not sell them Polter-Flakes.
Fine, fine, I will definitely shampoo tomorrow!
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But bring your Honey-Roasted Polter Crunch.
No, I have no idea what that means.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For sure bring your Polter Krispies; that way you will snap, crackle, and pop!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Well, it's true...it's also true that it would be easier to look at footage of an encounter going right and say "like that," than describe what some of those things are like."Relax..." is trite and not-helpful though...you're right. Maybe staying in the moment? Because I know sometimes I meet someone cool and either I start planning our relationship...or picturing how wrecked I'll be when they don't call, or are secretly ableist bigots, or whatever...

Our wings are not tired.
Here is my best advice: don't think about it from the POV of "attracting women." Think about it from the POV of wanting to find out what these cool nerd women are like. Someone whose attitude is "I want to get to know you, Other Interesting Person," is WAY more appealing than "I want you to find me attractive!"
This is really, really, good advice. Show interest in them. And don't just flirt with the cute ones!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Aims inspired me to look up some BBT advice. You could say this:
Hi. I'm Leonard. You are beautiful. You pop, sparkle and buzz e-lec-tric. I'm going to pick you up at eight, show you a night you will nev-er for-get.
Maybe drop the "I'm Leonard." Other than that, works like a charm, I bet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., I second the suggestion to get a haircut like that. It will look fantastic on you. Just ask the stylist to show you how to make it happen yourself.
I used to be confused and bewildered when guys seemed interested in me too. I solved the problem by, um, well, deciding that I deserved it. I know, not helpful.

The "Try but not too hard! Flirt but don't be flirty!" stuff just makes me think of the recent XKCD "what someone is thinking during conversation" thing. Which is SO TRUE.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Trying to NOT try too hard SUCKS. Because then you keep wondering "Am I trying too hard? How about now? HOW ABOUT NOW?" and then you spontaneously combust in a bonfire of introspection, stress, and self-doubt.This is SO me. SoooooooOOoo me. Vapor lock. Everytime. Which is why I'm still single.
P-C, good luck! Be your self. It's a nerd on nerd event, so, that should make it easier!

I killed the thread. Sorry about that.
So. What did I learn today?
- Golf carts do not have power steering
- Golf carts have horrible turning radius
- When they put up traffic barriers, people fit through, golf carts often do not
- must learn way around campus via golf cart access points
But hey, much easier than walking around campus. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
