Her: we didnt have to pay for drinks at all last night!
me: cool. whys that?
her: these guys told us to come over to their table.
me: thats cool, whatd they have.
her: a bottle of grey goose. one of the guys liked me.
me: why do you say that?
her: because he had his arm around me.
me: you just let him put his arm around you?
her: yeah, it wasnt a big deal.


THEN i got pissed and told her I didnt want to talk to her anymore....she tells me its not a big deal, nothing happenend, blah blah blah....I dont think anything happend, but the fact she lets some dude put his arm around her and think its not big deal...?? What do you think am i overracting here?

It truly is. I even went through my garbage thinking maybe I threw them away.

I know I brought them out of the store. I don't think I ever set anything down or anything like that.

I doubt Trajan got into them. I can't imagine he would have eaten the container.

Oh shit, speaking of Trajan. He totally fucked up my back door on Saturday night. He pulled the effing trim off the wall trying to get out the back and upstairs to the party I was at. I took pictures. I'll post them tomorrow from work. Needless to say, I will not be getting my security deposit back on this place. At this rate, I'll have to pay additional when I move out. :lol

Thing is, he did this at the townhome once too. I went to work, came home and wasn't met at the door by Trajan which immediately made me kinda worried. I start looking around my house and can't find him. FInally I open the upstairs bathroom door and there he is with the trim and shit all ripped to hell. I still don't know how he closed the door in the bathroom after he entered. Worst part about that is, I had just finished repainting that room. Two days later, it's in shambles. :lol

I might have to kill one of them.

So here's the story.

Best friend works at the bar I work at. Bartender I've been talking to works there to. Best Friend has a gf and he and bartender apparently fooled around while he knew I really liked her. He tells me one night that as I was working there one night that he mad out with her. He doesnt understand why I'm pissed off and I'm waiting for the girl to get back from out of town so I can talk to her and go off on her for fucking with my head.

Any ideas on how I can get revenge?

Revenge for what? Your best friend's girlfriend is the one who should want revenge. What you should do is break the news to her and then she'll fuck you to get revenge on her BF. You don't exactly get revenge, but you will get over on your friend.

When it's all said and done, pour beer on everyone else involved and then walk away. :thumbsup

So I could handle a little advice. There's a chica on my morning shuttle to work. The ride is only about ten minutes. I only see her on the morning shuttle as we take different shuttles home. So I only have about ten minutes per morning with any chance of any type of interaction. In addition, since a large number of people also utilize this shuttle, there are people all around. All in all, it's not the best scenario for trying to hit on a girl. Oh, and I don't know for a fact that she doesn't have a BF, so there's that too.

Normally, I'd just say fuck it and forget about it, but to be honest, she is just way too good looking for me not to at least attempt to ask her out.

First, do people even ask people out anymore? I have no idea. How can I figure out if she has a BF or not without asking? Considering we work in the same business park but different buildings I thought maybe lunch sometime wouldn't be too weird.

Anyone have any advice on how I can make this work?

No ring. And she always has earphones on. I've been able to talk to her a couple of times when she's not wearing them. For example, I know that she’s from LA originally and just got back from visiting friends and family in LA. So this morning, since it’s like 5 degrees, I jokingly asked her if she was missing the LA weather. Yeah, pretty lame, but again it’s not like there’s a lot of time, nor are our conversations too deep. It seems that she sits in the back of the shuttle now, as prior to when we started exchanging good mornings and such, she sat near the front. I have always sat in the rear of the shuttle, so I am entertaining the idea that maybe she’s sending me a signal by sitting in the rear of the shuttle. Probably a coincidence though. :shrug

The movement of seats could be a sign. If it's a 10 minute ride and your conversations are short, there's not a ton she can do to subtlely show interest.

The LA thing is a tad lame, but you don't have a lot of options.

Has it seemed like she doesn't wear earphones as much?

Does she get on before you, and if so, does she acknowledge you when you get on?

The headphones aren't necessarily a bad sign. If she's on for a while before you, she's probably bored. Taking the headphones off as soon as you get on would seem too obvious.

Also, re: headphones - are there any other guys that seem to try to talk to her? Maybe she's trying to keep some other guy from bothering her.

The acknowledgment is good. If some guy had been bothering me and I didn't want to talk to him again, I wouldn't acknowledge.

