Well, at the risk of sounding silly, why not ask her out but tell her that it's
not a date?  I'm not suggesting any sort of scam here, just two friends doing
something together.  After all, "date" has connotations of McDonald's, a movie,
and a kiss at the front door, whereas often the young ladies would prefer not to
have to commit themselves to more that McDonald's and the movie.  After all, if
you can just go out with someone and just enjoy yourselves, one of two things can
happen (i) that little spark can appear, and you can go on to be boyfriend and
girlfriend, or (ii) that little spark doesn't appear, but you end up with a good
friend.  Neither of these alternatives is to be sneezed at.  My feeling is that if
you go and do something with someone, that you will both know if you want more.
I don't think that there is ever any need to "force" things.  I'm sure that it
works sometimes, but I bet that it fails even more.

	Just remember to sound confident.  As a suggestion, something like
"would you like to do ... , but say no if you want, it was just an idea" or
something like that, which clearly gives her the polite option to decline,
could be a way to start.  But really it's up to you.
				Best of luck,
							Tony.

Shadowette is left positively speechless, as she takes a hand, smeared in melted
marshmellow and chocolate, to move a few strands of her golden locks, dripping 
with apples, out of her face.  She hadn't been expecting that Texan to be in
the fight.  Oh, well, he got her........she looks down at the yellow rose and
smiles and looks as if she is in deep thought.  All of a sudden a sly grin comes
across her face.....

"Just you wait, you crazy Texan...." she says.  As Candlelit Eyes runs into
the night he can hear Shadowette's sinister giggle.

"Mueheheheheheeeeee........"

Shadowette turns around ready to get back into the fray.  She peeks 
around the corner and sees a caramel-covered Sean.

"Way to go, Rat!!!!!" --shouts the Shadowette.

The Shadowette glances around looking for a victim.......

She spies DreamWeaver peeking around the door.  He comes farther in to get a
better look.  

"Well, now, it's time he joins in on the fun," she says.

Taking her Super Soaker X4500 Honey Flinger, she turns the knob to "Full Blast--
No Mercy" and takes careful aim.  

"Ooohhhh, Dreeeeaaammmmm......" she says.

Dream looks up and his eyes widen.  

"SSSSPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"

Dream looks down at himself dripping in honey and wonders what to do.

In the meanwhile, from inside her cape, Shadowette pulls out the EXTRA LARGE,
FAMILY SIZE bag of theater popcorn.

"Ooohhhh, Dreeeaaammmmm........" she shouts.

He looks up again.

"WWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"  is the last thing he hears before
he is covered in popcorn.

"Oh, dear." she says.  "I forgot the butter."  

Using the "QUICK RELOAD TANK" option on her Honey Flinger, she converts it to
a Super Soaker X4500 Butter Blobber.

"PPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"

With that she smiles and winks at Dream and says, "No hard feelings?"
and runs off behind the Mile-Wide-Vat-O-Chocolate to see what Rat is up to.

"Now remember, the ACME Super Accelerator Y23E56s Extra Chocolatey,

"Good......just out of curiosity......who gets to clean up this

However, she steps on a cheesecake mine that CatGuy has carefully
planted.  As Shadowette hits the ground, a soft purring sound can
be heard.  CatGuy's furry face appears and says, "You're a mess
Shadowette.  How will you be able to lurk in shadows looking like
that?  I guess I have no choice but to clean you up."

Moi?  What makes you think that I always have something to say?  Even if I do :-) .
I can honestly say that I never met my knight in shining armour through the net.  I met my
wife at university, but not electronically.  There are no other past girlfriends to speak
of, so that's it really.  In truth, if you guys could meet me for real, you'd think meeting
rip was a breeze, so I can't claim that prose across the net really gives a good idea of
someone.
	I have a friend here involved in a LDR (long distance romance) with a young lady
from UCLA, and they met via the net.  He was watching over a friend's email, and tried to
pretend to be an automatic email answering machine.  Someone from UCLA was rather less than
fooled by this, so he arranged for his friends to flood my friend with email.  One of the
responders was a young lady called Nora, who kept writing to my friend Steve.  Based on
their experience, I would say that email/postings don't really tell you as much as you
might like to know (one has too much time to keep rethinking what one will say).  However,
Steve and Nora communicate interactively (something like the 'talk' program in UNIX, only
ours doesn't work, so they 'write' to each other at the same time).  If you can get
something going in *real time*, it is a *much* better indication, I think.
	It still doesn't help with people's physical expectations, of course, though I have
noted that some groups on the net are taking postings of scanned faces.  You won't be
seeing one from me, that's for sure!! ;-)
	Anyway, I guess I did have something to say!

&Oh geez!  Really?  You guys really want ME to be Prez?

Ross Perot was busy...

&Gosh....guess I have to make a speach....

does this mean we get free coffee and donuts? OK!

&Thank you ladies and gentlemen.  Please, take a seat.

Hmmmm...  It's just me and the computer here....

&This might take awhile..

Naw, I'm getting pretty good at this... "nice computer, nice computer..."

[stuff mercifully deleted (forgot my sacrifices again)]

&for being Blade...Ender for voting for me...and all the wonderful folks in
&ARCland who voted for me.

I wanted Ross Perot!

&First rule....
&French Kiss...its the law...*snicker*
&(I think I'm going to like this....)

Yeah, us too! Thanks Madam Prez! There's this really excellent face that

is always staring back at me from my computer screen that I've always
wanted to get my tongue wrapped around.

!Thank you and I hope to be able to do my job well and serve all of the RFA
to the best of my ability.

Ah, into submission too...
