Okay, Marlee’s writing again today. I don’t know about you, but I think she’s hilarious. I’ll give you my 2 cents worth in the next post.
How to be a Creeper
In general, a guy making a serious effort to garnish the interest of a woman is admirable. We’ve all seen the romantic comedy with the guy that says, “You keep saying you’re not interested, but I’ll get you to come around.”
Collective sigh: “Awwww!”
Back to reality. That line is all fine and good when coming from a slightly charming, completely harmless teddy bear, but from the guy already labeled as an official “Creeper”, it’s reason enough to file a restraining order.
Examples, you ask? Of course!
1.) “Rapist Wit”
Let’s start with the above example. If you’re not feeling like there’s a connection (which there probably isn’t, sorry) don’t even remotely think you’re going to get away with something like, “I know where you live, you’ll be seeing me.” Please, that line is much better used after you’ve already been hanging out with a girl. Saying that to someone at a bar is not only ballsy, but disturbing. Trust me, I know. I work at a psychiatric hospital.
2.)”Run-in”
A Run-in is when you purposely try to see her again outside of your usual watering hole. It’s a tough act to pull off, and the results could be detrimental.
Now I’m not talking about the, “Wow, that woman is gorgeous, I wonder how I can see her again? She did say she owned a pet grooming shop, maybe if I take my dog to all the shops in town I might run into her…” That’s freakin’ adorable and is guaranteed to at least get you a pity date.
But running into her at the grocery store and then starting the conversation with, “Hey, remember me? We danced together 2 months ago at that club on 18th Street? You wore red shoes and a glittery dress?” Yeah, awkward. If you have to remind her who you are, just move along. If she’s interested she’ll speak up.
3.) “Phone Number Trickery”
Another favorite strategy of the “Run-in” is the “Phone Number Trickery” strategy. This. Will. Never. Work.
Let me make this perfectly clear: if a woman does not intentionally give you her phone number, weaseling your way into getting it is not only forbidden, but as close to scraping the bottom of the barrel as you as possibly get.
Example: at a club 2 years ago I was approached by a guy and he started up a conversation. He asked who I was here with, and I told him my friends. He replied with, “Oh man, I haven’t seen my friends in awhile and I lost my phone. You think I could use yours to try and call them?”
“Sure,” I said. Big mistake. Why? He didn’t call his friends, he called his own phone. After he gave mine back to me I headed out to the dance floor and didn’t talk to him for the rest of the night. But the next day, I started getting text messages from him, claiming I’d “given” him my phone number. No, I didn’t give him my phone number. He texted me off and on me for an entire year. And there was no floundering on my end. I blatantly told him to lose my number, I never gave it to him, and I was never interested. If there was ever a definition of the word “loser”, it would be this guy. Get a girl’s number the honorable way; by asking for it.
4.) “Puppy Dog”
This is pretty basic. It’s the guy that follows the girl around all night because he wants to talk to her but can’t get up the nerve. Well get up the nerve. Following her around is disgusting. That’s it.
5.) “Virtuous Boy”
This one might make some people squirm, but screw it. There’s nothing more uncomfortable than having someone walk up to you and ask if they can talk to you about Jesus, or Brigham Young, or whoever they’re religiously in love with. First of all, it implies that I look like I need saving (which I don’t), and second of all, I’m probably busy sinning my ass off at the moment, so this intended conversation is hands down a deal breaker.
In general, if you want to avoid coming off as a creeper, show some confidence. The trait of creepiness shows through more than ever when you’re attempting to be sly with a girl. And a little secret from me to you? She’s not falling for it.
