There is this girl I know from class that will soon have birthday. I dont know her well but what I do know is that she likes good quotes..

So I want to print quote from this picture on a piece of paper (just black words on white paper. no pictures). What do you think? OK or too cheesy?

Does she have a cat OP? if she likes cats steal her cat and put it in a box. Then give it back to her for christmas, just say "Look who came back! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."

OP, consider the following:

>She doesn't like quotes, it's merely for making an image of her

>She doesn't care about what gifts other bring to them, she only cares about what gifts will bring the one that she chooses (her love etc)

>She doesn't care about gifts at all, she cares about the party and if she will get laid/have fun/get power in his social circle

>If she isn't your friend, and if she isn't into you, then you don't have literally nothing to do

>If she is your friend, and she speaks with you, then you should know her enough to see if she reads or if she doesn't. If she reads, give her a recommendation of a book (be cold), if she doesn't read, what the fuck are you doing anyway? this is silly.

>If you want to flirt with her, try to get to the birthday party and work from there. But do it sloowly, you are not a walking james bond

>Don't do actions that you think will make instantly recognize you (unless she isn't into your class and you just saw her in the street and you literally have 1 possibility), you must work slowly, doing it like you didn't care or like it were pure luck or coincidence.

It may have occurred to you guys that OP wasn't trying to bone the girl but had merely received a proper upbringing and was taught to give gifts to people on their birthday.

the natural thing to do for you is respectable, but to think because she has a passing interest in quotes, because seriously unless it's every single day, and she's liking/sharing millions of quotes, or something, to the point where it's autistic, like she has a binder of quotes, organized by theme, then she doesn't really have an interest in them, much more than anyone other person does, and depending on what pages she's liked, she can get handfuls of quotes handed to her very easily that she could find even marginally interesting enough to like. and beyond that, no one, absolutely no one, wants to have a quote, w/ absolutely no design to it, as a present. e.g., look at this shit. this has style and finesse. what you suggested was trite, quotidian, banal: ridiculous. also, think about it: if she posts them regularly, that means that your one quote, as present, is equivalent to five seconds of her downtime on fb, effectively. she looks at it, and then consumes it, and it has no lasting power or worth. then she becomes disappointed. she thinks that you think that she doesn't deserve anything more, or that to you she is nothing but what she posts on fb. and then you've fucked up. so, don't. get her a mug w/ a quote on it, if you're feeling the quote line, and know that she likes coffee or tea, or something, because that has staying worth.

Who gives someone a quote printed on a piece of paper as a present? you have to be really high on the autistic spectrum to think that shits ok. Just give cash or a hallmark card or nothing but don't print out some shitty quote and give it like its an actual present. If someone did that to me on my birthday I would be insulted if they weren't wearing a helmet.

The autistic part is not the impulse to give a gift but the choice of gift. If he gives this girl a Stoic quotation on a piece of A4 paper she will think he's retarded.

If you're above the age of 13 then you are not required to give birthday gifts to anyone but your girlfriend, your children and perhaps your mother. If some acquaintance I barely knew gave me a birthday gift I'd be nonplussed. If they gave me a piece of paper with a quote on it I'd be doubly nonplussed. If you're attending the party, just bring a bottle of cheap booze and a few cans of beer.

If you must give her something, buy a Seneca book and carry it around when you will see her on her birthday, social engineer a way to bring her to tell you it's her birthday, act surprised, then give her the book and tell her you just finished.

THEN tell her about the page your quote is on, say it's something you liked.

Fuck yea, you just got laid bro

>> No.6458871

>>6457849

Also OP, don't you know that the quote that you want to send her has to have a relation between you and her? This is how things works, you send a quote to someone to express something about them, and also something about you.

In this case the quote of Seneca sounds creepy as fuck, like "I want to fuck you, but it's difficult, I just dare to do it... we could do it *wink*"
