Am I the only one who thinks the OP was a joke?
Maybe it’s something like a school directory rather than a big metropolitan phone book. That seems a little less creepy.
Didn’t the OP say that they had already planned on going out together to a movie as friends? So…why the big need for her to ask him out on another date before they’ve gone on their first one?
It sounds like she wants to get to know him better. (Like, for example, his last name!) She’s probably interested beyond the “just friends” stage, and perhaps she’s trying to find out if the OP might be leaning that way as well. Do men really need a person to blatantly say, “I like you and I would like to get to know you better” (as opposed to, say, smiling and asking questions about his life, family, etc.)?
I did ask my husband out (to a play that I needed to see for a class) and he said NO! It wasn’t because he didn’t like me–it was because he had to play Dungeons and Dragons that night. Sometimes, I can’t believe that we ended up getting married.
How about instead of the insulting way you ask that question, we try it this way:
well all the mikes with my last name that is…lets see…thats only about 3 or 4 but the thing is, i asked her yesterday why she called. (i said it in a nice way tho) she said because she wanted to get to know me more. Then she asked me what role she played in my life, she told me i played a part in her life. (I asked her if she looked at me like a brother) all she said was, “Giggle, no, i see you like a really close best friend.” I felt very special and she asked if it was okay to call before school and after…im guessing thats a sign…but then again…you know me.
I just re-read what you wrote KneadToKnow, and I’m thinking of doing that instead of viewing the clues. I also read something about pupils being dilated when you like someone, how do I go about doing this?
P.S Amen to that quote, it was well said.
It seems strange that she knows your name but does not know what race you are. Is this a prank?
You sound rather clue free to me.
You mean if I just kind of hinted around at it that would count as my half? Cool!
With my girlfriend, I liked her for a few months, but I dodn’t think she liked me as something other than a friend. She gave me a hair cut, we went to a homecoming dance (as friends, is what we told people), she taught me how to kiss, and I still didn’t know if she liked me or not. We were making out on my bed about a week after she taight me how to kiss, when I asked her out.
So, yeah, I was pretty clueless.
Ummm…sorry guys, but, if you’re already making out with a girl and you don’t know she likes you, you’re beyond clueless, and well into “dumb as a bag of hammers” territory. No offence, but :smack:
And, KneadToKnow, if that’s what you got out of therapy, you need to go back. To someone who’s qualified, this time. Hostility is not generally the desired result.
It of course depends on the hints. If a woman grabs your hand, touches your thigh, or runs her foot up your leg, you pretty much have to be dead to not know what she has in mind.
The more I see of you, the more I like you. 
You are, of course, distinguishing between grabbing the hand and just touching it. Yes?
OK, slight hijack here - and a dumb question to boot. But I gotta ask:
Soooo… if a guy does the hand and foot thing to a girl, it means the same thing, right? I mean I would think so, but what if that’s all he does? Maybe just a big flirt? Maybe out of the game for a while and just wants to go out on a “safe limb” (for lack of a better term.)
Davebear boots the question…it’s good! The home team wins!
Well, it was better than the lame computer-related jokes that also came to mind
Well, IMO, if a guy does the foot thing, he’s either weird or a very naive teenager. Guys are more likely to touch, or stroke, you on the hand, arm, or shoulder. Or, play with your hair. That one’s a dead give-away, if he’s looking at you, and not staring blankly off into space.
BTW, if I haven’t said so, before, I love your username.
:smack:
You’re right, I did the foot thing after he did the touching thing. I thought for sure he’d get the message, but, alas, I guess it was not to be.
And, Davebear my username says it loves you too!
I don’t want to misread you, Davebear, but if you’re somehow suggesting that I’m hostile towards women, you’re way off base. Don’t confuse being hostile towards a social convention with being hostile towards the practitioners. There are just as many ridiculous games men play that I’m just as short-fused about. What it boils down to is that I’m hostile towards the idea that adults should play games with their hearts.
But since we’re on the topic of picking up on hints, you seem to have at your fingertips a much greater-than-average knowledge of my personal life. Should I take this as a sign that you like me? If so, I have to tell you that I’m spoken for.
Am I the only one with the mental image of Jane D’oh’s Username running her leg on Davebear, while Davebear plays with the hair of Jane D’oh’s Username?
:-p
I whooshed myself on that one, sorry. I forgot that I had mentioned my therapy in an earlier post on this thread.
I didn’t until you mentioned it, but now that little movie is running thru my head.
