Remanded without bail makes sense but something seems topsy turvy about it somehow. *speculative musing hmph noise*
Anyway I digress. Sabreklutz, shut your gob - as I said, girls don't like silly game-playing. Or at least only silly, game-playing girls, and they are best avoided.

Take my Steve for example. He wouldn't let me move one inch until I gave him my phone number. | |

| oh god.. don't pay attention to anyone. do what makes sense.
girls aren't that much different than guys.
they like people to think they're nice, smart, helpful, and attractive. (and a long list of other adjectives).
they want to trust you before they date you.
and, i'm not saying that they need to trust their lives and deepest secrets before they date you. they do, however, need to know that you're not going to beat them, rape them, and throw them over a cliff.
so, be nice, feel things out, become friendly, and when/if you feel the time is right, THEN try and move things forward. | |

| Well, know the difference between infatuation and love. Thats my advice to you. Unless you're serious about this relationship, I suggest you use any way possible, including blackmailing.. of course in a joking manner. | |

So Flames, have you asked her out yet?

| Hi!
If you have any kind of useful voice, SING!
In a choir, that is.
I joined the University choir, and sang there for several years (both undergrad and PhD student). Typically, this choir in a male-dominated University (lots of technical studies) had 20 altos, 15 sopranos, 7 basses (one of them B2īs me) and 5 tenors. It was often even more tilted in female direction.
Choir singing puts you in an environment where there will be lots of women, and the trainer (choirleader) tells everyone to do stuff with their body, some of which can sound a bit earthy to the non-singer. Training for some songs gives you the perfect excuse to hold hands -or hug - with a real looker while you both sing some variation of "I Love You" to each other.
Then there is choir camps. The whole choir piles into a bus, goes to some faraway place, and sings 15 hours in a weekend. If you get yourself into a exchange student program and come over to Sweden, that will come with the added bonus of co-ed sauna, which ended all all-day sing days at my choir. I have sung "Dona Nobis Pacem", part of a Catholic Requiem mass, in a sauna in a S4-A3-T1-B1 setting. Strange experience. :-) Our choir produced several relations, and a marriage. One of the other was one of the altos dumping me for the best bass2, sintting beside me. Ah well.
Have a nice time!

| Heh...there's a line from one of the early Aquitainian trouveres...'Que canta cum granolh em potz' ( spelling probably incorrect )...translates to "He sings like a frog in a cesspool". Hence, I will be joining no choirs, myself... | |

First off, how much time do you have? I mean, is she moving? If she is, then this could be a problem. Unless you're very good at being dedicated and expressive on the phone, a long distance relation doesn't work. The importance of this question is that my advice to you is to slowly intergrate yourself into her life. Start off with the ocasional talk. Maybe a "How are you?" or "How goes life?" Slowly talk to her more often, making the conversations more personal. Now don't expect to be James Bond and be with her within 2 minutes (I think that was in The Spy Who Loved Me, he seduced a would-be assasin...), but this is a very good way to build up a relationship. Think of it as building a house. You could try to build the second story right from the begining, but chances are, the relationship will go belly up. You have to start off with the foundation: a friendship. Listen, and say what's on your mind, just don't let it stray into arguement territory (ie. politics, unless she brings it up and doesn't mind a light debate, gossip, etc). I wish you best of luck with your romantic life.
Oh, by the way, there was a post that was 600 replies long about how to get a girlfriend. Just in case your interested.

| Ok, sorry I havent posted in a long time, but I have some good news and some bad. The Good news is that I got her s/n, phone number, and adress. (only cause my friend Alyssa blabed it out). The bad news is that Alyssa told her that I like her. And now Im scared to even look at her  . Anyway, now like everyday in school, people say "Ohhhhh! You like Lexi. And the last is that her birthday is 12 days before mine. You think that is really a big problem though?

Pull her aside (figuratively speaking), and tell her that she's probably heard it from everyone else, so she should hear it from you now. Then take the plunge and ASK HER OUT!!
If she says no, at least you won't wonder about it ten years from now
