An actual question for the ladies!

Dragan · 07-07-2006 12:05PM #1

Hey folks,

just curious to see how the girls feel about this. A short while ago i was on the Luas on my way out from town. It was pretty damn busy so i was standing and i noticed this very, very cute blond lass standing up on the other side of the carrige. I have to be honest and admit that i was admiring the view, and she caught me, gave a little smile and so did i. Every now and then one of us would catch the other on sneaking a peak. It was all very 14 years old!

Anyway, she go off in Dundrum.... i hadn't really prepared for this and assumed she was going to the end of the line. So off Hot Girl gets and i had about 4 seconds to decide whether to hop off with her and ask her did she want to go for a drink or something. Alas, time ran out and the door closed on me and i looked up the platform to find Hot Girl still looking back at me through the window.

Anyway, if a guy hopped off the Luas, Bus or whatever at your stop even though it wasn't his to ask you would you like to meet for a drink how would you react/what would you think?

I'm really regretting it now, as Hot Girl was....well, Hot!!! I'm not worried about anyone saying no, as that is there choice, or they might have a BF and just be admiring the view or whatever but would you think it was weird, or sweet???

BTW, if you read this Hot Girl, your damn hot!!!

Flattering I would imagine.

Following her off the Luas could be completely misunderstood. If you do do it, make sure to speak to her straight away. Otherwise you go from potential date to potential rapist in her mind.

justsomebloke · 07-07-2006 12:14PM

oh put it back in yout trousers man, time for a cold shower. Anyway why wouldn't you go up to her on the Luas itself? At least at that point you don't have to wait on the next Luas once you have your answer.

Also i see you are posting this in After Hours, is this in the vein attempt that hopefully she reads this and pm's you;)

KazDub · 07-07-2006 12:14PM

TBH I'd find it kinda scarey, I think.
Never had one of those 'men can't help acting on Impulse' moments though, damn it.
It always works out well in the movies, but I think most girls would be freaked out by a guy hopping off the tram for them.

xzanti · 07-07-2006 12:16PM

If she was single I'd say you were on to a winner

Sure you might bump into her again sometime..

Having said that.. If it was at night I would be freaked out..

Like i said dude, i hadn't really thought about when she would get off the Luas, or even asking her at all until she did so! T'was a very spur of the moment thing!!!

And if boards.ie poster want to start a search to try and hook up Dragan and Hot Girl, well dammit, i won't say no!!!

And Xzanti - i would never do something like that at night time!!! I would expect a weird reaction then!!!

"High, i know it darks, and no one is around, and i am huge and your a tiny delicate looking Hot Girl but please....come down this darkened road"..... not the best situation me thinks!!!

Kiera · 07-07-2006 12:18PM

Something like this happened to me when I was in Australia. I had a sneezing fit on the bus and he turned around and said “bless you” with a smile. I said “thanks” and we end up chatting away till I got to my stop and he ask if I’d like to go for a drink there and then so I did. Was really sweet.

He turned out to be pretty boring and ended up giving him a wrong number but I think it’s very flattering. Sure whats the worse that could happen? She says no. No big deal!

Faerie · 07-07-2006 12:33PM

I think it would be very sweet and even if she said no she would be very flattered!
It's all very Joey from Friends - just don't do what he does when he is looking for the 'Hot Girl'!

Although I agree that it would be a bad idea at night.

Yeah, thats where i got her name from...love the episode, and now i feel his pain!!!

Nina_Angelica · 07-07-2006 12:38PM

definitely sweet. i'd be flattered if i was in that situation.

i think it would depend on the signals you were getting. if she was smiling back at you then it's a go, if you're not getting a response at all, maybe best to leave it alone.

Terry · 07-07-2006 12:48PM

do girls really go for that?
i would have though they would run a mile.

oh well. live and learn.
maybe next time i'll go for it.

Nina_Angelica · 07-07-2006 01:03PM

maybe not all and especially anyone who's ever had a bad experience w/ something like that but i'd say alot of us would find it sweet.

I'd say just as many would start reaching for the pepper spray.

possibly, but then they'd hardly be smiling back at you. i'd say that'd give you fair indication of whether or not to make your move.

Basically it seems to me to be a bit of a mine field!!! Oh well, bye, bye Hot Girl

Sleepy · 07-07-2006 01:21PM

I've always wanted the nerve to try stuff like that but I just don't have it

Vegeta · 07-07-2006 01:21PM

Was it possible she was smiling back thinking.....please don't eat me.

Like when a savage dog starts barking and growling at you....its always "there, there....good doggy" with a big cheesey smile on your face.

Could you have read the signals wrong

deedee lepoopoo · 07-07-2006 01:23PM

I think it is flattering but it depends on the pursuer.............if an old drunkard hopped off and made an offer (which would happen, knowing my luck) it could turn uncomfortable.

Dragan · 07-07-2006 01:25PM

Vegeta.... could point, though i have found that most ladies will not then look back if they didn't like the look of me!!!

And Sleepy , sure you can, whats the worst that could happen.....well, besides a face full of mace!!! :eek:

joejoem · 07-07-2006 01:26PM

But Dragan, your a big chunk of man love, she would say yes, then swoon. I say go find hot girl, but remember, squeze gently, stop when her eyes bulge at least.

ha ha, what up joejoem? Haven't seen your around in a bit, where you been hiding dude?

Kimbot · 07-07-2006 01:31PM

Well I have been in similer circumstances a couple of times before...

Once was actually a shop... girl was smiling away and I ended up giving her my number... she text me and we went out a few times. We are still mates now!!

Another was on a bus we were smiling at each other for most of the trip and when she was getting of I gave her my number and said if you want to come for a drink sometime just call.... and she did!!

LadyJ · 07-07-2006 01:32PM

Hmm....I dunno how I'd react to something like that....

On one hand,I'd be flattered but the paranoid side of me might think
"axe-murderer"......

Probably,in reality,I'd be flattered,but taken by surprise so I'd clam up and
say no.

i don't know about you, but if i had a big mean crazy dog in front of me growling, i'm sure it would NOT be a big cheesey smile on my face!

i'd be looking for a place to run and not at the dog anyway.

Donegal Lass · 07-07-2006 01:47PM

yea i think you should have gone for it! wat did ya have to lose and you are regretting it now! i would have said yes! so next time you get the chance, take it! see it as one of lifes little opportunities!

spooiirt!! · 07-07-2006 02:04PM

I had the same situation with a really hot girl a year ago, she was beaming at me with this jaw droppingly beautiful smile, and then she said " Youre wearing odd socks" and giggled. Then came ten minutes of catching each others eye contact and looking away till i got off at my stop without saying a word. Id love to have asked her for her number but i reckon a hot girl like that gets pestered all the time and i would have seemed like just another dumb horny guy lookin for to score. I regret it not saying something, but on the other hand knowing me id have messed it up sooner or later anyway.

b3t4 · 07-07-2006 02:08PM

I've been asked out in this manner on a couple of occassions. Each time I was as startled as the last time and didn't think and automatically said no. If I had the time to think about it I might have said yes but when the person is looking for an answer there and then, it can be quite daunting.

I like what has been suggested. As in, say that you would like to go for a drink with her sometime, give her your number and say that she can get back to you with the answer. Or something along those lines.
