The New Relationship Thread

[Unlucky]

Honestly, that is totally it. "I liked this thread when I was talking to myself".

Fixed.

[Allen!]

Ow, my feeling.

[Unlucky]

Ny'aw. I'm sorry Allen!, I didn't mean it, really. Just having a little bit of harmless fun...

BFFL's again?

[Machalllewis]

Is it just me or will this thread never get the same respect as the other one does?

[Allen!]

It's just you. More importantly: Yes, Unlucky.

[Arius]

Technically, it's not necessarily the romantic relationship thread. And we just were witness to a relationship being strained and then fixed. That's more than the other thread ever had.

[Kara]

I feel like I just experienced a magical moment on this thread. *Sniffle.*

[Machalllewis]

Maybe this has all just been legitimised then. The thread that saved Christmas. Or a friendship or something.

This forum really needs heart\hugging emoticons....

That third one looks like they're making out.

That second one is good though.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm amazed I managed to make a thread so successful it necessitated a sequel

[zfubarz]

I like the other better still

RELATIONSHIP THREAD 2: RISE OF THE FALLEN (relationships) IS NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL. FOR EXAMPLE, IT HAS MAJOR EDITING AND PACING ISSUES. IN ADDITION, THE FINAL BATTLE SCENE WAS FAR TOO LONG.

I have identified a girl at work I wish to ask out.

I am currently struggling with startinga conversation.

I must do it either this or next week, otherwise, it's desert bus time, and I wont be around - and the office christmas party is the week after that - ideally, I'd like to be on speaking terms before then.

Failing that, well, I can always try at the party.

She has a very nice ass.

[Gordon Fearman]

Well, assumedly (which is apparently not a word but you all know what I mean) the art of starting a conversation involves finding common ground. Since you work with her that should be mind bogglingly easy.

Failing that, I'm sure she appreciates her butt too so that might be your common ground.

DISCLAIMER: Gordon Fearman has never been in a relationship. You are an idiot for taking all or any of his advice.

[zfubarz]

I'd go with the butt thing, it's worked for me in the past... No seriously, although not to start a relationship

Also why not talk about desert bus somehow? say hey guess what we help raise many thousands of dollars for charity, I even did a huge part myself by letting myself be tortured via twilight, it's cool though, you should come by for a couple hours and help out.

[Gordon Fearman]

Oh dude, that could be your date. Goto New Moon with her.

[zfubarz]

i hope for his sake she doesnt want to.

but it'd be a good way to do it, get her to the moonbase, and we'll do the rest for you during DB.

[iamafish]

that would be an awesome first date! or possibly a terrible one... i'm not sure

Remember, Matt, no stalking. I've warned you about this.

Do you and her have any place you commonly meet up? Be it at her desk, or at the coffee shop, or the copier, or whatever?

[steelfox]

Combine the "Starting a conversation" and "She has a very nice ass"

Start a conversation about her ass...

Really what's the big thing about starting a conversation with someone of the opposite sex? It's not that hard, most girls don't bite until you request that sort of thing and their the same F-ed up social creatures as the rest of us.

"Hi there, my name is Matt. I don't believe we've been introduced...."

*Here goes your talky bits*

[infinite_guest]

Steelfox has a point. In my admittedly arrogant opinion, you should probably start the conversation about something you have in common. I think the key thing would be to act natural and be yourself.

[Arius]

You only get one first impression. If you fuck it up, you might as well not bother with the girl anymore.

Though, if Matt takes too long to actually make a move, it will be creepy when he does. But Matt, if you want to talk to her, don't use lines. Don't try to find an opportunity.

Just walk up to her and say, "Hi, I'm Matt. I've seen you around a lot, but never got your name." Wait for her answer, then ask what division she works in and then go from there.

If you spend three months following her around before talking to her, you'll probably end up with a face full of bear mace.

Occasionally the mail room, occasionally the break room, occasionally just passing one another in the halls, and occasionally when I drop bundles of envelopes off iin the bin behind her desk.
