Morning.

The next day, I made fool of myself (or a good case, depending on your outlook) in front of my buddy and a local girl I really like. She works at a local shop, and when we stopped in, I almost ran her over coming around a corner in one of the aisles. My brain short circuited (ha ha, electrical joke), and I just stood there like an idiot, my eyes wide open and apparently (so I'm told) a really dumb ass look on my face. I did nothing, I completely froze. When we left, my friend looked at me, and proceeded to tell me everything I did wrong, and I just slumped down in the seat and moaned. Later that day, (when I was hunting) he stopped in that shop again, and explained how extremely shy I am, told her that I thought she was very pretty, and asked her to just ry and say Hi, because "Lord knows, that boys would choke to death trying to do it himself". She said yes, "she'd be happy to", and she even knew who I was without my friend giving a description. and when he told me about it, I didn't know whether to kill him or hug him.

Her name is Rose by the way.


I never slept good that night. I was a nervous wreck for no reason, so I just never went to sleep. The next day, I slept through my entire hunt, and only woke up because I got cold. It was already dark out. I didn't even really know where I was. Talk about scared to death! I was supposed to cook dinner too! So without a flashlight in the dark, I walked back to the house two miles away, and somehow cooked dinner too before the others got back.

In other news, I arrived back home today to find a package delivered: a relic German helmet with bullet holes in it, found in a barn near Anzio Italy. It's worth every bit of the $70 I paid for it. It's even got bits of a rare sand colored camo left on it, an added bonus. Pictures to come later.


And in a few hours, I will be paid $100 to crawl into a crawlspace to plug in something deep underground.

Yay electricity.

Great advice on the opposite sex from MSBB & WD.

Ethan, the only advice I can offer you is, be yourself, but don't let the conversation only be about you. What's everyone's favourite topic of conversation... themselves.

Find out what she likes and listen to what she has to say. Look her in the eye, talk low, slow down, don't say too much and remember to breath.

Whatever you do... don't smile like this, because it's just plain creepy.

Here's my new helmet.

Great looking WWII helmet too Ethan.
What do you plan to do with it, restore it or just stabilize it for display?

As of now, just giving it a tea bath, because tea neutralizes rust and removes a bit of it. It's the tannic acid in the tea, that has a reaction with the Iron Oxide, converting it somehow. Too sciency.

I first have to get past the "hello" stage.

 

[pepperj]

Yeah, but I'm a coward.

I have an attraction for eyes, and hers are big and brown... just beautiful. And yet I can't look her in the eye to save my life. Contrary to my internet self, I am exceptionally shy in real life. I go great lengths to avoid people. I completely have a nervous breakdown around females. I have talked to them before, but her for some reason... is impossible.

Rusty I read your post to my Mrs and outlined a little of what you have posted up about you. (Hope you don't mind) See I wanted to hear her point of view on this little bump in life you have going on.
I believe you stated that you were home schooled and that might be one of the things that has happened around socialization issue. Though the Mrs picked something up right away and it might help you out.

"Why doesn't he talk to her online for awhile instead of in person" You have a great "internet self" which is you-so maybe this idea of introduction, getting the conversation started might work.

Now how do you get her number/addy Ask your buddy maybe. (Your buddy has already been trying to help you out)

" Hey listen Rose My friend is just tied up at work or this or that......And he was wondering if he could just get your # or email/ or (how ever young folks chat) Just to say hi.....
