Oy...I think I have a crush on my lab partner....

[bicentennial_baby]

My Zoology lab partner is sooo cute, and I think I've developed a raging crush on her. She's adorable, smart, and single! Problem is, I get so stupidly shy in these situations, I usually do nothing about it. Argggh...what to do?

1. The shyness stuff-It will kill you

Be brave. and go ask her out. It rteally is the only way

Good Luck

j/k

3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

coffee just shot out of my nose.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. LOL

no, I have a feeling cheezy science jokes are'nt her cup o' tea. She seems more like the "hey, wanna get it on?" type, as far as i can tell, and that approach is definitely not my forte'.

23. I had a similar experience

It took the full first term for me to ask this girl in my English class for a date. Turned out she was a real party girl, I was a quiet nerd, the date was a total catastrophe. Be careful.

4. Be smooth ...

suggest that you and her study together. That'll give you time with each other and go from there.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. That was my thinking too

Study session might be easier to suggest than a social get-together, as far as the shyness goes.

[Nlighten1]

5. That happened to me too.

But it was Chemistry class. She was a hotty.

6. It's not like you don't have anything in common

She's your lab partner, for crying out loud.

Tell her you're going to go for coffee (or a sandwich, or whatever) after lab and you were wondering if she'd like to go too. No pressure. No hassle. Just two lab partners partaking in post-lab victuals.

Then see what develops from there.

But for crying out loud, make the move.

8. Compliment her, Charlie Brown

You're post reminded me of him and the little red-headed girl he adored. He lost out, and so did the Wooden Indian sung by Hank Williams in "Kalija" (check for spelling)because they didn't say anything. If she's all that some other man might snatch her up. Call her by name and tell her how you think she is so smart, women love that too. Ask her out for coffee and be funny. Humor is great. Lots of luck and keep us posted.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Well I know that

"tell her how you think she is so smart, women love that too"

Lol, I'm a woman too! :P But thanks for the advice! :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Oh no worries there

"If she's all that some other man might snatch her up"

She's a lesbian :evilgrin:

[Blue_Chill]

11. Ask her to grab a coffee with you after class

and then if all goes well ask her what she's into. Maybe she'll mention something you both like and that will lead to an opening to ask her out.

[Guaranteed]

12. Take a hip flask with some whiskey in it to class.

When she's not lookin take a swig or two of that liquid courage. Repeat until charming.

14. The Irish COurage

Yep

[bicentennial_baby]

15. How about Vodka?

I'm very charming after a couple Bloody Marys...Just gotta make sure I get it out before I hit the slurring my words phase of inebriation. :P

[ZenLefty]

13. Ask her if she wants to study at a coffee shop

I always see students studying at coffee shops, so it can't be that out of style. A meeting or two outside the lab, and you will be able to tell if she's interested or not.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Vanity kick

I need all the help I can get! :P

[binaryline]

18. You're in western MA, right?

Ask her to go for a post-class drink at Hugo's in Noho. Hugo's has a decent jukebox full o' tunes, cheap drinks, and a slightly rowdy crowd. It'll be a good place to go for that "getting to know you outside of class" phase, but it won't seem too much like a date.

Just my .02 ;-).

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Thanks for the tip!

I think she said yesterday that she goes there...good idea!

[binaryline]

26. Yer welcome-- and good luck! n/t

[Cottonball]

19. The way I hear it...

As always with these situations, my wifes lab partner like her and she like someone elses partner! When will it end!

[slinkerwink]

21. it's fun to have a crush on classmates.....

The thing is don't have crushes on unattainable women (such as women with girlfriends or boyfriends)

I've learned that the hard way.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. No problem there

She's currently partner-less, and from what I can gather, available. Ack, I'm such a dork! :crazy:

[slinkerwink]

24. hey, you know what?

do a really cool lab experiment---something fun that you can do that'll get her attention. I'm thinking of something like magically changing liquids or having smoke come out of a flask.....

[bicentennial_baby]

27. I can do that!

I think it was my Chem lab a few weeks ago...Magnesium and hydrochloric acid, made a pretty purple flame swirl around on top of the water and a puff of smoke came out...it was pretty cool.


Note to self: use diluted HCL, so as to not disfigure the pretty girl.

:think:

[slinkerwink]

28. yeah, do that!

Just pretend it was an accident that you did that ;-) Women love to talk about fun stuff....*sigh* why must I be single? heh...

[JohnKleeb]

25. I get shy too

Hope you can gain the courage as can I. :toast:
