I met a girl

    I am 25. I met a girl the other night that I go on great with. We talked to each other all evening. Then we spent an hour talking in the peeing rain for about an hour outside her place. So, We were getting on brilliantly

    Anyways, I didnt have the courage to ask her for her number (I am not experienced with women). I am a coward. So, now what? I know where she lives & works but I dont want to turn into a stalker. But I would love to see this girl again. Even if we didnt "hit it off", I think she would be a great friend.

    Write her a note saying that you really liked her and feel silly you didn't ask her for her number and give her your number asking her to give you a call if she cares to.

    Pop said note into her letterbox.

    Would you have any excuse to go to where she works? And if you had business there you could pop by and say 'hey was just getting X' (or whatever), 'how're you?' and then progress to 'I totally forgot to swap numbers the other night - here I'll give you mine and sure you can text/call' (not those words exactly but better lol) and that way if she's interested she'll call/text, if not, no loss.
    The other thing is you could ask when you see her would she like to go to lunch / few drinks after work.

    EDIT - actually I like the above answer by cnoc

    If you met her in a pub or club or something then chances are that she'll be in there again.

    If you take the above advice then don't leave it too long to make contact because she may feel that you're not interested and decide to move on.

    Best of luck.

    Agreed^

    Write a nice note saying you enjoyed her company and you'd like to bring her for dinner so you could talk some more. Stick yer number on it. Don't wait too long, poor girl probably can't figure out why ye never exchanged numbers either!

    why not go to her place of work and tell her she is thee most beautifull girl youve ever saw

    it worked for travis bickle in taxi driver;)

    Don't put any notes in her letterbox, she'll think your a creep!

    I think "Starpants" above has the best idea, Id go with that one.

    On review, Thats a good point, would sending a note or flowers be acceptable then (Either at work or home)?

    Why should she think he's a creep? I know loads of girls who would think it'd be sweet to get a letter through the door. If you are to do this OP, I'd just make it very brief and non presumptious...just something like "It was great chatting with you the other night. It'd be nice to hang out sometime, so here's my number if you'd like to too!"

    or whatever. short and sweet, not creepy or apologetic.

    And do it asap.

    The note sounds like a solid idea to me, if she likes you then she will love it. If she doesn't like you then you MAY get some creeper accusations. But if you got along with her as well as you are letting on then the note should be sure fire. Plus it might score some cute shy browny points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭havetoquit


    Yep, the brief note is perfect and wouldn't think that going to where she works would be appropriate at all. Flowers also not a good idea for such a brief aquaintance really. I wish you luck and no you are not a coward, but sound more like a nice unassuming guy who just lost your confidence for a few minutes and on reflection realised an opportunity had been missed....but doesn't have to be lost completely!!!

    I am a coward, no question about that. All I had to do was ask her for her number, it should have been so simple.

    Anyways, thanks for the replies. The note thing is a no go as I dont know the number of the apartment she lives in. I wouldnt be too keen on that idea anyhow! Her work also isnt open to public just dropping in for something

    Finally, I wouldnt say there was a "deep" connection between us, We just talked about general stuff for so long...

    IMHO, notes, flowers or going next nor near her workplace would come across as creepy. I'm sure some would say they'd like that, but the reality again IMH would be different. From a pretty much complete stranger? Dodgy I reckon. If as That_Guy wrote, you met her in a pub or club, well that's really your only option. If she's vaguely interested she'll probably show up there again anyway.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 989 ✭✭✭Birdsong


    why not send flowers to her workplace with your number on card. My friends now husband this. She was so impressed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭itsallaboutme!!


    I wouldnt advise the note idea or calling into her work, it does come off lil bit creepy especially if you have only just met this girl:o as mentioned before if it was a club or pub you met her in chances are you will see her there again and then ask for her number.if its ment to be it will!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭dorothygale


    Obvisously all these answers are muck. Lad, what you need to do is send her a pigs heart in nicely wrapped box with a bow and include a photo of your gun.

    Then, the make sure you wait outside her gaff from 4 AM so you can deliver it to her personally. Trust me, she'll be all over you like.

    I don't know any girl that would be willing to chat in the rain for an hour with a lad if she didn't like him. Pardon me for being the optimist, but what have you got to lose here man?

    I know it's not easy to make the first move, but sometimes you've just gotta? I say, go for it. If she says yes, then happy days! If she says no, no worries - You've gained nothing and lost nothing.

    Best of luck with it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Put a note in the box of every apt. Even if she finds out about it I think she'll like how you tried.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    I don't think handing in a note would be a great idea, it seems a bit too serious for having just met her. Let time do the work, if you bump into her again whenver then great ! I wouldn't go looking for the girl if you just feel very "meh" about it, which judging by the sound of your last post that's how you feel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Dont get me wrong, I really did like her. Just pointed out that all we talked about was work & other general stuff. Nothing deep & meaningful.

    I think the note idea is creepy, no way I am going to do it. Just hope that if its meant to be, we'll bump into each other again!


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    if she has a car, drive into it and get her number from the insurance details :cool:

    in all seriousness tho, the note is very 50/50 depending on the girl.. i'd say just go back to where ya met her first like the next weekend nd hope she's thinking the same way.

    If you really want to see this girl again, you will find a way because if you wait too long you will become confused by all these suggestions and do nothing..opportunty missed. Do you know anyone else who actually knows her? Is there a chance that she may frequent the same venue where you met again? If you do decide to post a note to her place of work/home, you do not have to come accross as a stalker at all. Make it brief and humorous adding your number and then let it go and see what happens. What is the worst that can happen? She doesn't respond back, so at least you will know and will not beat yourself up for not having tried. She may well want to meet up again, so why not give it a go. Life is too short to waste on what ifs and if onlys so go for it. We are after all talking one brief note from someone she did meet and whose company she was in for a few hours, not a complete stranger, so why would she even consider you a stalker, someone who without even knowing a person sends notes, telephones, stands outside one's place of work and house etc. No you would not be considered a stalker or a nut case of any kind. That is sheer imagination my friend.

    any way of adding her on any social networking sites...? then start up the casual conversation from there, send her a pm saying you had a great time and would love to do it again some time or some lark like that and throw in your phone number

    So why did you ask then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    "So why did you ask then? "

    I asked for ideas. The note was something that people brought up but I think it is too creepy, especially when I would have to put in everyones letterbox.

    Dont have any mutual friends and already checked Bebo & Facebook but not on there.

    I will head back to where we met, might be lucky!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy

    Best idea I think. I hope you've remembered her name after all this. :)
