Alright. I never thought I'd ever post one of these, and this one's not even that big of a girl problem... I don't think at least. I have really no experience with this, and it's making me really depressed lately. I'm not sure if posting it on here will help, but I feel like I have to talk to someone... So here's the shortest version I can come up with:

On Saturday I walked into Tower Records. As I was walking in a girl walking across the store towards the magazines noticed my shirt, which was of a fairly obscure, but very influential punk band in the early 90's, A//Political. She walked up and asked "You listen to A//Political?" and so we talked about A//Political for about a minute or two. Then it seemed to me like she was going to continue to the magazines, and I didn't know what else to say, and I was really shy, so I continued forward to the CDs. Immediately once I got there I was kicking myself for not introducing myself and meeting her. But I was still uncertain as to what I should do, so I didn't do anything. A little bit later, she came back, surprising me as I was looking for Kylesa among the "K" bands. She asked me if I had a screen name, and because my chat client has been very flaky lately (as in I cannot add or occasionally talk to new contacts) I told her that AIM wasn't working for me but that I had an email. So I gave her that. Then she told me her name and I told her mine and we shook hands, then she told me she had to go but that she'd email me. I watched her go out, still really nervous and shy (but fortunetly I don't think I showed that I was nervous TOO much.. I probably came off as a little weird though) and then went back to looking for Kylesa, thinking I had made an actual accomplishment in the world of women and relationships, only to realize I had never gotten her email/screen name. Immediately I was kicking myself again.

Ok, so now it's Tuesday night, and I have received no new emails in my inbox. So now of course I'm upset and thinking that I gave the wrong vibe or something, I don't know. Is there any point where I should give up hope of receiving an email from her? I really want to meet her again :/

Again, I don't know if this thread will really solve anything for me, but it's just something I had to get off my chest and ask someone about, because I've been really depressed the past few days about it. I've been sleeping immediately once I get home (slept through dinner today, still havn't eaten anything) no ambition at all. Ok, I'm done talking.

Maybe she forgot your e-mail? *shrug* or she just didnt get around to it yet.

Why wouldn't you exchange phone #'s or something...

Seems rather odd to me that you'd mention your e-mail before your name.. but regardless, at least now you can learn from your mistakes. Everyone falls a couple of times before they learn to walk straight.

Also, just because she hasn't e-mailed you yet, doesn't mean she never will.

She probably forgot.

You may or may not get an email from her. More advisable would have been to get *her* contacts, because then *you* can call her. Just something to remember in the future. Don't worry, another will come along anyway. What woman could resist MADQUACK!?

MadQuack, I apauld your effort. There are not too many decent guys ou there like you. They say its a living experience. It is. Dont worry yourself too much or you will be a basket case. I mean if she wanted your e-mail in the first place, she wouldnt of told her name to you. Usually when people introduce themselfs, its a growing relationship of friendship. Dont be so negative. Give her time to reply back.

Just dont expect too much, and dont rush things if you cant help it. Be mellow to her as you would be to a friend. The rest you would know what to do from there on out my man.

Just forget about this. If she e-mails you, that's good. And if she doesn't, what have you lost? That's right, nothing.

The sooner you realize I'm right the better off you will be.

Given the number of girl problem threads we have been getting I propose the following solution: Programmable Fembots (c). Think about it. You know you want one.

Seriously though, its only been a few days. Its entirely possible that she means to contact you, but has been too busy to do so or is experiencing computer problems of her own. I'd give it at least a week, maybe two before giving up on it. Best of luck.

------------------
This one day I went to change my password, but being the clever chappy that I am, I accidently typed the new pw into the e-mail address bar and clicked submit, hence the slightly modified new user name. Go me and my awesome computer skills.

Right, this is one of those all-or-nothing situations. It's basically her move, if she decides to email you anything can happen, or else you just forget her and move on.

This is why I always get her number instead of the other way around. With her number, I walk away with the advantage.

Well you can stop waiting. I'll go ahead and make it: Always listen to Pagewizard's girl advice.

^ what he said. I wouldn't bother kicking yourself about making a bad impression as she obviously wouldn't have asked for your contact details if that was truly the case. Even if it doesn't go anywhere you know what to remember to do next time

If only you had said something more along the lines of, "Hey baby, you arouse my cabbage", you'd be on your honeymoon already.

"Hey baby you are my oranges" woulda worked better

I'm sure it's been said already, but I doubt she would have asked for your email if she wasn't planning to make contact. The thing to bear in mind though is that (what with not having them) girls aren't controlled entirely by their penises. She may just want to be friends. But the music connection is a very good thing. If she does email you, I'd suggest asking her to go see a band sometime.

Could it be that she's equally nervous about e-mailing you?

You should have asked her if she's a Massassian, too... maybe she'll end up reading this?

Perfectly likely. I would be.

Yeah but that's different. This girl might be nervous because she DOESN'T know MQ.

What I meant was that just because she came up and spoke to him doesn't necessarily mean she fancies him. With guys (particularly with the 'experts' round here) if they approach a girl it generally means they find her physically attractive and want more. I'm not saying she didn't think madquack was hot (how could she not? ) but she might not want anything more, so I'm just trying to tell him not to get his hopes up even if she does email.
And no, I don't really think guys are controlled entirely by their genitals.

------------------

I don't have too much to add, sicne its mostly been said already, but i just wanted to point this out: If she didn't find you interesting, she wouldn't have come up to you that second time, much less ask for your e-mail.