Soooo today’s shuttle…Not really much to report. Exchanged the normal good mornings. As we were settling into our seats, I asked her what we’d be rocking out to this morning as she always is jamming to something on her iPod. She laughed, so I’m at least thinking I’m not bothersome at this point. :thumsbup

In order to determine if she had a BF or not, I was planning on asking her last week if she had big plans for the Super Bowl. I mean, who doesn’t watch the Super Bowl and what girl with a BF, fiancé, husband doesn’t watch it with their S.O.? Seemed to be a decent idea. Turns out, she flew to LA to visit her family and wasn’t on the shuttle for me to ask her last week. So I still have no idea whether she has BF or not. Which got me to thinking, how can I find out without being obvious? I’m thinking that towards the end of next week, I could ask a similar question. Considering it’s Valentine’s Day next Saturday, I’m thinking that if a BF isn’t mentioned, there’s a pretty good chance she doesn’t have one. Then, there’s always the possibility that she could say “I’m not doing anything this weekend”. To which I could reply: “Me either. Let’s do noting together!” :lol

Seriously though, this girl is extremely attractive. After her stop, a coworker leans over and says “she sure makes it easier to come to work in the morning”. :lol It’s difficult to believe that she wouldn’t have a S.O. :shrug

Edit: Oh, and I forgot about this. She's a consultant working on site until 4/1. After that she'll be on her next assignment who knows where.

Asking about her V-day weekend plans = good idea.

Of course. She only lives a few miles away from me. :)

But, she takes a cab to Union Station to catch the train. That probably takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes. I get on at the second stop, about 15 minutes after the train leaves Union Station. So, how do I subtly tell her that she should wanna be on me and start sleeping over so that she could cut her commute down by almost an hour! :multi

Roger, get on the shuttle one stop before her one morning, and make it so she has to sit next to you. When you see her sitting next to you, put your thumb up on the seat so she sits on it. Judge by reaction. ;)

Short shuttle/bus rides are so crappy to start up a convo. What do you say, "So, take this shuttle often?" not much you can say to not come off as a total dork. You should try something thoughtful but not creepy. Does she ever have coffee with her? Anything on her bag/anything that notes a brand name? I once went out on a date with a guy because we would see each other on the shuttle and one day he sat next to me and said "here, I noticed that you sometimes like something hot to drink in the morning, and I just got an extra...you want?"

Granted, he could have had roofies, and maybe that's not the best idea, but something like that is always nice. Plus, if she's acknowledged your existence and not changed schedules/routes, that means you probably don't creep her out.

I can’t get on the shuttle a stop before her because the shuttle starts where we take it. I haven’t noticed her drinking anything on the Shuttle, but she mentioned that she takes the train from Union Station partially because she can grab coffee there. Not to mention, I don’t drink coffee, so would have to choke some down sitting next to her. Not a bad idea though. I think she’d accept coffee from me. I doubt she’d suspect I roofied her up on a work shuttle bus. Then again, it’s been a while. :lol

The confinement of me only seeing her on the shuttle really do suck. I mean, first, it’s only in the mornings. Most people a) want to be left alone in the morning and b) carry over whatever they were doing on the train onto the shuttle. So, she gets on the shuttle and her head is bopping side to side listening to music. In addition, it’s kind of crowded with a bunch of people around. I honestly don’t know what this would be like, but if someone was hitting on me and I wasn’t interested it would make me pretty uncomfortable. If it was happening on a shuttle bus with a bunch of people around, then I’d imagine it would be even more uncomfortable.

Yeah, that is something that I should probably build to. I think she loads up on coffee at Union Station though, so I'm not sure the beverage thing would work. Plus for the most part, the shuttle is there when the train arrives and takes off. I doubt I'd even have time to go get the coffee and make the shuttle. Maybe next time the shuttle is late I could try it.

Yeah, that is something that I should probably build to. I think she loads up on coffee at Union Station though, so I'm not sure the beverage thing would work. Plus for the most part, the shuttle is there when the train arrives and takes off. I doubt I'd even have time to go get the coffee and make the shuttle. Maybe next time the shuttle is late I could try it.

You could always try to time a run-in at the Union Station coffee place. Back into whatever time she would be buying coffee (I figure this is possible given the strict time schedule of shuttle/train) and have a good excuse for being there. (had a morning appointment near there or something, you figure that part out) If you can pull that off, you could end up ahead of her in line and offer to buy her beverage.

Today was interesting….

Get off the train and the bus is late, so everyone goes inside to wait for the bus. There’s a coffee shop in the train station. So, I’m thinking why don’t you just go up and say something like1 “I’m going to grab something to drink, would you like something.” Couldn’t bring myself to do it. Very sad. Seriously embarrassing. Anyway, she then turns and walks into the coffee shop to grab coffee. I go in to grab a vitamin water. So she is off to the side fixing her coffee and I walk up to the register to pay. The lady asks me what I have and I say just a vitamin water. Kristin then chimes in” Just a vitamin water or the best vitamin water ever?” I kind of laugh and say “Sure.” (Awesome response, Rog. Just awesome.) So, she’s still fixing her coffee and I’m sort of waiting and watching for the bus so she doesn’t miss it while fixing her coffee. So we walk out of the coffee place and are just kind of standing when she asks “I’m sorry, what is your name again?”

