Aww - that's sweet of you to say! I'm embarrassed, but glad you thinks so.
If you like this girl, I DEFINITELY think you should say hello. Especially if she is not expecting it, it will make her wonder if you like her. At the very least, she will be thinking of you just to figure it out. The only thing is that if she's the type of girl who gets a lot of attention from guys, it might work better for you to not say hello, but just let her catch you looking at her. Eye contact is key, but it's hard to do. When she sees you looking at her, DO NOT look away, meet her gaze and let her look away first. Don't do it all the time, just once is enough, you don't want her to think you're a creep.
Just kiddin. Noone should smoke pot. And more important: noone should drink alcohol. But we do. And who am I to judge?
My friends autopsy (passed away at Dec 30 last year, some may remember a sad thread) is finished and official: He has pneumonia, Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, ulcus ventriculi, oversized heart etc etc etc. He drank from 15 to his last day, 46 y o.
I reckon Bob Marley had an 'impressive' smount of diseases too, when he went away some 25 years ago.
Drugs is just crap. My opinion is quite wellknown; even if I allow myself to joke about it every now & then. Worse with all the middle aged people here who speak about pot smokin like it was some kind of breakfast gruel, and Amsterdam's coffee shops some kind of Nirvana. Bollox!
No no, in economy class we actually looked eachother in the eyes for say, about, 3 seconds, which sounds short but it seemed like a life time. And then, I smiled and she smiled back. I actually think my heart skipped a beat there. So, I think I'm getting somewhere. That was relatively easy, the next part would be actually having a conversation with her, perhaps, but now I did speak to her for quite a few times but she's actually in my class so it isn't really a problem, I think, I just need to give it some time, you don't wanna rush these things.

Erik, you'd be great to have a meal with. We could simply swap vegetables from one plate to another!
I think so partially because this thread has allowed for multiple things.
First of all, a serious discussion about vegetables. Second, a serious disscusion about cultural differences. Third, a serious discussing about love. Forth, complete bullshit. Fifth, I will not say. Like I always say, if there's 5 things, don't say the fifth.
On the other hand Cindy's topic allows for some discussions that actually have to do with music, you can't say that about this one.
So I can't really decide. But because Cindy is Cindy I think, man, NICOS, you are one, big, LOSER!!

You really can't argue with that logic ;-)
Well my other thread was supposed to be the bullshit thread, since we don't have a chat room, but this can be it successor. I think I've just about sucked out every ounce of glory from the other one.
First off, you don't want to tell her what you wrote earlier. I think that's a no brainer (at least for initial conversations). There may be room for that later.
Seriously, do you know what her interests are? Is she into music like you? If you know what her interests are and if they are things that you are interested in, just start talking about them. You'll probably find that when talking about common interests, the words flow easily.

Yes, I thought about that.
She likes video games. What the hell? Well, I'll have to go with that. Should I go out and buy me some? I do play some, but it gets boring rather fast. So. Video games it is then. I haven't even ever played Counter Strike, really, although I like America's Army, aside from the fact that it's just propaganda, it's just good fun. Oh and I loved Goldeneye 007, I was like addicted to that one. Still the best first person shooter ever made, I think.
So.. yes.. my general experience is that when bringing up the Stones or for example John Lee Hooker in a conversation doesn't work out well.

hehehe.
but no WMiller - I'm not going to write to bv. I just added a post saying that we should stop posting. It was weird though, my server got hung up when I tried to post it. Then when I went on, my message was entered, but the thread remained on page three. Actually that's probably better, if it showed up on top people might keep posting.

I'm older than the video game generation here in the states (unless you're talking Pong, Asteroids, Space Invaders or Donkey Kong), but I think that most girls are not into them.
I will advise you to not just focus on you acquiring interests that are hers and then cramming, like you would for an exam. If you are in the same class, or classes, that alone should give you enough to break the ice.
Yeah, isn't it past your bedtime!
Good luck.
