Met a fantastic woman the other day at an improv comedy workshop (we are in different troupes in the same town)

She was awesome!

I'm actually obsessing :) This hasn't happened since High School!

I guess I actually have to ask her out now...

You already have something in common -- go for it and good luck :D

Improv Comedy is usually my 'secret weapon' with the ladies, i.e. they are impressed I get up in front of people and do that...She has been doing it 2 years longer then me :P

I still have piano I suppose...

Now I just have to figure out how to not appear like a stalker.

-Allen

akm3, didn't you say you were extremely shy? How do you do improv comedy then?? I know I couldn't do it and I'm just shy.Improv Comedy is usually my 'secret weapon' with the ladies, i.e. they are impressed I get up in front of people and do that...She has been doing it 2 years longer then me :P

I guess when he goes on stange he has an alter ego that isnt shy!
Good luck buddy.

AKM, I'm in the same boat brother! Kinda did the second "double date" type thing tonight...Friday I met her (friend of mine is dating her roommate), we ate at a Chinese buffet (cheat night!) and then watched the Harry Potter movie (it was ok I guess). Tonight we went to a Japanese restaurant for sushi (more cheating, sue me! :whistle: ) then drank some coffee at the book store.

Kinda getting the urge to pass her a note that says:

DO YOU LIKE ME?

Circle 1 or 2

1) Yes

B) No

:D

I've been unattached for nearly 8 years so this is all like new stuff to me again! :lol:

akm3, didn't you say you were extremely shy? How do you do improv comedy then?? I know I couldn't do it and I'm just shy.

Yes, I am very shy, or was, I should say. Shadow kind of nailed it. I never could have done Improv comedy a few years ago, but when I started I was at a point in my life where I just didn't care anymore and I just DID it. I previously was used to performing as a musician, so getting up in front of people to 'perform' wasn't too bad for me. I'm also in a different mental space when I'm performing.

I am STILL very shy in dealing with the opposite sex, but that has improved too. I'll actually ask for phone numbers and what not now, and I'm not so worried about being rejected...

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

The piano is money with the ladies. I don't know why, but it is.

I don't think I ever had a "crush". I just married my best friend. :)

Worst thing a lady can say is, "No". ;)

The piano is money with the ladies. I don't know why, but it is.

I've never figured it out, but ladies seem to really be impressed when they hear me play! Go figure...

I still think the guitar guys steal my thunder though, they can lug their instrument around with 'em!

-Allen

(P.S. I just asked her out (unfortunately, it was via E-mail since I don't have her phone number) so I'll report back if I was shot down or not :P )

They can say a lot worse things then "No", trust me.

Well I 'asked' her out. I never had her phone number, so had to do it via E-mail (lame I know, but less lame then E-mailing for her phone number to call and then ask her out)

Haven't heard back yet, but it has been only one day.

Still keeping up hope.

Who cares, E-mail, phone... You asked, and thats what matters. :gl:

I'm certainly subscribing to this thread. I wanna know how it goes! :D
Make sure to keep us posted...

Good luck dude. :tu:

Two days now and no response... Currently on Day three. Starting to be concerned :)

I am, however, no longer obsessed/crushing so that is good :) Now I'm viewing it rationally . Perhaps this is a defense mechanism to keep me from being too disappointed if it doesn't work out.

We'll see!

I'm old fashioned, so I'd say email wasn't the best choice to use. But I hope she responds!

Did you make sure to let her clearly know who you are in the email? She might not realize, especially if you haven't kept up coorespondence through email. I wouldn't send her another one to check up, unless you won't see her in person for a while.

I see your points.

We met at the improv class, etc, and seemed to really hit it off. I never had her phone number so I sent an E-mail that said: "Is this the E-mail of the lady I just met at the improv class, if so Hi" kind of deal. She replied back that night saying "Hi! Yes it's me I had a great time blah blah blah". So then I sent an E-mail saying something along of the lines of "Well, theres no subtle way to do this, so I'll just say that I'm very interested in getting to know you better and would love to take you out, <insert my contact information phone# and E-mail address (that wasn't my work E-mail that I had used originally)>".

No reply :)

I probably screwed it up but, aw well. There are other great ladies I'm seeing (non exclusively) right now, but none of them had the SPARK/Fireworks I had with this one.

Give it some time, she might yet respond. Also, at least you got it off your chest, ya know? You aren't going to spend the next stretch of your life wondering!

