Quote:if shes wearing a shirt that says 'i love nirvana' try talking about nirvana or music or something,I summoned some guts in the dining hall today. I was filling my cup with soda next to a girl with headphones, and I asked her what she was listening to. Sure enough, she said Nirvana. I asked her which album, and she said Unplugged (typical of girls). I thought that was it, because I couldn't figure out how to continue the conversation from there. Then, when I saw her later walking by, I asked her if she'd also heard Alice In Chains' Unplugged set. She said she had, and there was one song she really liked, but she couldn't quite remember the name. I took a shot in the dark, choosing one of my favorites, "Is it 'Heaven Beside You'?" She said "Yeah! That's the song." Then I sat down with her and her friend, and we ate lunch together. We talked about music (I offered to burn some for her), comedy, and the ever-present academics. When she had to go, she said, "Would this be considered a handshaking occasion?" So we shook hands, and said we'd see each other around (at the dining hall, and I know one of her friends). After dozens of eliminations based on a minute of listening in to certain girls' conversations, and pre-eliminations based on dressing styles and makeup, I finally found one with some real potential, and a cute one too.
