I'm Possibly in love, and I DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE. Logical Thread, Huh?
First order of business:
Why this thread should be allowed to live without being BALETED:
-I've learned a lot from you guys, especially Andrew.
-It's completely unrelated to past events.
-SOME people have put too much effort into me to not be able to see how I use what I've learned.
-Others may just want to see how it's done in the future.
If you don't care about my personal life/ teenage hormones/ face, you can go ahead and gtfo of my thread. Sorry to be harsh, but seriously.
AHEM. Now that only the people who care remain...
From now on, I'll be using name/place substitutes so if for some reason this thread is found, no one has any idea who I'm actually talking about.
Let's call her...Zelda.
Now. Zelda is a student who's over to learn at my school from a different European country. You know what that means...She doesn't know about my past, so she has nothing to judge me on. It's basically getting a fresh sheet of paper here, except I'm writing in pen, so how I "write" is going to be very important.
She will be going home, as I understand, after this schoolyear. Therefore, I can not possibly win this situation, right? Wrong. The objective here is to get her to be my date at a school dance! It's good practice, a test of your advice, it has a nice reward, and if I mess up, it won't matter! It's perfect.
So, here's the deal-i-o so far: I've already set up a working friendship with her! How good am I? On the 2nd day I knew her, I broke the ice easily; she's in my science class. We have a double period of science sometimes, and on those days, we get to roam the halls for a break between them. She always walks with me between those periods. I even kind of stayed behind today, to see if she actually likes walking with me, and she looked around for me (very good sign!). I've hinted that I'd like to hang out sometime, and she's always agreeable. I've got this in the bag, right?
Here's the negative part of going after a hot chick: compe-fucking-tetion. There's at least two other guys already who have seen the opportunity I have as well. They seem to be doing just as well as I am (one even got her to go to a party).
But, all aside, I know she's already picked someone inside of her mind. Let's hope it's me.

Aside from that, I don't mind these threads, but this seriously isn't the place for it, there are enough people here who find it obnoxious that I would avoid posting them. If you don't need advice don't post. It seems to me you have this in the bag anyways so there is no point in asking about it in a place where you are likely to be reprimanded.
care to much = incorrect
too calculated = correct
'To' and 'too' are different words, but they're spoken the same. These are called homonyms. There are many homonyms that people often confuse. Lead/led, to/too, their/there/they're, and whose/who's are some examples.
'To' is often a preposition. It indicates a direction, whether that direction is concrete or abstract. It can also be used in a few other ways, "used to", "going to". I don't know exactly the name for this construction, but it's easy enough to understand.
'Too', on the other hand, indicates an excess, or is synonymous with 'also'. In your case, you say 'to much' when really it should be 'too much' because you're indicating an excess of care.
:tmyk:
And I that Carter's just looking at it very analytically.. it's obvious that he's not going to marry this girl, so he's just looking for a short term relationship to have fun. You could call that practice.
Well if she happens to like Zelda and comics, she just might type in "Zelda comic" in Google, Then it is possible she may pick the first link that comes up, which is strangely titled "Zelda Comic - By Mario Panighetti (updated Mondays)". Then she is only 4 clicks away from this thread.
Interesting.....
Why zc? What if she likes pennys and racers?
I am fully aware of the difference between the two, it's also a simple an common error to not press the key hard enough and miss an "o".
I agree. It's a dick move.
2. Personally I have no problem with these threads. I personally am only this open to my close friends, people I know, but hey, whatever you're comfortable with.
3. I think asking her out is a great idea, but you're going about it the completely wrong way. Now obviously when reading this online, it is open to misinterpretation, but the impression I have is one of little respect. You seem to see her as nothing more than a method to grind your dating skill. It sounds like you intend to take her out on a few dates, see what happens, but with no concern for her personal feelings. And that's not too smart. If you think of her like practice, I guarantee you'll treat her like practice, and it's only a matter of time before you say something stupid that hints at this. You should never say anything about a girl you like that you wouldn't tell to her face.
When I was in high school I did what you're considering, I took a hot exchange student to a dance. Now my motivations were a bit different. I didn't see it as practice, nor did I do it with the intent to get in her pants. I did it because we were friends, and I wanted her to experience more American culture and student life. I admit I liked her, and I was willing to start something if she was interested, but I pretty much went by her own motivations, since she was the exchange student. She didn't show interest in dating anyone here, so I didn't push it.
If you want to take her just to hang out, then that's good. If by practice, you mean flirt (joke around, make her laugh, etc), then that's perfectly alright. You're allowed to grind your flirting skill without being a dick, because that's mostly harmless. If she has a fun time with you, then you've been a good American host, and you will have given her good memories to have for her life.
If you're actually interested in dating her, then that is okay too, but you need to be prepared for what happens when she leaves. If she's one of those girls who likes to fool around with no commitment, and if you're a guy who can do that (I personally can't), then by all means have fun with her until she leaves, and then go your separate ways. But if she's willing to keep something up long distance after she leaves, you need to be man enough to do the same. She's a person too, and she has feelings.
Enough of the world hates America as it is. Do as I do, and try to make it better little by little.
You see, this is the unnecessary pedantic linguistic elitism that makes you so awesome, man