I smile, and tell her my name again. At this point, I’m pretty disappointed. I assumed she would have just throw her iPod on as usual, but she doesn’t. She then asks me how my week is going and we get to talking and talk throughout the entire shuttle ride. New information to report: Her birthday is Saturday and she is going to NY this weekend to see friends. In a few more weeks, she’s going back to LA for her Mom’s birthday. Still no mention of a boyfriend. As mentioned before, she was in LA last weekend, so she commented that next weekend it will be nice not to be traveling and relax. I take that as an opportunity to inquire further and say “Oh, no big plans?”. She replies no and asks me to which of course I reply no. She said she might go out. Again, still no mention of a BF on the trips, hanging out with, nothing. So at this point I am thinking she has no BF.

So, today’s question: Does the fact that she didn’t remember my name mean I have no chance? I mean, I know it’s not good. But, when we talk, the conversation isn’t forced or one sided. She seems to be genuinely engaged in the conversation. On the other hand, when she told me her name, I made it a point to remember it.

She was also complaining about the long commute and asked me how long it took me to get to work door to door. It’s like an extra 40 minutes for her so she was like “I wish I had your commute.” I decided against letting her know she could have my commute if she wanted. :lol

So wait, you didn't get on the shuttle at your normal stop then, correct?

I wouldn't take the name thing to be that big of a deal. I'm horrible with names, regardless of the situation. You may have caught her on a bad morning, or maybe she was kind of seeing someone at that time and it fizzled out. She might not be a morning person. She may just suck at names. There are a ton of reasons why she might not have paid full attention at the time. If she's engaged in conversation and you don't feel like your forcing her to talk, I think that's a great sign and probably means more than the name thing. Besides, she could have just never asked, right? It's better that she cares now than doesn't ask at all. It means she wants to know. She could have just faked it for the next two months and then never saw you again...

Her not putting her iPod on is a good sign. As far as the BF, she either doesn't have one, or she has one that she doesn't feel compelled to talk about. (read: it's not going well)

Good move on not offering her your commute yet. :lol You don't want to be known as "that creeper on the shuttle".

No, no. I take the train from Chicago to Deerfield (northern subrub). From there, we hop on a shuttle bus that drops people off around the vaious business parks. Today the shuttle was late. Considering it’s so cold, everyone waits inside train station for the shuttle to come and pick us up. Inside the Deerfield train station is a coffee place. When the bus is waiting for us, there is no time to get coffee or a drink. Today on the other hand there was. There is no way to get on the shuttle at a different stop, because the train station is the only place where they pick people up.

To the bolded: That's what I was thinking (and hoping) as well.

And agreed on the BF. I'm going to go ahead and assume that she doesn't have one. I mean, she's told me something about just about everyone else, so if she feels comfortable telling me tidbits about her mom and brother why wouldn't she casually mention a BF?

So right now, I'm feeling pretty good. She won't be on the shuttle tomorrow, but Monday I'll of course be able to ask her about her NY trip. :)

Okay, now for the really difficult part. How do I suggest that we should hang out sometime other than the shuttle ride? Clearly, I have serious shyness issues when I can't even ask someone if they would like a beverage.

No shuttle girl update today, because she is on her way to NY. But, the crazy guy on the train was off the hook. Brought his "A" game for sure.

Ok, so I feel pretty caught up now :D Considering that she did not put her headphones back on (which was my go-to when people would try to chat me up on the train/bus) AND reached out to ask YOU about your weekend plans and shared hers as well... I think those are really good signs.

I think the good guys don't want to come off as skeevy and therefor avoid making any approach, even if it's to offer to buy her morning coffee. The best approaches I ever had were from men who would strike up a friendly conversation and then flat out ask me to lunch or for coffee or whatever. They were confident in basically saying, "Hey I think you're cool and I want to get to know you better" without acting flagrant. Then the next thing I knew we would be getting it on at someones apartment on my lunchbreak.

...wait, wut were we talking about?

Today went as expected I suppose. Kristin was already on the shuttle when I got on and moved her stuff to make room for me to sit. So, it kind of has become the norm to sit next to each other on the shuttle. Apparently she had quite the time up in New York for her 25th(eek) birthday. So she’s outlining the whole weekend and where her and her friends went Friday – Sunday. She proceeds to ask me what I did with my weekend, which wasn’t much.

I won’t be on the shuttle Wednesday. I am thinking about giving her my number and telling her “if you misses me too much tomorrow, she can text me. It’ll be just like I’m there.”

First, I think it’s a non-creepy reason or way to give her my number. I mean, at least I am giving her number with a purpose (albeit silly) as opposed to just giving her my number. Second, she’ll be under no obligation to give me her number. Then, if she texts me something silly in the morning, I’ll know she at the minimum isn’t completely turned off (and I’ll have her number). If she doesn’t text me Wednesday morning, I could just say something like “I see you were able to get through yesterday without me” with a smile or something like that, so it’s not weird on Thursday morning. Thoughts on this idea? Better ideas?

