Got a drug issue. Presumably weed given that it's referred to as a plant at one point. Options were:

- Tax and regulate drugs.

- Set age limits for buying drugs.

- Ban drugs.

- Ban drugs, alcohol, and smoking.

- Infuse the water supply with drugs.

I'm pretty sure five is the maximum amount of options an issue can have- I don't think I've seen one with six, but I could be mistaken- and all five are different means of regulation. I just think it's strange that there could be a drug related issue with five options and there not be a single deregulation option.

Well Nuremgard is known for its "absence of drug laws." I did that by legalising weed.

Okay, now OOC, which is rare for me on this forum, but this is a proper question, I need some advice, and you guys are decent peoples, (well, deep down, ;)).

Anyway, there's this girl I like, (it's always about a girl, isn't it). We've been talking very consistently for 3-4 weeks, in person and via text. I've never detected any sign, that I can see at least, that she's scared of or non appreciative of my attentions.

Alrighty, continue.

So, I'd say we've hit it of. But I need to make sure that I'm coming as "potential partner" not just "friend". We're going to a party on Saturday evening. I think this would be a good time to tell her about these feelings. Not in a desperate or gushy way, just so that she knows unequivocally that I'm interested in more than friendship.

A sort of "Listen, I just need to tell you, I like you, in a romantic way" if you will.

Aldaur

I've got my idea for getting to that level of conversation, (it's both topical and appropriate), but I want to know, is this the best course of action?

Should I perhaps ask her out instead? I was going to do both simultaneously, and asking for dating first seems a bit cart before the horse.

Besides, that may come off as still friendly. What do you guys think?

Like Peng and Vista, I don't think I'm the best person to ask in this case. All I'll say is that whatever you do, be confident but not pushy. Be committed to what you want to do, and it'll show when you finally do it.

See, I'm going to ask her out. But I think I should say, "in a romantic way" first. Just in case it becomes one of those friend dates, which I don't want.

But no, not exactly that. Contrary to popular belief, I don't really talk like Percy Blythe Shelley in the real world. But I have the appropriate topical conversation that I will make to that point.

As a gay male in middle class America, I know what the ladies like. And what the ladies like is very different from person to person.

For instance, if she's more of a private person, a party may not be the best place because there's a lot of people around and it's kind of a personal thing to go out on a romantic date. Or in turn, she may be perfectly cool with it.

Same goes for presentation. For instance, at school, I have two friends named Moira and Jordan. Moira is a casual person, if you want to date her, you basically make it obvious and just ask her. Jordan on the other hand prefers the romantic beating around the bush and stuff. It's all dependent and you have to gauge on what kind she'll be more receptive, because tone and presentation is anything and everything. But above all, be considerate. For instance, if she wants a more private time to talk about it, then that's okay. If she wants to take things slow, then that's also okay. Never try to push her into something, it'll make her uncomfortable and it's just kind of a douchey thing to do.

As long as you know how she handles herself in terms of privacy and intimacy (The romantic kind), then you should be fine.

Thanks Sul, this is excellent advice. For the record, it's her idea that we go to the party, and besides, it's more a causal braai/bonfire than a hardcore, alcohol and dance music party.

She's not shy, per se, but she's a lot like me. Friendly and amenable, but not overly given to openness or anything extensive.

My judgement on the situation suggests that, perhaps like myself, she may not be able to make a clear decision without an out and out. For instance, never being sure if gestures are a romantic or friendly thing.

Besides this, I plan to make sure the setting is private, and that she has both time to think about the situation, and doesn't feel pressure one way or the other. I'm just looking for honesty, I don't want to waste anybody's time.

Just ask her out. Be all like, "Yo, you wanna go out with me?", or "Hey, wanna be my girlfriend?" It is really that easy, and most women I know at least appreciate it when a fella is direct.

Most people I know seem to have trouble just asking the question, and the question is like 90 percent of the battle.

I may be too late with my answer, but as far as I know I am the only fella in the region who is married, so I figured I should add my piece at least.
