rejection is always better than not knowing. always.

Seconded.

 

[Sectorseven]

lol why did you need to tell us she's "quite average"?

Anyway, I'd just ask her out. What's the worst that will happen? She says no?

She could point and laugh and say "No woman could ever be interested in you and you will die alone."

Trust me on this.

 

[NingenJanai]

Trust me on this.

Yeah, but then he'd know she's a bitch and probably wouldn't want to date her anymore, unless she was super hot, but since she's average I think he'd be ok.

 

[Horse Detective]

Completely unrelated, but every time I see you in a thread I feel better because I assume you'll solve the case. Call it the power of a user name, tag and avatar, or just call it mere intuition, but thanks for doing what you do...

Thank you,

I am trying to solve more cases these days. I'm glad you appreciate my hard work.

 

[mackattk]

Just go through with it. Strike up a natural conversation and ask if she would want to get coffee sometime. Worst that can happen is that she would say no and you are going to leave the place soon anyway.

 

[rtcn63]

One- go buy and a shitload of chocolate cake, scotch, rum, whatever your poison. Get some porn onto your preferred media device of choice. Why? Because if she rejects you, it's going to hurt. You may not think it will, but if you're given her a special nickname and have made the effort to post about her on the internet, you're probably underestimating how badly your emotions can hit the fan.

Two- being average doesn't mean shit. I was attracted to a woman who looked like she'd been abusing cheap street narcotics for ten years, and she still figuratively twisted a lit cigarette into my arm while cackling like a fairy tale witch. I was an idiot for falling for her and thus mostly blame myself.

Three- just talk to her. People who are interested in someone are usually pretty obvious about it. If she looks like she's flirting, then sure, ask her out. If she looks like she wants you to go fuck off, then go fuck off. Do some lifts, return home, queue up the smut, and throw yourself into that cake and scotch.

 

[markofhavoc]

If you don't ask, then she already said no. The truth is if you don't, you will always wonder what could have happened. The worst she says is no, don't listen to sad people saying she could make you feel bad, that shit is in your head. Just ask for coffee, and give two times. "You want to grab some coffee next Monday or Wednesday?" People tend to pick from the available options you give them.

 

[super-heated plasma]

Maybe she thinks you're just average too, and you can be just average together. Think of the average life you will have with her! One day you guys will have an average wedding, spit out a couple of average kids, and live in an average neighborhood. You'll wake up in the morning to go to your average work. Your average wife will get your average kids off to their average school, and take care of your average house or be off to an average job of her own.

Doesn't that just sound average?!

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

"Hello, my name is Samuel Gaf. I regard you as average, and yet you are alluring in ways I cannot yet explain. Would you like to go to dinner? And don't worry about this getting awkward, as I'm about to leave my job so our budding relationship won't affect me on any professional level."

Fantastic start to my day LOL. Just do it OP. Worse she can say is "no thank you."

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

rejection is always better than not knowing. always.

Maybe from OP's point of view. But unwanted and unnecessary approaches can be a real annoyance. It's probably not the first time for the girl.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Didn't you read she was quite average?

 

[Dilly]

"She isn't overly beautiful or anything. In fact shes quite average."

Why would you even say this, what does it matter?

 

[Mr. Sam]

Treat her like a regular (perhaps, dare I say, average-looking) human being and ask her if she would like to get a coffee with you. If she says no, fuck it, who cares?

 

[ArjanN]

Didn't you read she was quite average?

Let's be honest, unless she looks like the elephant man she's had some experience with this.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Take her to a restaurant where the food is average. She may feel comfortable there.

Lmao I almost choked on a pringle.

 

[Lulubop]

Tell her you wanna give her a real work out.

 

[Amory]

Maybe from OP's point of view. But unwanted and unnecessary approaches can be a real annoyance. It's probably not the first time for the girl.

yeah that's true too. but if he's casual about it it shouldn't be a big deal for her even if she isn't interested.

 

[Fury451]

Maybe from OP's point of view. But unwanted and unnecessary approaches can be a real annoyance. It's probably not the first time for the girl.

That's probably true for every woman ever though, so either she's become so annoyed she has sworn off anyone showing interest, or just ones that make it awkward.

That's why you chat first- gauge interest and if there's something there, ask. No harm in that. If you're not a creepy weirdo about it, the worst is she'll politely decline and you both go on your merry.

Just make sure to treat her just as well after you ask, even if she says no.

 

[Steez]

lmao, some of y'all are savage as fuck.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Before you part ways with her next, end on "Hey, before you go, I was wondering if you'd maybe wanna grab a coffee sometime?" If she says no, oh well. She says yes, great.