[dmbgodagirl41]

That gives me an idea! Hot chocolate + Kaluha (sp) sounds like the best option here. :evil

I have a bottle of Bailey's in my bottom drawer and my boss said I can have it if I share it with him.

You're going to have to excuse me because I saw "He's Just Not That Into You" last night and the topic of guys giving girls their numbers came up (along with a whole bunch of other things re: the game).

I don't understand that you're into her, she appears to be into you, but you want it to be her job to call you? I can see how that would make things easier on you, but I don't think it will get you the response you're looking for. You're essentially giving up all control over the situation and then you're kind of at her mercy, right? And then you become the guy that wonders every time her see her on the shuttle why she hasn't called you.

I would say instead of just giving her your number, exchange numbers under the pretense of hanging out (if you just don't want to flat out ask her for her number).

Ross and I exchanged numbers. We had been emailing back and forth a little but and he was new to town and I offered to introduce him to my favorite bars. I happened to be downtown one night and called to see if he wanted to meet up and we ended up closing the bar because we were talking all night. It was the best "non" date ever. I dunno, there just seemed to be less pressure that way. It wasn't "up to me" to call him, but I could if I wanted to...

That's not what I am really trying to do. I'm not just giving her my number and saying "hey call me and we'll hang out." I guess I just thought that if she texted me the next morning from the shuttle saying how rough the ride is without me (which is what I would do if the rolls were reversed) would do two things. First, give me a guage as to how interested she is. Second, if she did text back, I'd have her number and we'd have another option to communicate with each other besides the shuttle.

It's a fine line. When guys gave me their number, I kind of thought they were a little cocky and were expecting me to fall all over them and call them, which could be off base (clearly in Rog's case I would be). It just rubbed me the wrong way. "I'm so hot that women call me. I don't call women." That, or they really weren't all that interested. If they were interested, they would be interested in getting my number, too.

OTOH, I was never afraid to call a guy (see Ross).

So not. :lol



:lol That just sounds funny.

Yeah, I suppose. Man, and I thought I was shy. Texts are harmless.

For example, I would text "Best shuttle ride ever! ;)".
Nah, I'm with Rachel, I would think about it for hours and make sure it was phrased 'just right' so that the other person would think it was funny, casual but flirtatious, and not come on too strong. That's a lot of work! :lol

I think I did that with my response and that took about three seconds to conjure.

Oh I could come up with the text in three seconds, however I would then think about it for hours to make sure it covered all the criteria. Then I would have to check with a couple of my friends to make sure they agreed that it fit the criteria. I'm telling you it's hard work.

I'm not shy in that respect. I just put a TON of thought into written words in situations like that.

Off the cuff and in person, I would be fine. And, that's not to say that my text wouldn't be fine - I would just stress about it more.

All of the above, except I likely wouldn't contact anyone else to get their opinion.

Wow. Okay, I suppose. It's just a text. Why overanalyze?

Is this pre seeing that movie or post. :lol

But if you think about it, I'll be stressing over just receiving the text. So, I'm happy with just getting it.

Haha. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Another over-analyzer here. I would also re-read the text and try to interpret it in every imaginable way from, "clearly he thinks I'm throwing myself at him" to "I wonder if he thinks I'm not being clear. Maybe I should call/email/text again..."

How the hell do people even procreate???:lorraine

No, I just think you're "the rule and not the exception" ;)

Hey Rog, maybe it's a good idea to run screaming from this thread until you've made your move :lol Just a thought.

Your above statements, all me. :lol

And to the bolded, I have no clue! :lol The randomness of people actually getting passed all that crap and ending up in a relationship boggles my mind! :ugh

Oh my gosh, I was so thinking that during the movie! :lol

I admit. I would be analyzing the shit out of the text. Basically asking the exact same things. How the hell do people get together anymore? :lol

Probably. At this point, I just hope she sends the text.

Also, it seems like there are a lot of steps in this whole process. She better put out.

Here's how (people get together):

Crazy, over analytical girl sneaks up on dense unsuspecting guy, hits him over the head and drags him home.

Worked for me.

Flashing your boobs probably would have worked and you wouldn't have to drag him home. Work smarter, not harder. Just saying.

Rog, I think you just solved your own texting issue: email the girl a pic of your penis, I'm pretty sure she's yours.

Listen to Ken, Roger. He clearly knows what he's talking about, since this is how he bagged his hot lady!

I can't argue with success. Can you?

Fuck. I just remembered that I can't send pictures with my phone. You have to have an Internet plan to do that and I don't. :(
