Unconventional ways of attracting women...?

In My Humble Opinion
1

See, here’s the thing. I got this girl that I really want to ask out. I really hardly know her - but I’d like to get to know her. She’s not especially beautiful; but she’s got that sparkle in her eye. Kinda like when you see someone on the street - you stop and stare - and just for a second it crosses your mind - is she the one ? She stares back, and your eyes meet. Your heart melts. You know. But you turn away - out of embarrassment or whatever - not doing what is necessary even just to start a conversation with her.

My question(s) to you are:

a) Have you ever met somebody like that and let her (or him) go? Did you regret it?

b) Met her (or him) and done something crazy to get to know them?

and c) Do you think it’s okay to approach or attract a woman’s attention by doing something unconventional, when the time calls for it?

The thing is, to get to know her I’m going to have to do something wild - and I could do it - but everyone I know keeps on telling me that I’m a sad loser for trying to do something like this instead of “getting a real g-friend” whom I know and trust.

What do you think? Opinions and stories alike are all welcome.

Magnets.

It depends what you mean by “wild” and “unconventional.”

4

No wait!..electromagnets.

You guys and your metal women… I’ll never understand the attraction. (I mean, I understand magnetism. Sort of. Well, not really even that.)

I say you drop your pants and just urinate wildly. If she’s not interested in you after this display of potency, she’s not worth your time…

Hey, here’s a novel idea.
(And quite unconventional)

Try being honest.

(Yes. most girls - and men, who are worth having, do appreciate this approach, and it actually makes you even more attractive for being the “Exception” that we wish was the “Rule”)

Yeah, I said it. Approach the girl, be honest, tell her you’d like to get to know her, maybe hang out, get some coffee - make something up. No one does it - but I often find myself wishing more people would, instead of just staring at me, smiling and never attempting to say a word to me.

You don’t have to do something crazy & outlandish to get someones attention. Just be original.

And Being “Yourself” is definately original.
At least in my experience.
Truly genuine people (which you seem to think this girl is)
tend to be more magnetized to other genuine articals… versus cheaper, more flamboyant imposters,
who have the look of Leather (But end up feeling like Wool underwear)

It’s worth a shot aye.

On a dumb note - you said stories were welcome: so i’ve got a little one to share. (Hope i don’t get found out by telling this)

There was a certain creepy goth fella, i had the chills for, many years ago. He worked as a night shift waiter, in a restaurant, popular for housing large crowds, of a variety of different clique’s.

Well he had a tattoo of a barcode on his neck. Which, allbeit odd - gave me a funny idea. I carefully drew myself a barcode on a napkin, and in place of the typical random digits, i put my phone number… along with a brief note stating that i’d just had a new digital barcode scanner installed on my kitchen counter, and wondered if he might like to stop by for coffee and help me test it out. :rolleyes:

Ok it was indeed STUPID - but… it worked.
And all i’d done, was be myself. (with a little more bravery than usual)

Try becoming gay :smiley:

Don’t go for ‘wild and unconventional’, you’ll freak her out. Just compliment her on that sparkle in her eyes and ask her to meet you for a coffee or a drink.

9

Ask her if she has Prince Albert In A Can.

No, wait … that’s for prank phone calls.

10

If by “wild and unconventional” you mean picking a fight and then defeating your opponent with your superior Kung Fu, then yes this is the best way to go. Girls love kung fu.

11

Tell her you can’t live another day without the joy of having dinner with her.

12

Yeah, then I noticed later my fly was open.

13

If that doesn’t impress her, nothing will.

14

I second Girl #9, in a really big way.

15

Challenge her to a thumb wrestling contest.

16

[ul]No not "magnets, they always say it is having the “right chemistry”! ;)[/ul]

17

Voodoo.

what Girl#9 said,

but keep this in mind. Don’t sweat it if she turns you down. dont freak or trip or even WORRY about it in the least.
my female roomy is experiencing some fun with a guy who cant take a hint even when its strapped to the end of a bat. if it gets anyworse I will (yes I am serious here thats how bad this is getting) personally break both his femurs and kneecaps and then wish him good luck when he starts learning to walk again.

so the golden rule here is dont ever make her uncumfortable or scared. or some guy will have to hurt you.

19

um…erm…thats uncOmfortable there.
fooking froyd leaving his slips laying around everywhere!

I also agree with Girl#9, but that is not why I am posting.

You asked for stories so here it is.

While going to college a couple of years ago I kept seeing this really cute girl between classes. One day, because I was young and stupid, I decided I walk up to her, say Hi and make up a name then pretend that we had met but that I forgot her name.(Why I thought this would work I have no idea)

Anyway I walked up tp her and said “Beverly, is that you?”. She resonded with “Yes.”

At that point I just started laughing really hard. It took me a minute to get calmed down. She then asked me what was up and I told her the truth. She got a kick out of it and we ended up dating for a while.

My guess is that I must have overheard her name somehow and the trusty old subconcious pulled it out like a rabbit out of a hat.
