Not sure if this should go in GSYWTLO or not as it isn't really something I want to let out, but something I am curious about and want some opinions on... Okay, if I meet a girl in class or something I am too much of a wimp to just up and ask them out right away, or ask for their number either. I also would like to get to know them a bit better before making any obvious attempts to be sure I am into them as well. So I usually ask for an MSN instead as it is non intrusive and doesn't have as strong "I want to ask you for a date" connotations as a phone number (and also I don't have to work up the courage to actually call ). However, I am just wondering, how much should I talk to someone on MSN? I am also almost always online when not in class too...should I block her or ignore her every once in a while so she doesn't see me sitting online on a Friday night? Should I message her often? Or should I just begin trying to ask for facebooks or something so I can stay in touch with them but not have them see when I am online/offline and such? Any tips? I'm 18 years old, second year of university.
Well...leaving your MSN on usually wont hurt anything because if she DOES ask you can just say you leave it on and it doesn't automatically set to away or idle. but yeah MSN is a great way because you can just get to know her. what sort of Music or things she likes to do or listen to. You can kinda see how her Attitude is, not like some snobby person who says stuff like "yeah your cool" or just remarks that could be taken as her saying "i dont wanna talk to you". but instead you and her actually having a conversation about things you both like and stuff. works for me lol
I doubt she'd ask though. She'd likely just think "wow, this guy's a loser online on a Friday night". But I guess if she could see me online, she would probably be online on a Friday night too so it might not be so bad lol. In general, it just seems a little worrisome to be seen online ALL the time, know what I mean? They might think of me as really boring.
well I'm online ALL THE TIME, my MSN is always on and if I'm at home..I'm on the computer, and I'm at home A LOT That doesn't necessarily mean your boring, I'm online a lot because I'm an Online gamer and i mess around with Photoshop and Video editing.
Yeah, I just don't know if a lot of girls would be like "Oh my God you know photoshop? Hawt!" or "You can Counter my Strike anyday, if you know what I mean!" Like, most computer hobbies aren't known to be really exciting to girls lol.
I did this and we've been together 4 years this past June. Just be friendly with her and talk to her for awhile until you're both comfortable with each other, this is a good way to see if you're compatible with her.
Wow, you really do use photoshop? Now that's hawt. So wanna go out on a Saturday night? And being on MSN for all the time doesn't mean your a loser or anything; I know lots of people who leave their computer on for days. Though some log off from their MSN accounts; but I know that my sister practically never logs off even when she's not there, on a vacation or sleeping.
Well I'm not a love doctor or anything (lol), but one advice from me would be to keep it cool. Don't rush into anything. Just talk to her about studies, life, movies and stuffs like that. This should help you get to know her better .
To know someones online all the time you have to be online yourself so... I wouldn't really worry about it.
All the time Its a good way to know someone. I think its also good to not ask what she likes. Just start a conversation about nothing and you'll end up having a great conversation. That usually works for me
EXACTLY...one of my now best friends that is a Girl...we started out basically on did you know im a pirate? no thats awesome yeah i know lol Randomness is great for MSN
Seconded. I've been able to become MUCH better friends with alot of girls because of MSN, which then helps when you see each other in the real world.
My boyfriend and I met eachother online (we went to same college, same department.. computing), he asked for my msn, random conversations took wind. I've known him for about 14 months and we have been going out together a year on tuesday So I have nothing against MSN
MSN messenger and everyone who's gotten a date through it gets internetz. ha. i've yet to join that prestigious list ... but, yeah, i commend those who have.
