How can I get the cute girl sitting a couple tables away from me in the library to make eye contact?

Answers which take into consideration the fact that I have to be silent and want her to not be creeped out get extra points.

Although, I hear she's kind of stuck up so it might be useless.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Just stare until she can feel your eyes burning into her. When she looks up, smile a little and act casual, as if you had just glanced over.

Gold Teeth II (kenan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:14 (twenty years ago)

I think that's actually what I've been doing....

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago)

Harder!

Gold Teeth II (kenan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago)

Write a message on a piece of paper, crumple it into a ball and throw that at her feet.

I did this a few months ago in a library, it worked like a miracle. She answered to me in a similar way.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:17 (twenty years ago)

Okay, admittedly she was a friend, not a stranger.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:17 (twenty years ago)

I think she knows I keep looking at her so she's not looking up... damn her. She's cunning.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:19 (twenty years ago)

Throw a book at her. When she yells in pain, and gets thrown out, you can defend her, you chivalrous chap, and get thrown out with her. Leaving you both on the library steps, locked in an embrace as meaningful as Adam and Eve giving solace to each other on the outskirts of paradise.

AAAAA!

Gold Teeth II (kenan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:20 (twenty years ago)

Dear god. That pic is creepy.

So I just succeeded.... she was taking a drink of water and looked up and I was totally giving her the eye. I kept the stare until she looked away and gave a little smirk (which is better than a terrible smile which is what I usually do). She just walked out in the hall with some dude though. Bollocks.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Score!

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:25 (twenty years ago)

When I saw this thread title I thought that Graham had come back.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:26 (twenty years ago)

Heh... I've entered Graham territory.

She's still gone. I bet they're fucking in a bathroom stall.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:33 (twenty years ago)

Nope, they're in the hallway (I had to pee)... She didn't look at me though. Back to her old ways.

Show up at her doorstep in a bloodstained shirt, reading poetry you wrote for her.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I think he was just a classmate... I'm still in the game. What kind of bloodstained shirt?

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:44 (twenty years ago)

The shirt must be stained with the blood of the animals you sacrificed in a Santeria ceremony to make her fall in love with you.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:46 (twenty years ago)

yes yes! thats how my parents met!

phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:51 (twenty years ago)

next tiem, have a boombox ready, loaded with vitalic. and nifty moves!

:|, Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:54 (twenty years ago)

y'see, this is what you get for selling all yer gear. you could have serenaded her from the sidewalk.

alternately, invite her over to play PS2

Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Sunday, 3 October 2004 20:55 (twenty years ago)

I should totally stand outside the school with a boombox and blast some Vitalic. She will be putty in my hands.

I'm not getting nearly enough work done today!

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:02 (twenty years ago)

The shirt must be stained with the blood of the animals you sacrificed in a Santeria ceremony to make her fall in love with you.

I now wonder greatly about Leon's marriage ceremony.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Is the suggestion to just go over and speak to her too obvious - I know it's Ssssh! in libraries, but you can get away with a brief conversation. If this is a uni library, sod it - they're all noisy little bastards in those things.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:13 (twenty years ago)

It's a law school library and everyone is kinda intense.

The only problem is that I am painfully shy and incapable of doing anything so completely insane! Anyway, this way I have entertainment whenever I'm in the library and trying to study. And, I think she might be kind of dull (from overhearing the conversation in the hallway). But she is definitely the cutest girl in my school.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:17 (twenty years ago)

do something like drop a book so she looks up and then she looks up to investigate the noise smile at her like "oh im such a clutz"

this will work

ryan (ryan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Oh that's a good one... If I hadn't blown it by being creepy I think I would try it.

I should make her a CDr with Vitalic and "Take a Look at Me Know" by the Phil Collins.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:44 (twenty years ago)

YES.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:45 (twenty years ago)

Make sure he actually sings 'know' like he means it.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:53 (twenty years ago)

Pedant.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 21:59 (twenty years ago)

The song is actually called 'Against All Odds' though, and might suggest to her that you are an empty, broken man. Some chick dig that, I guess. I dunno.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:00 (twenty years ago)

judging by postal service sales, I'd say they're out there.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:03 (twenty years ago)

I actually second Tuomas's statement about throwing a wad of paper. If she's worth dating (and thinks you're remotely worth acknowledging) she'll play along.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:05 (twenty years ago)

yeah the paper idea is clever and kind of romantic actually, esp with a stranger. try it.

ryan (ryan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:06 (twenty years ago)

Try bubble wrap or wax paper.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:10 (twenty years ago)

How is she to know that it actually has something written on it, and he is not just launching an attack? Should he aim for her head or somewhere else?

