this cute girl sitting next to me in the Pc lab is talking to herself

[Wetzelbill]

I always see her in here. Have wanted to hit on her, but all I need is to have a woman who hears voices in her head. I attract the crazy ones too.

[GOPisEvil]

1. It doesn't mean she's crazy. I talk to myself a lot.

More like mental reminders said quietly to myself.

You're just looking for an excuse not to start talking to her. :-)

[wysimdnwyg]

8. OK, wait a minute

GOP, your talking to yourself is no vindication of her sanity. More like the opposite. ;-)


Of course, I do it, too.

2. So give her someone ELSE to talk to!

LOL

Perhaps she mutters aloud when she reads...

[Jack_Dawson]

3. Tell her I said "Hi"

[afraid_of_the_dark]

4. Maybe she's just talking to herself...

in an attempt for intelligent conversation. :silly:

[quisp]

5. maybe she is doing it on purpose

so you won't start hitting on her. Kind of like "guy hitting on me" repellant.

[GalleryGod]

6. Go for it, Wild Bill !!!

:loveya: Carpe Dame-o!

G.G.:smoke:

7. busted

I am a chickenshit when it comes to talking to women. This may be a ploy to convince myself to end up, fat, old, lonely and bitter. :)

13. Nah...

Go for it Dude!

16. "Woman" is not a foreign language

You don't have to slay us with the first word. Just make some sort of comment about the class, and take it from there. There are five possibilities:

1) You immediately hit it off, sparks catch, and you're blazing off into Relationshipland. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often (twice in my 53 years), but that's life.

2) You have a nice friendly conversation that starts a friendship that evolves into something more. This is more common, and it's not as exciting as #1, but better than the rest of the alternatives.

3) You have a nice friendly conversation. You continue having nice friendly conversations. Period. Not what you wanted, but not really bad. Friends are good.

4) She blows you off. This is actually pretty unlikely unless you're unusually unattractive (to her) or she's unusually stuck up or mentally unstable.

5) You don't make any kind of move, and you wonder for the rest of your life whether she could have been THE ONE.

9. The crazy ones are the most fun.

Got for it.

[tridim]

15. Unless you break up with her

and she stalks you for 3 months. Talking from experience here.

[Alenne]

10. Everyone talks to themselves

Some people just do it out loud.

[BurtWorm]

11. Maybe she's talking on a hand-free cellphone?

:shrug:

[mac56]

12. Dude - if that's the only thing wrong, you're lucky!

Don't talk yourself out of this.

14. Next time she talks to herself, answer back.

Or, better yet, here is a great icebreaker:

When she gets up, exchange keyboards with her.

When she starts wondering why her keyboard isn't working, type "What are you doing, Dave?" (Or whatever her name is...)

Keep the computer talking to her.

I did this to somebody in computer lab once. After about 5 minutes of conversing with his computer (i.e. - me) he got up and got the lab monitor.

I heard him tell the monitor, "I don't know. It keeps... talking to me. No, I'm not crazy!"

I switched the keyboards back, and he came back. Lab tech scratches his head, looks around for a minute and leaves, saying, "Next time, come to me with a real problem!"

Kid next to me gets up to pee, and i switch the keyboards again.

He comes back, and gets angry with his computer again for not working. I type, "That wasn't very nice, Steve. Just how badly do you want your term paper? And how would you like it if I emailed your mother a list of all the websites you visit at night?"

He freaked out. He went to get the admin again, and I switched the keyboards back.

Ain't I a stinker?

17. Remind me never to be anywhere near you

on April Fool's Day! :7

[YellowRubberDuckie]

18. That is the funniest shit ever...

You little stinker.

[Love Bug]

19. LOL!

:D

[afraid_of_the_dark]

20. You shouldn't give people like me ideas like that.

:evilgrin:

[kmla]

24. OK, TX. That is evil.

Funny as hell.

But evil.

21. Say "if you're gonna talk to yourself, could you at least talk dirty?"

Bad move? Maybe. It will either stop her crazy behavior cause she's pissed at you or she'll take your advice and... badaboom, badabing. You got yourself "in."

[Az]

22. You sure she doesn't have a cell phone in her ear?

They make em kinda small these days. Look to see if she is wired (one way or the other).

23. Tribute to Douglas Adams

In the side venture Adams wrote called Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency there was a character in an asylum who was apparently talking to himself. It was disclosed that in fact what was going on was he was saying everything Michael J Fox was saying 5 minutes before he did. A law suit had been attempted until it was pointed out that the man was saying the stuff before Michael and thus he could claim it was him who was being victimized.

25. I talk and sing to myself in the car

I'm not crazy (yet), nor do I hear voices. I just sometimes need to go over things in my head that I feel or want to say and I love to sing (really loudly)!

26. I read aloud...

when I'm proofreading something. I think it helps with editing to hear it read as opposed to just reading it. Personally, I catch more mistakes and awkward sentences that way.
