Small joke on colours.

To be honest, though, I always that had to do with interest. A few years back I got the exact same image sent at work, only it put "designer and programmer" instead of "girl and guy". There might or might not be some underlying genetical matter, but the bottom line (for me) is I don't care about colours. I have seen some of my (male) friends go crazy about the exact colour of a car, though.

Lifthrasil: You might go all old-fashioned and write some poetry for her. (Or steal some from someone versed in love-poetry).

You know, a very wise (although fictional) teacher once said:
"What do we learn language for?"
'To communicate?'
"No. To woo women! ... Today we are going to talk about Shakespeare."
Oh captain my captain!

Piranjade: My husband has protanomaly so he cannot properly distinguish between red and green hues, the lighter the colour the harder for him to see it properly. He once wanted to buy a light green shirt but was looking at light pink shirts all the time.

RaggieRags: This might explain why I've seen so many pink shirts on men.
Sadly it does not :( Some people actually think that these "pig coloured" shirts look good

Lionel212008: Well, she asked me out in the first place.We are opposites and yea we do like each other. She does have a quirky sense of humor and she does get me.....In a way she understands me way better than even my own family.It's a bit freakish. I on the other hand, can't seem to read her that well ....even though she is the talkative one.
Then I would recommend that you keep the personality that you had before she asked you out. If you have a hard time reading her, I would really recommend that you refrain from that type of jokes though, it is far too easy for them to cross the line between "slightly mean but funny" and "insulting".
And a talkative person can be hard to read, it all depends on how much the person actually shows of itself, not how much it says. Sometimes people talk a lot in order to cover things up.

I don't think that I should post this here but it is unlikely that she is gonna read this.

It's a bit complex. We just started dating but I couldn't meet her for a few weeks after our first few dates (we hit it off well) since I started off with a new job .We were in constant touch though. Everything was pretty good until last week. I was gonna go with her to this wedding but had to cancel at the last moment cause something came up. Next thing I know - she has pics with a couple of guys and she is flirting with this one bloke in particular. A really gross looking one.... I asked my friend to apprise me about the whole situation since she was with her - she tells me that its nothing and they are just friends. It's driving me nuts though....

OP, instead of wasting time on a gaming forum asking for advice on how to make yourself sound awesome to the lady in question, why don't you tell her instead why you think that she is awesome? I mean, you just pretty much stated the reasons a few posts above.

All this bullshit about how men can't understand women is baffling, I mean we are the same species and most of us are pretty down to earth about our needs and desires. Call the girl in question, apologise for being flaky last week, and tell her you would like to meet up again. She probably wants a boyfriend who can sometimes be funny and quirky, not a comedian who can never be sincere.

I would recommend asking her instead, you know?

There's nothing wrong with being up-front about it.

Remember: men have to beg; all women have to do is say yes. :-) But seriously, does she consider you exclusive? Are you actually a couple or just getting together and having some fun? Is she looking for something steady? Are you? If you're not aiming at the same goal, you're probably going to have lots of these moments, unfortunately.

I have told her that a gazillion times. I suppose I know what I need to do here....

Just be honest with her. Tell her how you feel or just open up your feelings. Don't be sweet now because you woo her, then you got what you want and all your sweetness is gone.

I hope for the best to the both of you.

Edit: typos.

tinyE: I myself have always had a problem talking to girls. It would seem every time I would approach one I would get disoriented, confused; I'd have trouble breathing, my heart would start pounding out of control, I'd start shaking. For a long time I thought it was nerves but I Iooked into it and it turns out it was just the pepper spray.
The funniest thing I've read in a while. Thank you for some positive humour! :D


P.S.:
I recommend you to read a "Concise Guide to Successful Seduction of Girls and Women". It only has 7247 pages.

RaggieRags: Actually, men are much more likely to be color blind than women. I remember reading an article once claiming women generally do see different shades of color better, especially red.
Yes, men are more likely to be colorblind, but the cultural/language aspect is still in place for non-colorblind folks. Red and green are common culprits as they're the most likely defective cones for colorblind people. Only a very small percentage of colorblind people cannot see blue, and even for the fully colorblind it's easy to tell light shades from dark shades simply by contrast/saturation. (The colorblind are often used for camouflage research for that very reason.)

The general situation, though, is much as JMich (or P1na) described, with interest/attention/vocabulary determining responses but the visual input is the same.

To all of you saying the Lionel is wasting time asking for advice on a gaming forum, I just want to say "good job for being the usual fuckers who perpetuate the image of the eternally single and socially inept geek".

I know this might come to a surprise to some, but you can both be on a gaming forum and have an active social and sexual life. Heck, some of the members are even married.

Lionel212008: Suggestions then. I just want to ask her out over the weekend....I could just call her but I am too lazy to do that.I want to send in a text that would be awesome....Since I flaked out last week.
avatar
Zolgar: One:
Now, unless you really have a "text" relationship: FUCKING CALL HER. Especially after flaking out on her last week. Most girls like being called.. and I would think that, if you're really interested in her, you would like actually talking to her... radical idea, I know.

Two:
You know her better than we do. Does she genuinely like an idiotic sense of humor? If so, by all means, say something highly stupid and potentially insulting. If not, or you're not sure, DON'T, not if you want to keep her as some semblance of a girlfriend- especially since (once again) you flaked on her.

Remember one thing, goofshit sarcastic humor doesn't always translate in text form. When you say something like
"Hey baby, I saw an Ostrich the other day and it reminded me of you.." in real life, you're probably going to have the telltale signs of joking around.. In text, not so much.
Uh... this!

Using "active...sexual life" and "married" in the same line is a contradiction in terms.

Jesus, bit of a nerve hit there? I think the comments about asking for advice on a gaming forum were due to the fact the the OP was acting as if the "wooing" of this girl was like some sort of game in and of itself. I think it would be fair to say that the tone of the initial post was slightly juvenile, although the OP has since revealed that he was just feeling slightly vulnerable because he thought he had blown his chance with the lady in question.
