drunken question

    This girl i went to school with for a year. she was mangled the other night in club and was all over me. disappeared close to the end of the night.

    question is: is it worth giving her a shot ...or would it just be the same as asking her as if nothing had happened because she was drunk.

    i do not have any expectations to be honest. Im just curious because she is a really solid girl and mint to boot

    let it go, unless she showed interest prior to being drunk then your only kidding yourself

    It's rare that I forget what I've done on a night out, I think it's happened about three times, and each of those times I was horribly drunk... so, if she was only drunk, and not falling around the place, then I'd go for it, I dont think that she would have come onto you if she wasn't even in some small way interested....

    Being a guy (i.e. logically inclined) i would have to agree with "Call Me Jimmy" with the leaving it go because its...well...logical.

    but because i know her i want to agree with Dizzy :P

    well dizzy from his original post he uses the word 'mangled' which sounds pretty much like she would be all over the place. Nice word by the way

    a true Cork word.

    i dont drink. i can tell the difference between drunk and sober but i dont know what i would be thinking if i was drunk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    you want it in Logic?
    A = she came onto you
    B = she was drunk
    C = She likes you
    IF
    (A ^ B = C) ^ (A v B = C)
    then C??!
    A => C I think (ooh lord, it's been too long since I did logic in college! (sorry Dr.Creagh!)


    just in case I got it all wrong, I was saying
    IF
    (she came onto you AND she was drunk = she likes you) AND (she came onto you OR she was drunk = she likes you)
    then she likes you?
    she came onto you means she likes you!! (well, something along those lines anyway!)

    public class whattodo {

    if (she likes me) {

    me.makeamove();
    girl.reciprocate();
    }

    else {

    me.getslightlypissedoffbecauseshewasmint();
    me.forgetaboutit();
    }

    }


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    public class whatnottodo{

    nothing();

    }

    at least test the waters, you don't have to go making a fool of yourself, next time you see her out, go up and talk to her as early on in the night as possible, see if her eyes are wandering around spotting talent, or see if she genuinely interested in talking to you, if you're not totally clueless when it comes to women, you'll know before you make a move...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    actually that's a good idea, if ye can get talkin to her next time 'in da club' before she's drunk that might be a good idea. (Unless it's real obvious your tryin to get in her pants, then you will probably make a show of yerself)

    nice pseudocode lads..

    public class whattodo {
    
    if (she likes me) {
    
    me.makeamove();
    girl.reciprocate();
    }
    
    else {
    
    me.getslightlypissedoffbecauseshewasmint();
    me.forgetaboutit();
    }
    
    }
    

    Looks better in code tags! Imo just go for it even though you cant use the "I was drunk" excuse if it don't work out its better to regret things you did than regret things you didn't do!

    Simaler thing has happened to me with the same girl several times. She shows loads of inetrest when shes pissed but none sober. Its a real tease cause I`m mad about her, every time something happens when she`s/I`m drunk its instantly forgotten about.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 603 ✭✭✭Prior Of Taize


    no quick solution to add then Beau? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,513 ✭✭✭RoadSweeper


    Do her, the drink is being used to give her the confidience to try it on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,057 ✭✭✭kjt


    She clearly likes you.... Whats happening is whats called by the docturs as "Dutch Courage" lol.

    Go GG her !!

    GG her up!

    you really want your first encounter iwth her to be marred , spoiled with drink?
    so that she wakes and remebers and regrets it and bumping into you.

    LAck of consent is the same as saying NO.

    That's why we suggested the start of the night? he doesn't have to go to bed with her on the first night, just test the waters, like someone said earlier, alot of the time alcohol can give someone the confidence to say/do what they wouldn't do if 100% sober...

    it's all to do with confidence... sometimes the dutch courage can be beneficial!

    Theres a whole lot of difference between having a few socialable drinks to relax and being flootered.

    If you have to have a drink to do something .... well does that make you an alcholic?

    I though we were just suggesting ways for him to test the waters with the girl! I just feel that in a social atmosphere with no awkwardness would be easier..
    there's different scenarios...
    1.
    call her, invite her for coffee/dinner or something like that...
    tell her he likes her.. now there's a few outcomes of this:
      she can like him back and all can be dandy she can tell him she's not interested, but still want to be friends and all goes ok.. she can tell him she's not interested, awkward silence ensues until someone calls her to save her

    2.
    meet her in a pub that you know she will be in with her friends.
    go over to chat, have friendly conversation, then ask if she'd like to go out sometime (This is HUGELY different to just calling out of the blue to go out)
    there's a few outcomes of this also:
      she says yes, a great night is had by all she says no, still have a good night, she's still chatty she says no, and feels awkward, dirty rotten silence, then, "oh, I have to go over to my friends now", or a quick escape to the loo, then all is ok!

    you always need an escape route!! the pub is a good place for this, if drink is involved or not.
    I'm sure there's loads more ways this could happen, but I can't be bothered!

    I wouldn't call her. Would you consider her a shy girl? I'd say she likes you I wouldn't argue that... but does she want you? If she is shy the drink could be a way for her to get what she wants. If she isn't she could just have been hammered and taking what she likes. Actually no .. I retract my initial statement ... ask her out ... if she says no then you are better off without her.... and shouldn't feel bad about it. If she says yes she really did want you. You don't want someone who takes what they like when they are drunk ... they'll probably end up cheating on you.

    not sure if that was clear

    like - I fancy abit of that, screw him or tomorrow I'm plastered now.
    want - ok I can do this, the drink if finally giving me the courage to come onto him, I hope he still likes me tomorrow.

    Yeah sorry that post probably came across a bit self obsorbed. I was just showing you my situation and the fact that its just drunkeness and nothing real for her. Might or might not be the same for you. I have no soloution, I enjoy when shes mad for me (In a holding myself back kinda way of course) but its still a bit annoying. I`m not that bothered to be honest.
