I have gotten a lot of complements on the katana...though if the people big on ivory were to see it, they might murder me...but my dad bought it a while back...I mean, it's like 20+ years old I think...

Also, I do have Bow Staff skills (and other skills), but was just quoting the movie..for any ladies interested! ^_~

...but it's been a while, and I'm curious as to everyone's responses.

So, let's say you find a member of the opposite sex you are attracted to, infatuated with, or have decided you like in a way that makes you desire growing closer to him/her:

1. What do you (personally) normally do with that, and how do you go about it?

2. If you decide you like him/her enough to either confess your feelings or ask for a date, what do you do, and how do you normally go about that?
I retreat into my tower to run an analysis of the potential relationship. After spending 5 years to make sure I've done a thorough analysis, I emerge to find that he is nowhere to be found. Maybe I should have asked him to wait for me to decide he met all the requirements or something. Oh well, guess that's why I'm still single.

Well ya know, all of the girls into TMNT have a sort of weird crush on Raphael. So I'm not sure which came first, the admiration of katanas, or the admiration of the turtle.

Oh, so that's where ladies like you go. All this time I thought it was me...

Maybe if you show up on a date with your laptop computer? I'm sure you could whip up a handy database that could cut the analysis time down quite a bit.

"Okay, hold on, that's it for the final portion of the questionnaire. Let me run this...it won't take but a minute."
click~whirrrr
"...Nope, I'm sorry, you fail to match 46% of the parameters set. Thanks for dinner. NEXT!"

I'd do the same thing, but I doubt that any ladies would want to answer 300 questions about nachos...It is what's important to me, after all.

Maybe my problem is just that I set the passing score at 110%. And my answer to all 300 nacho questions would be.....sounds delicious.

I know things have changed a lot since I was a kid, but isn't Leonardo the one with the katana and Raphael has the sai? I didn't pay that much attention because Donatello was my favorite.

Oh, yeah! Dur. My brother would be horrified to know of the slip I just made, but I always did get the names of those two mixed up. :rolleyes: But I will admit, I pay more attention to his personality. I love his temper, even though it would be absolutely atrocious on a real person.

Ok, so here's my advice Mr. Reece.. if you decide to accept it. [cue Mission Impossible theme song]

Sorry it took so long, not that its great advice or anything. Its probably boring, lame advice actually, but here goes it...

When I was a young lad and wanted to ask a girl out, I'd wait until I see some sort of sign from her that she might like me. If she smiles at me a lot and laughs at all my jokes then its pretty obvious to me that she might say yes to going out.. or if she seems shy around me but there's a lot of eye contact then I feel she'll say yes... but if she acts like I barely exist to her...then no.

The asking part is all about being casual, no pressure.. (in actuality, it really doesn't matter how u ask because the answer will be the same).. but to make it easier on myself I would make it sound like I'm already going to this place and was just asking if she wants to come along...

Example:
You: Have you tried that frozen yogurt place at the shops?
Her: Yes its very good, or No I haven't.
You: I'm thinking of checking it out saturday. Would u like to come along?
Her: YES!! :D

or...

Her: No, because I can't have dairy.
You: Oh, so where's a good place to get non-dairy desserts?
Her: I like going to (name of place)
You: Maybe I'll check it out. Would you like to go there with me saturday?

..and BOOM! You are in like FLynn! :D

This went in a very interesting direction... lol.

Thanks for your advice, buddy, but I actually don't have a love interest (or one that's interested in me).

I'm simply asking everyone how they normally go about confessing their feelings for the opposite sex. ^^0

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), I've had far too many instances of confessing feelings from one party or another. I'm always hoping the next one might be the last, should another come...

I wanted to post in this thread when it was started, but I didnt really have anything to say at the time. But I kinda think I have a more like.... natural(?) way of dealing with the situation.

I mean for me, the way Ive dealt with it in the past, and the way I think Id go with it now, is to just first become their friend. Everyone likes to say that "men are visual creatures". I dont really buy into all that, since like I have to actually be friends with someone to even consider seeking a relationship with them : p I do not just go after this with someone because I think they look nice : p

If we become friends and I feel really comfortable with them, I push for a stronger friendship by actively seeking their company more often and attempting to initiate conversation more and like I guess becoming more involved in their life, like asking them about how things are going for them and listening to their problems ect (and of course I expect that from them as well : p)
The more we talk and the closer we grow as friends, at some point the topic of how much we really like each other and appreciate the others company will come up, either from me or the other party. After that Id just bring up the fact that I really have a big spot for them in my heart and am very interested in being together as a couple.

I kinda think the whole thing itself is more simple than people make it out to be : p The only hard part is actually finding someone that you can connect with like that, who is actually available to you to be together : p But when you find that person, it should completely be natural and easy. Its how I see it anywho : p

I have anxiety and I'm shy, so usually it results in me having a crush from afar. Then after I miss the ample opportunities to do something about said crush, I beat myself up over and vow to do better in the future.... but obviously I don't.

I say take a chance and ask her to do something fun. You probably know enough about her to figure out where to take her out to. If she turns you down then you move on but you'll never wonder "what if". Life's too short....