Again, very good points :)

It is interesting to objectively observe my emotions slowly turn from:

"What an amazing woman that I could spend the rest of my life with"
to:
"What the hell is wrong with her? What a b..Jerk!"

:) I am laughing at myself over the whole thing! It truly was as if I was back in high school for a day or too, only in high school I never would have made the effort to ask her out at ALL, and would just be wondering for a year what might have been :)

If 'her not reciprocating' is what might have been, I guess I didn't miss much!

Of course, she may respond still, but at least I can approach a relationship with her rationally, now, instead of like a lovesick puppy!

:spaz:

Ahh forums, group therapy at its finest!

OK, three solid days and I've heard zip.

Here is where I ask advice:

Should I just completely drop hope and forget about the possibility of us dating, OR should I ask her out again (Choices would be go to her improv theater and ask her out in person, or send another E-mail, because I still don't have her phone number) (In addition to the great advice/support I've received so far, I'd also be really interested to hear Freemason's and Chim-Chim's advice too, if you guys are out there listening)

If i were you, I would just let it be for a while. If you ask again or show up where she is, you may seem a little too pushy. I would just let it take its natural course. Im sure you will run into her again w/ the improv stuff. When you see her again you should just ask her if she ever got ur email...then just take it from there.

I have found that letting things occur naturally when it comes to dating and such is always the best way to go. When you take too much of the offensive side, you may come off as overbearing or pushy..even if you have good intentions. If it was meant to be, it will be.

Good luck :tucool:

A guy at work asked me out, I told him I don't date my co-workers(which is a lie) and then he asked why. I told him I dated my boss and it was horrible. His response: Well I'm not your boss. I said, No..I don't mess with my co-workers. His response: Come on, it's just dinner. Me: NO, I don't think so. Because I was kind about it all, he wouldn't back down. He bothered me and still flirted with me for three days after I told him no. I eventually went to his boss and he talked to him about leaving me alone. Point of my story: Don't email her again asking her out and don't go to her comedy class. If she's interested, she'll let you know.OK, three solid days and I've heard zip.

Wow, my workplace is REALLY strict on that. Ask someone out? Sure, no problems there. But if they say No, that's it. Keep badgering them and you're fired for sexual harassment.

Certainly. For the record I wasn't at HER comedy class, we were just both at an improv comedy workshop taught by someone from the eastern US that just happened to occur at the theater she performs at.

Point taken though, I'll just let it be :)
It is hard for me not to be pushy, because for 10 years I wasn't pushy at ALL and, well, dating basically sucked/was non existent for me.

For guys, if you just 'do nothing' you don't really get any dates, I've learned.

Maybe your just going about it the wrong way. Im only 23, but ive had my share of experiences. One thing that has always played true in my past....

The minute that I stoped looking for it...was when I found it.

I read what you said about being shy..and I am the say way. I am not one to go up to someone at a bar or club and ask them out. Things just kinda of work their way out in the flow of things...either through a friend, at work, school, etc. Being shy, I have always found that any relationship that I have ever been in, or atleast the meaninful ones, have started with a friendship that developed into more. I truly belive in fate and that everything happens for a reason and given my shy personality, I never make the first move. I find that when you try too hard, you dont show your real self to others. Its almost as if we put on an act to impress the opposite sex (even though we dont always realize we are doing it). From a person who knows where ur comming from...Just be urself and stop looking for it.

Well, I'm 30 and it doesn't get easier to meet people. Most of the girls I meet now (few indeed) are almost always in some sort of serious relationship (long-time SO, married, etc.) Work has never really been a good place to meet people, neither is the gym (IMHO), and school is long gone. And since work, gym, martial arts, and sleep comprise about 150% of my time, well, do the math. I've been "not looking" for about 7 years and yet still nothing. :o

Maybe it just isnt ur time yet...or maybe you are too busy to enjoy ur a social life...maybe ur life is so busy that you give off somewhat of an unapproachable demeanor. Who knows...not to get all philisophical but..all im saying is that from what I have learned thus far...you have to just enjoy life, be urself, and let things run their course.

DO YOU LIKE ME?

