I dont do this often enough - Edit p.s sorry for being whiney

Well there goes that , we just became facebook buddies, she's listed as in a relationship with a guy in saskatoon.

Serriously every single girl I know is in a relationship, it sucks balls.

p.s sorry for being whiney
---------------------------------------------------------
As a leaving present my work gave me $150 in vouchers for the most expensive restaurant in town.

So I need to ask a girl out, dont get me wrong its a good thing and I need to do this more but because of working the hours I did I barely had time to be friends with my old friends let alone meet new people and now I leave on the 16th.

There is a girl I want to ask but now I'm over thinking things, like should I ask her in person or is the phone acceptable?

(we live in the same accomodation).

crap I'm useless at stuff like this.

IN PERSON

ask her to have lunch or something first, foot in the door, then when you guys are havin' fun pop the question.

'want to go to dinner with me at this nice place?'

and whatever she replies with, be like 'yeah my work gave me these vouchers...so...yeah.'

mhm mhm!

Jellyes on Dec 03 '08 at 4:42pm

never the phone.

never.

you might as well leave her a sticky note on her car if you go the phone route.

shirtflirt on Dec 03 '08 at 4:42pm

slip a note under her door

very romantic

Tess Fondie on Dec 03 '08 at 4:43pm

I agree with jelleys until the whole my work gave me these vouchers part. thats sounds like "well, I'd never take you here, but i have free money so why not"

Phiffer on Dec 03 '08 at 4:44pm

Do you want to go out to supper with me?

[ ] Yes

[ ] No

[ ] Maybe

Jellyes on Dec 03 '08 at 4:45pm

oh, well I guess that sort of depends. if she seems weirded out, like 'you're taking this too quickly' or 'we're just friends,' play it off that way.

if she's really into it, keep it a secret:)

Phiffer on Dec 03 '08 at 4:46pm

just dont tell her you got it for free and say you need to pay with debit then take the gift card. Is it the Keg?

Tess Fondie on Dec 03 '08 at 4:47pm

I'm a sucker for notes like those

TheInfamousBaka on Dec 03 '08 at 4:48pm

In person if you can. :) Though the whole slipping a note under her door is a nice idea, if she knows you well enough that it wouldn't be creepy.

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 4:53pm

We know each other fairly well but we dont hang out that much but like I said a large part of that was to do with work, I was getting up at 6am everyday, finishing at 5pm but only getting back at 6pm, napping for an hour then hanging out with friends until midnight.

I kind of want to just play it off as casual, the fact is I go back to the uk on december 16th, the earliest I could get back out here is next september.

Wallace Inc. on Dec 03 '08 at 4:53pm

In person for sure. BUT, make sure to shuffle your feet and whatever you do, DO NOT make direct eye contact. Stare at the floor, her chest, anywhere else while asking the question.

shirtflirt on Dec 03 '08 at 4:53pm

im telling you girls like letters

they like to read stuff i guess

Phiffer on Dec 03 '08 at 4:55pm

what restaurant?

sonmi on Dec 03 '08 at 4:58pm

i guess if you want to make it casual, you can mention the vouchers. then she won't feel pressure on account of you paying for everything?

shirtflirt on Dec 03 '08 at 5:13pm

don't tell her anything

hand the voucher to the maitre d before hand

make sure she doesn't go over her allowance

and you'll be a pimp

SnakeMan on Dec 03 '08 at 5:14pm

first dates are not for fancy restaurants.

DaddyDom on Dec 03 '08 at 5:17pm

chloroform

iDanSimpson on Dec 03 '08 at 5:18pm

KBShakedown on Dec 03 '08 at 4:41pm

Go for in person if you get the chance.

Remember that the worst that can happen is you get turned down and then you go cry and eat ice cream.

$150 worth of iced cream :)

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 5:27pm

p.s its not the keg, its called the diplomat, most things on the menu are $30 and up.

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 5:30pm

So do I mention the vouchers or not? we'd be going to the most expensive/best restaurant in town, I dont want to seem way over the top for a first date, part of me thinks it'll seem like a romantic gesture but part of me thinks it would be too much.

DaddyDom on Dec 03 '08 at 5:38pm

you can be all suave and say "i have the vouchers for dinner, and here are YOUR vouchers for buttsecks"

Malcolm Man on Dec 03 '08 at 5:42pm

I'd mention the vouchers. That way it can be cool and relaxed.

Also, I would think if you didn't mention them from the outset, and then you pulled them out, she'd be all like, "Ah, that's kinda tacky. No sexy bum bum for him!"

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 5:44pm

Yeah thats what I was thinking, honnestly I'm not expecting anything to happen other than having a nice night I have two weeks left here and shes got exams.

Plus this is all based on the assumption she'll say yes.

Phiffer on Dec 03 '08 at 6:04pm

when you going to ask?

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 6:09pm

No idea, possibly tonight, my friends and I have a film showing and she might be there but otherwise I dont know.

See our building is set out into girls and guys floors, and you only have access (with a thob) to the floor your on, any other floor and you have to ring someone on that floor to let you up.

So at this time of night I cant just run into her and ask.

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 6:10pm

Ok had an idea I'm gonna do a bit of a ring around to check people are coming tonight.

Phiffer on Dec 03 '08 at 6:48pm

high five

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 9:54pm

the idea didnt work, she wasnt in probably at a class.

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 11:03pm

bad news bump.

Lucretia Mott on Dec 03 '08 at 11:08pm

Is it my ex boyfriend from Saskatoon?

lexrecon on Dec 03 '08 at 11:12pm

Why not have a converstation about something completely unrelated. Once you start calming down and feeling like you're comfortable mention that you got these vouchers for dinner and you can't blow it on some dude. Cool, casual and collected. If you're stressed she'll see it and you lose the whole confidence thing which is number 1. good luck!

stubby43 on Dec 03 '08 at 11:22pm

Thanks for the advice lex and I really do appricate it but shes got a boyfriend so now I have to find someone else to ask, otherwise I'm wasting it on a guy.

Hadley, maybe theres not that many people in saskatoon.

stubby43 on Dec 04 '08 at 1:26am

now I dont know what to do with the vouchers, agh this sucks.

P.S thank you everyone for being sympathetic and reading my whiney blog.

stubby43 on Dec 04 '08 at 1:39am

ha maybe, guyd arent exactly amazing either, maybe we just all suck.

I'll probably be fine tommorow at the end of the day, unless I came out for a holiday it would be atleast a year before I could properly move out here and this would be completly dependant on getting a work visa, getting a job and finding an appartment (on and saving up �3000 as proof that I'll be able to support myself).

It would be a very long distant relationship.

Phiffer on Dec 04 '08 at 6:36am

it would be funny if it was my friend in Saskatoon

Tonteau on Dec 04 '08 at 6:39am

"Serriously every single girl I know is in a relationship"

Ahh, stubby you legend. You always make me laugh.
