I get the whole regret is worse than rejection thing but not really when you still have to see the person all the time. I also don't want to make it weird and throw away a beneficial friendship.
Can I get her number if you're just gonna stand in the corner and look sad?

(get it son)

As long as you don't ask in a completely creepy way, she'll be flattered even if she isn't interested. And if she does reject you, it doesn't have t be awkward, just act the same way around her that you do now, and the potential for awkwardness will disappear.

ETA: My post assumes she isn't married and is an appropriate dating age for you.

The girl has these awesome purple leggings that just have pictures of Biggie's head all over them. So I texted her, "Be your best friend if you wear the Biggie leggings at tennis tonight." She texted back, "Haha, I don't know if I can deal with not having pockets but I could totally use some new best friends."

Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out if she was hinting that she just wants to be friends even though she was clearly just playing off of what I said. I'm a god damn disaster.

Anyway, I hope she tells you to "Just Get it In." (That was the logo on my coed naked tennis shirt that we wore in high school).

There is a bunch of co-ed naked activities. The one I remember the best was poker or cards. Liquor up front, poker in the rear.

Get a pair of Tupac tights and next time she wears her start aggressively slamming your crotch and ass into her while yelling “whoa its seems they still really don’t like each other huh?” and see if she seems into it.

Had a great coed naked sailing shirt my sister bought me from Washington College. Wore it under my soccer jersey for my junior season. A mom was upset when she saw it at the Maccabi games.. but it is true about sailing...if it does not blow it sucks.

Doesn't make an awful lot of sense. We already hang out at each other's places. Hell, I was over there for 5 hours last night just getting high and listening to records. Getting her from one of our couches to the bar seems counterproductive.

Getting high, for me anyways, would be super counter productive for making a move. I get so inside my own head, I'd over think the fuck out of it, and be paralyzed to physical make a move after mentally deciding to, which would take 10 times longer than it would sober, and 100 times longer than if I was drinking. Getting high at a party, I'd sit in a corner convinced everyone was laughing at me. Then my crotch would feel warm, and I'd think I pissed myself 10 times a night.

I don't really get the whole "Netflix and chill" thing anyway. Words means things. If there's supposed to be some sort of implication behind, "Wanna come over, get high, and listen to records," it's completely lost on me.

As always, I blame religion.

So I asked her if it'd be cool if I bought a pair of Tupac pants, walked in her house and screamed "THAT'S WHY I FUCKED YOUR BITCH YOU FAT MOTHERFUCKER," proceeded to violently rap "Hit 'em Up" at her in her kitchen, then drop the mic, walk out the door, and go home.

She said not only would she be into it, but nothing would make her happier. Then admitted that she's actually more of a west coast girl at heart and sent me a picture of her and Snoop Dogg.

I think I'm in love. Watching me screw this up is going to be gut-wrenching for you guys.

If you can say what you said, and get that response, you CAN'T fuck this up. Seriously. Worst case scenario, she just wants to be friends, this doesn't sound like a woman who is going to get offended by you making a move. She might be offended if you don't make a move, and the longer you wait, the worse your chances, so fucking go for it!

I know. I really hope it works out because she may have ruined other women for me.

You guys keep telling me to make a move. What is a move? Seriously. I don't think I have a move. Would that be like trying to kiss her or announcing that I'd like to kiss her or just telling her I want to be more than friends? I think I'm trying to figure out what would cause the least amount of shame if it backfired.

A simple "you tryin' to get that pipe?" should suffice.

But seriously, it might be time to just admit you're an awkward divorcee and you haven't done this in a while, and while you may be misreading, you hope you aren't and you were wondering if maybe you could take her out on an "official" date.

I don't know, I ain't done this in forever what are you asking me for?
