Woo is she one of the Bio Anth graduate students? What kind of anthropologist she is can matter.

Ah she is physical like me. Damn is she one of Larsen's students and doing her research in Poland? Physical Anthros are more scientifically oriented usually. If she is a bone person like me maybe you could give her a cast of a skull or fossil heh. Bone clones were selling some casts at decent rates at the physical meetings this year.

Edit: if she is one of the ones doing polish research (from all the stuff at the AAPA meetings from OSU on polish material seems like there are a lot) then maybe something relating to that like a polish dictionary or something lol.

And yes Biological = Physical are the same thing.

She seems to like bones (innuendo LOLOLOL). And yes I believe you are correct on the research activities. Let's not get too personal though...

Edit: I'll look into the bones though!

I'm sure many TL.netters have the burning desire to know what happened with all of this. I didn't utilize any strange peacock costumes or give her any unusual gifts. But I was persistent and acted not a total fool.

In any case currently we've gone out a couple times and things seem to look pretty good. Maybe next blog will be about my happy marriage (kidding, a little).

So I suppose the advice in all girl threads should really be "be yourself and try to talk and if you fail that's it," but luckily like I said in the op I'm hot and intelligent (and interesting) so I had somewhat reasonable hopes (she's pretty great so it was worth making a blog and stressing over, even if only to organize my thoughts).

GREAT advice!



And now you've ruined the great advice since 9/10 girl bloggers have confidence issues. Still, it's nice to hear things worked out!

Haha. Okay here is the REAL secret. Everyone has SOME confidence issue with SOMETHING, so you're not behind the game if that's your problem. So really, solving confidence issues isn't about thinking you're really awesome, it's about realizing you're as awesome as everyone else and swallowing your fear.

Girls can't tell the difference between real confidence and fake confidence, and if you have to fake it a little that's better than being profoundly arrogant. Better?
