Don't pussyfoot it, ask the girl, or buy yourself a carrot.
Haven't seen her yet.
I've never done this,all my relationships started when I knew the chicks and developed from there.I'm a confident guy,its just I never did anything like this before and it feels weird.![]()
If all else fails use my line "I got a Benjamin, where can we meet later?"![]()
...because, damn Ray, you're SCHMOOOOOOOVE!!!
I wish I was that good!!!

Hey man, The Game is tougher for a guy like me, so I just cut to the chase.
Two things I know work $ and a strong tongue.
God Bless, Ray


...I usually don't like chicks I don't know.![]()
As a "project" when I was in college and gigging a lot, during a gig I once made it a point on a break to go into the audience on the first break and make a list of the 20 obviously unaccompanied females in the club that I found attractive, and a mental list of the most attractive to me in order from most to least.
The second break, I went to the #1 girl on the list and asked point blank if she wished to "go home with me" tonight.
Now, I wasn't crude, nor was I obtuse - it was very clear what I was asking, but not crass or rude, just "direct" and polite as possible under the circumstances.
#1 said no, thanks, but was not offended...
I won't go in order, mainly because I cannot remember all of the exact details, but I can remember quite well the "breakdown" from there forward:
Of the 20 that I spoke to -
11 replied no without being offended
2 replied NO and were offended (1 actually tried to strike me!![]()
)
AND SEVEN SAID YES! (For the "historical record", this was the mid-80's, so it was neither a particularly "loose" time, nor a particularly "uptight" time)
Now, the odds here are not incredible, but there is a lesson, for single guys. Shoot high, but never be shot down.
...oh, and yeah, I did take one "home", I'm thinking it was the 3rd or 4th girl I spoke to. That night...other nights other "numbers"...

Thanks Eric,I feel a lot better.
Man,this thread sound desperate but I'm not,its just something I've never done before,I usually don't like chicks I don't know.![]()
According to a very scientific study I conducted, "Hi, do you want to make love?" works one out of four times.
Ummm...if you don't know them, how do you know if you don't like them?
Good point,I should go and get to know 'em all.![]()
OP, Maki's advice may just get you cut if those girls don't know about each other and are amenable to sharing. Just sayin'. You know how we women are, all possessive and ish when we "think" we're your girlfriend.
Just talk to her. If she's cool you may have a new friend. If she's a jerk just because you're introducing yourself, you've likely dodged a bullet of craziness. Be thankful and move to the next.

I say just do it.What's the worst that can happen...she says no? Big Deal.
I'm going through a break up myself, but it isn't anything crazy, we're just going our separate ways because we've come to the conclusion that we can't give each other what we need anymore. I stayed the same, she changed, big time.
I'm not getting any younger, just turned 35 last saturday. I don't have time for "should I talk to her" questions. I'll just go do it.
Wait. Don't tell me. It's Lisa, right? Hahaha, I was just joking. It's Jennifer. Right? Paula? Liz? Samantha?![]()
