This girl and I share a class together (college) and I've only really talked to her once. The conversation lasted 2 hours and went really well, be we haven't said a word to each other for maybe 2 months. I wanna get to know her before school lets out.

Anyways, our classmates have to interview each other to prepare ourselves for the real world. One person acts as the interviewer, the other is the interviewee.

I was planning on asking to interview her, and when I do, I would neglect the exercise and start asking her questions about her social life. She would answer, and eventually I would say "Last question: Would you like to go out sometime?"

Think that'll work?

Personally, I don't want to date a girl who smokes or drinks. How can I ask her if she's into these things without sounding like I'm judging her?

Bonus Question: If she says she smokes/drinks, what's a good way to politely tell her I'm not into that?

You know how you see everybody on here asking for dating advice?

What would you do if you found out that the person asking for the advice is the person that you have feelings for?

Would you answer their question and tell them that it's you?

You hear bands use the same key signatures over and over again? Or doesn't it matter?

I've had girlfriends before, but the whole number-exchange-thing was always sort of mutual. I didn't have to ask, I just got them.

So how do you ask for a girl's number when you barely know the girl, and honestly just want to get to know her?

More importantly, how do I ask without making it awkward? Is there a way to transition into asking for her number?

We're in college by the way.

How does it know every song or TV show I let it listen to? It's CRAZY.

I listen to weird bands too... bands this thing shouldn't know about.

I mean, I first used it in Taco Bell where everybody was shouting and it could still recognize the song...

BONUS QUESTION: I play guitar and occasionally record over backing tracks (Music without the guitar). Well I tried using Shazam over my guitar playing and it couldn't recognize the song even though it sounds exactly like it. Any reason why?

I remember a comedian doing a segment on this. He talked about how the internet is filled with the craziest most disgusting ****, but never once has he came across anything even remotely close to child pornography.

You ever have that feeling where something comes over you and you aren't afraid of anything, even if it's just for a split second? Like a sudden burst of self confidence?

It's almost like impulse, but feels different.

I ask because this feeling allowed me to talk to a girl waaaay out of my league, and the conversation went so much better than I thought I would. There's no way I could've done that in a normal mindset.

Anybody know how to control it?

Just curious, what are some quotes, experiences, or revelations you've had that have helped you grow?

You know, guidelines for life, love, self image, etc.?

One quote I like

"It is not the things that affect men, but their view of those things." -Epictetus

I've been playing guitar for five years and know some basic music theory. I can slowly read music, I understand key signatures and can define what notes I'm playing on my guitar.

The thing is, I want to understand more about constructing scales, chords and why something sounds the way it does. I want to broaden my horizons and understand styles such as blues and jazz.

I don't take guitar lessons and don't have money to spend on theory courses.

Are there any good websites or books that could help me excel, or are there any musicians that have some tips for me?

Thanks

There's this girl in my class who's way out of my league. One day I went up to her and started talking to her and we somehow had a 2 hour conversation, where I had her cracking up.

The next few classes we had, I tried talking to her but she didn't start any conversation so I just said "screw it" and stopped trying.

Yesterday, during a lecture, I asked a question and she turned around and glanced at me. I thought it was a coincidence until I asked another question and she looked over again... and again... and again.

I kept locking eyes with her, and she kept quickly looking away.

That's definitely a sign, right?

I went to talk to this girl during class and when I approached her she seemed a little taken back. It was awkward at first but eventually we started talking and the conversation lasted for over two hours. I had her cracking up and I engaged not only her but her friends too.

The day after that I tried talking to her again and for some reason she kind of blew me off. She wasn't bitchy, but she didn't engage in conversation like the day before.

I can't tell if she's just shy and doesn't know what to say, or if she just doesn't want to talk to me.

I don't know her well at all and have no idea how to talk to her. Any advice?

Also, we're 20 and in college.

I'm 20, in college, and there's this girl. Now she's gorgeous and, to be honest, seems out of my league.

Well a couple of days ago, my class had to write resumés and we had to have people critique them. All of a sudden something mustered up inside of me, and impulsively, I rolled my chair over to her and asked her to read mine.

She was caught off guard and it was awkward as hell until somehow we started talking about class. We started talking about stupid teachers while I was writing funny things on her resumé and I had her CRACKING UP.

She kept talking to me and we ended up talking from about 9:30 to 12:00. We weren't talking about anything too personal, but we carried a conversation and it went really well... I think.

The next day rolls by and I decide to try to talk to her again, except this time I had no Idea how to approach her. Eventually I overheard her say something about her resumé and I chimed in asked her if she kept the things I put on it.

She lightly chuckled, said she deleted what I added and kind of blew me off. I went back to my seat and wondered what I could've done differently.

tl;dr

So my question is, how do you initiate conversation with a girl without being awkward and sound like you're hitting on her? I've never been the guy to just walk up and start talking to people. I find that weird, but I know it's the only way I'll get to talk to her again. Also, she sits opposite of me in a computer class, so we're facing totally opposite directions. How should I approach her?

Any advice?

Thanks a lot

I bought a new HP computer and everything runs fine... however, I noticed that it has been making this strange noise. Im not sure if it's the harddrive but it sounds comparable to the noise a disk makes when it stops spinning.

Everything works fine, Im just a little concerned. it doesn't necessarily sound bad, but no noise emitting from a computer is good, especially one that just started.

thanks a lot.

First off, I'm 19, she's 21

There's this girl I work with who has recently been acting like she likes me. Recently It's gotten so obnoxious that multiple people have been teasing me about it. Whenever she stands next to me they say we should date, and she starts blushing.

-She teases me

-Hits me

-Pinches me

-Pokes me

-Puts her hand on my back for long periods of time

-Grabs my hand whenever she wants to show me something

-Whenever I tease her, she acts sad and tells me I'm mean. (She wants me to be nice to her)

-Constantly touches me in one way shape or form.

So obviously she acts like she likes me, but here's the thing.

-I have NOTHING in common with her, and she knows that.

-She only goes for one type of guy and I am FAR from that type.

-I know that she has feelings for her Ex and is talking to other guys.

-Basically, there's not a single reason as to why she would like me. It doesn't seem like an "opposites attract" kind of thing.

She comes off as very promiscuous, and I don't want to date her because of that, but I was just curious.

What the hell is up with her? We don't talk outside of work, but when we're working she acts like she has this huge crush on me.

So what's the deal?

Today I was using my GPS and it ended up taking me to my destination.

It says "Destination on right" meanwhile it was across the street on my left...

Last friday, my friend and I used his GPS to get to a concert, and the GPS took us to the general area where the concert was being held, not the actual building, leaving us confused and lost. If we didn't have common sense we would've been totally screwed.

So how many people have actually used a GPS that doesn't suck?
