    @Puf I had an experience like that once. My friend's girlfriend had him invite me along to dinner with them and her super cute female friend. Throughout the night, I had the charm flowing and we had a bunch in common, and I thought things went really well. The next day when I saw my friend, first thing he said to me was "Boy, I was afraid you were going to ask her out." So I played it off as nothing and said "No, I just thought she was really cool." to which he replied "Oh, OK good. Because..." and then he said something about "her girlfriend" and I just zoned out after that. All that went through my mind was, great, I meet this cute girl, things seem to be going great, and turns out, she's gay. :angry:

  • I'm just going to look on the bright side, I have a new friend to chat about movies with.

    ^That's the spirit!

    And OMFG I'm starting to feel like I'm in the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive" - the one where Bryce Dallas Howard is in the world where everybody "likes" or "dislikes" every thing you do or say. I'm in a horror reading group on Goodreads, and some guy asked to be 'friended', and I did because, whatever. But he keeps liking every update I make - if I read/rated a book, posted a comment on the group's board, even when I added a book to my "want to read" list. Holy fuck......

  • Yeah she and I are texting right now. I just convinced her to check out the Evil Dead movies, so that's my good deed for the day.

    That also sounds like the MeowMeowBeenz episode of Community.

    Dude, having a girl I could talk movies with is like one of my life goals. No matter their taste. Love the random moments where I find out my roommates (late 20's girly girls) have seen shit like Miami Vice and The Shining.

    @Geek I'm the prep guy and dish boy, and I have my food safe certificate so

    @Puf to expand on what Nancy said, the best way to meet girls is to know girls.

    Edit

    More specifically, be friends with them.

    I feel so attacked.

    Puf literally making what sounds like a cool ass friend and he's complaining he can't fuck her.

    Give ME her number ffs.

    Also don't tell her you gave me her number. She'll figure it out Hider in the House style.

  • So I'm a dumbass.

    The girl at work isn't a lesbian....she's Bi.

    We were texting tonight and then this happened.

    Her: This is a really awkward question, but are you seeing anyone right now?

    Me: No I'm single right now. Why do you ask?

    Her: Because I think you're really attractive.

    Oh shit. So yeah I'm a dumbass....but a dumbass who's now got a date.

  • Great picture, you should frame it!

    ^You both do!

    @H.P. Pufncraft Congrats! I had to laugh when I read your post. I was laughing and wondering how many cues or hints you missed -- or got, but didn't bite on given your assumption regarding the situation. I found it humorous because I have never been able to read between the lines or recognise subtle hints--or obvious ones for that matter!
  • @gwally , I definitely missed a couple. Now I know why she said we should go out to the movies sometime. I'm also looking back at our previous conversations where she was clearly flirting with me and I was too stupid to realize it.

    She's a shy girl (in her own words) and wants us to get to know one another better before our first official date but I'm fine taking things slow.
