Let's talk about girls!

I talked with a friend about it. I came to the conclusion that I need to act fast. This is driving me crazy, she's all I can think about. She's on my mind every minute.

The plan is I e-mail her about some stuff. She mails back, hopefully in a nice way. I mail back and ask her if she wants to preach together with me again. If she says yes and we meet, I'm going to make it a nice day and somewhere past the middle I'll steer the conversation towards her and guys. And then I'll say that I'd like to know her better. That should be clear enough and I'll know what to expect.

How's that for a plan?

I think if you throw in enough "gee whiz"'es and "golly"'s it'd sound like a plan straight out of a 50s sitcom.

Angrist, do you want my opinion?
It sounds like you are looking for love, or some sort of perfect relationship. But, love isn't a game of chess. Love is a game of baseball...you won't know you've found love and then BAM! The pitcher throws a 99 mile per hour fast ball and it hits you in your fucking head and you'll be on the ground dazed and confused, and then you will know that you are in love.

My point is, the more you sit here and analyze the situation, the more you fabricate hypothetical scenarios in your mind where she either secretly is madly in love with you, or she has no interest in you at all. Likely, it is somewhere in the middle. So, instead of playing chess, play ball. Ask her on a straight up dinner date. Forget preaching...dinner > preaching, at least as far as date material goes.

By the way, here are some signs she likes you. Rather than focusing on signs you manifest in your mind, see if you can find some of these.
-Is she touchy-feely with you? Does she touch your arm a lot or touch your shoulder?
-Do you make on-and-off eye contact? Do you catch her constantly looking at you?
-Does she mimic you....when you do something does she do the same thing?
-Does she laugh at the stupid and horribly lame things you say...say something that's not funny, and see if she laughs.

Those are all pretty decent sub conscience indicators that she is attracted to you. Surprise surprise, regardless of what moral/religious platform you stand on, people still exert sub conscience signs of attraction.

So, your next post to this thread better be, "yes I asked her to dinner" or "yes she does touch my shoulder a lot."
