Need some help with a girl

BullDozer · 09-07-2004, 03:26 AM

Ok so here's the situation. I've been an AFC all my life and God help me sometimes looking back on all the opportunities that I've missed I want to shoot myself (not really). Ok so I read Sauce-Head's thread on how to get girls (Sauce-Head if you're out there I could use some fb). Here is my story/

A couple months ago I met this chick just walking along in some Army Base. We were going to the Barracks so she introduced herself and her friend. We got to talking about MOS (jobs) and stuff and she mentioned how hard my course was and where our next duty station was and lo and behold we were going to the same place. Looking back I now know how AFC it was of me to not attempt and close then and there seeing as how they introduced themselves.

Fast forward 2 months.

We are now both in the same duty station in the same Barracks. I saw some blonde hottie coming in with a huge ass TV and me being a nice guy insisted I help (I didn't really insist i just kinda took over). We got upstairs with her uncle and she introduced herself again. One more chance to close, one more strike.

Couple days later we have a raid (common thing in the army). We talk some more. I talk negatively about stuff here at our duty station (a no-no I now know) and the conversation stops when we're allowed to return to our rooms.

past weekend i'm coming in from a detail and to go up to my room when I notice my key is missing, lo and behold she's sitting right where my key was so i turn around and approach her with a smile (she was making eye contact and smiling - and was probably shocked to have me just ask if the key was mine, which it was and another missed opportunity. keep in mind that during the last week i've tried to ignore her sometimes to make her think i'm not interested (dunno if that's a good idea or not)

so here i am wondering about how to go about approaching her. i was thinking about mentioning that me and a couple of friends were going to the museum this weekend. i think i can get the small talk stuff down (been practicing) but i dont know how to go about getting the cocky/funny part down or how to "connect" with her emotions

i think she's a real "friendly" girl. how friendly i don't know but i could use some good feedback

i'm a real book-smart guy - which i thinks he kind of picked up on how I don't know but when it comes to closing with women i really suck (no confidence, 21 years old and never dated isn't that sad?)

saw her at the gym, i think she was supposed to meet some guy so that definitely kills any ONE-itis fantasies i might have developed

Bro ,I would suggest that you just confront her and ask her out,if you think that she might like you just ask ,if she says no then just move on there's no harm in trying.

Mabye you could try spending more time with her on base,just hanging out together,going to the gym ect.....try with that angle.

I hope I helped.
