    Would this be creepy???

    Long story short, I'm a college student. Yay me. I'm also a super nerd who loves school and learning and books (Stephen King, Lord of the Flies, Dante's Inferno, V.C. Andrews, etc. Not Twilight sparkle love love vampire crappola) and cleaning and pretty much everything that a normal college kid hates. I hate parties, drinking, smoking, speeding, and pretty much everything that the stereotypical college student does. I'm a freak of nature, a rare bird, whatever you want to call me. Anywho, as a result, I typically don't date because I don't typically see men I'd like to date. My ideal man would be slightly older, serious, mature, intelligent, articulate, and able to expand my current knowledge. Looks don't much matter, so long as he's taller than me when I'm in heels.
    I prefer "and that is why e=MC^2" to "huh huh huh check out my pecs"!
    Soooo there's one guy in my Calculus class who I never noticed until one day when he explained the programming of the TI84 and why the graph didn't display correctly. Whenever the teacher had a problem getting a piece of equipment to work, he would go help.

    He's very intelligent, but he doesn't let it go to his head. He's very humble about it and has no problem helping whoever needs help. I've been thinking about asking him out for a cup of coffee or something, but I think that might be creepy. Hell, I don't even know his name!

    "Hey smart guy who's name I don't know but is in my Calc class! Wanna go get some coffee?"
    "Hey girl who I've never met before who apparently shares a class with me! No thanks!"

    So...creepy or no?

    I think it will not be creepy if you start up a couple of conversations after class first. If you've already started talking and getting to know each other, it'll be a natural progression.

      It doesn't sound creepy at all. For all you know, he might be flattered.

        Nope. I've never talked to him lol. I actually don't know how to talk to him. I pretty much just stare at the back of his head for 4 hours a week.

          Haha you remind me of me at your age. Ask him a question or tell him you like his shirt or something, even if it seems stupid. If he thinks you're cute, it won't matter.

            Does he carry any books besides ones for class? Or books for another class that you might be interested in taking?

            Basically, find something to start a convo and work from there.

            Or, yes, if you're extroverted enough, you could just ask and see if he'd like to do a "get to know you" coffee date. It works for some people...supposedly. I could never do it myself.

              He has a nifty calculator. Other than that, nothing special. I'm so introverted I could implode

                And you ARE cute. I haz seen pictures. Just ask him about his cool calculator and tell Auntie Food Lady the details later. (My dating life is non-existent; let me live vicariously. )

                  Okay. So I have to admit I had a crush on the library aide at my college freshman year. Iasked him about art book till he got the hint. Ask him about his cacukator or for the homework problems or ask him if he wants to start a study group! It is hard being an introvert I know but you can do it Kisa!

                    Seshat's method:

                    "Hi. I've been listening to your comments in class, and you sound smart and like someone I'd like to get to know. Would you like to meet for coffee, or a study group, or something? Your choice."


                    Of course, it's possible that Seshat's method would be creepy too. :/
                    Seshat's self-help guide:
                    1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                    2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                    3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                    4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                      I had crushes on lots of people. However, I'm also quite gregarious naturally, so it was no effort at all to just go up to somebody and start talking to them about something I knew they were interested in.

                      It's interesting to note that many people quite enjoy talking about themselves and their hobbies; it only takes a few questions to get them started.

                      Hell, half of the stuff I'm interested in was stuff I checked out 'cause my latest crush was into it.

                          Just start talking to him! Say hello or make a small comment about the homework. If he responds positively, it will give you courage to ask to see him outside of class

                          Just remember that nothing worthwhile happens in life without a little bit of effort. You won't know what his response will be until you ask him.

                            Looks are a pretty small part of the set "cute" --- attitude, emotional outlook, etc. And people are visual, so being looks cute (in their mind) doesn't hurt either. And he can judge your looks w/o sitting down and talking to you, but if you're gonna show off your brain, you're gonna have to take the plunge.

                            There's really nothing creepy going on here at all, it's SOP for, well, dating. Or is it the "role reversal" part that you think is odd? If so, I've always been VERY flattered when the woman approached me, from the casual line (like yours above) to a convoluted plot to have dinner alone (a workmate who was a little on the shy side).

                            Go for it.

                              Seshat's method is just too...extroverted. I would've died if I ever tried that on one of my crushes >.<

                              But big thing, Kisa, not only is he a guy and guy = clueless, he's prolly also an introverted geek like you which = extra clueless. You may have to drop a clue by four on him.
