more and more it seems like the teamliquid blog section has become the 'help a nerdy high school kid get with girls' section lol

edit: oh my advice would be to just tell her you like her and ask if she wants to hang out. then go grab dinner and see a movie. yay

"Hey do you want to go get coffee/ go see a movie/ grab a bite to eat on (insert day X)?"
Do not chicken out, I have the same problem you have but I am improving. Most important thing is to not be afraid of failyre or rejection. You will never become socially normal if you don't try and make mistakes.

ok i asked if she wanted to hang out she was like "well prom just ended and i have a ton of projects [for school] to do" which is really quite true, we have a shit ton of projects at the end of the year

then i said we could get dinner sometime, and she said alright, i'll talk to you later

that was easier than i thought but also not as successful as i'd hoped

WELL - back to piano practice for today, hopefully i can get the first 2.5 pages of fantaisie impromptu solidly under my belt with a couple more hours

your thoughts, TL?

"Hey what was the prom like yesterday?", then you talk for a little while, then at some point you ask her "Are you free on x day? Want to go have a coffee?" or something like that. Bam, done.

And after reading that last post, you probably should've set an actual time for it, but since you didn't, just make sure you don't wait too long to follow up on it.

Its going to be awkward if you don't do a casual approach, I mean since you knew this person for a period it shouldn't be difficult right?

Just say hey we've known each other for a while now and I think it would be cool if we could go out for coffee sometime. Nothing fancy.

social skills are learned through experience. you will crash and burn many times over and say things that will make you cringe even five years later every time you think about it, but that's the only way to learn. get on it, you have a long journey ahead.

Meguca, I feel for you. Based on my experiences in high school this is what I can say:

1. She already seems at least somewhat interested in you. That means you don't have to do anything or be anybody that you aren't already. If you are afraid that you aren't confident or funny or have no social skills or whatever, it doesn't matter. She's already interested in you because of who you are, so you don't have to change anything about yourself. Just relax. In high school I always made the mistake of thinking I wasn't good enough when a girl showed interest in me. But the fact is that if she is interested in you, then you are already good enough. Just being relaxed and not putting pressure on yourself is the most important thing you can do.

2. If the thought of a date freaks you out, just think of it as doing something fun with a friend. Don't over think it. Just try to have fun. If you are having fun, then she will have fun too.

3. Physical contact. Physical contact is the best way to create a romantic relationship. Hugs are good and probably the easiest. Give her a hug when you meet her to hang out or say goodbye after hanging out. Also, small, playful touches are good. A light touch on the arm is good. Eventually, once you both are comfortable with physical contact, it can progress to holding hands and eventually kissing, which I'm assuming you would enjoy.

No pressure, gl hf

Hey, I could always post a blog looking for advice, then it could be 30something divorcees asking for how to get with girls.

=p

Actual advice - actually, I got nothing. (see above)

Call, talk to her, if there is some kind of function or activity related to your common experience (a dance, a party, concert, something along those lines) ask her if she would want to go?

I think that's how it works. (Yes, I managed to get engaged twice and married once without ever knowing how to actually go about asking someone out. Beyond that point, I do better.)
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

call her, or go up to her in person.

"hey (so and so), i would like to take you out to (dinner, lunch, bowling, some activity) on (such ans such date) at or around (time of activity). would you like to go?"

also dont use the term "hang out" hanging out is something friends do and i assume you dont want to be "just friends" with this girl. it is always best to be direct with your intentions when it comes to dating.

be sure to report back what she says.

I feel ya man; asking someone out on a date is hard (and it should be if you actually like them), but it is simple. Start a normal conversation and get through the usual filler (how was your day blah blah blah). Then you ask her if she would like to go on a date with you. (Literally, like that. She'll know what you're trying to say.) If she says yes then you work out where you two would like to go. If she says no, then you say thanks for thinking about it and don't push things. Keep it simple and polite.

The most important thing though is that you have the balls to do it and to back down if she says no. You'll be that much more badass either way.

If you're still feeling nervous try asking your parents (especially your dad, if you're a guy). They probably have been down this road already and know you a heck of alot better than we do. They might have good advice.

And in any case, good luck!

You made a huge mistake - when she started talking about projects you HAD to say 'bitch please' and follow up with silence. Shows them true alpha male potential, consult pickup thread and sarging general sittingcasanova for details

During a conversation:
"Oh by the way, you want to go get coffee/lunch/(anything casual and enjoyable) sometime?"
Either she'll say yes or no. If she says yes, just figure out a time and place and good job! If she says no or does some weird way of dodging it, well you tried. But it already sounds like she is at least open to you so just ask her

A date means someone has shown affection and interest towards you, and you agree to go out somewhere that they have invited you, and you agree, and they should be paying, although you should offer to pay anyway (so have money just in case they're cheap) and they should decline the offer and pay for you anyway.
