Yeah listen to Pocheros, I was gonna post the same thing but I didn't want to be the first to say it.

It was probably just a one day thing, nothing to worry over, and worrying over it and blowing it out of proportion like that is kinda, yeah, creepy's the word.

In keeping with the theme.......~that's a missed connection.~

Anyway, it happens man. Just keep a vague idea of her in your head for a year and see if you don't run into her again next year at the Con. I run into people every year that I only know in passing and we usually pick up right where we left off a year before. That's how conventions work. They're like little microcosms of time that exist independently from the rest of the world.

She wasn't.

We've seen Bob's face. I think we all know whether she was interested.

Don't listen to Seil; all his ideas about romance came from Twilight.
Nah, man. If I told him to do the Twilight route, he'd have to know who she is but pretend he hates her - then he sneaks into her room every night to watch her sleep, and drink her blood at some point.

Don't try to hard to find her. If she knows your name and then you become famous by some horrendous error in the lottery or something then she'll find you.

Point is, if she doesn't show up, move on. Hitting the "wait" button on life is gonna make you feel crappy afterwards if she never does find you.

If you want to find her with better odds, go to next year's Comic Con. She might remember and look for you if she goes.

I request a poll about whether or not Seil is allowed to give advice relating to love and romance.
Possible options:

As long as he labels it "what not to do"
Of course he is, I use his advice all of the time!
Depends on Seil's romantic success.
All of that stuff is legal in my country, so sure.

I know you guys are kidding for the most part but does it really seem like stalking? I think Bob is more annoyed that he never got the chance to ask her out at all. Being a stalker would be like, he asked her, she told him no, and now he wants to track her down so he can keep asking her every day for the rest of her life. Bob is annoyed he never even got the chance. I feel sorry for Bob.

The best chance I can come up with is to figure out the first cousin (via the cousin's first name plus the girl's last name) and try to get contact through her. But yeah, better luck next year if you go to the con again.

I had an extremely similar experience at a concert, completely lost her in the crowd when it broke up. Quite disappointing. I mean, it would've been disappointing when I asked her and she inevitably laughed in my face, but at least I would've got the chance to ask her. :D

Seil 10-14-2010 01:20 AM

I think it's less stalker-ish if he sees her on the street and "casually bumps into her." It's more stalkerish if you track her down online, start walking around the area purposefully looking for her, or message her saying "It took me hours of sifting through MySpace to find you!"

Magus 10-14-2010 02:06 AM

So what you're saying is that pursuing a specific woman's phone number, with even the slightest amount of effort, in order to ask her, one time, if she would like to go out on a date, is stalking?

Like, I'm going to refer to Seinfeld here. There was this one episode where he purposefully went to a woman he was interested in's place of work and waited in the lobby so he could "accidentally" bump into her and get her number. Is Seinfeld a stalker?

Well, yeah, I mean, Seinfeld is a stalker, but what I'm saying is that this is automatically looked upon as "I want to stalk you and kidnap you and make you into my rape slave" behavior in our society? Or is it just "I really like this particular girl and want her number because I like this particular girl" behavior.

What I'm asking is, if I want a specific girl's number, putting even the slightest modicum of effort into getting it is stalking? It just seems like the only way I'd ever get it, in this situation. Not stalking. Stalking is when I have ready access to her number and call her up twenty times day and at night to pant loudly into her phone.

Thanks guys. I think I'm over it now. Might have just been a bout of con depression mixed with sleep deprivation. We'll see about bumping into her next year.
