Your lack of pride and silent desperation are the only things in your way

>>16083764
why do they do this?

>>16083782
you were just her safe backup plan after Chad pumped and dumped her

>>16083785
This is part of what I'm talking about

>>16083784
I don't know

>asks me if she can smell the candle
>almost sperg out but I say go for it without stuttering
>i let her and she says it smells good

>we make small talk music bc she saw that i had a band tee on
>autistmoment.png bc adderall
>you want to go on a picnic next weekend?
>she ponders it for a second and says yes, writes her number down on my receipt
what the fuck do i make for the picnic bros? i was thinking of turkey and swiss sandwiches with basil pesto, but i was also thinking of doing a charcuterie board. that seems a little overboard and i could fuck something up, but it could really impress her.

I would make shrimp macaroni salad. Nice main ingredient in a lowbrow dish, perfect for trying to impress without looking desperate

>>16083851
this could be golden anon. let me see if she likes seafood/has allergies. last thing i want todo is give her an allergy attack

>>16083799
Make something that'll give her the meatiest braps.

>>16083764
>slip into degenerate mode during covid

Stop it

>>16083799
>that seems a little overboard and i could fuck something up, but it could really impress her.

it will seem weird and trying too hard. stick with something normal

>>16083851
dont do this. you dont eat seafood in

>>16083799
just make sandwiches and bring some fruits. don't go overboard, you don't even know her yet

>>16083918
you dont eat seafood in situations where you might kiss rofl. also people have seafood allergies/tons of people dont like it. the person who said this doesnt fuck.

never serve seafood to someone you dont know their preferences, newb ass mistake. just make NORMAL shit bro ffs

>make small talk with male cashier
>we have stuff in common and he doesn't seem like a dick
>don't know how to ask another man in his 30s if he'll be my friend

>>16083950
not a thing you can do. women can totally do it, though

yet another example of why they are clueless about how hard mens lives can be and how alone men are so much of the time.

>>16083923
Do I need to say also "don't just fill the basket with 20 lbs of shrimp macaroni salad"? She could be allergic to anything, she could hate anything, her uncle could have held her face first into a bucket of raw shrimp while sticking GI Joe figures in her ass ehne she eas 10. It's one suggestion, a nice one, usually a pleaser in my experience. Of course hedge your bet with other shit, but this one is good, I promise. If she can't/won't eat it she'll take it in stride and appreciate the effort, and if she puts up a fuss, consider it a good shit test and move on

>>16083962
this isnt an argument

you dont serve seafood at all on a first date, so many things that can go wrong, it's just a dumb idea. stop thinking everything is a 4chan argument and for once in life take advice from someone vastly more experienced than you. you were wrong and your advice was bad.

fucking serve shrimp to a girl you just met. genius.

>>16083959
Shut the fuck up you stupid baby brain nigger
>>16083950
Next time you see him, ask him if he wants to have a beer or something after work.

>>16083973
>Next time you see him, ask him if he wants to have a beer or something after work.

which will be interpreted as a pickup line or otherwise very weird. but im baby brain tho

>>16083784
because bars and restaurants give discounts, freebies and extra portions/servings to regulars.
bar i used to work at literally used to give free double shots of any drink to anyone who was considered a regular

Preparing potentially allergenic food is a non-issue, because that can encompass pretty much all foods. Make somethinf you eanna make, and show it off. If they can't eat something you've prepared it'll turn into a nice conversation where you learn more about the other person, at most.

What's the difference between my initial suggestion and your response to it? One was a nice idea, the other was some virgin overthinking allergies and smelly breath and other shit that literally will not matter 99.9% of the time.

>Preparing potentially allergenic food is a non-issue, because that can encompass pretty much all foods
fair, except being allergic to milk means tummy hurt and being allergic to shellfish potentially means anaphylactic shock.
>some virgin

yes, of course, it's not like I have massively more experience with women than you, who are an actual virgin. just rely on whatevers in the ole pea shooter and fire indiscriminately.

the fact that you suggested shrimp means you don't have experience with women. you didn't even think about the potential kiss once. you're a dumbfuck

>>16083442
>get 3am Mcdonalds drive through every few days
>after 2 weeks, fat girl working drive through says "OH! It's you again!"
>switched to the store 20 minutes further away until I moved

>>16083487
There's something I must tell you. There's something I have to say. The only really perfect love is love that gets away.

>be fat
>be going to the same mcdonalds for years
>cute girl starts working there
>have short conversations with her a lot
>at different times tells me when her shift ends, that she likes coffee, what bands are playing
>pull up to drive through one day
>can I take your order?
>yeah can I get a large size number 1 with a coke no ice?
>no.
>feel my pockets start to become moist
>what?
>no, you can't.
>spaghetti wells out of my pockets
>uh, I uh...
>I'm just kidding hehe, $6.52, pull on up
>it's her, she greets me by name
>spaghetti is literally falling out of my pockets in clumps
>hand her credit card wordlessly with a tense smile
>I was just kidding anon, I'm sorry
>i-it's ok
>never go to that mcdonald's again

>>16084278
I've had a similar experience, except she lost interest and three months later I was thinking about the change in her mannerisms and realized she probably used to be interested in me. I didn't stop going there, and after a while she wasn't working there anymore. It's still kind of funny to think I could have gone a date once. I wonder if I would be a different person today if I had.

>>16084278
Dude you retard, she likes you

>>16083487
>if nothing matters then why does it hurt
FUCKING DELETE THIS! RIGHT NOW!

>>16084425
Making a move would only have earned you a restraining order. This is the best of all possible worlds.

>>16083950
men bond over hobbies, you dont ask him to be your friend you tell him you need a fishing/football/climbing/whatever partner if he's up for it. the template is
>here is something I'm already going to do, if you're up for it you can join in as I you said something that made me think you would be interested

>>16084442
A move?
