Plus, with all the hours you'll spend working, you'll achieve two things with your girlfriend (hopefully):
1 - more cash means more attractive (it's sad but true when it comes to teenagers - wait until you get a car; you'll have to beat them away with a stick! )
2 - absence makes the heart grow fonder

Good point. But we don't have any paper route jobs here, as far as I know. We have a really quiet, elderly a few houses down, too. It'll help with my hours needed for school, too.

1. I don't want a car; and I have no use for money. I don't doubt the parentheses, unfortunately.
2. Wait, what?

Cool.

That's a rather short-sighted view of things. There is always a use for money. As already mentioned, flying lessons are expensive, and there's no harm in having some savings to dip into when you go to college, which is also expensive.

Spending less time with a person makes them miss you more. Another way of saying it is "familiarity breeds contempt" - there's such a thing as TOO much of a good thing, and spending too much time with a loved one will make you restless and find them more and more irritating. It's why many married couples take separate vacations: they get a break from each other and have stories to tell each other when they get back. Having a job will mean you have something fulfilling to do that doesn't involve your girlfriend, and so there's less chance of the two of you getting sick of each other.

Tell her "dai suki!" followed by a peace sign, and she'll be all over you.

She's not a weaboo though, so what else can you tell me?!

Nox if I ever catch you saying daisuki and holding a peace sign, I will murder you.

(this is advice)

I won't ever do that and the girl I really like doesn't do that weaboo crap either. Her friends do though, and that greatly worries me!

more advice: if her friends are bad, ain't worth it!

****, time for another girl to relentlessly follow around until they call the Campus Police on me then!

I know, but at my current state, money is of no matter. I know I'll need the money for lessons later on, but not yet (though I am going to save up).

Ah. That is right. I went to Wisconsin for the summer, and had no way of contacting her, which was kind of hard; but I missed her more.

Thanks, yet again.

Long story short:

Hot girl checks me out a lot, and vice versa. What do I do? Never met her, though she's in two of my classes four days a week and sits nearby me.

Talk to her?

I mean, I'm by far no expert on this kind of thing, but that seems to be the obvious solution.

Talk to her in your rowing uniform thing. She'll ****ing melt.

Talking is best, Just smile and say hey and go from there.

Will do.

Things can be straaangely complicated sometimes. You never really know. There might be more experienced people out there who've tried a couple of different things out and know which ones work best, so I felt like asking around might help.

Thanks everyone.

Be casual about it, man. Don't try and make it sound like you're after a relationship, or even sex. Just say "Hey, how are you. I'm Andy. How 'bout that local sports team etc." Let conversation flow naturally. Introduce yourself, make some smalltalk, then leave. If she still acts interested, you're open to talk to her some more, maybe ask her to go to lunch or some other kind of informal date with you. Then you get her contact information and she's yours. That's how I'd play it out.

These are things I'd figured out pretty much, but you never really know. Once again, thanks guys.
