Updates about my quest to get an awesome girl

She doesn't have a boyfriend.

She's terrible with relationships. So she claims.

She's allowed to date and saw the second Hobbit movie on one.

She's still cute. And she's crazy (or so she says), but she doesn't seem dangerous.

She wears her contact lenses more often now. She's prettier with them rather than her glasses.

My mom said that next Saturday we could invite her over to our house to watch a movie with me and my sister.

All of these paragraphs are getting gradually longer. AAAAAAAAAAA

There, I'm satisfied. I hope she can come over. ;)

I'm very glad your romantic attempts are progressing to your satisfaction.

I also hope all of our advice did help a little. :)

(This is Red, by the way, would anyone else actually call themselves the Paragon of Maturity? I think not.)

*fistbump*

Awesome, man! Now I'm even more jealous of you. Not only do you have an awesomely manly man voice, but now you have a girlfriend! So cool! I was going to give you stupid/amusing advice on the other thread, but this thread seems like a good place to do it instead.

1. Be visible. Somehow, I just can't seem to get this step down.

2. If you ever happen to be late for something, apologize and say "A wizard is never late, nor is he early, but arrives precisely when he means to!" Hopefully, if she has a good sense of humor and you weren't too late, you'll be let off the hook.

3. Use your best judgment. Let's make a simulation. You and she are walking along in the park while she is discussing something that you don't really have a clue about. Let's say shoe shopping. So she's talking about shoe shopping and shoe brands and uh... stuff (see, I have no idea what goes on in shoe shopping, either) and you are growing more and more bored. What do you do:

a) Decide to try to beat the Guiness World Record for loudest disgusting body noise of your choice.

b) Randomly switch the topic of conversation to Portal.

c) Pretend you know everything about shoe shopping and decide to give your sagely advice on the matter. You are the Guru of shoes. People come to your hermit cave in the mountains to hear your opnions on footwear fashion. Proceed to instruct her on a topic you knew nothing of five minutes ago.

d) Climb up on a park bench and begin to serenade her as loudly as possible to Bohemiam Rhapsody.

e) Smile and nod and thank your lucky stars that she has yet to drag you along to one of those realms of torture- the shoe store. DUN DUN DUN DUNNN!

Clearly, the answer is obviously b, uh, I mean, e.

4. In case of a zombie invasion, save yourself before checking up on her well-being. The earliest recorded documents of girls preparing to the zombie apocalypse date back to 87 B.C.E., back when men were still pigging out in Rome. Face it, when the zombie apocalypse happens, the men will be eaten first while the girls will calmly survive and beat off the zombies and then create a new all feminine utopia. 

5. This has nothing to do with a relationship, but if you ever happen to forget your lunch, you can get a ton of food just by asking around. Yesterday, we got a snackbar from Ven, a bowl of applesauce from Supi, a bite of a meat bun, half an onion bun, and a tangerine from Food-himesama (Princess Food), and three strawberries from Wen-Wen's lunchbox. I say from his lunchbox because he left it lying there and I don't believe he really knew that we ate them. They were delicious.

Ooo! Yay Joe! Good luck with her! Gosh I wish a boy felt that way about me... Anyway, if you need any help like in certain situations or something, you can direct message me on twitter if you want!

GO JOE!!! GET THAT GIRL!!

@ Paragon of Maturity:

I love Item 2, though you got the quote backwards: "A wizard is neither EARLY nor LATE, he arrives precisely when he means to." Sorry, I'm a little neurotic about quotes.

No, you see, Everinne, in my quote, the words "early" and "late" were being wizards. The late wasn't too early and the early wasn't too late but they arrived precisely when they meant to!

Gollum, I'm not sure what kind of good judgment you have, but I want it. Climbing up onto a park bench and singing Bohemiam Rapsody at the top of your lungs is clearly the right way to go, any time.

@Paragon of Maturity, aka Red:

That's a bit of a stretch to say she's my girlfriend. She's not my girlfriend... yet. But I am aiming for such a status, anyways.

@Everyone, including Paragon of Maturity, aka Red:

If/when she can come over, what movie should we watch? I was thinking either a superhero flick or Meet Me in St. Louis. Or something else, I don't know. Any ideas? If you have any recommendations, Admins, you're welcome to suggest below...

 

Oh, I'll have to think about it. What kinds of movies do you and she like? I like historical ones, either fiction or based upon real events. Exciting, but not too tragic. Certainly not gory or with a lot of fight scenes. 

 One of my all-time favorites is "Babe." Do you know it? The first one, NOT Pig in the City. It's so funny and has great music and a great format with the voices of the little mice. 

I bet some of the others will have good suggestions for you.

Marx brothers movies are funny, and Netflix has several that you can stream.

@ Red

I would have thought D...

Actually I changed my mind, I think we won't be watching MMiSL. Hm...

Side Note: I love old films but I haven't seen Meet Me in St. Louis yet... Can't believe it.

Either a superhero movie or something old-school would do; whatever she's more into. There's really nothing wrong with any film so long as there's nothing that embarrassing or awkward for mixed company. Let her pick it, though--you don't want to offend her with your choice first off!

Yeah, I figured having a selection available would be a good idea. So I think that if she says yes my sister and I will go to the library and pick out some DVDs. Also we have the whole of Netflix available to us, which could pose a problem owing to its vast array of options, as well as being an advantage for the same reason.

Admin, I think Babe sounds like a good choice. We tried to view it sometime last year but it fizzled out at "A Tragic Day" because the disc was scratched. What I saw of it I enjoyed. (I saw it before when I was really little but I don't remember much from that time.)

What about The Lego Movie? It's hilarious and good for when you need to be comfortable and non-awkward, like on a first date. Just saying - I think you'd both really like it!
