-- Posted by raza301 at 6:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 So there is this girl that I really like and she is really smart and she likes math, science and other nerdy stuff and she is pretty. Im trying to impress her. When she was at the library I sat at the same table as her and pretended to read an encyclopedia. Then I got my friend to make a fake conversation with me in front of her and I got him to ask me complicated math questions and I would say the answers. Of course I had already memorized all the answers from a cheat sheet beforehand. I dont think those things worked. Next i'm going to pretend I have a deep interest in philosophy. Im not sure if that will impress her. Do any of you have any advice on what I should do now? -- Posted by kay dee at 6:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Learn proper grammar. Don't be an idiot? -- Posted by kookykylex3 at 6:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 lol, don't. it ends messy -- Posted by fantazia at 6:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 She might like the goofy type...you never know. -- Posted by AnnieBbyx3 at 6:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Please Please PLEASE! Don't try the "Oh You're Smart So Am I. Let's DATE!" thing. Just BE YOURSELF. No offense but you can't just "pretend" to be smart FOR EVER now and when she finds out the truth she'll be hurt. So just be yourself. Mkay? -- Posted by jasnIZbad at 6:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 get smart -- Posted by snowfish at 6:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 um try NOT any half assed attempt to impress her with a facade that will crumble at the slightest inquiry? Why don't you see if you have any legitimate interests in common or ask her to tutor you. Oh and actually speaking to her might help. -- Posted by Neon Lights at 6:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from katiescarlett at 6:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Learn proper grammar.

Stomp the Yard ftw! -- Posted by Cpt Wtf at 6:38 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 be yourself for christ sake, if she does like you if you act smart how are you gonna keep it up. Just be yourself and if she doesnt like it then tough leave it, you both just dont suit -- Posted by deltarep038 at 6:41 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 dont try to beat her in being smart. be nice, funny, and ask her to help you in school or HW. that way youll be around her. and be nice to other people. shell see that. and dont be too rowdy and no showing off. finally, compliment her but not too much, shell freak out if you do it too much. hope i helped -- Posted by Sety at 6:42 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 u don't have to be a genius just don't be an idiot don't speak like you have no sense and use proper grammar -- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 6:45 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 yeah dude, dont try to act smart if you really aren't (no offense, I'm not saying you're dumb or anything.) Maybe you could try a different approach. People already suggested that you ask her for tutoring....Maybe you could ask her for homework help or something? You mentioned trying to pretend to study philosophy; Maybe you should just read up on lots of different philosophers and their beliefs. I used to know almost nothing about philosophy, but when I joined the speech team, I had to do a performance that had lots of jokes about philosophers and things like that, and all I did was google their names and I found out tons of stuff that makes me sound extra smart when I tell people about it. I didn't even have to do a lot of reading. -- Posted by Aria of Silence at 6:47 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 learn proper grammar. If shes as smart as you say she is, she already knows you're bullshitting. Just be yourself, if she doesn't like you because she doesn't think you're smart enough or anything then shes not worth it. -- Posted by babycutie at 8:52 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 be yourself!! otherwise what's she going to say to you once she finds out? -- Posted by nik1 at 1:05 am on Aug. 28, 2008 If a person knows their interests and brain power are limited it will quickly be perceived by a smart person.  It's called fake and bullshit.  You will be much better off telling the truth, being nice and considerate and respectful than to treat her like she is too dump not to pick up on your false display of intellect.   -- Posted by palepalepeach at 5:06 am on Aug. 28, 2008 Urg, don't pretend to be someone you're not.  If she's as smart as you say she is, do you really think you'll be able to fool her?   Why don't you actually talk to her or tell her you like her? -- Posted by she rockz at 5:07 am on Aug. 28, 2008 don't try to impress her...just be yourself.  The only way to smart girls is to make them laugh.  Have a good sense of humor. -- Posted by TobyBonham at 1:16 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Just be yourself dude, that's what the girls like ;)
