I'll definitely keep this thread going with updates. We're hanging out on Thursday so...we'll see from there
Active Ink Slinger
So, we went out last night. It went overall well; we got some drinks at a local place I knew of and we seemed to hit it off. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions and help...I really needed it hsha.
Active Ink Slinger
Well, I finally did it; this evening when I was out doing some late shopping...and she said yes for tomorrow night so hopefully everything well smile And yes I should have asked her out sooner

I'm not the best at this either but I'd strike up a conversation with her. I'd maybe ask for help. Saying something like, would you be able to help me pick out a shirt? (Or whatever) I've noticed you before, have you worked here long? Etc.

I could never be bold enough to to just ask her out abruptly.


That's not a bad idea. And thanks, now I know I'm not the only one

Man you have to grow enough of a backbone to be able to stand up and talk for yourself! The worst that can happen is this one person says no. If that should happen, you need to realize that there are at least a couple million other people in the world and you may need to give 2 or 3 of them a try also. This is just a day in your life, it ain't that big a deal. Just walk up and ask. In the month plus that we've been talking about this, I'll bet you 4 or 5 other guys have ask... You may already have missed your chance.


Yeah I know and I agree with you. But its difficult, especially for someone like myself who's been rejected before by someone they thought would say yes.

Time to cheer yourself on, bud. The less you think about it the better. Just do it.


I know, my best bet is just to not think about it and, as you say, just do it. I'm giving serious thought to that now

You're 25. Probably should be over the fear of rejection by now but like everything else, practice make's perfect. Think about it this way... If you don't swing the bat, you'll never hit a home run. Your fear of striking out doesn't prevent you from swinging the bat does it? In fact, you probably aren't too scared of striking out, because it's normal. Babe Ruth in his time had the most home runs but he also had the most strikeouts. Sure, rejection hurts, but it hurts less the more you practice asking chicks out. Just swing for the fences, the home runs will come.


It's not so much the fear of rejection; I've never been the most outspoken or outgoing person. I'd rather sit on the sidelines and cheer on whoever is at bat. I've always been that way, which is why I've never been good at this sort of thing

Vivien, that's a good idea. I'll definitely try it next time I'm in Target.

Simplyjohn, that would work too. I'm just not the type to go up to a woman and bluntly ask her out.

Magical, yeah but fear has a tendency to make me think twice alot.
Active Ink Slinger
Yeah I agree canuck, building a computer is fairly easy. That's why I'm taking the advice of some of the other posters though and using pcpartpicker.com I know they crosscheck parts so users can match up parts easier.

And yeah I'm going with a good power supply definitely
Active Ink Slinger
Yeah, I have but for me it was kind of different. We knew each other for some time before we worked together, and we ended up dating for about two years before we broke up.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have. I saw a few coworkers at a former job get together, and it got very messy afterward.
Active Ink Slinger
Thanks WellMadeMale, those links do seem helpful. Especially pcpartpicker; yeah, your reassons fro building one's own PC is part of the reason I want to do it.

Viven, so am I in regards to integrated motherboards. My parents had a computer where e sound chip on the motherboard failed and so the entire motherboard went out. And yeah, I plan to build a windows machine. There is alot to consider.
Active Ink Slinger
BDSM, I would but I'd rather build one myself.

Magic, thanks for the link, sorry for the trouble you had posting it.
Active Ink Slinger
For parts, yes. I plan to buy as many of the parts on Amazon.
Active Ink Slinger
I know but $500 to $800 is all I can spend right now. I do plan on upgrading it in the future though.
Active Ink Slinger
Majik, I plan to build it myself, and us it primarily for gaming and video editing
Active Ink Slinger
Yeah, I've found Rom's Hardware quite useful. Do you know what some of your son's other go-to sites were seeker? And yup, I've already bookmarked it haha.
Active Ink Slinger
I have both a laptop and (gifted) tablet; I always seem to find myself using the laptop though. Like Jessica said, I just prefer the noise of a laptop when I'm typing. Plus, while the tablet is good for doing simple things like searching the web, I still need a laptop for work. And writing on a tablet is way too hard.
Active Ink Slinger
Thanks Escape. I know someone who would google those same cheesy pick up lines; I also saw how they never worked haha.

Yeah, I'm just going to try being ypmyself when I ask her.
Active Ink Slinger
Thank you Dani.

Confidence is what a few friends have said I should show more of, but I'm not the most confident. And yeah, that's why I'm not sure about asking her out while she's working; I don't want to get her in trouble.
Active Ink Slinger
I'm trying to build a new computer (my old one is in need of a serious upgrade.) Anyone have any ideas for a good computer build for between $500 and $800 dollars?
Active Ink Slinger
I still play Age of Empires 2 whenever I get the chance; it's fun gut I will agree with serene that battling sucks
