Thanks CC.

I may - if I work up the courage - do that.

To answer your question, she and I were in the same 19th century English literature class (which reminds me, she is fond of Jane Austen) and we have maintained a casual friendship ever since. I see her, um, probably like once a week . . . but usually at a party or when we are with a large group of people.

Thanks, again.

And, oh yeah, what movie? Any suggestions? I already saw Milk.

Has she ever expressed an interest other than friendship with you? Does she flirt verbally, what does her body language say to you, and how does she act towards you while in a group of people? I ask these questions because I want to see you approach this situation with a chance at success while still respecting the friendship.

As for the movie, I would suggest The Curious Case but always give her the choice of movie.

AM28143 · 01-01-2009, 08:40 PM

She flirts a bit. But she does that with a lot of guys. I can get her to blush, sometimes, when I compliment the way she looks (not in a sleazy way). Does that mean anything?

-Adam

CanadianChic · 01-01-2009, 08:54 PM

Sure it does. She is flattered and a little flustered by the attention, hence the blush. I would take the leap and give her a call. What is the worst thing that could happen?

OK, I will. And if it doesn't work out I'll pursue my secondary love . . . you!

Haha! I encourage you and will wait to hear the update....worst case scenario, you can always hang with me in here (a great consolation prize if I do say so myself).

I'm off for the night. Good luck Adam.

topspin · 01-01-2009, 09:54 PM

Adam, if you and this girl eventually get married, you definitely must invite CC to the wedding. Hope it works out.

ilovecarlos · 01-02-2009, 02:56 PM

I would consider it an honor....but only if all Bistro peeps agree

CanadianChic · 01-02-2009, 03:20 PM

Other than myself, you've spent the most time working and hanging out here. You get along with everyone, keep the fires crackling and the kitchen sizzling and are mature and responsible. Now, my only concern would be whether you could crack the whip on your beloved when he imbibes a bit too much and rides the fan.

The decision is up to Fee as I can't see anyone disagreeing here and you have my backing already. Pressure Fee. Pressure. lol.

Fee and I would have to let you in on a couple proprietor secrets involving security though.

Fee · 01-02-2009, 04:35 PM

I am behind it all the way. I may not be around much in 2009 and I would feel a lot better with another caretaker of our completely imaginary bistro.

You can solidfy your appointment by polishing the brass on the main bar for me (just kidding). Just promise to keep the squirrel suit to one day per week please.

Topaz · 01-02-2009, 04:40 PM

I second, third, and fourth the nomination! The Bistro will be in good hands! And, ILC's skills at drink-mixing will undoubtedly come in handy!

Thanks. FYI, you're next (if I have my way).

The Bistro is empty, so I head to the Stolichnaya bottles. What? The Bistro is out of Stolichnaya, but I notice a few bottles of absinthe. As I start to open one, a walnut and then another hit the back of my head.

"Sorry ILC, I didn't notice you were on the fan. Hi Dedans." It is too dark to see them, but ILC yells down how much money to leave. I pay for six glasses of absinthe and toss two glasses to the fan, which Dedans deftly catches.

When I open my briefcase to take out my International Herald Tribune, I notice the fugu sashimi that I bought from the new street vendor by the train station last night, or maybe the night before. As I unwrap my meal, ILC yells down, "There is complimentary macaroni and cheese. Maybe you should have that instead." She is probably right, so I have the baked cheese pasta and a side of vegetables. I raise one of my absinthe glasses to the ceiling fan and open the IHT.

ilovecarlos · 01-03-2009, 10:25 AM

I am happy you chose the cheesy delight over the day(s) old fugu....we can't have one of our favorite regulars dropping dead from improperly prepared fugu....that would definately bring in the local food inspectors....
Everyone, feel free to help yourselves to the yummy beef veggie stew in the crockpot.....it's a good batch if I do say so myself.....promise to make a big pot of lentil soup later today for you veggies in the crowd....
Am off to restock the stoli and freixenet.....everyone is on the honor system....don't forget the kitty assasin by the door and the Lil Piratey Varm sleeps with one eye open (the one without the patch.....arghhhhhh)

Ballinbob · 01-03-2009, 10:43 AM

Hey so if I have relationship/girl trouble is it cool if I post it here? I just came across this thread and maybe it would be best to just post here instead of making a new girl thread all the time?

J011yroger · 01-03-2009, 11:07 AM

^^ Sounds like a plan. Some of the best life advice is dished out when good friends and strong drink are combined.

Ballinbob · 01-03-2009, 11:19 AM

I'm 15, can't drink quite yet, let alone strong drinks lol. I go back to school Monday and if I find a girl I'll try and bust a move

I got rejected last time haha, so hopefully it'll be better this time around.

I'll keep you guys posted then

Fee · 01-03-2009, 11:31 AM

Bob, you are so ungrateful and... oh, wait. Wrong thread. Sorry.

Bob, you are welcome to come in here anytime, lots of healthy, young man building drinks in the fridge at the open end of the bar (grape juice, orange juice, apple juice, sparkling water, all with no added sugar). If you come in off the court, we'll find some Gatorade for you (but that's not for casual sipping). We don't have Red Bull, its bad stuff. Welcome to the Bistro.

CC, now that the 'purse sellers' have finally cleared the upstairs, how about we convert it into showers and a lounge for the people who actually play tennis around here. I think we can put two showers and a men's area at the east end, two showers and a women's area at the west end, and a common lounge aread with couches, chairs and a big screen in the middle. Would that work?

Lol right after I made that thread my mom said we're going out to dinner and then let me choose the restaurant, and then my dad asked me if I wanted to go and hit with him. I felt like sh!t that day...especially because that thread I made that very day. Glad I can ask for girl advice here then, that's good to know. CC's been really helpful in the past with my girl trouble too

And ummm...about the drinks, I think I'll just stick with my OJ. Gotta love that stuff

Sounds good man. And as soon as you get rid of that thought of being rejected, the better off you are.

It is just that some people aren't attracted to others. Just like shoes, if you don't like a pair of shoes, or you do like them, and they just don't fit you, it doesn't mean that it is a bad shoe, it just isn't for you.

The good thing about this place is that you have a really broad cross section of cool people, from the younger to the older, guys and gals, and we basically all want to have a good time, and are willing to help each other.

So you can talk to everyone, and people will give you their $.02, and the words of some people will resonate with you, and the words of others, you just wont feel.

Just like being coached in tennis actually. And you will gravitate to those whom you feel think along lines that will help you.

Oh, and if you need a red-bull I have a few stashed in my bag, it is the red Wilson one in the corner.
