I would be terrified to get into a batting range!!!

been in plenty of batting cages though.

 

same shit

 

coffee/tea first to get an idea of whether or not you even want to spend time, effort and money on her.

 

+1 for being goofy.

Mini-golf reminds me of high school but I think a small pastry shop (as already mentioned) is a great idea. Even hitting a nice bar or jazz club will work well.

Something like "Hey, I heard about this place that serves awesome drinks and has great jazz, I've never been there want to check it out? ". You've got plenty of outs in that situation. If she wants to stay friends, you guys would get closer, if she wants you romantically you'll be 3 drinks away from banging.

Just my 2 cents.

 

if she likes jazz. :hsugh:

 

Since I'm not much of a drinker, and she's not quite 21 yet, we wouldn't be hitting the bar. Not my scene anyway, especially the ones around here ("nice" wouldn't apply).... no jazz clubs around here either.

I'm leaning toward mini golf, bowling (both of which hadn't crossed my mind previously) or my original idea of a movie. Pretty much ruled out going to dinner.

It sucks when you really, really like a girl though, at least for me, because I really care about the outcome. Whereas in a more normal situation, I'd just go with my gut or first instinct and not care so much if it works out or not.

 

 

Don't put the pussy on a pedestal.

Sounds like you've got some concept of this girl in your head as if when she walks in the room angels sing. She's just a girl who you like. Hang out with her. Have a conversation. Have stupid silly fun. Maybe she likes you too, maybe she doesn't.

Overall the only way it'll be awkward is if YOU make it.

 

It would be a repost if I read it

If it gets weird, whip your cock out and slam it on the table...

 

I forgot about this thread, and I thought I'd share what I think was a somewhat humorous outcome, in hindshight :shrug: [hint: bold shit]

:hs: Shortly after I made the thread, I asked her out, "sure" was the response, w/ a smile. Got her # a couple days later. Called a few diff. times, she never answered or returned call. Apparently she ended up getting back w/ her ex right around that time (timing being everything and all).

So... even though the awkwardness was horrific for a while (all me I'm sure), I'm glad I did it b/c through the process I learned a bit more about her and got a better sense of her as a person. Still think she's hot, but not interested at all in a relationship now.

In the end, my biggest initial fear (that it would be awkward and we'd never talk, etc. anymore) came true, but I feel it's best and I'm choosing to keep my distance (although I'm still nice and professional), so that I don't accidentally lead her on (I think she may be single again) and so I can be sure I don't start having any stupid feelings like that again.

Thanks again for the encouragement, I'm better off for having asked, and I realize just how right you guys were about me putting her on a pedestal.
