I know this topic is late but like tbh this is kind of disingenuous. Like, you only want to talk to an attractive person BECAUSE you're attracted to them. You usually don't know anything about them personally if they're a stranger. I think approaching someone and saying that you think they're pretty is honest and at the very least genuine. It's worked when I did it, however that being said I don't do it often, especially not when the person I see looks uncomfortable being in a social situation already.

Honestly I just don't like to "strategize" how I approach someone because it feels kind of weird. I just go up and say the most honest thing I can to them without making them uncomfortable.
There’s a difference between “strategizing” and just thinking about what you’re gonna say honestly

Oof. If everyone's drunk they might be ok with you breaking the ice with saying they're pretty. Otherwise, that's pretty risky.

Though, to be fair, isn't this the exact same way Erdrick got around to slowly becoming a reality? If I'm gonna be honest, I'm kinda having a bit of deja vu with this.

People began to say Mr. Dragon Quest when rumors started to become more concrete by notable info brokers, then it became a steady increase since. And while before I was hesitant on who this was, if she gives credit to people like Spawn, then now I can't help but listen out.

Not to mention, like I've said before, I'm pretty sure we'd all have this discussion other than the numerous times we've had to talk about Erdrick, Sugiyama or what have you.
I say I'm hopeful but Erdrick could have gone south fast if we didn't find Brave and didn't have Tansut. I'm cautiously optimistic but wouldn't be surprised if Banjo was a dud.

Also Noipoi Noipoi the closest I've ever been in a relationship was when I was friends with the girl in question. You know their interests, they know yours, you like each others company and wanna learn more, etc. Like one girl asked me out to my high school homecoming because I was just casually nice to her like I would be to any one worth a damn. You know that saying, "Just be yourself?" It is actually true because would you want someone to only like you because you looked hot? No, because that relationship will crumble at the soonest change and diminishes your actual good qualities. Treat her how you would treat any girl on Smashboards, but with less porn talk. That's my advice.

E: For the record, the reason my homecoming date didn't work out was because I friend zoned her. I wasn't ready for that type of commitment yet.

No no that's true, I meant like in general there's a whole culture of "pick up artists" and on a less extreme side there are people who try their best and plan out how to approach someone they find attractive. When in reality it doesn't work and it's kind of objectifying.

Dating isn't a science. There are things you most certainly shouldn't do, but there's no right way to shatter the glacier. Being honest helps though.

I am curious on what his Final Smash is going to be.
Is it going to be related to him screaming "OBJECTION!"?
Nah that be like a disjointed Smash attack. Not guilty verdict should be the final smash

thread anthem

some of y'all never watched mlp and it shows

granted i never watched mlp either but my point still stands
I actually have because my current girlfriend is into it and my previous love interest was as well. The show itself isn’t that bad. It’s the loud part of the weird fan base it has.

Yeah I can agree with that. That’s why my number one advice is to just be their friend and let it happen if it happens and if it doesn’t then at least you have a friend lol

I agree and disagree.

The advice I was giving was just everyday advice. Don't lead with physical compliments every time you meet a cute girl; regardless of your intentions, it's a superficial way to start a conversation and it corners your intentions. You can meet someone you find attractive and befriend them, too. It's not about "strategy", it's about being a well-rounded human being capable of talking to the opposite sex without "the opposite sex" being a factor. It's healthy.

That said, if one were doing this just to find a way to get closer to someone even though his only intention is hooking up, absolutely. That's disingenuous and gross. I know far too many people whose short-term relationships have crashed and burned due to men-- and women-- like that. But Noi doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.

Sorry, lovebirds, but who has time for your precious """""""""""romance"""""""""""" when we have a children's party game in which Super Mario can punch Pikachu in the face? Check and mate.

Hey sometimes it works.
It's double-edged tho, because you never know how someone can get when drunk, or also if they'll remember you :p
It some times works. My only reference is my roommate who ****s left and right and is in zero committed
My guy you really did it to 'em
:cool:
PFFFFTTT! I wish I did it to them in retrospect.

E: Wait we're talking about the date right?