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:10 (twenty years ago)

She's gone... I should totally leave a note with her stuff.

Although I think I wrote a girl a note when I was 11 and someone else in my class intercepted it and made fun of me. And this is turning out to be a really small school - I dunno if I could live with embarrassment for the next three years.

Plus she's always going in the hall to talk on her cell phone. Methinks she's already got a man. Thus my note should read:

WHAT'S YER MAN GOT TO DO WITH ME? VITALIC RULEZ YOU ARE TEH HOTT TAKE A LOOK AT ME KNOW

Gonna go eat dinner and mull over my options a bit more.

Aaron W Hamlet (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:11 (twenty years ago)

I think we need Jon Williams' advice.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Think about what you are saying.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Don't be cruel.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Challenge her to a game of conkers.

N.B. this may not work if there are no horse chestnut trees nearby, if not, challenge her to a game of air hockey

Matt (Matt), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, a note with her stuff sounds good. A nice Treasure Hunt trail of clues to lead her to you. I'm trying to think of a way to coordinate a game of Guess Who? with the entire library "Does he have emo glasses?" shuffling of chairs as lots of men sit down...

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:21 (twenty years ago)

Making eye contact during conkers or air hockey is hard though. Challenge her to a staring contest.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:22 (twenty years ago)

Just stare at her until she comes up to you and says a la Hillary, "If you're going to keep staring at me and I'm going to keep staring back, we may as well know each other's names." Presuming she's a law student. If she's not, leave it.

Mary (Mary), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:23 (twenty years ago)

Is that how the Clintons met? Cool. Tell her you're going to be president someday, and that you didn't have sexual relations with that woman, for good measure.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:26 (twenty years ago)

Try to make your hair look like this:

http://www.wdwagoner.com/WPKN-FM/images/Bill-&-Hillary-1970-New-Hav.gif

Rowr...

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:26 (twenty years ago)

So what should he actually write on the note? I'm thinking a threat, maybe blackmail, if she doesn't establish eye contact?

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:43 (twenty years ago)

So the mystery deepens... On my way out for dinner, she was sitting on a bench with some dude. I had my headphones on so I couldn't hear what they were saying (again, she didn't look at me) but from the body language I think it's her boyfriend. Bollocks.

I'd totally forgotten about that Hillary-Bill story. Ah the 60s.... I wish it were still that easy.

Maybe I should write something about how Scalia encourages orgies?

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:48 (twenty years ago)

A picture paints a thousand words. He should draw a picture of them holding hands, with a love heart in the air above them. A few flowers, rainbow maybe. Wedding outfits optional - What are your intentions towards this young lady?

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:50 (twenty years ago)

Intentions would involve an orgy, Vitalic, and Scalia (in that order).

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago)

Which law school is this, anyway?

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago)

just ask her name on the note. dont get to creepy! i want this to work so i can try it

ryan (ryan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago)

Ah the 60s.... I wish it were still that easy.

It still is, dude.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:52 (twenty years ago)

re: which school... Brooklyn Law... I actually already know her name (hello stalker).

I should put that Goo Goo Dolls song I heard at the laundry mat on the CDr as well... "I Just want you to know who I am...."

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:53 (twenty years ago)

you're straying from Bill-ness there.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Bill would totally do that.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago)

and screw that other dude she is only with him because she doesn't know you yet

ryan (ryan), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago)

throwing a goo-goo dolls lyric would be like throwing a wet dishrag.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago)

Can you do origami? Could you make her a bittersweet rose from paper? Bittersweet cause, you know, it's made from paper and stuff.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:55 (twenty years ago)

Sing "Can I Borrow A Feeling?" instead.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Obviouslt that is the best option - but it's a library, so ixnay on the oisnay!

