Gemm's Thread of Weirdness

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Picking up chicks....




In a Roman Catholic sort of way.

I feel my current venture is getting me little worthwhile, so I may as well try something different. Thing is, I'm not too sure on how to approach a lady person (a very beautiful one at that) in church. Now I know you LDSed people have all the social events and other what not things, but as stated above this is a more... umm, traditional(?) sort of church.  Etc, etc, any suggestions?

uhm... you're going to church to meet chicks?

I'd say that the best way to form a relationship with a religious woman is to be sincere about religious feeling, and you already lost that.

I gave him more benefit of the doubt--I assumed he already went to church, and was thinking of trying to find a way to socialize with his congregation.

Yes, EUOL is more the righter. I've been going to our current church ever since we moved to the area. But just recently this woman has started to come. And well, she blows my socks off, my feet. But someone at work has given me some advice so I think I will try that out.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

oh, well, I apologize then.

Then be yourself, and be sincere about church. If you're not passionate about church, don't be passionate, but be sincere. *nod*

I'm gonna hang onto that one. And my friend from work, Ed, told me to just keep it simple. Say hi, see where it goes from there. I'm good at being sincere I believe. Since in my speech class I've been told that I'm funny and a sort of genuine honest person. When I speak that is.

I think it's good to take opportunities that present themselves, too--so, say, if your church has a coffee after services the way my grandma's Lutheran church does, make sure to go, talk to people, etc. Don't be afraid to walk up to her and ask her how she's been, how her 4th of July was, small talk like that. Ask her questions about herself, simple ones that show interest in her as a person. And then perhaps friendship might grow from that--take it as it comes.

I just found the perfect quote to describe Gemm:

"[Gemm] speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice.  His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all dy ere you find them; and when you have them, they are not wortht he search."

[fuzzyoctopus]

Ah, Merchant of Venice.  Shakespeare had a good quote for everything.

Awesome, I've been quoted by the great Will Shaxberd. Most definately awesome.
