Yeah...she's a no go...found out one of my friends asked her out TWICE (even after being at her house, texting pretty much daily, etc,) and she said no.

Well, I've got a Plan B (Date girl whose madly in love with me, but doesn't live in my town. Pretty decent/good looking) and a Plan C (Try luck with one of original girls' friends).

Or should I back out alltogether?

What should I do?

I'm a girl. I can help.

The Friend Zone is a good place to be in. It might not feel like it, but it is. This means that she trusts you, likes you as a friend, and thinks you're funny and the sort. All hope is not lost. You can edge your way out of the Zone. Personally, when someone is in my Friend Zone, they're in there forever, but I don't like relationships anyway. Two of my friends now like each other, they're first date will probably be to see The Hobbit next week. The guy was in my friend's Friend Zone for a while, but these were her exact words to me yesterday, "He was in the Friend Zone for ages, but somehow he's just managed to... edge his way out." It IS possible to get out of there.

BUT. Don't try too hard to get out of there, because we girls notice it. Don't be too overpowering, but don't leave her alone too much. Talk to her as much as you can, but only when she wants to. If she's not really looking at you, or seems distant, ask her what is wrong. If she says it's nothing, tell her that you know something is wrong. This means you care about her, and you'll gain some more likeage. Don't keep repeating, "What's wrong?", because that is really annoying. Go for the, "I've known you long enough to know when something is wrong." approach. It works. I know.

I should open a Friend Zone helpline here. :lol: If any of you guys want some Friend Zone advice, I'm only a PM away. I understand girl-logic, to an extent. :p

That's weird. You're allowed to use calculators that can solve equations, but can't graph? Usually it's the other way around. That's what I have heard for the most part, anyway.

That's how it's supposed to be but since TI has such a strangehold on the educational industrial complex, nobody knows how the hell Casios work and you won't get in trouble for using one.
 
Tom.
Slightly off the topic but I'd just like to point out to whoever above is considering asking a girl out that going to see a film is a really horrible idea for a first date. You should go and do something where you can talk and get to know each other; grab a coffee/something to eat or even just go for a walk, you have no opportunity to talk for 2 hours in a cinema which isn't great when you're trying to make an impression on each other.

They've been friends for a long time, and are always talking. They know each other pretty well :lol:. They're both Assassin's Creed, Lord of the Rings, Mass Effect etc. nerds, and always talk on Xbox on an evening too. They don't need to get to know each other, as they already do.

Over time you will regret this, I should know, I'll be asking the most I suspect :lol:

Definitely. No teacher at my school knows that Casio actually makes a scientific calculator, and if they did, they sure don't know how to use it.

It's the opposite over here, only ever see Casio calculators, never anything else.
 
Over here were allowed use them, but they are Casio, Sharp and non brand calculators.

When a student over in America has a question about how to use his/her calculator, the first words out of the teacher's mouth are, "Are you using the TI-83 or TI-84?"

Thanks.

I'll keep trying. Nice to see it from a girls' POV.
 
Playing in my schools Holiday Concert tonight, have to go ASAP. Will post how it goes later
 
Errr...got a history test on Monday, I'm studying my butt off by making a timeline of the French Revolution.

But on the bright side, a 104% on my calculus test! :D

It really is. My friend had the Casio equivalent, and the teacher literally told him to go to the computer and google his problem because she hadn't seen that model Casio before.
 
A couple of years ago, everyone in the more technical programs in high school was loaned TI calculators, but these days it's Casio. I guess Casio is pushing for the high school market more than TI here these days, at least in Sweden.

However, it doesn't matter what you use over here because our math books doesn't include detailed instructions on how to solve a problem on X calculator. I heard it's the opposite in the USA, which is why TI is so popular. Correct me if I am wrong.

I use a HP 50g. It's way more powerful than I need, but why not. And yes, I actually do everything by hand and only use the calculator to double check. :)
 
Yet again I didn't get to do pretty much anything in tech because hardly anybody is actually taking my auto class seriously. :rolleyes:

Me and the four others who actually work can't start something new because my teacher has to go over the stuff we did last week which they don't even TRY to do. :grumpy: I wanna ****ing work on cars!
 
So this week is our Keystone tests (Standardized BS); and I got my wisdom teeth out last Thursday... Today was the Biology test, and since I passed it in 9th grade, didn't have to show up to school until 10:45am! So, a bunch of friends went to Denny's. I opted out of it because Denny's isn't a great place to eat and my teeth hurt too much still. So they came and picked me up and we were off to school.... We were speeding in my bud's Mazda 3, when we came up to some turns that I **** you not, are JUST like Eau Rouge! So cool going through there at 70 mph! Then we cruised at about 85 and got to school in record time!

Pretty fun day! School was easy since the teachers didn't have morning classes...
 
^ What'd you get on the Keystones? I don't know anybody who actually got even a C on those. I got a 45% on the biology one and 33% on Geometry. Thank god they don't count toward your grade...
 
Got 80% on my LCVP test, its a subject with stuff like making CV's, letters and businessy type stuff like that, I thanked the teacher for the X's.;)

Got 45% in the first of 4 English Christmas tests, I feel I may get lower on the next one, my essay was about an alien who invaded, took all the money in the world, and I used dog-food to get rid of him...
 
Just got my other Jazzband solo back... a day before the concert. What the hell? I've got a pretty good alto solo for "A Child is Born" but then I have no idea what to do for "Crunchy Frogs" Oh well, that's the whole thing about improvs anyways!

No idea xD it just said I didn't need to take them. I got 'proficiency' on them... So I believe that means I got a 80ish. Only like 50 people in my whole grade didn't have to take it. I was in the overflow bio class in 9th grade, so we got the 12th grade AP biology teacher; he didn't have to go to any curriculum meetings, so we did the AP bio minus the too tricky stuff. So I was quite prepared, but I still had to guess on pretty much all of them. They were insanely hard!

I got advanced proficiency on the math back in 9th grade.
 
I'm in the transition year where we do the Keystones but they don't mean anything, so I don't bother finding out how I did. I hate standardized testing, but I'd take the Keystones over PSSAs anyday.

Do try though. They said they were just a practice and didn't mean anything in 9th grade, but this year those scores were what determined if you had to take Bio or not.

P.S- are you guys in western PA?
 
I'm in central PA. But it's Stupid how they tested you on things you didn't learn and or learned years ago. Very little I actually knew on those Keystones.
 
Mine didn't. Even the assistant principles said 'I know most of this wasn't taught, so if you see one you don't know then just do your best.' Really...? What's the point of testing us on something we never learned?

They said they didn't count. That made most people draw pictures :P
