I feel like I'm patient, but I'm honestly not sure, I actually like a lot of girls in my comm i just have a hard time getting past the acquaintance zone. I have hung out with a few of them outside of meets but I'm not sure how to routinely invite them without being weird. I have asked a few times but it ended up being too close to a con or some other event. I'm not sure if they aren't inviting me because they feel like I'm too busy (grad student) or if they don't actually like me.

tl;dr:
-how many times is it appropriate to ask to hang out with someone before giving up
- how do you small talk with girls.

Does anyone have any terms to search for cute bug themed stuff? every google translate term I use results in real insects or supplements. Specifically i'm looking for pins, stickers, plushies, stationary whatever.
