So I just made possibly the least suave friendship move ever and asked Greg if he wanted to hang out and "do something some time." *facepalm* We're going to meet up on campus at 4:30 tomorrow, and after that I don't know what because I'm pretty sure he doesn't drive either, but. Social interaction. With a boy, even.

Next week isn't going to be THAT bad test-wise... Botany and Forensics on Monday, AbPsych and Personality on Thursday, so that's plenty of time to study for both of them. I still don't know what the AbPsych test format is going to be, but Personality is all essay questions, and I can entirely cope with that. That class is so much fun, seriously.

I'm done with classes for today, but Julia isn't done until 3:20, so here I sit. She took what little money I had so she could get cigarettes, so I can't do what I was hoping to and get some french fries to tide me over. Oh well...

...yeah, looks like a Big Bang Theory marathon is in order. :D

Mood: weird
Music:Ani DiFranco - Swim

Are you kidding? It sounds like the opening scenes to a soon-to-be-classic romcom. You could sell the movie rights when you're done and have Meg Ryan play you. I'm pretty sure Tom Hanks will be free to play Greg. ♥

HAVE FUN AND BE GOOD!

I'm going to hold onto the rights until I get Tina Fey to sign the contract. No one else can play me, I've decided. xD

Be good? I'm not sure I remember how to do that!

Dude, at least you actually spoke to the guy, and he agreed! That's all that matters!

There are a couple girls on campus I want to get to know and I can't bring myself to talk to them. >_< Of course talking to random guys is just fine. *sigh* If I was straight things would be so much easier. Then again, if I was straight it would probably be the other way around. XD

I'm bi, and it was easier to talk to the guy than the equally interesting girl. She's too pretty, I'm more intimidated by her. xD

That seems like a perfectly cool way to make someone to hang out and do something sometime. Direct, too. :) Nothing un-suave about that.

Well, I did preface it by saying "So I'm trying to work on the whole being a hopeless introvert thing...." Possibly too direct and honest? xD

*long answer to short question*

The only thing I would say about that is, even though *you* know you're a hopeless introvert, *he* doesn't know that. So you might think it requires explaining, but it just brings his attention to something he might not have noticed about you before.

Tl;dr: Good rule of thumb: don't advertise your self-perceived failings. If they're obvious, people will notice them and walk away, but most of the time, you're your own worst critic, and everyone else thinks you're actually fairly nice. So don't sabotage yourself. No matter how strong the temptation is, half the time you think you've done something that needs explaining, no one else has noticed. If they're worth your time and they think you need to explain, they'll ask.

Tl;dr to the tl;dr: Pretend you think you're awesome and the rest of the world will think so too.

Did any of that make sense? FWIW, it took me 31 years to learn that lesson, and I'm still working on it...

If the least suave friendship move ever essentially got you a date, imagine how awesome you must be to pull that off.

Oh god, don't use the D-word. It's not. I don't even know if we have a single mutual interest, let alone that much compatibility.

just fyi: when you two end up making out and it becomes a date after the fact, I am totally the kind of guy who says "I told you so".
