UCSD is OK. I"m busy. Real busy. In a good way.
I regret not trying that hard in high school. Everyone is like OMG YOURE SO SMART. I think a lot of it is I just finally figured out how to be organized and I started to put in more effort. Then again, the resources here are still excellent.
My suite is sort of crazy in terms of neglecting academic for drinking and smoking.
Food is shitty. I'm having to cook with a microwave to get enough calories, and to have any sort of healthy food. Today I decided to start a blog documenting it (to a certain degree modeled after http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk/ )

My roommate is a character but we get along all right.
I am sort of busy, and we haven't even had midterms or substantial problem sets yet, really. I probably can't do MUN because of the time commitment.
But now the part of the show everyone cares about
GIRL BLOG
So I've never been in a relationship or done anything remotely sexual. I'm god at talking to girls, in a talking sort of way. I hardly recognize what flirting is, to be hoenst. Anything sexual has seemed out of the question just because I'm generally confused about relationships. I haven't tried to be in a relationship substantially, but it would be nice to at least flirt a bit at this point, which I'm clueless at.
Exciting story of non excitingness follows,
Go into math lecture. Meet cute girl I'm sitting next to. Talk to her. Walk back with her. Easily obtain number. (Getting numbers is super easy for me). We have texted occasionally, she occasionally initiates. We don't say much of anything. Everyone just tells me "flirt" But I don't particularly know what to do. I havent seen her in a bit (we're both on campus but she lives over a mile away, and she skipped math lecture last time because its super easy right now)'
Our dialogues have been fairly superflous with many smileys and random little pokes at each other (small insults I guess you could say). She's nice and fairly cute. I wouldn't mind being friends, but if I wanted to progress the relationship wtf do I do in general

Froadac girl blog. Oh how the times pass.

flirting is talking and body language that signals that you're interested in her. so basically anything you say or do that is "teasing" her or referencing something sexual about you two (or her or yourself). you just gotta get more comfortable talking about sexual topics with girls.
btw your clear next step is to ask her to dinner and talk about more intimate things. go for it, it's fun to try new things

Holy crap. I just read your first blog entry about food prices and what you get for that... oO
Thats a lot of money for not-so-great food 
For your 5,50 for 2 slices of pizza with fries I could get a soup and chicken cordon bleu with potatoes and vegetables and still have a dollar left... (at least according to our menu for today and after consulting a €-to-$ converter :D )
Good luck on your quest to get enough (healthy) calories.

I see you dropped your vowels on your way home, I hope you find them!
And to OP: Smoother than the pie guy. Take her to dinner!
|
never have heard the pie guy reference. and yes a crowded girl blog. sorta.
|
also I am getting salad and a entree and augmenting with other real foods.
|
Just ask her out already. Trying to sustain flirting for more than a week is the most energy draining thing ever. Well it is for me at least.
|
Damn those prices are ridiculous.
But hm, not sure what to say about flirting haha. A lot of it is backhanded compliments or body language/winky stuff basically you act interested, sort of playful and stuff I guess. Hard to describe ><
AlsoI'm god at talking to girls, in a talking sort of way. awww yeah ;D

This guy is the lowest ranked blogger on the site and has been posting a lot of reallly weird blogs lately lol. Just go through them, you'll see what I mean XD

food prices seem normal... i don't know where you guys went to college, but it's pretty typical for anything that takes any preparation to cost about $10 in and around college campuses. look for off campus options, although I doubt anything will be substantially cheaper, except something like burgers or pizzas
re: girls, are you sure they aren't just seeing you as a friend, and hence it's always been easy? best way to find out is to just ask them out... either to coffee or to dinner. dating is seriously so simple and straightforward in colleges
|
Ask her out to dinner! OR lunch if you want it to be less formal. Or maybe even coffee if you're suave.
ESP if she's cute! :D

Since you go to UCSD, it's what, week 3? Which means midterms are about to start.
If you have a car, invite her to study together for your math midterm (+ other midterms) at this place. Amazing caramel apple cider once you've had your fill of coffee.
You don't HAVE to do that, of course, but it's a really cool place so I just recommend it. Really the next step is just to spend time with her one on one. When you're in the middle of a text conversation and you know she's not really doing anything, just slip this in: "Hey I want some froyo right now, wanna meet me at Yogurtworld?"
Then if things still go smoothly after like 1-3 meetings you just have to man up and kiss her, if you want to progress into a relationship.

I think asking someone out under the guise of studying together is the dumbest idea ever.
Coffee, brunch and dinner are the way to go, in order of formalness. Brunch being the best.

Heh, doesn't really sound like you're that into her, sounds like you're more fixated on the idea of "getting into a relationship". I used to have that perspective, it got me nowhere
I'd give you advice but I think the best method of dealing with relationships is learning by yourself and what works best for you! :D
|
Best thing you could do is stop trying to get into a relationship. It's that easy. You'll be in her pants in no time.
You can only play this game objectively if your a player. Therefore you can only be along for the ride and where it takes you.

I...think....you just ruined girl blogs for me. I think....that might be true... wow. That's the best girl blog advice i've ever seen.
I SUCK at flirting. It's just being playful. It's not sending emoticons. It's more like bringing a water pistol to math class and being like "You're under arrest baby, for bein' too groovey n fly!"

did you try my suggestion about switching cafeterias?

I am now much more grateful for my college's buffet style. If only I had taken advantage of that more for bulking...
My brother is in a similar situation except he's trying to cut so it works better with the amount food costs at major universities.
