Two nights ago I met a guy through a mutual friend while playing some league. We have a nice convo over the duration of 3-4 hours of LoL. He does the following:
1. asks me random questions about myself (where are you going to school, what are you studying, etcetc)
2. says funny shit that makes me laugh
3. compliments me
Asking me questions about myself is great because it makes me talkative! People like talking about themselves. If you ask a someone about themselves, they will talk to you unless they are really, really, really not interested.
Saying funny stuff makes you likeable. It makes people want to keep talking to you. It's attractive.
COMPLIMENTS. This is the important step right here. It says "I like you". If a girl is not interested, she will probably shut it down right here. If she continues to do whatever you are complimenting, she is encouraging you. Compliments can easily turn into flirting from here. It let the other person relax because they know how you feel about them instead of that awkward hoping you don't put your foot in your mouth.
Just remember some people are perpetual flirts because it's flattering, and take this with a grain of salt. But, it probably means they like you if they reciprocate.
So all the complimenting gave me the balls to straight up say "give me your number" at the end of the night. So then we traded numbers. :D
I waited til the next evening to text him (cause we stopped playing around 8 am haha). If you get a number, don't wait more than a day or two! If you like someone, show it and talk to them. He does the following:
1. Replies IMMEDIATELY
2. Tells me he was thinking about texting me
3. Starts up a convo asking about my day.
All of these things say: Hey you didn't imagine it, I do in fact like you! :D Then it moves past the awkward "hi" "hi..." stage to talking about 'stuff'.
Do I know this guy very well yet? Not really. Who knows if I'll find out something and be like... hmmm no sorry but nice meeting you. But anyway, the point is he's totally doing it right. His confidence was really attractive. Let someone know if you're interested in them!  Then ask for the number. :D
Anyway, I'm happy about that cause I'm ready to have some fun and meet a nice guy who is not gonna drama things up. Basically, I need more handsome nerds in my life. Decided that on Friday morning when having brunch with a friend, and then this fell into my lap. It's nice to know at least someone thinks I'm attractive in one way or another. XD

Aww that's really sad to he.....wait
A good Boy Blog? Winner! Good for you Red!

How do you know he's handsome and how did he compliment you if all you ever did was play LoL for a few hrs together? Or am I missing part of the story? o_0

*gives first blood as corki to enemy vayne*
*sigh*
"nice try corki, you almost had her!"
I dunno if someone's too complimentary to you doesn't that just make you think they want your cock? Honesty yo!

This is not a proper TL girl/boy blog. It needs way more awkwardness, subtle bragging, skewed perception of what happened between you two, and finally where is the desperate TL WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
GJ though hope it works out for you.

I think you misunderstand what a (gender) blog is, if you're meaning this to be analogous to the more common "girl blog." A girl blog is where someone whines incessantly about a relationship (or non-relationship) that isn't going their way, when it's clearly the writer's fault. In the few occasions it is not the writer's fault and the complaining is justified, the writer writes in such an obnoxious way that it saps everyone's sympathy entirely.

The two 'reds' (wax and zatic) have it right. This isn't exactly a TL [gender] blog in the conventional sense.
In any case, grats?

Hmmm just hold on though. The OP did meet someone through the internet and is thinking about going out with them. Maybe we will get lucky and some PC peripherals will get stolen and we will get a great blog?

He's right you know. You're just telling the forever-alones of the the internet what they already know but can't execute properly. It's like telling a gold player "just macro better" of course it's true, but it's not particularly helpful, and it's not what we want in the strategy forum, especially if the OP is telling all gold players to macro better. That's right, what we want is an OP utterly distraught over why they lost and getting a bunch of questionable advice along with just a bit of good advice, and that's what the [gender] blog is about too.
In any case, congrats and hopefully it works out for you, but the title really is misleading.

Meet them, bring them to the game, then hook them up with another RL friend that's into said game, watch the two of them predictably end up together (after several weeks, people are slow sometimes), add a mark to your score. More entertaining.

Oh shit that's going to be an awesome full day of entertainment from a single blog!

well despite this being a failure of a blog regarding its title, i'll say on-topic: starting to compliment a total stranger within 3 hours of playing league of legends chat isn't nice, it's creepy. Oo I know i'm way to tight about this stuff, so it's probably not as creepy as i find it to be, but i'm pretty certain it still qualifies as creepy nonetheless.

Well hoping to meet someone through games is really not your best bet to begin with. It can happen but you still go in with a lot of concurrence, too few potential girls and some of them are annoyed by it. Hanging out with friends on a friday/saturday and doing one or 2 hobbies in the week (sports, arts) increases your chances y like 1000%.

You're both horrible people...

I love meeting new people whether they are male or female. That semi anxious feeling and then trying your best to be as funny as possible without being mean is always fun for me. Good luck with your guy friend op!

Why make an eHarmony profile when you can find love on LoL? Second only to WoW in number of relationships started.
|
Hahaha!
When I first read the blog, I sort of skipped over Zatic and Wax's replies... re-reading them again, I almost lol'ed (at work)!

Yeah exactly . The bad title is forgiveable, but along with the tone of subtly instructing the hopeless and it loses it a bit. Still, seems well-meaning and honest. 4/5.
