Same here. Not even that much because of the blind thing, but more because I'm a big soppy. Come on Charlie, what's happening!

I am all about this thread.

Just be cool Charlie... if you see her again, say hello and be ready to follow through.

"Hello" is always a perfect way to start.

Listen to Sowley, Charlie. He knows.

Good luck.

whatever you do, don't piss off her seeing eye dog or feed it greasy foods...

YOU ALL OUGHTA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE BLIND LADY.

For all we know, she could be reading this right now...

Wet Willy, straight up, meet my first two wives that way

my last partner was asian. i didn't try to memorize The Koran (would've been a bad move), talk about Bollywood movies or go on about Bhangra music. you get what i mean.

just told her i couldn't stop thinking about her and that i really wanted to go out with her i.e. i told her how i felt without spinning any crap chat-up lines.

don't succumb to paralysis through analysis - be yourself, tell her how you feel. at worst she'll feel flattered and be nice back, i reckon. good luck.