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Bah! She just left and so did not look over at me.

I've decided this girl can not be had through normal means like notes or origami.

Now I guess I have to study.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago)

But you didn't try notes or origami! You wussed out!

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:59 (twenty years ago)

bill would write that she's got purty hair and ask if she needs a coffee break.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:59 (twenty years ago)

WWBCD? works pretty well until you're actually in a relationship.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:02 (twenty years ago)

So basically Aaron, you have tried precisely none of the terrific suggestions made on this thread. How are you ever going to get the girl? You don't want to look back on your life as a serious of 'what if's, do you?

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:03 (twenty years ago)

Anthony, what the hell is WWBCD?

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:04 (twenty years ago)

(What Would Bill Clinton Do?)

Yeah but.... I almost uh... dammit, why do you actually have to initiate these things?

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Think of it as a game of paper-scissors-stone.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:07 (twenty years ago)

Actually, yeah - instead of paper, try throwing some scissors at her.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:07 (twenty years ago)

I was wondering which Bill you guys kept talking about, even though I posted a picture of him upthread. Duh. But yeah, that's a pretty good tactic - sieze the day, that's what Bill would do.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:07 (twenty years ago)

Ejaculate all over her dress - that's what Bill would do.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:08 (twenty years ago)

If it's stone scissors paper, I'm guessing Aaron is of the mystic school, waiting for the spirit to move him...

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:08 (twenty years ago)

I think we can all agree that the Mystic School is a load of hokum.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:10 (twenty years ago)

I think it's mostly Star Wars geeks.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:12 (twenty years ago)

Okay, so wait till the spirit moves me to ejaculate over her dress, right?

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:12 (twenty years ago)

It's what Han Solo would do.

My final suggestion: throw her a note (or a rock) with the URL of this thread written on it.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Just don't accidentally throw the Gear-roommate-couch thread URL to her by mistake.

(What Would Bill Clinton Do?)

What or who?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:15 (twenty years ago)

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:17 (twenty years ago)

I'd suggest not dating someone at the same law school. It can only lead to trouble.

hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:19 (twenty years ago)

"The party of the first part will agree, as stated in the codicil, that the party of the second part will consider this 'date' request as legally binding."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:21 (twenty years ago)

Actually, you should have followed her out of the library, and then you could have serenaded her - may I suggest Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) by Flock of Seagulls. Mostly because I'm listening to it now, and it would be nice to sing to someone I guess.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:23 (twenty years ago)

Good lord, and I had blessedly forgotten about that album.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Making eyes at a girl to get her attention and possibly affection does not work. It never has and never will.

On the other hand, going up and talking to them and smiling affectionately while doing so works amazingly well. You should try that in future.

Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago)

I think you're right... I've blown it with this girl (not in the Bill Clinton sense hahaha) by not talking to her. Now she prolly just thinks I'm creepy.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:27 (twenty years ago)

But Andrew's approach involves like, saying stuff!

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:28 (twenty years ago)

I mean, you live in NYC, why limit yourself to people who go to the same law school?

hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:28 (twenty years ago)

Making eyes at a girl to get her attention and possibly affection does not work. It never has and never will.

both I and Bill Clinton have personal anecdotes that disprove your statement (though you - or she - do eventually have to move things to actual conversation)

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:29 (twenty years ago)

Is it possible to conduct an entire relationship without speaking? Well I suppose it is, if you're both mute. Perhaps you could pretend you are mute and hope that she is too, or is at least prepared to go along with it.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:31 (twenty years ago)

Mute girl would be awesome!

xpost to stencil...

This is true... The problem is that my life IS law school at the moment. Or whoever friends of my roommates girlfriends I happen to meet (they're all hella lame, unfortunately).

Not that I'm really complaining. I'm too busy to date anyone (speaking of I so need to do my reading for tomorrow).

Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:32 (twenty years ago)

I once decided I wanted to go out with a deaf girl, but then I decided that was unhealthy fetishizing and I should take a long hard look at myself.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago)

When I say 'a deaf girl' I don't mean I had my eye on a particular one. If I had had, that would have been fine. Wrong not to pursue it, perhaps.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:35 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, I never seem to meet deaf girls, so the point is moot.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:36 (twenty years ago)

I thought the point was mute.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:39 (twenty years ago)

I was waiting for that.

