    Re: Somebody help. —Jodi Neal
   Well, here's some insite from a woman. If there is a mall with a movie theater in your town, and a movie presently showing there that is a light comedy, just go up to her in the hall and ask if she would like to see with you. Something like... Hi, (...) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) All seriousness aside, I think you ought to ask her if she wants to check out your LEGO collection! Uh, what was the question again?

        Re: Somebody help. —Stephen Jacquot
     (...) Consider organizing a mixed group to do the same thing. Makes it less of a date, and more just guys hanging out, therefore less threatening to all involved, and less potential for disaster. If you and this girl hit it off, then you can worry (...)

         Re: Somebody help. —Mike Stanley
     (...) Definitely. These things work too, just make sure you stack the deck in you favor. And be open to the idea that you might just end up liking one of the other girls more once you see them all out in a non-school environment. :) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) Hey Ryan, you sound like a real prize. I can tell you have a great future ahead of you relating to women. Now why don't you pack up your little pubescent Q&A and go back to RTL like a good boy, or at the least .people. Your inane blathering (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      John, what's your problem? I'd agree it's rather unfortunate that Ryan hasn't responded to the gentle suggestions that .people would be a better place to discuss this.

           Re: Somebody help. —Matthew Miller
       (...) Ouch. I hope you're feeling better about the world these days. I remember sixth grade as being a difficult time for me too. But now I'm old and wise (aka 24) and things are turning out very happily. So trust me: there's hope. (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)
