Support NeoGAF

[threetri333]

I am trying to get myself to talk to her, but I am hesitant in doing so. She's on her laptop and I don't know if I should bother her or give her company. What should I do GAF?

She seems to be coughing a bit, so a water bottle would be a nice ice breaker. Edit: She has a water bottle of her own.

Ummm, my looks mirror my avatar, is that an advantage?

Edit: I talked to her and we had a nice chat. It turns out we went to the same university and she graduated a year earlier than me. It turns out that she has a boyfriend, but we became friends and talked more over at Starbucks.

 

[tornjaw]

You don't. She's in the library because she's busy.

 

[.GqueB.]

You don't. You'd have to have some awkward whisper conversation. Better to follow her outside like a creep.

 

[Clegg]

Tbf if she's in the library its probably because she wants to get some work done. And you'd hardly be able to talk to her in a library of all places.

I wouldn't bother her in there.

 

[eternaLightness]

Don't. Just stare at her from a distance.

 

[Camp Lo]

Oh boy, subscribing to this shit.

On topic, take a pic of her.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Just stalk her until she notices you.

Library pickups are rarely successful

unless you're the librarian

 

[Count Dookkake]

"Girl, I'ma check you out like a book."

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Wait for her to reach for a book in the shelf and then reach for the same book and let your hands touch.

Boom!

What is it about her that entices you so?

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Don't. Just stare at her from a distance.

and lick your face while doing so

 

[Fireblend]

1. Collect as many books as possible. Make sure they sound interesting.

2. Put them in your arms forming a stack so that you can't see what's ahead.

3. Walk towards her and "accidentally bump" into her, throwing all books to the floor.

4. ????

5. Success.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

"Are you an overdue library book? Because you have fine written all over you."

BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A LIBRARY!!!

 

[Boom Boom Pow]

"hey, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I was wondering if you want to have intercourse tonight".

Say it with the most serious face you have

 

[joelseph]

Take a pic of her from behind and post it on Reddit. With any luck she too will be a Redditor and a strange romance will bloom.

 

[BeerSnob]

and lick your face while doing so

If your tongue is long enough to lick your entire face, it may work.

 

[strafer]

Scream I love you.

 

[snacknuts]

"Girl, I'ma check you out like a book."

You can do whatever you want to me.

Also, "Your period, like these books, had better not be late."

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

"hey, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I was wondering if you want to have intercourse tonight".

Say it with the most serious face you have

That's what I call a ticket to jail

 

[JetBlackPanda]

The shit woman have to endure on a daily basis. Can't even go to the library.

ps. Subscribed.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Are you in high school? I thought you all knew the standard procedure.

Pass her a note as you leave, then run away like a coward. Twenty minutes later, realise that you wrote the note in such a way as to leave her no way to contact you.

 

[Pau]

I don't approach girls at the library, but I am sometimes the girl approached so my advice is: don't do it while she looks like she's busy.

Actually scratch that. Try all the library related pick up lines you can.

 

[Malvolio]

Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?!

"I noticed you were coughing so I poured you a glass of water."

Speaking from experience? (;

 

[Sober]

I am loving these library pickup lines.

 

[Golden Slumbers]

Yes do this

 

[Mistouze]

At least be funny so you aren't a total waste of her time.

 

[Sapiens]

You impress her with your best Borat impressions as it relates to being in a library.

Borat "Wawawewa, No womans should be learnings how to read. You will be maiwaiffe!"

She will fall instantly in love. Do this as loudly as possible.

 

[iSnakeTk]

Girl,I can read you you like an open book. You want me, right ?!

 

[The Librarian]

Walk up behind her and give her hair a nice tug. I heard a rumor that girls really like that.

 

[Kano on the Phone]

"I can see that you're very busy, but I was unable to find out how to approach you from the members at a message board I frequent, so may I take you for a malted?"

 

[joelseph]

Can you help me find a book? (Madonna's SEX book.)

 

[Mumei]

I saw a man attempt this at the library last year. It started with him asking if she knew him (no), and then went to him asking if she had a boyfriend (yes), and then went to him asking (I'm sorry, begging-while-trying-so-desperately-to-keep-it-light) if she wanted a friend (not you!), and then ended with her saying with complete exasperation, "Oh my GOD," when he wouldn't stop asking if she needed a friend.

So I would suggest not going that route.

 

[jasonng]

"Girl, I'd like to lean you against the shelves and alphabetize you if you know what I mean."

 

[Kisaya]

Leave her alone lol.

I'd say if she was reading a book maybe make a comment if it's something you've read. Otherwise you're just gonna annoy her and look like an ass.

 

[Dark Octave]

Why is she coughing so much?

The perfect ice breaker would be to ask her if she has the hiv.

 

[BronsonLee]

... This is going to end badly, isn't it

 

[Burai]

Throw a book at her face whilst shouting "BOOK!" really, really loudly.

 

[akira28]

She's probably not looking for company. But why not just take the seat across from her, and be like "hey sorry if I'm bothering you, but I saw you sitting here and I had to ask. You want to go out for coffee later? Maybe give me your phone number and I'll call you?"

If she's up for it, you'll get a good response. If she's not at all (boyfriend, hesitant, really busy) then it's quick and done and you keep it moving.

 

[hEist]

not in the library. wait outside.
maybe she find it creepy or cute. 50/50.

 

[Fireblend]

Wait I have an amendment to my plan. Figure out what she's reading, then pick books based on that.

When she leans in to help you pick up the books, you'll glance towards what she was reading and say, "oh, you were also researching/reading <INSERT TOPIC HERE>?".

You're pretty much done at that point.

 

[kirblar]

Wait for her to look for you for help.

Then whisper "No."

 

[EnderWiggles]

"Sssshhhhh"
-"What?"
"SSHHHHHH!"
-"I'm not being loud!"
"You will be when I make you scream"

 

[Shig]

"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."

 

[Lissar]

Oh, I've had guys approach me in a library!

Have an interest in what she is reading or looking up, but don't feign interest as it's really obvious when you don't actually want to talk about books. Faking interest in books = instance annoyance/turn off. (If she's in the library, she's probably into books. So... be prepared for that I guess!?) If she is not interested in talking (which will PROBABLY happen) DON'T PUSH IT. It's really annoying when you want peace and quiet with your books and some guy won't take a hint. (Especially when the hint is, "I'm sorry, I'd really like to finish this chapter.")

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Do the exact opposite of this, by which I mean do this.

 

[Jarlaxle]

This guy keeps staring at me right now in the library. It's really turning me on. I wish he would just come over here and bend me right over the table. The last thing I want to do right now is be quiet.

 

[Mudkips]

Quietly.
