Yesterday at work I was at the tilll when these two girls came in the shop. They were about 10 years old and kept staring at me. Eventually they came up to me giggling and asked if they could ask me some questions. I was a bit confused but said yes. They then asked "How old are you?" I asked why but they giggled and said they were sent by their brother to investigate me. :p

Do you send your friends or worse your little sister to the person you fancy or do you do it yourself? :mog:

Ahahaha, that's super cute. xD I bet BoB was full of jealousy and fury and went super saiyan and fought this competitor!

I do it myself, generally. I do tend to tell my close friends though so they can tell if they think the person likes me, or if they person said anything about liking me to them. Worked for me last time. :bigsmile:

Do you "do it" yourself? :jokey:
(Sorry, couldn't resist, thats like, one of the only two good parts in that movie. :p)


But I wouldn't send someone else, that just seems pathetic. :p

Awwww smittie! :kaoclove: That's what you get for being so beautiful.

I dunno. I feel embarassed to use other people for whatever especially in finding out stuff about someone I like.
I will usually just go and say to a boy 'Um I like you! Please let me get to know you!' or do things to get to know him.

But I would really feel super giddy if someone who liked me tried to get to know me by asking other people about me for him. :kaoclove: that would be so cute and cool.

My friends end up knowing when I have a crush on someone because I'm so obvious about it etc. and they may try and help out (e.g. optimal movie seating (http://xkcd.com/173/)) but I would never ask them.

Earlier this year a friend of mine recruited me to try and do this. It was super awkward and fell through pretty quickly. Granted, I half hoped it would be like a teen movie and the guy would fall for me instead because that would have been much with the lawls.

I get a sudden image of BoB in an alley way bludgeoning some guy with a bag full of Ciddies pop up in my head for some reason.

As for sending people to get info on a potential mate, genius I've never thought of that before. I think I'll need to rework my strategies in this 'dating' battle thing. :shifty:

Nope, my little sister is a jerk and kinda past the cute stage. Although I do have a little cusin I can exploit. But alas, I am terribly timid in the real world and won't do a thing but buy stuff from the cute bookstore girl(s).

I am charming enough to do it myself.. although i do always screw it up in the end.. but if i'd ask this of my friends, they'd laugh at me.. and my little sister.. she'd hit me.. hard!

I prefer it if somebody has the guts to tell me themselves rather than getting somebody else to do it.

I'll always tell the person myself, or if I am being a coward I just won't tell them at all. Similar to Rye, I might ask a friend for advice or for an opinion or something. :jess:

This. Doing it yourself is the way to go. Doing otherwise reminds me of the awkward days of being 11-14 years old :monkey:

For curiosity sake, is that a statistical graph behind that guy in the picture? :bigsmile:

Using somebody else would be even more embarrassing than doing it yourself! I think that's crossing the line between shyness and cowardice.

Hah, that's a super cute story!

You should just do it yourself otherwise someone like Kes (or me) would still him or her from you! For instance (well, this wasn't my fault) I was talking with a few friends when mariah said to me, "That man over there (An upperclassmen) is the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my entire life!" And he was so I agreed. When Jordan called over to him and said,"She thinks your hot!" but he pointed at me instead of my friend so he laughed and told me I was hot and now we talk every so often when we see each other.:jess:

That guy? That guy? Good God, woman. Learn yourself some Tintin.

I'd rather do it myself. Naturally I'd consider enlisting a number of people to help me set up a comprehensive spy network to get some recon duties out the way and to verify any existing intelligence before making any moves on any particular female. However, once I've checked the intelligence and cross-referenced it, I'd be man enough to ask myself. That's right ladies, I'm willing to rival MI5 for your hearts.

I have a crazy disability called "Unbelievable shyness" which stops me from telling any guy that I like them. I've never, EVER told a guy I have a crush on how I feel, and I've never got my friends to do it either. It's pretty sad.:(

It's, uh... never come up, really. I did send my friend to break up with my boyfriend of a week in 7th grade though. I was pretty mad at him and didn't even want to look at him.

I'd always do it myself, but I'd send in a scouting party first. Usually I find out if the person is seeing someone before I even try. So far my success rate has been 0%.

No, BoB would just hit on the interloper and scar him for life

On topic, no, I'd never get someone to "investigate" a girl for me. I'm not twelve. On the other hand, I am happily single, so I don't try very hard at all anyways.

I asked why but they giggled and said they were sent by their brother to investigate me. :p


you should have called the brother over and said "your actually kinda cute.... i might have been interested if you had the balls to ask me yourself, WUSSY!!!

when i actually see someone im interested in i go ask them problem is i usually see them in a different town, like i saw this real cute chick 75 miles to the east

im in a small town so all the chicks there know my fucked up history so that tends to kill me chances

I don't like having too many people getting involved with my love life so I do those kind of things myself.

I don't tell any of my friends who I'm REALLY REALLY into, but my best friend usually picks up on it and gets me a guys number because I'm shy ><

I do tend to tell my close friends though so they can tell if they think the person likes me, or if they person said anything about liking me to them. <s>Worked for me last time. :bigsmile:</s> This is how it often happens with me. In the past, well-intentioned friends have offered to 'investigate' for me - i.e., talk to her to gauge her opinion of me. Outcomes not good.

These days, I usually keep the details of my infrequent attractions strictly to myself, though I'll occasionally talk about it with one or two people. Either way, I always follow it up by doing nothing about it and just waiting for it to go away.

i usually make the first move all the friggin time. D; i hate doing it but i hate sitting around waiting around to find out if someone likes me. it pisses me off. bollocks, it lets me get it down and be like "you like me, okay, good. no? great whatever." and it really lets me separate myself from being hurt because i'm never wondering about anything.

Jojee

I pretty much never make the first move :p If I like a guy I'll wait for him to make the first move. If he doesn't... he sucks D: he should.

If I don't actually like the guy I have no trouble making the first move though / hitting on people excessively /etc xD Then it's just all in good fun.

self. even tho i'm kinda :skull::skull::skull::skull:ty, i guess DIY is better than asking others to do. what if the person ends up liking the guy?

BardTard
04-30-2008, 09:56 PM
I let other people do the chasing.
Actually, they just kind of do it without me wanting it, most of the time.

But if I WANT to chase other people, I'll do it myself without asking other people to do it for me. But I do have an aunt who gives out my number to Steak and Shake against my will. :(

Rye

I've never really asked a guy out myself, so in that way, I don't make the first move, but I flirt like crazy.