Circle 1 or 2

:D I laughed my ass off after reading that.
Worst thing a lady can say is, "No". ;)Ohhh, I can think of a lot of things that are worse than that. Especially, if you're drunk out of you rmind and spill something on her, while asking. :whistle:
it was via E-mail since I don't have her phone numberHow'd you get her email address in the first place?
Should I just completely drop hope and forget about the possibility of us dating, OR should I ask her out again (Choices would be go to her improv theater and ask her out in person, or send another E-mail, because I still don't have her phone number)For now, forget about it, but don't lose hope...if that makes any sense. You know how some people wait 1 or 2 days before calling? others 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, etc. days before calling? It could be just her way of letting you know that she isn't an "irrational lovesick puppy."
The minute that I stoped looking for it...was when I found it. Just be urself and stop looking for it.This may be true for a small percentage, and sometimes, it really does happen that way. But for most of us, we never really can stop looking for it, it's always on our mind. It's kinda like you pretend to stop looking for it, and when you find it, you attribute it to the fact that you weren't looking for it and you found it. I just :confused: myself, again.



all im saying is that from what I have learned thus far...you have to just enjoy life, be urself, and let things run their course.I'll agree on that. You can't rush life, but you can speed it up temporarily.

M3Kamikaze:
I sent the first E-mail saying "is this you" by guessing her E-mail (name@troupesname.com) She replied and said yes, hi, etc. That is when I sent the second E-mail asking to take her out to get to know her/expressed my interest.

CL117:
I agree with what you say to a point, but for different reasons. Anyone who is agressive/active looking for a boy/girlfriend come off with an unattractive, desparate quality which is why it is unsuccessful. Then, when you aren't actively 'hunting' and are yourself, you're more attractive, that is true.

But, I wasn't 'looking', she is someone I ran into while doing other things, we seemed to hit it off, and THEN I asked her out (that is a classic 'not looking' scenario). It isn't like I saw her in a bar said "she's cute" and went up and asked her out. (For the record)

-Allen

Well, the whole "crush" is now ended and moot. I have decided to take someone I had been casually dating and make the relationship more formal/serious. She is a fantastic lady (lady#2) whom I really like. Yes, I didn't have the 'fireworks' with her that I had with lady#1, but she certainly is girlfriend and even wife material.

Lady#1 really missed out!

Thanks everyone for the advice/support in this thread :) I'm happy to be doing the right thing with lady#2.

P.S. Master and Commander of the far side of the world is a terrible movie.

-Allen

but she certainly is girlfriend and even wife material. Ahh, so she's a breeder. LOL.:tucool:

Ahh, so she's a breeder. LOL.:tucool:

Well, thats not what I meant! I just mean she is a stable, good individual who is looking for a longer term relationship. She isn't a psycho, she has a job, her own place, etc. Wouldn't be a dependant.

-Allen

Well, Well, Well guess who decided to finally give me a call after I got over the whole ordeal and was starting to settle happily in with the girl I'm currently seeing?

Yup.

Now, heres the thing, after spending more time with lady#2 I'm not convinced we have long term potential. Lady#1 (the crush) is also not anything certain yet.

However, I don't want to try to keep Lady#2 while pursuing Lady#1 because that is low class.

What to do what to do...
I guess the responsible thing to do would be to tell Lady#2 that while I really enjoy spending time with her (True!) I don't feel that special zing or spark that I think is necessary to sustain a monogamous long term relationship. And, that there is another girl I have unresolved feelings for that I feel I need to pursue.

I'm so glad I turned lady#2 down for luvin' last Saturday or this would be a real mess.

-Allen

What did she say when she called you? She's interested as well??
I'm young and inexperienced, but I say go w/ the truth (at least that way there is far less confusion)...Tell Lady2 that you want to keep dating but you want to have an open relationship, and take Lady1 out to a comedy club ;)

I like this post because I get some positive vibes from it, same reason I created the "how did you and your SO/Spouse get together" Even got some proposal pictures on that thread!!

For any of you that are (like me) disappointed that you don't have someone, read these posts they give me hope :)

Good luck bro w/ both the ladies.

Yes, no one should get discouraged at the lack of loving, although it does suck! The best thing you can do is just go do all the stuff that interests you, unless it involves shutting yourself in your house watching TV or playing video games (you'll never meet anyone that way (unless it is everquest or something, but that is a bad way to meet people)). The trick is to put yourself in a position where you meet NEW people, it is kind of a numbers game.

