RE: "Whatever you do, dont ever follow up on advice of us socially handicapped chessplayers about women...."


lol. Grin
Some of the best advice I've seen on this site.

BTW, I wonder why Alexandra Kosteniuk isn't returning my emails...?
Maybe she didn't get them....
I'd better go send more!

Especially in this particular department of life.  Eventually, restraint in such matters is much more likely to be regretted than rashness.

Btw what is the problem? Just ask her out on a date. After all fortune favours the bold.


  
If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

HgMan, 

There's nothing wrong with an adolescent asking about what to do in such a situation.  In fact, it's perfectly normal.  Except that he's asking a bunch of semi-anonymous people in a public forum instead of people close to him.  Then again, even that is normal since the subject of the opposite sex is pretty complicated and sometimes embarrassing. Embarrassed

cyronix, 

Set your priorities, figure out for yourself what you want and why, and then decide on the proper course of action (or inaction). If the girl only seems unattainable because she is beautiful, intelligent and plays chess in the same tournaments as you perhaps you have so much in common that you would make a blunder by *not* asking her out.  

If you do ask her out, be specific.  Don't just say, "do you want to go on a date."  Ask her if she'll have lunch with you after the 3rd round (or whatever).

If the girl is unattainable because she's already taken or is in some other way completely unavailable, then find a way to get over it.  

Isaac Newton suggested that if you constantly think about being chaste, you will end up thinking only of the opposite sex.  Instead occupy your mind with other thoughts.  His other thoughts included mathematical equations and solving the mysteries of the universe.  Perhaps you could use your energies to become a GM?

Take the English recipe: stiff upperlip and pretend there is nothing wrong.


Exactly, and it's not only the English who do that.  But have you made your feelings plain to the young lady?  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I say play in the tournament regardless.

Maybe we should start a poll....

Sac the tournament and check out her games (and her!).

(many more tournaments to come vs. very few attractive female chessplayers..)

P.S.: imagine you make out with her - she can also teach you some decent moves.. Grin

We are all the slaves of our genetic program. Ride the genetic wave like a Hawaian silver surfer and enjoy yourself. Love the game and try to love the woman, but have "Fun Fun Fun" like the Beach Boys once said Cool

you love a female chessplayer, but she is unatteinable for you.
and it is totally embarrassing  for you to play in tourney where she plays,
but on the other hand you are also in love with the game of chess,
and you want to prove yourself out there.
what do you do if you'd like to play a tourney where she does also participate in?
