OT -ish: Any Advice?

Submitted by ThePonyConquerer on July 29th, 2019 at 8:33 PM

Listen, there’s this girl I like, only problem is that she doesn’t know that I like her.

I mean, we’re not really friends as in more as acquaintances with each other but recently I’ve started to like her.

Of course the problem is that not only am I shy around girls I like but that she may be in a relationship with someone whom I know.

Look listen, if you mods want to delete this post then that’s fine with me but I could really use some advice for this particular moment of my life.

So... any advice?

(OP probably should mention that she’s a Sparty.)

Ask her out. If she says no, move on to plan b, which is another girl. Show her you won’t be defined by her rejection, that you are the catch, not her. At least that was my approach when I met my now wife 17 years ago. 

either that or just send her a dick pic. I hear that is normal now.

While I'm ninety five percent sure you're joking about the dick pic thing I do think it is important to explain to OP that a dick pic is definitely NOT what ANYONE wants to see EVER.  Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should you EVER send a dick pic even if explicitly asked by the receiver.  It is likely that said receiver of dick pic is only going to make fun of you with her friends when she shows them your mediocre penis.

The one (and I mean ONE) exception to this rule is if you possess the most beautiful dick in the history of mankind.  I'm talking a massively sized member that shoots rainbows instead of ejaculate.  Something that anyone is sure to be impressed by, even straight dudes.  That is the only circumstance you should even think about sending a dick pic.  And even then, only after being asked by said lady of much repute.

Also consult one of the latest episodes of the HBO show "Euphoria" for how to properly photograph your dick.  They make a lot of good points.  I cannot link the video because it features many pics of dicks.  Simply search "euphoria dick pic" in youtube and you will find what I speak of.

I fear I've said too much and will subsequently be negged to Bolivia but I think more dudes need to know that no one wants to see your D.

I need more info before dispensing wise advice. What makes you think she’s in a relationship, and how well do you know this other person who might be involved with her?

So you like this girl, you are friends with her and you are friends with the guy whom you think is in a relationship with her, but you don’t know if your friend is in a relationship with the girl you like?   Have you thought about asking your “friend?”

And I have a “friend” who once made out with a tranny.

I'm sure she's a great person. Determine her relationship status before you engage in some online conversation and see if it goes anywhere.

However, you can't ever let her know that she's your #1 choice. She will lose interest once she knows she has all the power. 

Assuming you're in your twenties, my advice to you as a newly married 30 year old is get on the dating app du jour and sleep around as much as possible. Tinder was legit 5 years ago and led me to my wife, but younger people I work with frown upon it today.

We all have those love interests that don't click, and that sucks. Don't ever put anyone on a pedestal.  No matter how attractive someone is, they shit and fart just as bad if not worse than you. The key is to find someone whose farts you can stomach the longest.

First, figure out if she’s in a relationship. If yes, move on. It’s a dick move to steal another’s girl. If not, great. Practice what you want to say in a mirror (or with friends so that you know that what you’re saying is not weird) and then just say it. Longer you wait, the more daunting it gets. If she reciprocates, great. If not, at least you can move on with no regrets and know what would happen instead of wondering what if all the time.

Closed mouths don’t get fed...if you really like her let it be known. However, if she’s indeed in a relationship with someone you know, confirm  your suspicions and move accordingly.

There's only one way to find out OP. The next time you're alone with her take off your pants and start playing with yourself. If she gets turned on, THEN YOU ARE IN!!! If she's not turned on then you have your answer. Either way, be confident. You make a move you have to own it regardless of the outcome.

And on a more serious note, if you're actually looking for advice, so much of it depends on details missing in the OP.  Are you in high school?  Are you 85 and the lady might be seeing your neighbor in the next room? Somewhere in between?  One honest ProTip:  Don't sweat being shy and don't let it hold you back, as difficult as that may be.  We don't get a second round on the golf course of life, so meet people, talk to them. Listen to their stories and tell them yours.  Even if this girl doesn't work out, your life will be richer as a result.

Step 1: Take her to the store with you.

Step 2: Buy a box of magnum condoms, thus demonstrating you have a magnum dong.

Step 3: Pay with a wad of hundreds. 

Step 4: Plan the wedding.

If you ask her on a date and pay for it, she and all her friends will build a statue of you and throw a parade in your honor.

Look, like many others have stated, figure out the relationship status,  if she's not in  a serious relationship then:

- go up to her and say hi, my name is....

- then say you just wanted to stop by to introduce yourself.

- smile, look into her eyes and not at other body parts like a creepy guy would do.

- be confident, women respect that and can spot it from a mile away.

- ask her if she would like to hang out sometime and maybe get to know each other. 

- it can be for coffee, going to a pub and having a couple of drinks and playing some pool, it doesn't need to be an expensive dinner.

It's not rocket science, simplicity works great and women appreciate it.

You snooze you lose, let her know you like her, two results are possible she says she likes you, or she says she doesn't.  Once it's clear which one move on from there appropriately.  Better (IMHO) to know now than to agonize over it.  My Son in Law met my daughter in 2015 at a Church retreat and was immediately attracted to her.  He approached her said he was attracted to her.  They started a relationship with him in Texas her in SoCal.  He even told his Dad in 2015 I've met the woman I'm going to marry.  In 2017 they married and are expecting their first child (and my first grand child ( a boy) on 9/1/19.   Be bold son, life is too short not to be clear on things and then move on from what happens.

I would say don't settle down until life makes you settle down. If you have a steady stream of girls willing to bang you with no strings attached, there's no reason to enter a relationship with strings attached. There is no better feeling than being single and rich. Anyone who tells you differently has never experienced it.

1. Go to her social media page and "like" some old post of her in a bathing suit.

2. Tell her your wallet is full of hundred dollar bills and it hurts your back to sit on it but you can't put your wallet in your front pocket because your shaft is taking up too much real estate (Chris D'Elia bit).

3. Hit on her mom. 

 

 

Results may vary. 

 

Edit: here's my serious answer. What's the best thing that can happen? What's the worst thing that can happen? What's the most likely outcome?
