Ok so today Jan, 21 I finally talked to that girl..Jen. Haha yeah it has been a while since i originally planned it but last week she wasn't in class. On tuesday, I wimped out, today, i wimped out. The original plan was to approach her after class and start up a convo, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. But, luck struck my way as I saw her after school at the trax station, and it so happens she takes the same train as me. I saw her, made eye contact, but still didn't approach her, i was nervous as hell, but then I walked back and forth, and thought about this site,
Confidence, I'm #1, There's plenty of girls out there, etc. etc. So, I walked up a little closer to her, made eye contact again and approached, and this is basically how the convo went down. **I approached her about 5 minutes before the train came, and the train is ride to my stop is about 10-15 minutes, haha it was pretty tough for a first convo and really my first attempt at legitimately approaching a girl.
me > I walked near her, made eye contact, approached, put my hand on her shoulder and said: "Hey Jen, what's going on"
her > "Hey, not too much, what about you?
me > (I planned on saying, "not too much, but i was just noticing that your hair looks really nice today") I actually said: "Not a lot, so your switching out of english huh?"
her > "Oh yeah, haha, going to an easier class"
me > "ah man, yeah why are you doing that?"
her >"ha didn't you hear in class, so i can graduate early!"
me >"oh yeah! well now when are we ever going to see each other haha"
her >"yeah, its not like english last year"
me >"yeah i know, those were the good days, when we actually used to talk"
her >"haha yeah i know, this year its mostly cause of the seating arrangements, and you sit over with that clump of your friends"
skipping some random small talkish stuff like above
her > she gets a call on her phone and says "One sec" she talks on the phone and I over hear her and learn that one of her friends is in her car across the street and offers he a ride, (Fukk..) but, she says "No its ok, I like taking tracks anyways" etc. she hangs up
me > "oh was that your mom?"
her > "haha yeah, like she would just drive off and let me take tracks"
Blah blah blah so the train comes like 1 minute later and we get on, on this is where it actually gets ok
her > "so you take sandy (train)"
me > "oh yeah, i live in sugar house, so i go to 21hundred south and then get a ride"
her > "oh that's cool"
me > "yeah so where do you live"
her > "says where she lives and that she has to take a buss and walk after the train etc. she then says, so you live in sugar house?"
me > "yeah haha its great, i live right next to the big hill in the park, its perfect in the winter time"
her > "ooh yeah!! i love that hill!!! do you ever go sleding?"
me > "yeah of course! its only the best place to go. what about you, do you like sledding?"
her > "yeah i love it! i used to go on that hill all the time, but i havn't been in a while, is there snow on it?"
me > "i havn't checked in a couple days but it just snowed the other day, so there should be for sure"
her > "haha what!! it never snowed"
me >"haha yeah are you kidding me, or it did in sugar house atleast"
her >"oh well not down here i guess"
me >"yeah so the hill should be packed with snow, we should go sometime"
her >"haha yeah for sure!"
me > "well, what are you doing this weekend"
her > "yeah, sounds fun! do you have a phone?"
me > "yeah of course"
her > "well can i have your number"
me > "yeah well here, let me just get you number so i can call you this weekend and tell you how the snow is"
her > "ok its, blah blah balh, let me see your phone so i can spell me name right"
me > "haha I know how to spell your name!" she says: "well how" I say: "here, i'll bet you 5 imaginary bucks that I spell it right, (do handshake for kino)"
me > "well, lets see, pretty smile, beautiful hair, it must start with a J" i then spell out the rest of her name etc. and get it right.
her > "haha yeah you actually got it right!"
me > "haha yeah, im a beast, and you owe me 5 imaginary dollars."
her > "haha ill get on that"
me > "but so yeah, I'll just give you a call this weekend then and we can go sledding"
her > "ok, well..what is today? The dance is next friday right? I dont know, I might have to do something this friday but i forgot, haha.
me > "oh alright, so you like to dance? I never see you at any of the dances or at studios (a club)"
her > "oh yeah well I went to the dance a while ago, on new years, but i havn't been to one since"
After this, kind of talk a little bit more about dancing, and I tell her that I didn't go to the new years dance because I was in San Diego because my mom lives there and then we get talking about our familys etc.
Ok well, the conversation goes on for like 10 more minutes, and unfortunately, that's when I actually learn about her (unfortunately because there's so much to write and im sure you're tired of reading and i can't remember to well) We talked about other things, such as, sking/snowboarding, ice skating, dancing, our familys and siblings (her dad lives in Argentina) and that's about it.
As it was my stop I stood up, put my hand on her shoulder and said "well this is my stop, i'll see you later" and then as i was exiting the train i turned around and made the call sign and said "i'll call you" (stupid!..) and then it ended.
Well, what do you guys think? Personally, I think it was a pretty Sh!ty attempt, but at least I did it. She seemed really interested in me and we were both laughing and having a good time. At first I was a little shell shocked because it was basically my first time approaching a girl like that, straight up, and I knew I had a long conversation in front of me. Oh well, better to do than to regret right?
(eaglezz, it would be cool if you could do one of those quote things and add the red advice text
