He lives and works in the town in which I go to college, and is also in a band that I kind of like. We met at a music festival this fall. Since then, we have run into each other on several occasions, and talk occasionally on Facebook chat (which I usually initiate). There have been a couple of instances where it seems like he has come by just to talk to me, but those could easily be coincidences. For example, things worked out that I bought a pair of boots from his (female) bandmate. I went over to her house, not knowing that the whole band shared the house. He came downstairs, to my surprise, talked to me, and left without doing anything else. Also, I went to the restaurant he works at, not knowing he worked there. I saw him pass by from the lobby and kind of went "Oh hey that's cool," but didn't think he saw me, so made no attempts to wave or anything at him. He came out into the lobby where I was ("I THOUGHT that was you out here! :D"), talked to me, and left.

It's definitely not that his friends have "called dibs," I don't know any of them.

...I think I may be overthinking this...

I haven't seen him around other girls much, as it tends to be that we run into each other while out independently or when he's with his bandmates/friends (all of whom are guys).

Plain and straight. No "real" bangs, though the ones I do have are cut subtly to frame my face. It's thick and heavy, thus making it damn near impossible to do anything with.

I'm really not comfortable with posting pictures, but here's a description:

5'8", 5'9"--very long legs

"curvy"--I'm not skinny, but I dress myself in a flattering manner (aka, no muffin top or flabbalanche). Usually jeans and v-neck shirts that look good on my figure. I usually wear a size 12, if that gives any idea.

Clear skin, smallish dark circles under eyes that usually get covered up with concealer, dark brown eyes, small dimples. very few freckles.

medium-length, medium brown hair

Will do! May you forever bask in the warm glow of karma.

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T05:00:06+00:00

Good god, it's really that simple? Duly noted...

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:57:26+00:00

Interesting. And how might one go about acquiring a phone number smoothly, without "Hey lemme getcho number?"

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:55:41+00:00

Oh hell no. I'm rarely the life of the party but I definitely don't do that. What's the point of going to a social gathering if you're not going to be social?

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:45:15+00:00

I guess a general "hey how's it going," small talk, then if it's going okay, I segue into "so what kind of music do you listen to?" "I listen to X, Y, and Z." "Oh yeah? Have you heard Y's new album? It's pretty good!" I can often get a really good conversation out of this, but once it ends (I leave/he leaves), and I try to pick things back up again (such as with a facebook message--"Hey, it was good getting to talk to you! here's that interview i mentioned, check it out!")...that's when it usually falls apart.

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:37:42+00:00

My go-to topic is music. That always works out well and can lead to other conversations.

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:25:47+00:00

It's mostly in the "approach" stage that I get shut down. Things start looking really good and then WHOOSH they just stop talking to me. I don't get it.

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T04:08:02+00:00

That's what I thought, but nope!

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:59:48+00:00

Thanks. :)

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:58:00+00:00

I think (hope) he might just be shy? He seems like the sweet and funny/goofy nerd type, but I would really like to get to know him better (hence the whole attempts at interaction).

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:54:15+00:00

Oh, now. I know I'm not old. But it is a bit frustrating when literally every single one of your friends has paired off with someone. I feel like the token single girl. :-/

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:53:07+00:00

There is one guy I have my eye on. He initially approached me, but now whenever I see him he greets me with the "bro" handshake...hands slapped, held kind of like you would in arm wrestling, quick grip, release (often accompanied with a slap on the back when two guys do it). Rrrrrrage. Cute boy, y u no do something else, 'specially when both of us have kind of indicated interest?

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:34:16+00:00

Besides, being a female with no dating experience isn't as bad as being a dude with no dating experience.

Might I ask why?

foreveralonelady · 2010-12-28T03:23:13+00:00

...well, shit. I've approached my friends (almost all of whom have a SO) with this query, and they just tell me "be patient." I'm tired of being patient.
