	Enticing girl by PM need help! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

From a local Calgary board... trying to meet up with her based on her supposed interests and a nice pretty picture. Tear this apart to make it your version of best, please!

(Note... the girl posts very poorly, just bad casual freehand so I'm not grammar crazy here)


Hey Erin
This is James... regular 21 year old student, seemingly with a few of the same tastes as yours
I've been trying to meet a lot of E*** people lately... hehe and to tell the truth, was first drawn to your sig love of techno by glance. so I'm wondering if you'd like to come to the NYLA tech/progressive night tonight and meet up? I can't do the "have a few beers" thing this time... but dancing and intro to any others who might show up will be fun

let me know; zylka@hotmail.com

later,

My intent, as you must wonder...

On the boards (only reason I feel ok saying it here) the girl stated she was a 22 year old with a first arts degree completed... taking time off before the second and works in retail (self described starving artist). Says she's a virgin even at 22, and from her pics she's really quite pretty??? (...and she bakes like a pro)

This is the kind of girl I can actually make a sincere relationship with... I think. That's what I need for the newer, gentler, happy me!

Damn, where are you Apoc? This is the type of stuff we sort out without outside help.

Please don't close this... it's a look at me but for a potentially wonderful thing

Don't capitalize SHOULD. Too much caps makes you look like a freak.

Honestly, don't sweat a PM too much, and don't go meeting her with the mentality that it must lead to a relationship. Too often, people will come across as forced and desperate when they approach a situation like that. Meet as friends, keep it relaxed and cool and fun.

hehe does make you sound more open.

"I am a HUGE techno lover and think we SHOULD meet at NY/LA and enjoy the music together."
Good if you are sure she really likes techno. The capitalized should needs to go. Personally I'd change it to "ought" since ought implies obligation to some people.

The pm seems good. Sorry I wasn't on earlier, I lying in bed, thinking about a certain comment. Not really. I was still asleep when you posted. That is the reason I didn't post an hour ago.

You have no idea how timely that was. Seriously.

Anyway, since she is a virgin that'd probably scare her away, though it would be the circumference that'd be more of a problem.

Zylka, best of luck to you. She sounds really special.

Slighty off topic, I decided to take a long break earlier this week. My girl had trouble controlling her intake of a variety of substances, so I'm quitting along with her until she can sort her life out again. It seems like Poly will be short two heads for a while.

Well... I just sent my own email to a girl that I know somewhat casually, asking her if she wants to hang out, go on a date. I'm really scared (for the unimaginative - :scared but on the other hand I'm really happy that I just said '**** you' to my neuroses and went ahead and emailed her anyways. She's beautiful, and the best thing is, we just spent the last night hanging out and laughing together, so I'm hoping that she likes me...
I'm kind of sick of platonic friendships, thank you very much...

He sounds mentally retarded. I just sounded socially retarded.

Hey Sarah...

I just wanted to write to you. I felt it might be nice. Normally I wouldn't do this cause I'm a neurotic fool but...
Well, when you described what had happened between you and your boyfriend, when I said goodbye, I wanted to know more. I might be imagining things, thinking there's more than there is, but I just thought I heard this sort of sadness in your voice...
I'm really sorry. It's so wrong of me to feel angry at this guy for not calling you, cause I'm not him, and who am I to judge, but I couldn't help letting what you said kind of bother me. Are you finished with him, or not, I wonder? You said that in his reply back he said he was a fool, or an idiot, or something like that, but I want to know - is it through?
I guess the reason is... if it is, I'd like to hang out more with you. Tonight, I guess I just spent all of my time with you. I went into that dumb Bond movie because I didn't know what I wanted to do, really, but then I just saw you, and I guess I just wanted to go wherever you were going.
I had fun tonight - real, real, real fun. I'm glad that the first time I saw "But I'm A Cheerleader," that it was with someone who appreciates it so much. I may not be totally aware of what's going on all the time, and I confuse easily, but I also just liked hanging out with you, and your roomates.
Basically, I'm asking you if you'd like to, I don't know... perhaps go out on a date with me, sometime? I'm still filled with doubt and confusion because you have this thing going on with mr. San Francisco (I'm really sorry I can't remember his name, I just have a terrible head for names) and I just want to know.... what you want.
If you don't want me. Or if you still have him. Or if you really just don't want anything to do with the breed of human *******s commonly known as guys (I sympathize, I've been objectified by guys too - one of them pinched my butt once, and I was flattered, but not interested, interesting story actually...) I totally understand...
But if you would like to just hang out sometime, and talk, or do something even more fun than talking, like differential equations or stuff like that, I'd like to know.
I feel like a total idiot writing this, but also like a really smart person at the same time. A total idiot because the words I say all sound stupid to me, but really smart, because I'm just being honest. And also really smart because I decided to not not write to you, if that makes any sense at all...
All right, I'm just going to stop here. I think I've done enough (damage?) for one night.
John

What kind of girl is she, monolith?

If she's into sensitive guys I think that's probably a good way to approach it with her, actually. Very vulnerable, yet ballsy.

She's really, incredibly sweet, beautiful, smart... *sigh*
Really, what I wrote was ballsy? Hmmmmmm.... Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow - because tomorrow is another day!
Seriously, tonight I was very 'on'. I was witty, I was charming, I sang Karaoke, and was not as good as her, but not as bad as the other people - I was crude in a very cute way... I usually feel like an oaf with women, but tonight was just... Something special.

It was ballsy in the sense that you openly wear your heart on your sleeve and take the risk and be so open about it to someone you don't really know.

Really, if I had to write a letter like that, I wouldn't be able to write all that stuff. I'd basically say: "Hey, had fun tonight, wanna go out sometime? Dave"
