OT: The Avalounge: No Homers Club

Lol, nice comeback, 9/10.

So for the ladies and gentlemen here I need some girl advice from you lot, I've been texting this girl the last couple of weeks and thus far it hasn't been too bad. She's actually texted me what my age was, what I want to do, and all those important questions straight up (hopefully) signalling that she is somewhat interested (my guess, might be completely wrong). However, I must admit that lately she hasn't been texting me often and I seem to be the one initiating the conversation more. She seems like she's really busy which is fine, but anyways I asked her to lunch and she said "sure, if I am not busy". Nonetheless, when I was trying to set things up she said she got sick the day before, but she also said "maybe we can hangout next weekend?". Now I don't know if I should take that as a flaky response because I am not getting optimistic vibes.

What are you guys' thoughts concerning this?

could be that she’s irritated you haven’t been more aggressive in securing a date and she’s lost interest, could be that she’s lonely and messaging fills a void but she has no romantic feelings for you, or could be she’s just awkward. Definitely gotta get some face to face to truly gauge where things are at. Good luck!

Ask her if you can motorboat dat**



**for the love of god don't actually do this

 

[UncleRisto]

I sure hope someone is with me on the title.

Thanks, I will say is she's shy and reserved so perhaps she's scared and bailed out because of it (she talks to me the most at work though - that could be because I text her the most). But she keeps texting to keep the conservation going, however, as you said it could be just to fill a void.

. Dont waste your time move on. If she was interested you would know by now and would have been on at least one date.

Anyone play NHL 20 online? I just got the game and I've played a few games now online and they were pretty much unplayable. Just awful.

I don't really understand. I have strong connection to my network according to the PS4.

Just saw Joker. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it asap.

How's is it ? I heard good things but is it worth is to buy it ?

It's alright if you stay offline. It feels pretty much the same as it has for several years now although I noticed the skating mechanics have improved since I last owned a copy. Especially with the players' first few steps.

 

[Ceremony]

EDIT: texting. LOL. WTF? Call her.

It's not the 1980s anymore, grandad

Got him.

and that's why you can't tell if your digital girlfriend wants you or not.

Yes, it's rather unfortunate. Yet not a problem created by the people who grew into that environment, but those who brought their kids up to that.

give us an update! Give us the deets. Did you put a move on her?

 

[Avsboy]

A good thing to do in that case would be just to go all out. If people don't call today, fine. But text her some kind of serious love message. "I really like you, want to get to know you more..." If she rejects you, move on to the next one.

I move around locations a lot so I won't see her until later in the week. I'll keep you lot updated though!

You know, I think I want to ask her in person first and if she's flaky then I will consider going all out while being chill.

Or I can be this...

EDITED PIC (because I don't want Smiley having a headache)

 

[ASmileyFace]

This Gif is giving me a headache.

 

[Foppberg]

Just ask her out, no sense in tap dancing around it.

Although I'm pretty no nonsense, especially after tap dancing all through my earlier days.

 

[Bonzai12]

Yeah when you get older you wish you had bigger balls when you were younger. Just go for it. YOLO and there’s plenty of women out there.

Most of the time, lunch dates are a straight line to the “friend zone”. And absent of a specific time to “hangout next week”, I don’t see that as anything other than a line to keep you interested.

Setting specific times sets expectations, it means that she either has to accept or admit that she’s not that interested. I had a similar situation with the woman I was texting back and forth with before she just straight read & ignored my last message to her...which was making it clear that I was asking her on a date. After that I moved on, a couple of weeks later I asked out my now-wife on our first date.

Eh, you just have to set the tone going in IMO. I've been on a few lunch dates the past year or so and it was usually 50/50 on if it turned into anything or not, which in the dating world isn't horrible. It's simple enough where you can get the vibe of the person enough to see if there's something there or not, and it doesn't break the bank if it doesn't.

Well you still get a like due to the Parks and Rec reference.

I mean I already did via text (which she said sure) and as I said in the op, she said she got sick. If she didn't like me, wouldn't it be common sense to say no here?

Thanks RL, I definitely plan on setting an exact time when I see her next time. So for me its just a first date and I didn't really want to scare her off going balls to the wall and uncovering the Ferrari and taking her to a place that demands you to wear a jacket. Now if that's better for long-term success, then hell yeah I would rather do that. I was thinking of coffee instead or a brunch place with a walk since she's told me she likes to hike.

Also I think she said "maybe next week" because she doesn't know my plans. Again, I am an idiot with this stuff so you probably know more about the situation. What are your guys' suggestions?
