As a socially awkward and nervous guy, this made me pretty happy today.

Good job! After the first time it gets easier - now go do it again!

I love how you continued to walk passed her car and away from your bike to not look stupid. But anyway, nice job, I'm happy for you.

chip812 · 3 months

Nope, nope, nope... When you got to her car, you should have turned around... This DOES NOT look stupid... This shows that you went out of your way to walk her to her car... Thoughtful gesture... (besides, never be afraid to look stupid - how you look can be interpreted so many ways and the person that will think you look stupid is not worth your time)...

Good for you! I love it when shy/nervous guys work up some courage.

Awww this is so cute! Congratulations!

Clearly she likes you for who you are so let the real you show on your lunch date!

Let us know how it goes? :D

Edit: Upvotes for linking to the Queen song that I've had in my head all day ;D

Make sure you never post results and leave us hanging!

Ahhh, reddit...

Japanesekanji · 3 months

This story made me smile. Then I smiled even more when I imagined if it worked out with you two, and one day she was just checking through your Reddit submissions and ran across this. ^{^}

Awesome dude. It's good to see that you were proactive because the longer you wait, the harder it gets. All it takes is 5 seconds and bam, it's over. As someone said, it gets easier the more you do it.

I hope this will be a huge, permanent boost in your confidence.

Nephrastar · 3 months

Good job! Make sure you let us know what happens next! :)

Ashex · 3 months

Ahaha, I've done that before. I once walked halfway around campus so a girl I was walking to class wouldn't know mine was right next to the one we had together.

fb2k · 3 months

One of the biggest challenges, good job!

jackoutsidethebox · 3 months

congrats on stepping up!

i guess you were lucky that she agreed, if she had shot you down you'd probably refrain from asking a girl out in the near future (i know, i'm currently in that place :( )

anyway, the closer the date will be, the more you'll become nervous, so much to the point where the night before the date you won't be able to sleep and instead think of all the things that could go wrong. and then you'll feel sick all day until you're seeing her.

but anyways good luck from a fellow SAP!

WifeOsaM · 3 months

Good for you but just a tip next time go ahead and walk back to your bike...I would see it as your being a gentleman by walking out of your way

GBRBUGEATER · 3 months

The first time is the hardest. Hope it works out.

I felt like this my first time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhUkGIsKvn0

Advice for the date: If you get nervous and can't think of anything to say I recommend having a fallback sentence prepared to break any awkward silences. The ideal one would of course be a question. Might I suggest "What's your favorite dinosaur?"

live52 · 3 months

Good on you but I think you should take 5mg of Valium as soon as you wake up. It's only life friend.

aboynamedsu · 3 months

Good for you, bro. It's all about the confidence.

That Queen was tight as fuck....you are in the grrrooove. Git 'er dun mang! I know how you feel nervous and all that but ya know what she likes you and YOU DESERVE IT. For realz.....

Cadamar · 3 months

Good on you buddy. Even if it doesn't work out (positive thoughts!) then you should hold your head high.

But yes. Ask about her. Talk about her. Show interest. Be interested.

senae · 3 months

You are a hero.

bluthbanana20 · 3 months

I hope you really didn't bid her adieu. You want to see her again soon (au revoir or however the frenchies spell it). You don't want to see her with god.

GOOD LUCK OP

MasterEdge · 3 months

Man, I'm "confident", I've been on dozens of dates, etc. etc. etc.. one thing I've found is that it's more common for me to wait for a woman to ask me out, so I miss out on a lot of great opportunities.

I have mad respect for you guys who just roll straight through your fear of rejection and go for it! I'm glad you got a positive response on your first shot. Hopefully it all works out, bro!

I finally met a woman I can settle down with, and she did pretty much exactly what you did, but to me. She tamed that which could not be tamed.

bexisonfire · 3 months

Awesome! That delivery is good too, it sounds super confident! Now just make sure not to put her on a pedestal and make yourself nervous. She's just a person and obviously has interest in you if she said yes to going out.. :) As for the bike thing..well I've done shit like that loads of times! :]

joker91 · 3 months

Congrats, dude. You seem like a really cool guy. Keep it up!

esreveRPsychosis · 3 months

God, this makes me so happy. Reminds me of how my boyfriend admitted his whole... thing to me. I am very happy for you! Best wishes.

fuzzwell · 3 months

This just shows you that you are attractive and that you can do it and are worthy. DO NOT try too hard and be obsessed. Just do the normal thing that you'd do if you were any other guy. Call when you want to go out, don't obsess over her, just be normal.

Every time you think you are about to do something too awesome to impress her... Seriously, calm down. Little things count. Writing her loves notes in bottles and throwing them in the ocean trying to get one to float up and have her pick it up on your walk on the beach together because you are that awesome.... is too much.

Lay low and just keep it simple.
