Is this psycho?

    I'm not the smoothest in the world when it comes to women. I just finished an acting class on improv last night. After the class we had a little farewell thing. Throughout the class I got on well with this one girl and last night we were chatting the whole time. When we were leaving she hung back to walk with me. When it was time for us to say goodbye I went all Larry David (as usual), she made this slight move to give me a hug, I made a slight move to hug her then I froze and we ended up just looking at each other. I did my usual thing, I just said 'see ya again' and left. I didn't even get her number and there's no reason for me to see her again. I do know that she's in another acting class tonight.
    Heres the question, would it be a bit psycho/stalker of me to see if I could catch her on her way in to this class later and ask her for her number? I've been told by friends that themselves and probably guys all down the years have done crazier things to meet girls but it's just not something I'd normally do.
    I don't have anyone's number from the class so there is no other possible way.

    Yes do that! Similar advice in other posts, if she rejects you you've nothing to lose as you wont see her again. If you dont do it you'll regret it.

    Go for it :D

    Exactly -- you'll never know unless you try. If she likes you she'll be delighted you came by (I would be).
    go on - good luck pet

    "went all Larry David again".. i love that!.. i'm a big curb fan sorry..
    it sounds like she likes u man.. yr. plan doesn't seem psycho whatsoever.. good luck.. u've nothing to lose.. (maybe play it like richard lewis would instead of larry - he seems to get the ladies! :))

    Go for it Mister but some women are a wee bit suspicious of guys-based on previous negative experiences etc-an ex of mine was like that although she had good reason to be-she had a bad experience before we met.
    It's sad today that a guy is wary of going up to a girl and asking her out....it's a suspicious tense society at times.
    You go for it and the best of everything-by the way did you watch Hitch-Will Smith starred in it-a lot in it that is true about women!!!:D

    Go for it. Feel the fear and do it anyway, it'll be a rush.

    It would only be psycho if she turned you down and you turned up again next week to ask again. Which won't happen.

    Definitely not psycho. I'd be thrilled to bits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭deathstarkiller


    Thanks for the positive comments. Guess it's a go. It is terrible that in todays society you have to be so wary but seeing as I already know her I don't think she'll mind.
    I'm a 34 year old part time actor who never seems to act when it comes to women. :) It's been three years since I was in a relationship and it's not because I don't get chances it's because I usually just walk away. I over analyze everything to the point that I just don't do anything. I'm trying to change cause I'm sick of being on my own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 187 ✭✭the hero game


    yeh it's hard to overcome that natural shyness and overcoming the fear of rejection but in this case especially you have lareday made a strong positive impression so you really need to ride that wave and get in touch w. her..
    let us know how it goes.. from what u said originally, it def seems she'll be into u..

    So you gonna go in to meet her before her class??

    That's deadly :D

    Best of luck, hope it works out, from your first post it seems pretty positive though! :) If shes not interested however, you've lost nothing anyways and as you've said you get on with her so she won't take it badly at all!!

    YAY!! Go go go!!! :P

    It's great. I only actually got the first series on DVD recently and started watching it. Cracks me up cause I see myself in how in acts so many times.
    Thanks again everyone, I should have come on here before with my problems.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Oh go for it. If she likes you then its great and if she doesn't you never have to see here again, sounds perfect to me.

    From another girlie, I too would be thrilled to bits - the fact a guy would pluck up the courage to ask me for my number without being completely sure about how I felt....its lovely, go for it and best of luck...let us know how it goes..oooh I'm a hopeless romantic!! :D

    P.S. I guarantee she is at home bemoaning the fact to her friends that she is never going to see you ever again...bet I'm right


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Go for it, she may be left thinking that you weren't actually interested so finding out you are will probably make her day. You may even get lucky in that she will find the whole thing endearing and give you a second chance for that hug.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,582 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Go for it mate! She will probably be pleasantly suprised at your initiative.
    Use your acting, you have the power!

    Hope you have success! I'd be very flattered if that happened to me!
    As kowloon said, use the aul acting..this coming from a fellow actor! ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭Ho-Hum


    Best of luck! And make sure to let us know how you got on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    This is actually better than if you'd asked her the first time!

    Don't worry about being a bit awkward, afaik women seemed to like Hugh Grant in those movies where he's like that.

    As he was lampooned in Family Guy: "I...I...I wanted to tell you something...oh, but I seem to be so charmingly befuddled" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭deathstarkiller


    I was befuddled alright. :rolleyes:
    Her class was at 7 so I arrived at 6.30 and waited till 7.15 but I missed her. She was either extremely early, late or didn't go in. Oh well as silly as I felt hanging around I didn't get annoyed or down about it. In fact I was quite happy that I actually attempted something for once. It's more than I've done in a long time. I was in a play last week. The first I'd done in about 6 years and as scary as it was it has boosted my confidence quite a bit.
    I know our acting class are all meeting up again in 3 weeks so maybe I can try then but the moment may have passed by then. Anyway thank you everyone for the encouragement. Going by the comments there are more romantics out there than I thought. :D

    You're dead right there are quite few romantics out there (myself being one) and I really wanted you to meet her after but I guess life isn't like Hollywood. You should definitely try when your class meets up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,324 ✭✭✭✭Cathmandooo


    Aw no that's hard luck but fair play to you for the effort, big thumbs up :D If it's meant to be it'll happen ;)
