Yet another girl post...

After reading Vlads post I guess it is my turn to post my story? I am starting to get back into the dating game and just yesterday I approached a girl and somehow got her name and number. I was extremely shy and nervous, i believe i said "uhh, hi, im really bad at this,,,, uhh i noticed you at the bank machine and was wondering if you would wanna hang out sometime"
so somehow that worked and now I am wondering when is a good time to call her? I am not one who wants to play games and was wondering does it really matter when? I just called her now a day later and no one picked up. Haha, so whens a good time to call? Im such a little boy

I generally wait about 2 days before calling, any quicker and you seem to jumpy (why not have made plans right there, if you are just going to call her 5 hours later) and if you wait any longer it starts to seem like she isn't worth your time

I guess I was in over my head and didn't even think about planning something out. This is the first move ive made since my very very long relationship.

trust me, the key is to be confident on ur date and on the phone. I know it is awkward and weird at first but always keep ur cool and be the man. Girls like a confident man, p.s be a gentleman

DUDE! You actually TALKED...to a GIRL!? You are already 100% better at this crap than me. I don't think I've EVER had the guts to approach a random girl.

Something that i find helps me when im nervous is to think about this quote, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. " Mark Twain

Personally it helps a TON.

Thanksgiving? I would have thought you didn't celebrate that since you're Canadian! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

*googles Canadian Thanksgiving*

Ah! So indeed you canucks have your own Thanksgiving celebration, heh. I did find it a little odd thinking you meant you'd do something with her at the end of November [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Good luck bro!

Well, she called YOU! That's a good sign! Glad to hear you got it all worked out. Good luck on your date! CONFIDENCE!

Sidenote to men: *most girls find it kind of cute when a guy is nervous "a little"*

Take it easy, call her in 2-3 days *so that she still remembers you*, have something in mind to do before you call her. A lunch date or some coffee/tea would be a nice way to start. It is in the middle of the day, both of you have things to do afterwards, it would only be an hour and if it feel ackward, you guys can find an easy reason to cut it short: *have to get back to the office, have a doctor's appointment, etc*

Relax, ask simple questions to find out more about what things she likes to do: food, sports, hobbies, movies, etc. Give that kind of info about yourself too. Share something funny you read on the news, enjoy the day. No matter what happens, you are out and about taking your chances and that is fun! At the end of the date, let her know that you have enjoyed yourself and that you would like to do this again some other time. See what she says.
