we started the band over a slice of pizza actually.Marowit said:Dude, just ask her out for a slice of pizza. If it goes well, and you start to date then spring the song on her.

If you need to ask if something is creepy, in general, it's creepy. Just ask her out on a regular ol' date. The whole, 'immatellyouhowifeelthroughasongandnotjusttalktoyoulikeaperson-tact' seems like an obvious pitfall.darthotaku said:we started the band over a slice of pizza actually.Marowit said:Dude, just ask her out for a slice of pizza.

THIS!Bobic said:Why not try telling her in a normal non-awkward way?
Well put. Whenever my romantic instincts tell me to do one thing, I know I should avoid doing it at all costs. I'm a romantic, I have impossible standards for everyone, myself included.TheMaddestHatter said:My inner romantic says this is a very, very good idea. So, avoid this idea like the plague and just talk to her. My inner romantic is a bit of a 'tard >.>
Personally, I find that fairly romantic, however if you do this in front of the rest of the band then it could be a bit more awkward. I'd recommend perhaps telling her more directly that you like her, without the rest of the band knowing. Write another song as backup for the band in case things don't go as well as you like. Or maybe try giving her that song, saying to her that you wrote it for her, and see how she reacts, but again, do it privately, without the rest of the band knowing. Other than that, all I can say is good luck, and I hope things go well for you .darthotaku said:So theres this girl I like. She wanted to start a band and I'm the only drummer she knows, because of that I'm in the band and I also was asked to write a song because I also happen to be good at that.
I then wrote a song describing my feelings for her, I would like to ask the people of the escapist if it would be wierd if I suggest we play that song during the next band meeting.
I didn't go so far as to use her name in the song, but everyone who sees the lyrics will figure it out.
so should I give her the song or not?
edit: nobody has yet to see the song so I don't have to bring it up if it's a bad idea
and the band is only starting to form really. right now it's just her on guitar, me on drums and possibly one of my friends on bass. if this doesn't work than it won't really disrupt the band.
People only say that because they have regrets over not being more outgoing. People are generally conservative. If they were more outgoing, they'd regret most of what they did.wolf thing said:go for it. if she doesn't return your affection after the song then she wouldn't any way. also one of my old physics treachers told me this "fate favers the brave"
