Pretty good - you got me. I figured it was totally plausible, so filed it away in the old memory bank.

Funny thing is, I can remember all sorts of weird stuff about people, but do you think I can remember their names? Not a chance. Within 5-10 seconds of a person telling me their name, I'll have forgotten it about 80% of the time. The other 20% is when I keep repeating it over and over to myself while they are speaking, which means I'm only half listening to them.

I hate how I cannot remember a person's name for the life of me, wish I was better at it.

100% same
its worse when someone walks up to me and goes "hey BMW what's up" and i barely remember their face let alone their names... important people's names stay in mind though (apparently - if you have a selective memory) but so many that enter our lives end up leaving very shortly...

After some awkward eye gazes and body touches, I leaned in to kiss her and you would have thought I tried to rape her with the way she acted. The only time in my life I've ever experience something like this. Usually when a woman spends that much time with you she is interested.

Some people just have no clue when it comes to social norms. Or, she may have some history that screws her up mentally.

The funny part is by doing the opposite (ignoring her) I wouldn't be surprised if she texts you out of the blue. These girls who crave and are used to constant attention are always curious why a guy isn't like the others who constantly pamper them.

Girls always calling her pretty, guys always acting nervous around her, and she's one of the top Resident Physicians in the entire hospital. I already knew going in that she thinks extremely highly of herself. By trolling her playfully she didn't know how to respond. For once some dude wasn't acting like a pu$$y around her.

Anyhow, if anything I just find the entire situation funny. Never caught feels, life goes on.

Sorry I'm late! I tried to catch up quickly! I think she may be into you. Don't worry about the boys and it being awkward! Go for it! Plan another activity for the kids and then ask her to join again.

Edited to add ideas: bowling, lazer tag, mini golf, driving range, trampoline park. If she seems to have a valid excuse after you ask a couple more times then maybe she will ask you if she's interested.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but normally women don't normally initiate the playful touching unless they like/are comfortable with you.

I would say just invite her out to hang out a couple times as a friend first (try to make it seem you just want to talk and get to know each other) and then ask her out on a real date.

Yeah...specifically post 826 on page 39 where this was already mentioned...

Why does nobody read what I write? It's gold I tell you, pure gold.

Either that, or you're all a whole lot more discerning and wise than I've previously given you all credit for.

Sir, your post 826 is on page 38. Your post about trampolines is directed toward activities with with children involved, not simply for the enjoyment of watching your female accompaniment bounce on said trampolines.

Furthermore, one should never dismiss another mans wisdom or lack thereof.

Are you a woman?
If not, I can't read what you said. Can you repeat, please?

My apologies dear sir for missing your implication. Shall I take back my props initially directed toward Tara and serve them up to you?

Now do I strike you as the type who wants sloppy seconds? Hmm?

You can leave them in play where they are, after all, Tara....codified....my idea into a form that was clearer to understand.

Either way, it looks like he's got a chance, we're gonna wait to see what's gonna happen.
