This is the situation.

[xapplexpiex]

I'm a movie buff. Or at least I love movies. I go to my local Blockbuster proly three times a week. I noticed a new worker last week. She's around my age and is really, really cute. I'm thinking about asking her out. But if she says no, then everytime I go there to get a movie, it would be awkward. Help?

[SincerelyMe]

Go for it. And if she says no, use Netflix like the rest of the world.

[kaycey]

it actually works out well cause if she says no then your probably going to have to stop watching movies and break out the porn.

[Esrb99]

Do it, definitely. if it don't work... blockbuster online?

Fuck, you beat me to it. That was my first thought when I read the thread title.

That's the situation

[xapplexpiex]

That's the situation
Oh. No, I don't watch that show...or MTV. I just hear of some guy called The Situation and the chick with the tall hair.

[up da punx]

Lovin those Armani Exchange boxers

[zac_montucky]

Oh. No, I don't watch that show...or MTV. I just hear of some guy called The Situation and the chick with the tall hair.

Haha, I try to avoid MTV like the plague, but that show is such a beautiful trainwreck that I can't help but tune in. I'm a sucker for unintentional comedy.

[abcdefghijake]

The only time Sports Nation was watchable.

Very disappointed when I seen that this thread was not about/or started by The Situation........tsk tsk!

why would it be awkward? you're not confessing your love for her - you're asking her if she's down to get to know you. it's only as awkward as you make it bro. if anything your chances are better than if you weren't there all the time - at least you're a familiar face.

just make sure you're renting something cool...like soft core porn...and ask her if she wants to watch it with you.

ever seen 'you can't take it with you'?
how about 'meet john doe'?
how about 'mr. deeds goes to town'?
what about 'the amazing quest of ernest bliss'?
or 'how to steal a million'?
twenty bucks says you've never even seen 'spartacus' or 'ben hur'

bet you've seen slumdog millionaire and the 40 year old virgin, though

bitch

yeah man soft core porn is real fucking cool you can like evaluate the serious acting and shit

what the fuck are you on buddy

bro, if you take this dude's advice, which is pretty good advice except for the bizarre porn advocation, watch something good from the 30 or 40s like 'the thin man' or something

[JordanBuell]

ask her out. if she says no keep renting movies and keep flirting with her. persistance works, as long as your not being creepy about it

I hate you. I came to this thread to do this and even got the pic link.

I tune in every week. No shame.

[Michifoxx]

It shouldnt be that awkward..if she says no then oh well. Keep going about your business renting movies. Dont be a pussy

[ericsrad]

Tell her she's working for a dying business and you want to save her.

Optionally, wear a Superman costume while doing the above.

For serious, though -- just strike up a conversation. Tell her she's cute and that you'd like to take her to a movie sometime, or if she gets enough of that at work, to just grab some coffee and talk. As long as you don't come off as too aggressive, I think you'll be fine. It's all about approach and delivery.

[disastroustimes]

I always thought it was nice when a customer brought me a coffee or something when they know I had a long shift ahead of me.. maybe find out what she likes (drinks or otherwise) and just make a nice gesture?

[DandonTRJ]

I like this idea.

Just make sure you have a not-too-creepy explanation ready for how you knew what kind of drink [or otherwise] she likes.

[Jake Denning]

Go into the store and look around for a few minutes and then approach her and ask her if she could recommend you anything that she has seen lately or wants to see. Learn her name. Rent a few of her recs and leave. Come back to the store for a few more weeks and rent movies and establish a talking relationship. After that, ask her out. If she says no, her loss. If she has a boyfriend, stick it out and see if said boyfriend dumps her.

There you go champ.

Honestly, I've never seen any of those except Slumdog Millionaire, and I loved it. But thanks for the recs. I'll check them out. I'll watch pretty much anything.

[shimmyshakes]

I don't know why people are afraid of situations like this. Just do it! Maybe you'll fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after, you never know.

Good luck!

make sure you don't look like the lonely movie borrower. you know the guy.

This is probably the best advice.

Go into the store and look around for a few minutes and then approach her and ask her if she could recommend you anything that she has seen lately or wants to see. Learn her name. Rent a few of her recs and leave. Come back to the store for a few more weeks and rent movies and establish a talking relationship. After that, ask her out. If she says no, her loss. If she has a boyfriend, stick it out and see if said boyfriend dumps her.

There you go champ.

This is actually good advice on two levels because A) It just might work. and B) You get to find out what movies she likes. If you're a movie buff like you say you are, you're not gonna settle for someone that's throwing out recs like Boondock Saints and Legally Blonde. She namedrops Eternal Sunshine and Donnie Darko, she probably cries alot and you'll want to stay away. She throws out a 'Dark Knight' or 'Wall-E' you'll probably want to lock that up because her taste may be broad, but at least it's good.

If she says Eternal Sunshine then hit that, right there, on the spot.
Best movie ever.

[<*)))><]

If she says no rape her. Then she will never go back to work because she has to deal with emotional trauma and you can continue to rent movies.

[disastroustimes]

Since when is doing something thoughtful being someone's butler?

[Ava1anche]

Fuck, you beat me to it. That was my first thought when I read the thread title.

I thought the same thing as well haha

[rhinitus]

yeah man soft core porn is real fucking cool you can like evaluate the serious acting and shit

what the fuck are you on buddy

bro, if you take this dude's advice, which is pretty good advice except for the bizarre porn advocation, watch something good from the 30 or 40s like 'the thin man' or something

I would say that was a pretty blatant joke...especially given the rest of the advice. It doesn't even make any sense- why would you watch soft core porn with someone else? Settle down.

While this is a good idea, I don't think I'm going to do it.

two of them within three miles.

If it is a good idea do it, better then doing a bad idea.
