"You do? Well let it out and let me hold it"

Ok - there are a few who would fall for that one

creepy stalker thread of the year?

almost as good as "Excuse me miss? Does this smell like chloroform?" or "Does this taste like Rohypnol?"

I guess that would work too with some females (we aren't always the brightest when it comes to men)

@KK - no fair. There is always PM and you could put me out of my misery you know

i don't know what to tell you..... so ask Ron...

Ah will do

KK got lost in Ron's Translations of the phrase "Big Bird".

So....um.....let's say that one encounters someone with whom one shares common interests.......becomes tongue-tied and goes blank? What to do?

Run for the hills, mate. Get out while you still can.

I think it is already too late for him

1: Ignore iRon, he is full of nonsense and needs to be woken up at 1am again...
2: Cant assist from there. I found alcohol helped me break through my tongue tied problem. Got me tongue tied a different way though...
3: No booze, what about email? Does she work at your work or somewhere you visit on a daily basis?

So.....play Angry Birds instead? Sounds good to me. Certainly easier than trying to initiate a conversation.....feels less threatening.

Annetjie: I don't do alcohol....

I have been there and learned that being anything more than civil with women at work is a no-no. It isn't exactly encouraged either.

*sigh*

Forget the booze route then, coffee? Email? SMS? Facebook? Twitter? Surely there must be some form of communication you can try?

Um......I don't know what to say.

Perhaps it is best that I follow Ron's advice and walk <briskly> away from the scary stuff.....yet I keep on circling back to this....



Why is it so difficult to make friends?

Its difficult because of the unknown. Sometimes you just need to take that leap and hope like hellfire she is not bright enough to burn the wax off your wings...

Let x= .......

And hope she loves your parachute enough to allow it to join in...

That clever quip is lost on me.

2's a company, 3 is a party...

/Really wish I was drinking so I could blame the booze alas I am at work so maybe I could blame that...

Ask questions about her day - what she thinks about things in the news - what music she likes.

does her dad own a brewery?

Um.....I think her father has something to do with some mouthwash....um....what's it called again......oh yes...."Jameson"
I think manager for the Europe and Africa region or something....

Ok.....I'm going to come clean. I am trying the "looking for people to chat to or play games with online" thing.
There does seem to be a stigma attached to this, but seeing as I don't get out much, don't enjoy parties and don't frequent bars, I thought I'd try okcupid.com. So far, the best profile essays seem to have been written by women who are based outside of our borders. VERY few locals on the same wavelength as I am....

and you're still hesitant?

Yes.....I feel intimidated by the most interesting people [and my closest "friend" matches] there. They're like....er.....female Rustypups, some of them are.....

I wouldn't begin to know how to address them or talk up to their level. Some of these people have Masters degrees.

Talk to them like you would to the puppi
