Last time we talked to each other was the 6th grade. Where i live that counts as Elementary school.

None of my friends watch any tokusatsu, but I can still make them laugh by explaining some concepts from the show. For example:

That was me illustrating Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity. It's not as funny as I could make it, but you basically can outline the sheer ridiculousness of the concepts. For instance, Den-O Sword form: a peach demon...

Right now, the best thing you can do is wait and let her open up to you, but maybe nudge her in that direction from time to time. Show her that you care, and don't forget to follow through on the caring.

Im guessing you have tried asking her about her generically as a "so tell me bout yourself" which probably gets met with "there isn't much to tell". Im also guessing she may have a bit of a low self opinion? alsooooo does she have any older brothers? Seems like the type who has older brothers

LOLOLOLOL omg. I died. I think you just made me like Wizard even more.

One of my biggest fears with women, is suggesting there is a relationship to be had. I rarely meet random women, and so if the girl I develop feelings for is a friend or a colleague or whatever I'm scared of what it may do to even hint at something more, and then have to face them every day. I'm not even talking about if we get together, then break up, I just mean if I miss read the signs and then they close to laugh in my face at the suggestion of us dating, and I have to face that embarrassment daily or something.

And considering how badly my relationships have gone in the past, the possible payoff doesn't seem worth the risk.

Ok that is a great way to explain Wizard, and I have done crazy explanations of Kamen Rider before, just not sure Id explain it to her. :lol

Thats about how our conversations go, as Ive said se isnt one to talk. But no, she just has a younger sister.

Exactly my situation right now.

I've been and am in the same boat. Trying to go out with random women is fairly tough because, they're random women. You know nothing about them, so trying to talk before you ask is awkward. Whereas if you try to do the same thing with a friend, it's still awkward, but it's easier to slide into conversation with them.

I've been burnt to man, but you never know until you try. You can not succeed without the risk of failure. And if you're not afraid of failure, man you can go anywhere or do anything.

Just throwing this out there: if you are going on a first date, try something where you have a task to accomplish together, like bowling, or a cooking class, or a crafting workshop, or a walking tour/scavenger hunt. Having something to do besides sitting at a table staring at each other will help break the ice, and get conversation going because you are doing the task together. It's sort of a cliche but it works.

Being friends with a girl you are romantically interested in is very frustrating, but without a basis of friendship, it's hard for a relationship to last. Again, another cliche, but my wife and I are each other's beast friends. We have some things we share an interest in, and some things we do not (the other night she said to me "I just don't get Ultra," heh!), but our relationship grew based on our respect and friendly admiration.

This is not to say that being stuck in the Friend Zone doesn't suck! But XW1n5t0nX (how the heck do you remember that when you log in?) is right -- you cannot succeed without the risk of failure!

And of course there is the old "go out with a group of friends" chestnut.

My last two relationships, including the one I'm in now, have been long distance through the computer. I just get along with people better through an internet connection.

I do.

I'm perma logged in at home. Even if I wasn't, it's just easy to remember for me since I've used it for so many years on so many sites :lol

I guess my name is like the guerrilla marketers from Akibaranger XD
