<p>As far as letting her get to know the real you… what are your interests? Do you have any interests? Sure you do, everybody does. Ask her what her interests are. Do you share any interests?</p>
<p>I guess you can probably abuse MyBook and FaceSpace and your ITwitters and PhoneBerries or whatever the crap you guys have nowadays to get this kind of dirt without much legwork. If you share interests in music, go to a concert or swap CDs or something. Use your imagination. Most people like to eat, so you can talk about each other over lunch or dinner.</p>
<p>Also, girls like a sense of humor, generally speaking. Are you funny? Make some jokes. If she’s in engineering, she probably appreciates dry humor, which you’re bound to have in spades. Self deprecation works best, as long as you don’t make it too convincing.</p>
<p>^ Now we’re getting somewhere. Chicks love that. Also, if she starts talking about other guys, tell her you won’t talk to her until she makes you a sandwich.</p>
<p>Personality>Profession. If you’re a prick, or arrogant, or boring and hes not, he wins. If he’s a drugged up abusive jerk and you’re not, you win.</p>
<p>“In summary, it sounds like she’s either (a) interested in him and not in you, or (b) playing one or both of you. These seem to be the most likely cases in my way of looking at it.”</p>
<p>have you asked any other girls out? i’m asking this because you keep making these gf threads which leads me to believe you’ve rarely asked out girls before…</p>
<p>What is the point of trying to impress some girl? If you have to work that hard to impress her, then chances are she isn’t really the girl for you anyway. Of course there are exceptions, but generally you shouldn’t have to bend over backwards just to get a girl to look at you.</p>
<p>Don’t start out by going to some concert with her you don’t have any interest in. That will just look fake. It will be pretty obvious that you aren’t really interested and only asked her to get with her. Stick to things you have in common. If you don’t have anything in common that you know of, then try talking to her. There just about has to be some sort of common ground, no matter how small. Start by asking her to get coffee, play frisbee in the park, go to a movie, go to a sporting event, go to dinner or any number of other things that you would both enjoy. There is no worse way to do something that you will be miserable doing just to impress her… save that for when you are married!</p>
