so I was in KFC/Taco Bell yesterday and this very cute girl walks up to me while getting her soda and compliments the shirt i am wearing. http://www.wearyourbeer.com/images/Nintendo_Mario_Power_Up_Royal_Blue_Shirt2.jpg
She then lifts up her shirt anf shows me a very cool 1up tattoo http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/184079589_9eea04c165_m.jpg
in this area
http://infinitetattoos.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/meganfox.jpg and then tells me she's getting another tattoo of my shirt on the opposite side

now what do you think I did?

A. Told her wow, that is a nice tattoo, i think we have a lot in common, do you live around here? Oh you do? I'm always into getting to know new people around town. well maybe we could hang out together and play some games, whats your number so i can get a hold of you?

or

B. Kinda glance down at her tattoo and then go "uhuh" and then sort of pretend like this person you don't know never talked to you in a sort of ignorant fashion. Then two minutes later realize what just happened and wonder where the hell this hottie went and think in hindsight of action A

I can imagine what that's like, I'm not so good with the talking and the words and the putting together either.

UncleBob · « **Reply #4 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:00:37 PM »

I have that shirt...

All well, people with tattoos have hepatitis, so it was probably for the best...

(I kid, I kid...)

The Jonas Bros. episode of South Park was tragick.

"She lifts up her shirt"

I am smacking you from across the net. Don't let it happen again!

You should have atleast complemented the tattoo and asked if she had anymore.

The Perm need a little pocket Stogi to help him with his female problems.

Here's what I would have said:

"I don't like tattoos, and I don't like you."

You should have just stuck it in. Seriously though, you probably don't want to be picking up chicks at Taco Bell/KFC - not that there's anything wrong with either establishment, or the people that work/eat there, you just don't want to pick up chicks there.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:57:29 PM »

Hot, clean & single chicks have to eat too.

That could've been the perfect girl (for a summer fling), but unlike a tootsie pop (you didn't bite), and yet you still will never know.

ThePerm · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:28:11 AM »

i think it was a death mushroom tattoo actually, but you know sometimes im totally not in the room when im in the room. I may need a pocket stogi.

Stogi · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2009, 01:41:57 AM »

Ehh, maybe it was for the best. The chick was a stoner and unless you are a stoner, it would have never worked out.

I do not have hepatitis, unclebobs. Contact lens fever, maybe.

Maybe for the best? A hot chick is a hot chick, whether it's for a night, a couple of months or for the rest of his life.

This "maybe for the best" attitude is very "the glass is half empty".

Ok, first off, calm the **** down. I was trying to make him feel better; unlike you, who would like to shove his nose in it.

Realistically, Perm should just take it as a compliment. A cute girl was willing to start a conversation and pay him a compliment. I'm sure she has seen a bunch other people wearing Nintendo memorabilia and never thought to say something to them. So what's the difference? Perm is approachable; whether by looks or by demeanor, something makes him attractive.

So he fucked up the conversation. And what? That **** happens all the time. He should have asked her to sit down with him (unlike what he wanted to do in plan A), but there's no need to dwell on the past. He should just laugh at himself and get on with his life. Maybe next time, he'll be more confident in himself.

P.S. Oh and I almost forgot. Perm, just because a cute girl is a cute girl, does not mean you need to try and have sex with her. Not only does that intention reflect off of you through body language and the like, but it is also the bane of conversational skills. Just act like they are a person first and you'll be fine.

You know what he must do now right? He must return to that Taco Bell every single night until he sees her again.

*remembers that scene in futurama with Fry's dog*

bustin98 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2009, 11:53:50 AM »

That scene, the song makes me cry every time. I wonder if my dog would do that for me.

EasyCure · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2009, 11:56:12 AM »

Probably not

no no, i showed no intent to sleep with the girl, no what bothers me is that at the time when she was talking to me my brain was just shut off, and she could have been talking to a crustation and gotten the same reaction.

I was with my mom at the time, which might have been the cause of my delayed reaction, but then again i think if the same thing happened if i was by myself at the kfc. I'm just never used to talking to people I don't know. I'm pretty good on dates though.

Stogi · « **Reply #24 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:31:39 AM »

You were with your mom? I'm sorry, but this is very Perm like; only telling us what you want us to hear until we assess or ask further questions. Are you looking for pity? Da **** is wrong with you?

Man...no one, not even Don Juan DeMarco could pimp in front of their mom; it's not the thing to do in front of your mother. If you could pull her number under the watchful eye of your mother, then honestly, there is something very wrong with you. I'm sorry, but you left a huge fucking fact out of your story and it falls to **** because of it.

P.S. Picking up a girl in front of her mother is entirely different, and in almost all circumstances, it is very beneficial for you to have her there. I know this from experience.

P.S.S. I'm not trying to be mean, but please, for the love of all that is good, give us the entire scenario and not what you think is relevant. It's obvious that what you think isn't relevant is very fucking important.
