I didn't see if this was addressed earlier so; Have you talked with your roommate about this? If he has already said he's not interested and he has a girlfriend, why not tell him he's cramping your style instead of getting worked up about it and planning around it? slash out with occam, fool!

yeeeeeah I talked with him about it afterward. he's said he won't do it again, which i was at least glad for. he will though.

but this time ill be prepared!

 

[jonnybryce]

Yeah, I know. But it's college...Uconn specifically. People don't really "date", and I wish they did, but mostly you just hang out if you're in their class, or organization or whatever. Otherwise you see people at parties.

Plus side is ill get another chance this friday

First, college students have boyfriends and girlfriends. Saying college kids don't date is b.s.

Second, hanging out with just her is a "date." If you can't do this or think it's a crazy concept college kids don't do, then wtf are you even "competing" for? You don't want to hang out with her anyway.

Ask her to hang out. Make out. Get something going.

Anyway, my roomate and I are very likely after the same girl. She's cute, but probably not hot by most standards. One night after both of us seeing her, I made the innocent comment of saying that I thought she was cute. He assured me that he did not.

Fast forward to a party being held at our house, and I'm in pretty good form. We're partners in some drinking games, she's awful at them, we're flirting, its the end of the night and she gives me a peck on the cheek before she leaves.

Plot twist! She doesn't leave, my roomate blindsides me by putting on the whole (in my opinion cheap and second-rate) "fake asshole" routine, basically "playfully" telling the girl to shut up, and calling her ugly and stupid. He's incredibly good at it. Long story short, I pathetically compete for her attention for about 10 minutes before leaving with what's left of my dignity.

I'm not sure if this girl is terribly smart or not, as I'd assume a girl who was would see through that crap, but without stooping to that level and assuming he'll use the same tactics, how can I win her over on my next opportunity?

Spoiler

I'm really hoping for at least a 1:10 advice to hassling ratio

 

[Loki]

Eh, half the time he's fine. He's just super competitive, at gaming, at sports, at knowledge in classes we have together, and apparently in girls too, though this is the first problem I've had in that regard. Most of the time I ignore it but in this case he broke several well known man codes. If anything he's consistent. He'll do the same thing the next time she's around

Alpha males for the loss. Some people just aren't gracious and considerate.

 

[agrajag]

Does she like anime?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

cut the bullshit and ask her out on a date. you'll have your win/fail answer post haste!
People might not date, but they will eventually and chances are if you ask her on a date she might think you are a 'grownup' and be surprised/interested.

I did exactly that once. Got the girl.

Spoiler

then moved to europe for her and got my heart ripped out lol

 

[Kevtones]

Just keep doing what you're doing.

 

[JetSetRadio]

When I was 15, I used to do the same thing, insulted a girl I liked, but always in a "funny" way. I felt she "liked" it too, and she always came over to me to slap me. Wich ended up in body contact, or me taking her in my arms telling in her ear that I didn't mean it offcourse. Unfortunately I couldn't stop and after a while, she must have been starting to think I really didn't like her :lol

Needless to say I ditched that behaviour in my future relationships.

 

[The Frankman]

Forget all the lame advice you've received so far, OP. Just wait for your moment and then:

RKO

 

[Agent Ghost]

Hire a bunch of gay prostitutes to stalk him. He'll be so busy covering his ass that he won't have a chance to chase after the girl.

Oh man, I check back on the thread and see this....fucking hilarious.

 

[gutterboy44]

Bitches love smileys. Send her a IM with a bunch of them.

:lol

 

[pakkit]

I need to try the you're ugly etc. method.

I mean, it obviously works because it's teasing. Attention whores especially like it.

It works for some girls, but the girls it works on are generally the ones I wouldn't want to date anyway. When I'm out partying with the people on my floor (who 2/3 of which use this "I'm a douchebag, now suck my prick" method), it's a good way for me to find that nice girl who doesn't put up with that shit.

That said, it doesn't sound like your girl was going for him. Some people are just naturally flirty (like me before I wanked it everyday to help me concentrate on my studies), so I wouldn't ditch the prize. Just keep nudgin', and thou shalt receive. And if she picks the tool over you, she wasn't worth it in the first place.

 

[Dark Octave]

Teasing is fun. Why would anyone see it as fake or cheap? I tease everyone I think is cool and have a friendly interest in, male and female.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

It's training man. He's the teacher and you're the student

You know how in Kung Fu Panda the teacher says "you are free to eat" but he keeps blocking the food?

Same thing here. You'll never be a true master until you can beat your roommate at his own game.

Now go out there and get that girl!

 

[Altruistic_Lies]

If you really want to get to know the girl - go after her.
And leave him to do what he does: be competitive.
You said he's in a relationship, so he just wants to flirt on the side. Nothing serious.
You've already discussed this with him, so it's time to pick up the slack!
Ask her to hang out before someone beats you to it.

Hmm... I'm out of touch with the wrestling world these days. I recognized that as DDP's Diamond Cutter.

 

[OxtheMidget]

Don't hate on fake asshole'ing, man. If done right, that shit works every time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Same move, different name.

To OP: I don't care what world you live in. Ask her out. Be a fucking man! Grow some fucking balls! if she says no, then screw it.

Seriously, no need to wait for the "moment". If you already did the "Hi, Hello", then you've already covered 90% of the process.

DP


for me.... for you if you and your roommate can pull it off. :lol

totally

the answer to everything

 

[Zapperkhan]

Lick her and call dibs imo.

 

[Ether_Snake]

RKO

I think the guy who pulled off the move hurt himself more than the victim.

 

[BladeWorker]

:lol

 

[Amory]

So anyway, I invited her to the party at our house on Friday, and she said she couldn't make it because of a family party she had to attend.



However, she did ask that I come out with her and her friend tomorrow night.


Fuckin' key.

 

[Amory]

sometimes people like a conclusion story.

I asked her out, she accepted. Good stuff.

Hell yea.

I was gonna post "JUST ASK HER OUT, SHE KISSED YOU!!!!11111", so good job.

Now kick your roommate in the shin.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Don't feel like starting a new thread. Anyways, theres this chick. Well, last weekend was the worst of my life. And I mean because I pretty much blacked out hardcore for 2 straight nights. And I may have hooked up with this girl. Twice. Maybe just one though. To tell you the truth I don't think I did at all. But this didn't stop my friends from thinking so. So last night when she gets to the bar they started chanting my name and yelling that I hooked up with this girl. I really like this girl but now I can't even look her in the face now after that. Ugh. Terrible.