Alba (Alba), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:40 (twenty years ago)

"Love in the First Degree" would have been a good song choice too.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago)

the chorus to Clay Aiken's "Invisible" would be darling if criminal.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago)

It is a fantastic stalker/wannabe rapist anthem.

Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:43 (twenty years ago)

So is 'Give It To You'.

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago)

"Invisible" is the love theme from The Hollow Man.

manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:58 (twenty years ago)

I'm afraid Amateurist's idea will fall foul oif the censors.

He would come up with a variety of silly but charming schemes which would all backfire - and she would find herself smiling in spite of herself. Then she would discover he was artistic, and her heart would be his. Are you artistic Aaron? You'd better be.

Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago)

i read "Then she would discover he was artistic" as "Then she would discover he was autistic," which has a certain poetic truth to it.

amateur!!!st (amateurist), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago)

if a girl came up to me and asked if I wanted to boogie I might be a bit dumbfounded at first but the words "yes. yes I do," would arrive eventually.

OTM about being drunk. I think that's why every girl I've ever met has been at a bar.

The new cute girl is sitting behind me (no staring... but I guess if she squints she can read my computer screen) and was talking super loudly with someone else. Major negative points.

(thanks for the kind word Mandee.. I was listening to T.Rex earlier during the staring and you know Electric Boogie)

If nothing else, I think I've noticed that cute girls don't actually study (the new one just left). Maybe they're all sleeping with the profs?

Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Ok, this seems like a good point to ask this question:

I was high and stopped by the coffee shop on the way to my birthday party. I ran into this cute hippie girl I've fancied for a while but only run into occasionally. We had a nice little chat and then I had to go and I was all "you should come to my party tonight". She had to go see her friends' band play so she couldn't. Then I was all -- LET'S HANG OUT -- and she was all "yeah, I'll see your little yellow backpack" and I was all OK. Was she trying to duck the phone number thing / genuinely disinterested or was she serious about wanting to hang out.

I was high and I'm not sure if I was being creeps.

Andrew (enneff), Monday, 4 October 2004 01:00 (twenty years ago)

Whatevs, next time you see her just play it cool and muster as much confidence as you can. Plus, now you have something to talk about.

It's a law school library and everyone is kinda intense.

The answer is clear to me, anyhow: When you're in the law school library and you see a cute girl/boy, you should serve them with a summons, and then set a court "date".

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 4 October 2004 17:10 (twenty years ago)

David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 4 October 2004 17:30 (twenty years ago)

Update: I was sitting outside after class today and the girl was on the other side of the courtyard... She was about 50 yards away but I think kept looking over at me. And then, she put her head on the shoulder of the dude next to her. I'm pretty sure it was the same guy that I saw her with last night (it was dark last night, and he was far away today).

So in the end I guess I won the eye contact but seem to have lost the war.

I'm just glad that my love life, or lack thereof, is as entertaining to everyone else as it is to me! And I have no doubt that the mind games I'm playing with this girl are bound to lead to a long and fruitful love affair.

gem (trisk), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 10:36 (twenty years ago)

not too sensible, but you might as well just go up and say hi, rather than semi-stalk her with music or whatever.

although tossing a note would be kinda cute.

and liz saw that i'm a sucker for oragami.

i'd maybe combine the two somehow. either make one of those fortune teller things with all the fortunes are her ending up with you. or a cool paper airplane tossed at her with a note on it.

colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 10:40 (twenty years ago)

Paper airplanes are risky though. Soon as you strike on that game plan, you just know she is going to sit inbetween two of the worst people imaginable for ever, and your plane is going to veer to the side...

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago)

xps to gabbneb: It's an assumption my brain makes when it sees a hot girl deep into a pile of books, writing copious notes. "She's engaged in a mentally taxing and probably very ingenious activity. Phwoar." Not as many of them wear glasses as you'd think, actually. Most who would have done have probably bumped up their aesthetic quotient a few notches by acquiring contact lenses. I certainly have.

It's a great way of making me go back there, to be honest. Bumped into a girl I fancied at school today, haven't seen her in years. She asked if I'd be in tomorrow. Course!

