\"hey can i get your screenname?\"
I haven't yet said this. It seems so wrong. I have a number of friends at school, most of whom are day students (I'm a boarder) and I see most of the day from 8-4. The only time I'm really in my room is from 6-10 and most of that is spent doing homework (8-10 is mandatory homework). Yet it feels like I'm missing something. I don't have any of my "friends" (to tell the truth with 1 being acquantince and 10 being true friend, they're mostly in the 6-8 range) screen names or phone numbers. There's never really the oppurtunity for it. And it seems so odd.
With girls, since it's high school and I see most of them every day and have time to talk during the day I don't wanna be like "can i get your number?" because that would be direct hitting on them and possibly make girls that I'll see 5x+ days per week for the next 2 years feel awkward around me. The whole AIM thing seems harmless yet I can't bring myself to do it. Also, I found out I'm pretty funny (I would've never thought so) but I don't think it's because what I say is funny, but my delivery is solid. I'm not sure. So I think a bit of my charm would be lost online, which is probably true for most things. Yeah, so that's it basically. I'll probably be here for further questioning.

[/ QUOTE ] If I directly hit on them it might make things awkward. In the real world, where you might not see a person too much, or on a 5k person campus making things awkward with one girl is fine, but in a 500 person high school (high schools are cliquey remember) it wouldn't be good. I still do hit on girls, but I always make them feel comfortable when doing so. That's not really my problem. I liked the whole "hang out with a few, get numbers/sn's later plan". Good thinking.

Re: \"hey can i get your screenname?\"
When I was in college, I was in a similar situation and feeling really gay because I normally have no problem at all asking a girl out etc..but she was a girl I knew from work and it was a similar thing, there was no way for us to NOT see eachother for the semester if things were weird. So I just made a joke out of asking her for her screen name. One funny thing is that pretty much everyone is embarassed to say their screen name. Casually make a joke about this sometime in a decent context.
"Ever notice how even the most confident people mutter their screen names when you ask them? Hey, what's your screen name? 'Uh..SkiTheSlopesFast112...' 'peanutbuttergirl, it's a long story...' Everyone is at least LITTLE embarassed about their screen name." This was a really long time ago, so that's not exactly what I said, but it worked like a charm and we both laughed about how stupid our screen names were. She IM'd me later that week to ask what was going on that following weekend. -James

[ QUOTE ] Is it wierd that I don't have a screen name? I hate instant messaging. [/ QUOTE ] Let me guess. You don't watch TV either? [/ QUOTE ] No I don't, but that's mainly because we decided to not get cable TV.