Anyway, no she didn't outright say she was interested in me, but during the improv workshop I got strong positive vibes, and she dropped a couple verbal hints (i.e. she was single, asked a gay friend if he had any single brothers he could hook her up with (while the three of us were sitting at the same table eating), etc). BUT she did call back and left a message with her phone number and sounded upbeat/positive.

After the E-mail I sent her saying *I* was interested in her it would be weird for her to leave a message w/ her number if she wasn't also at least a little interested. But then again, she waiting a week to do it.
But then again, maybe she only checks her E-mail once a week?

Anyone have any more advice what to do with Lady#2 (The one I'm currently seeing but not serious with?)

-Allen

YEAH! I'm so happy for you! :) I don't know why she waited a week..if a guy I liked told me he liked me through email I'd call him after I read the email, but most girls don't want to appear desperate :)Yes, no one should get discouraged at the lack of loving, although it does suck!

I just now caught up with this thread. Sounds resolved now. :p

Had it not yet been resolved, I would have told you not to give up. When I was still single I probably would have waited two weeks or for a second email.

Glad it worked out. Huzzah! :)

Our baby's all grown up.

Well it looked like I jumped the guna bit! (doh!)

Turns out she is currently in a relationship that (these are her words) is "near the end" and that she would "let me know when she is ready to date again".

I can respect that, and I don't want to jump right into a relationship with her after she ended a previous one (I don't want to be her rebound)

So, I called her on some off the stuff she said about 'looking to be set up' and she said she was joking? Ahh well. Not meant to be at this time! No problem! Actually this gives me less problems, at this time, so I guess it is a good thing...Still, I'm vaugely disappointed. It gives me more time to continue getting hot though.

:bb:

-Allen

Well, I'm going tonight to another workshop where I'll get to (or have to, depending on your point of view) to see this girl again.

That might be slightly awkward.

I hate being rejected, but at least "am already involved with someone else" is a good reason.

lets see the worst scenario for this plan. You tell lady#2 you are not interested, then pursue lady#1, after a dinner or something with #1(without sex of course) things don't go good. result= you are alone.

In the other two scenarios you pursue lady#1 first, if things go good you get the woman you are dreamin' about, if things don't go that good you still have lady#2 till you get your desired woman or decide to stay with her.


maybe im in the low class but scenario two is what i do, and get sex with diferent women plus i'm not alone a long time. when i find my woman i'll be respectful with her and i will be high class for her only.

Trust me, women do it also.

LOL Found this thread.

If anyone cares, I am now happily with lady #2 and lovin' every minute :)

Crushes are bad mmkay? It clouds your judgement for the things that are actually important to you :tucool:

-Allen

that's so crazy, I'm in your exact situation right now.

Or rather, I was...

I started the same way as you, and started seeing someone while the other girl started calling me. Then I found out (like you) she was at the end of a relationship. To make a long story short I broke up with the girl I was seeing a few months back, and just started talking to my crush again. I guess she's still in her relationship which still seems to be at the end of its ropes -- I dunno. I'm treading lightly :d_smile:

LOL, it's good to see you posting again (I missed your avatar!). That's great that everything clicked with you and your current girl, but I have to ask... whatever happened with this one (http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showthread.php?t=5844)? When last we saw akm3, he was on the brink of living as a hermit... Any interesting endings to this story?

muahah!

That is a good question! I was very seriously considering doing that, but now that I'm happy with lady #2, and would like to keep her around and not think I'm a psychotic crazy hermit, I have decided to take a more traditional/balanced/slow-go approach to losing debt. :)

Thanks for remembering!

Yes, I hope to be posting more frequently again :)

Nice to be back to the great community.

P.S. If my lovely girlfriend decides to dump me, everything I own goes on Ebay the next day :)

its been said how closely the mental patterns of love resemble the patterns of insanity.

i'm a recovering crush o' holic. 22 friggin years old and i still get 'em...just like i'm in high school again. I was hangin out with this chick thru mutal friends last week...had A BLAST!! We drank, laughed, for some reason went swimming in the beach at Coney Island at 2 AM.

I was crushing on her the whole next week...i just have to remember to ride it through...it will pass. Turns out she has a kid...BIG NO NO!!!...and is still in love with like twenty of her ex's....that brings you back to reality REALLY FRIGGIN QUICK. that and my current g/f probably wouldnt be too keen on the idea :spaz:

ugh....this whole relationship thing is WAY blown out of proportion.