Just got offed, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

Follow her up to the desk when she goes to request periodicals, look over her shoulder at the form, write down her name, go home, search for her on Facebook.

Easy.

i think if youre psyched about talking to her, just go over and talk to her. give her a specific compliment. dont make a big deal about it or be creepy, but i think people basically like compliments, even when theyre transparent. even if shes busy or whatever, itll make it way easier to talk to her next time you see her.

This thread revive isn't about a specific girl FYI. It's merely a way of expressing my surprise and appreciation for the rawr demographic in an ostensibly sexless place of study. Although should I see the girl I knew at school tomorrow, of course I'll go over and say hi. It's what she's expecting after all! As for any others that catch my heart, I'll see if I can't stroll over, and say something nice about their dress/shirt/taste in reading. Chat-up lines aren't my speciality, in that I don't tend to use them. This may be a problem.

snoball, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago)

Well when I use CUL I generally try to work in the most secluded spots. It gets too noisy in the reading room, and I don't like the desks. Not that I don't refrain from catching a glimpse of a passing piece of skirt.

The reason BL ultimately wins is that the people inside aren't necessarily students, and are not necessarily from the same university. This adds a thrilling sense of unknown to proceedings.

Max, I smiled at this girl when she left and she replied, if I actually want anything to happen I'm sure I can sort something out over the next week or so...but point taken re: anyone I like the look of.

The phrase "being deeply intellectual" is the kind of retardedness I'd only type. I'd only say it with levity and jest playing about my jowls. That last sentence I'd never say ever.

FUCK I BLEW IT

whenever our eyes met she cracked the most lovely smile, then I wrote a note "you are gorgeous, wanna go for a drink" but didn't give it to her because she was texting someone, and THEN when she left she looked at me, I said "you're leaving?" and she ASKED me where you return the books, this should have begun a CONVERSATION but nay, I merely told her where the books were returned, and retired to my seat. she, thanking me effusively, still with that radiant beam, slunk off into the unknown.

:(

this girl managed the simultaneous trick of being really hot and reminding me of gabriel agbonlahor a teeny bit. also looked like she might have been a bit younger than me but if they're old enough to read Brecht they're old enough.

yeah well i realised as soon as she walked away that i should have prolonged the conversation. it was late, i'd made copious notes, it was time to wind down. fortunately, a friend from uni was sitting two seats along so we grabbed a drink and all was better. before he made off (and presumably out) with HIS g/f. pah.

then i befriended someone in the locker-room and we had an extremely long conversation about football that lasted until new cross station. he was a west ham fan and all!

why must i be so forward with blokes and so shy with lasses ;_;

let me tell you a story, louis. a bro of mine was once flying from nyc to l.a. and he saw this girl sitting a couple of rows up. they exchanged a couple of glances and then he decided to make an origami bird. he walked past her seat on the way to the restroom and left it on her seat table. she was charmed and they eventually struck up a conversation. she gave him her number. he totally would have pulled her if he hadn't found out she was 16 years old.

omar little, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 21:44 (seventeen years ago)

forget the note, write a book about feelings of unrequited love and obliquely reference her in it. guaranteed to succeed.

Ronan, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 22:13 (seventeen years ago)

the best thing about her was when she opened her mouth she spoke (well, whispered) in the thickest essex accent i've ever heard. so refreshing after all the mannered RPs i'm exposed to at uni (not least my own ;_;)

Just got offed, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

Make her buy you a buffy box set.

you should turn your lack of vehicle via car accident into a philosophical decision, like those dudes who can't get any and claim that they're celibate.

wow, this woman (can't really peg her age, 20s probably, obviously in some college class, one of her books is "myth & knowing")is sitting directly opposite me at a small table in the library and she is stunning. like mischa barton but way prettier. saffron burrows is a better comparison. i apologized when i accidentally bumped our laptops together (not a euphemism) and she very kindly said "that's ok"

hitting on her not really an option, but she is distracting.

but i imagine a library would be a good place to be hit on, as you can instantly judge someone based on their reading material and have a good excuse for why they should leave you alone if you reject them ("i'm sorry, i really need to study right now").