 

[Mr.Pig]

What is this nonsense about Ororo being average looking?
She is beautiful, and I have already asked her out and she said yes.
She will be Mrs.Pig shortly. ;-)

 

[Neoriceisgood]

"people on an online video game forum told me to ask you out and not mention to you that I find you average.. so do you wanna ... go out?"

 

[hobblygobbly]

Maybe from OP's point of view. But unwanted and unnecessary approaches can be a real annoyance. It's probably not the first time for the girl.

Possibly but we live in a society where men are expected to "make the first move", i.e dates, engagement, marriage, unfortunately there's nothing to do but be the one to approach. If rejected then leave be, but I mean there's really no other way to go about it.

 

[>:)]

Pretty much what everyone already said, but somewhere along your quest for average, don't forget to tell her you'll upgrade her membership for free. Guaranteed to work dude.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

It's probably her personality that he finds attractive about her.

 

[Condom]

If you don't ask, then she already said no. The truth is if you don't, you will always wonder what could have happened. The worst she says is no, don't listen to sad people saying she could make you feel bad, that shit is in your head. Just ask for coffee, and give two times. "You want to grab some coffee next Monday or Wednesday?" People tend to pick from the available options you give them.

You can still feel bad even though it's just in your head. Don't do it OP, think of the pain. Fuck pain man.

 

[Visceir]

Turn it into an elaborate musical number, ask your friends to help out to be the background dancers/singers. She'll be floored for sure.

 

[NingenJanai]

It's probably her personality that he finds attractive about her.

because he knows her so well after 5 min, I think he might have an average fetish.

 

[Jarrod38]

"people on an online video game forum told me to ask you out and not mention to you that I find you average.. so do you wanna ... go out?"

Hope the OP uses his Xbox Live Diamond card on the first coffee date.

 

[Plywood]

First, you'd have to deactivate her bitch shield. This is achieved through some persistent kino escalation. Since you're at a gym, this should be easy. Sounds like you already have negging down, so just keep a monitor on IOI levels and be wary of LMR.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

I'm pretty sure GTD means "get things done", but I originally took it as "get the D" lol.

You gotta nut up or shut up.

Actually GTD means Get The Draws

 

[True Savior]

Create a thread on GAF asking her out , tell her to register and wait.

 

[Jimnymebob]

If you're confident you can talk to Ororororo without saying "Would you like to grab a coffee sometime? I I I mean I don't really find you attractive or anything erm b b but if you're busy then it's cool bye..." and shuffling away awkwardly then you're good to go.

You can only go up from their, and if you manage to embarrass yourself more than that then it'd be a monumental achievement of hilarious proportions.

 

[sir_kevith]

I say not to ask her out if you just signed her up for a membership. How would you like it if you just became a member some place and the very dude that signed you up starts hitting on you?

I'm not saying never ask her out but at least try to talk to her and get to know her a bit before you cross that line. She's your customer and you dont want to make things awkward.

EDIT: I didn't read the whole OP lol, I'm guilty. Just ask her out you got nothing to lose accept your self esteem.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

"Hey."

"Yea?"

""You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning?"

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Tell her you want to see her Ororo Boreal-ass.

Spoiler

Don't do that.

 

[Rival]

Tell her that the allure of her averageness is too much for you to take and as a result you'd like to buy her a coffee and by buy I mean make sex with and by a coffee I mean vagina. That always works for me.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Actually GTD means Get The Draws

I looked it up and am now even more confused.

 

[zma1013]

"Would you like to buy me some coffee?"

[greepoman]

Maybe you're too focused on GTD (martin reference?) and some girls see through it and lose interest and if it does happen you've been so focused on it you no longer have a goal and lose interest yourself? Maybe try changing your focus?


Or maybe you are just over thinking it and just need to date more.

 

[farisr]

lets call her Ororo

lmao

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

"Hello, my name is Samuel Gaf. I regard you as average, and yet you are alluring in ways I cannot yet explain. Would you like to go to dinner? And don't worry about this getting awkward, as I'm about to leave my job so our budding relationship won't affect me on any professional level."

Fucking lol

Yes! Its from Martin lol

 

[Wiz]

Why are we calling her Ororo. lol

 

[commedieu]

People still don't know they can just speak to people and gauge their interest from a conversation?

Its an option. Just a normal conversation would lead you to know if its appropriate to continue in a maybe-flirtatious way, or move on.

 

[dh4niel]

[gatling]

Why are we calling her Ororo. lol

She is his summer storm. His rolling thunder. A modest goddess. She's just ...she's just hopelessly average. Gym lockers pan into intro themesong. Cue logo.

 

[John Kowalski]

Who the hell is named Ororo? Check yourself OP. Do you want kids called Chuckalucka or Bad Hair Pits?

You don't. Let her go.

 

[Raptomex]

I hope she doesn't ask if you think she's attractive at some point. If that happens I'd love to hear the story if you're honest with her.
