would have made her day. if she accepts, then make sure to ask "can i kindly have your phone number?" don't just give her yours, some of them, DON'T CALL, cause some women are shy, just like you.

At this point, let it go for a few days. Next week, go to where she works with a friend. if you're lucky enough to bump into her, tell her, she made you think about eating here and you wanted to see her again, and wanted to ask her if she's available for coffee or a drink.

if she turns you down, move on, balls up SIR, you kinda blew it, stop hoping that things turn out like in those teen movies with happy endings.

80% chance is at this point, the only happy ending you'll have is rubbing one out while thinking about her.

Speaking from experience, if you ask a girl on the subway where she works and then show up to her place of business to make googly eyes and maybe ask her out, she will be creeped out, like 98% of the time.

Ok, Mav, I'll type this out as clear as I can because you're an obvious social retard.

If he goes to her place of work, or hangs out in the subway to meet her it will tell her one thing and one thing only: this guy got my information without me giving it to him. It's an invasion of privacy. Believe it or not, women are not objects to pursue like wanting to buy a Corvette. They get pissed off if a total stranger invites himself into their personal space and shows a totally creepy sign of pursuit.

Hanging out in a goddamn subway and going out of your way to "bump" into her is borderline stalking. You get one and only one shot to make an impression with a total stranger, and he blew it. It's not a big deal. Live and learn for next time; get a girl's number. And it's very doubtful that she'd give him her number after an exchange of a few sentences about her work shirt on a train. Ed's idea about giving her his card --for business purposes --was the best approach he could of taken to see and get to know her better.

ok I think you're misunderstanding a few things, Chazwozel..

1: Subway..the RESTAURANT..not a subway STATION. I live in podunkville-wannabe-big-city-but-small-city Oregon, not NY City.

2: SHE gave me the info for where she works

3: I have no real intentions of stalking her

4: I thought I would give chance encounters another try.. FFS my shop is 300 feet from getting a sandwich, I can almost see it out my window.

5: I *NEVER* play the field. That means I NEVER ask women out everyday, which though you make it sound like you do it all the time, I DO NOT. It is a NEW experience for me.
That doesn't mean I'm going to go all "stalker Dave" (name pulled out of thin air) on her, I just want to see if lightning can strike in the same place twice.. If not, I'll let it go and move on.

Wow, gorram.

Guys... women are PEOPLE.. alright? Human beings.. they're not the love interest in a movie that exist purely as a romantic foil for you... they have to be as interested in you as you are in them. The camera did not make a close up of her face a sshe said "have a nice day", the music swelling up to point out there was a connection.

No.

What I find more disturbing about this is how much some of you guys are piling up onto this just cause she was pretty. That's not enough.. you should NOT pursue a girl to go-to-her-workplace means just cause she's pretty. Again, there's a complex human being beneath that attractive exterior you rave on so much about, there's much more to her than that... you thinking she's pretty won't flatter her enough to go out on a date with you, there has to be more of a connection than that if it's already been days since you met her.

Seriously, take a step back. You're acting as if you thought she was PERFECT for you, in all ways possible.. jsut cause she has pretty eyes and a great smile. You're considering doing shenanigans like in a chick flick movie with hugh grant or something over a girl that could, for all you know, eat babies for dessert.

Stop.. just STOP. And let it be a lesson learned towards next time you meet a girl you are really really attracted to... have the "If I don't say something now it'll be a shot missed, just like with the red robin girl" on your mind.. take a deep breath.. and just talk to her like you would talk to a friend of yours you haven't seen in years. Friendly, but not too close. Get to know her a little before deciding she's dating material, and let HER see you're dating material.

I have an obsessive personality, so I completely understand the constant thought and wanting to see her again, and all these other various ideas.

And I'll go ahead and say that trying to force it usually does creep them out. I've never turned a girl away faster than by trying too hard.

But then again, I can't give any advice that works because I got my girlfriend the easy way--- friends for a few years then "Oh look we care about each other."

Hey, where in my post does it say it's just to get a "quick score"? I've been in more than one serious, long-term, committed relationship dude... that right now I'm single and enjoy meeting girls is a whole 'nother ball park.. if you had asked how to get in her pants my advice would have been COMPLETELY different.

But your comment right there confirms what I was saying. How can you be interested in someone to the "wait for her at subway" level just cause she's pretty? What you're describing is what someone that has already had a cup of coffee with her would.. maybe, if he was bored.. do.

