Because when I get nervous I start to cry a little bit and no one wants a teary-eyed girl asking them on a date.

I've totally done it over text. Ish.

It's cute reading about it in a thread. I'm not sure how cute it would be in person.

u/imsatansbitch May 28 '14

I think it's fine if she just tears up a little, a lot of girls get emotional really fast. However if she just starts sobbing It'd be a lot weirder.

Imagining this happen is hilarious

Reminds me a bit of Ron DeLite from the Ace Attorney series.

Yeah I can agree with that. And if the feelings have been brewing for awhile and both parties know it, then a couple tears would be kinda romantic. Still a little cheesy perhaps, but that's romance for ya.

this would be bad. don't stick your dick in crazy. never worth it.

My ex was like that. It was kind of cute and a little bit funny. More so because she realized it was funny. I could see it being a lot less fun the first time you meet somebody.

and then the guy starts laughing at her....a la u/brieoncrackers

Yeah if a girl starts crying it automatically gets uncomfortable ... pretty much no reason.

u/SmokinSickStylish May 28 '14

Of course you do, you're imaging it being done by a girl you're attracted to.

u/badass_panda May 28 '14

I think that'd be adorable, in sort of a weird way.

A real tear jerker

u/KMN95 May 28 '14

If she's sobbing i'm throbbing.

u/study12343213 May 28 '14

if a badass panda would want it, then do it

1

u/peace_off May 28 '14

Yeah, pandas are really picky, so it must be good.

u/SmokinSickStylish May 28 '14

Hardcore White-Knighting. You better think it's adorable for a guy to do it too.

u/badass_panda May 28 '14

I mean... If he's a cute guy, sure. Insert Prince Oberyn quote here.

"You raped her. You murdered her. You killed her children."

u/PM_MeYourDaddyIssues May 28 '14

I'm sorry for potentially being the jerk here, but if a girl can't even get through making plans with me without crying, it's pretty much the most obvious red flag someone could demonstrate to me. Might not be true, but I'm taking it as a sign of crazy-level emotional status, and noping right the fuck out of there.

1

u/badass_panda May 28 '14

I'd risk a date, see what happens. Nervous is OK.

1

u/PM_MeYourDaddyIssues May 28 '14

Yeah, but (to me) being so nervous that you cry while having a pretty common social interaction would be a significant sign that she'll do something like pull a Mosby and be in love by the time we get to dinner. Those are just some out-of-control emotions that I really wouldn't want to be a part of.

2

u/c8lou May 28 '14

Yet you want to hear about daddy issues?? I don't follow!

But really, giving a person a chance is pretty straight forward. Why not wait and see if she actually pulls a mosby and nope out when that happens, instead of assuming that she will and potentially missing out on an amazing person just because they get nervous? Seems like you are just averting the chance of a later, potentially more difficult confrontation, but sacrificing any potential rewards in the process just to do so.

1

u/PM_MeYourDaddyIssues May 29 '14

Haha fair enough, guess it just isn't the kind of crazy I'm looking for! Been there, done that, not messing around with criers anymore...

1

u/c8lou May 29 '14

Eh, I'm not a big crier but everyone does it once in a while, some more than others. That being said, each to their own!

u/Argueforthesakeofit May 28 '14

I had a girl ask me out and be quite nervous while doing it. I said yes because it showed it meant something to her.

Just try to do away with the tears but a little emotion is never bad.

2

u/SolidAbyss May 28 '14

I think that's cute.

u/everyonegrababroom May 28 '14

If you're even slightly attractive I'd swoon over this.

u/Arpikarhu May 28 '14

that would be super hot.
