How to pick up a librarian.

[silentsentinel]

Catch the same train as her, then save her from a drunk.

(if no one got that, that's fine too)


She's a librarian, talk about books.

I got the reference... you're talking about that Japanese Train Man guy, right?

I say Be afraid [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWlPkUFJNJ0], be very afraid.

(Constains mild nudity, no *nakedness* and adult themes. Generic teenage-movie sex-scene with a twist.)

Oh, and it's the librarian from Tomcats by the way.

See, now I would have had no problem with any of that until the granny arrived. Though the Scarlet Letter was a bit much.

That guy still could have gotten some, he just had to go through some.....bumps first.

DO NOT come up to her sheepishly and ask for the adult section.

Win the fair lady's hand! I have used this advice elsewhere on this forum, but find someone she dislikes and DUEL the man! Stike him down for the maiden's heart!

 

[tiredinnuendo]

Obviously, you get a librarian like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnFv29iPACc].

Duh.

What do they teach kids these days?

Friendship is always the first floor. Good luck!

Unless any further floors are blocked off. It isn't called the FRIENDzone for nothing. A guy has to maintain his interest in the girl and have her know that he is interested in her to avoid it. If you try and pull the "I'll just start working a friendship with her and progess from there" angle, then that is all he will be stuck with.

Remember, it's easy to become friends with someone once you are dating them, it's damn near bloody impossible to date someone once you are friends with them.

EDIT: And for the love of god do NOT talk about books or her job until she brings it up! Do you really think a librarian wants to talk about books 24/7, ESPECIALLY as a prelude to being asked out on a date? As others above me have said, find out her other interests and work it from there. No one is their job, and if they are and their job isn't gigilo or escort, then they are pretty boring people.

Also, if humor is your thing, be funny.
If you're not good at making jokes, avoid.
Nobody likes an awkward joke.

But awkward is so fun to watch.
Find somone with a camera!!
I mean I hope it works out, but if it dosent......

Grow some balls.... Girls like guys with confidence... So be Confident and be yourself... If she isn't interested, then give up, find someone who appreciates you for you.

 

[space_oddity]

Girls dont find shyness attractive.
They dont.
Your goal is to be self confident, but not a dick.
Whenever you feel nervous, just think "What would James Dean do?"

 

[LewsTherin]

Walk up, say hi, and improv away.

My face cant handle how good this reference is.


Also @OP, have you considered expressing your love through the art of interpretive dance?

make a joke about books sounds good

I would drill a hole in a book. Put the book in your lap and ask the libra.... you know what... I was going somewhere but I'm backing out. Just politely ask her if she'd like to go out sometime.

Just go to the library, start a conversation, and let her know you'd like to see her outside of work. That's it.

 

[dontworryaboutit]

With your arms.

 

[USSR]

Start a conversation about books, then later ask her out for a cup o' coffee if it goes well =p

 

[FailingwithStyle]

Right, this is how it is.

I signed up to my new, local library today because I had 30 minutes to kill before I met some friends . Turns out it has some pretty good books on local history in there, and one of which was extremely useful in the book im writing, so i took it.

Anyway... I take it up to the counter, and damn! The librarian is hot.

Not wearing a bucket of make up, not dressed tartily. Hair up, she is wearing glasses. But, this girl was beautiful, had a nice smile, well spoken. Just my type. Naturally, I go to jelly and manage to just about make enough noise to give her my details to register for a library card and that was about it.

I am by no means, Brad Pitt, but Im not an ugly guy either. Im over 6 feet tall, got a solid 250lb frame and I have had what id consider medium to good luck with girls in the past. Im just incredibly, incredibly shy and every relationship I have ever been in in the past has come from me being friends with the person first and something developing. Iv never had to try to "chat someone up", or picked someone up in a club or a pub or whatever, let alone a library...

So, fellow Escapists, I come to you for advice. What should a shy guy do to try and break the ice? Anyone been in a similar situation before?

Aww! That's so cute

First of all, you should try to be confident. Girls are extremely attracted to that. But don't be an asshole. She obviously likes books, so why not ask her what books she recommends, and why she likes them? It shows you're taking in interest in her opinion and you're getting to know her too ^^. Try building conversation from there, and possibly throw in nice compliments - I don't mean: "You're so hot .. blahblah.. I'd tap that ass" or whatever. Compliment on her intelligence and knowledge. Girls like her like being appreciated for what they know.

Hope this slightly helps! Good luck buddy

Okay, first, before you check for the ring she could still have a boyfriend/girlfriend. If that's the case, just start being friends with her. Don't make it too serious yet. Then try to make it like that long enough to be sure she doesn't have boyfriend/girlfriend. If she does, well, sorry to hear about that. But if she doesn't, congrats, you've established a connection. Then ask her if she's interested to go on a date.

 

[Danzaivar]

Check for a ring, then ask her out. Being upfront and confident should do the trick.

Every second you spend being friendly with her before that is a second closer to being friend-zoned.