Seriously Mav, I don't think Zen's ever banned someone for sticking it to a mod. I should know.

I know she hasn't. That ain't the point, point was she probably would if certain people, myself obviously included, didn't keep our mouths in check. Oh the sweet blissful joy it'd be to just let loose.. but no I'm better than that, sadly.

Oh I never said it has happened, I meant it would happen.

You can sit back and flame with impunity, perks of the job I guess. The rest of us have to tip toe around egg shells with what we say against a mod, potentially.

Cause yea.. Whereas I try to be civil, you just throw that poop out the door, I mean seriously what did you have for breakfast, Carnation Instant *?

No we don't. I've never, ever tip toed around telling the mods what I think in a topic.

This thread was on topic for nearly three pages of people telling you to let it go, but you keep ignoring it in favor of being a sad puppy-eyed loner in a Subway waiting for his one and only that you only know from a first glance and a hello. You're reading too much into this, you didn't drop your card when you had the chance, you're going to be a creep if you sit around waiting. If you run into her again by happenstance, give it another shot, but don't wait around for her. Ever.

But your comment right there confirms what I was saying. How can you be interested in someone to the "wait for her at subway" level just cause she's pretty? What you're describing is what someone [strike:3lv1dcek]that has already had a cup of coffee with her would.. maybe, if he was bored.. do.[/strike:3lv1dcek] who is pathetic and desperate would do.

pathetic? admittedly yes. Desperate? also yes. I'm 36, don't want to be alone anymore, specifically hitting 37 and being alone.

I will freely admit my faults if it can help me to overcome them and be a better person.

Being the creep that waits at Subway isn't going to help.

It's not romantic. It's not like the movies.

It's creepy.

There is a difference between accepting your faults and *confronting* your faults.

And guys, yea you joke around with your whole comments against a mod thing but trust me, I wouldn't be nearly as polite. Think, 4chan meets SomethingAwful meets YTMND..

It's an all or nothing thing for me, and seeing as how I love the forum...yea I'm not risking it. *shrug* I mean, we all remember the joking-flame thread we made at Image and how well that turned out for me..

I would not be afraid to "let loose" on ANY of the mods, for fear of unjust reprisal.

Maybe afraid of North_Ranger taking his pants off, though.

Well.. it depends. If I've already been on a date with a girl and there was a great connection, and I knew she was free, I would maybe arrange something of the "oh, hey, fancy meeting you here at your place of work! What a random aleatory happenstance! (pointed grin) Remember you said you really wanted to see that movie? I have an extra ticket, interested?" kind of thing. But I'm one of those weirdos that makes girls giggle with extreme goofiness, I certainly wouldn't advice anyone else to do anything of the sort.

But, again.. after a GREAT connection.. those aren't that common after one date. Let alone just cause I think she's cute.

But yeah, waiting around for her in a sandwich place, meat smell hanging everywhere, people eating, you just staring at that door, waiting for her to come in.... heebie jeebies.

As well for the evidence piling up that the "really nice misunderstood guy" is an even bigger asshole than the "asshole who doesn't treat her with the respect she deserves."

I have no intention of meeting her simply for a quick "score".. I'm not Shallow Hal, thank you!
I wanted to meet her because I thought she was very pretty, and I would like to get to know her better..develop a friendship first and see where it goes.

Then go with a friend to Red Robin if she's working there talk to her say that you met her at subway and that you wanted to ask her out but couldn't work up the courage and ask her if she wants to meet up for coffee or something. If she isn't there or she says no then drop it and chalk it up to experience because if you keep on pursuing it you will start looking like a creep.

Well fuckin' do it man. Stop being a pussy and say what you gotta say. Make another thread and just let your goddamn heart out.

If anything pisses me off, it's a little bitch bitchin' about how he's too afraid to say anything. The mods and admin here are mods and admin for a reason. They were hand-picked by Dave, who is proably the most upstanding guy I know. The only mod I'm even iffy about is Juski (see? Just say whatever dawg.) but that's just because we have differing views on like, everything.

Even so, you will not be banned for speaking your mind. At most, a thread will be locked for public instigation.

If I'm wrong, whatever. But if you have something to say, fucking say it.

Exactly.

Seeing the double standard now? Certainly nameless mods, get impunity to say whatever their hearts desire.

We don't. Well we can but there are probably ban related consequences.

*shrug* Oh well, I just consider it an automatic win, if people need to use powers and privileges they've been given to settle an argument then yea.. oh well.
