Man you have no idea. This happens second day of freshman year: hot girl sits next to me and about halfway through class, girl looks over, taps me on shoulder, hands me paper that says "Hi I'm X, what's your name?" so I write my name on it and that's it. Nothing else happened, because I didn't do anything. Class ended and she hung around a bit while I dilly dallied, not paying any attention at all, and then she left, because I didn't realize she was trying to flirt with me.

siggghhhhhhhh It would seem that even a 2x4 upside the head wouldn't have helped me that day.

This is painful to read. Not in the sense that I feel superior to you, rather in the sense that I know exactly what you're saying. I didn't get the blatant note, so maybe I'm more in the clear than you, but still...

That's why they invented Facebook, right?

That's exactly why.

Not sure why this would get downvoted... Seems to be a pretty clear synopsis of the rising action of this film.

I'm pretty awkward and oblivious but I would have at least fucked it up by talking to her. Maybe, at least in my head, well, I might have done what you did, but I would like to think not, but I can't be sure. I feel your pain.

Good Guy Greg:

Cute girl sits down next to you

Don't do anything, she's probably not interested in being hit on in class.

[–]larabar 4 points5 points ago

Or she's feeling awkward and just wishes SOMEBODY would talk to her. I haven't spoken a single word to anyone in my class this semester. If someone would initiate conversation I would be grateful.

Don't look at her or talk to her. You don't want to appear desperate.

"Don't start freaking out. That's what they want you to do..."

I wonder if cute girls know how terrifying they are? They're usually totally friendly, but it still takes me a while to believe that they are not mentally adding me to their list of weird-looking idiots...

Dear god. Every fucking grade 10 Biology class. I had gym right before it, so I was sweaty and probably smelt like sweaty-fat-guy-nastiness. One day she starts talking to me about tampons and I'm freaking the fuck out.

No one ever sits next to me. Why wouldn't they want to sit front and center.

[–]esotericlight 1 point2 points ago

Don't over think it, that's the fear.

offer her gum. then tell her the time.

[–]B_For_Bandana -1 points0 points ago

Explain.

Yeah. I thought it was asking for a pencil?

If one has gum to offer, it's a good way to start conversation. Telling her the time was a poorly realized reference to Superbad (McLovin: I told her what time it was). I just felt it was something SAP might do if conversation didn't evolve naturally out of the gum offering. Example:

SAP: would you like a piece? :offers gum:

Gorgeous woman: why, yes, I would. Thank you :takes gum, winks, returns focus to present activity:

SAP: ...it's 10:43... :pokerface:

Making fun of your professor always seems to bode well with the cuties... But who am I kidding, not like I do anything beyond that! hah.
