'Who's car is that? They yellow and black one? It's really cute!' she says, pointing to my car.

'Oh that's mine! Yeah, that's bumblebee' I replied.

'It's yours? That's so cool! Bumblebee... yeah I love what you've done with it' - she's all smiles, and twirling her hair through her fingers. (Does that mean something or am I reading too far into it? I barely even know her)

Damn, I'm feeling good. Got those car compliment vibes running through me.

You can't help but love that cheeky grin.

So it does mean something! Oh man, she is gonna be so disappointed when she finds out I bat for the other team.

You're not reading too much into it. Ask her if she'd like to drive it sometime?

Most girls I know give zero fucks about cars, she prob just likes you. Are you sure she didn't know it was your car?

Once I was driving through an area known for bars. A girl on the side walk yelled at me "Nice Cavalier" as I pulled up to a stop sign.

It was the greatest moment of my automotive career.

I hope you rolled down the window, gave her a solid wink and rolled off into the night like a bigbossyboss.

Nope.

Hell, if you aren't interested maybe she'll want to get FiSTed sometime (sorry I had to). I do like your people.

Pretty sure, I've only seen her around a few times and we haven't spoken. Kinda hoping it is the car she's interested in, however unlikely that is, because I don't exactly go for her type (read: gender)

The windows were already down. If it's anything approaching a moderate temperature (above 0C) I have my window at least part down unless it's raining.

I just said "thanks!" and then rolled on out.

Good thinking; could be fun!

Conan > Thunderbee - Has the engine that kids like

She seems cool. Make it clear in a nice way and hang with her. Then maybe she can find some fellow who likes ladies.

The hair twirling is just a habit, don't read into that too much.... OH you mean the whole conversation? If you think she knew it was yours and wanted to strike up a conversation, I second Conan, ask if she wants to drive it sometime. Can't hurt!

RazoE > Thunderbee - Has the engine that kids like

Strokes your ego, doesn't it? I was at a stop light waiting to turn right, when a girl (18ish) passes in the crosswalk, points to my car, gives me a thumbs up and says "nice car!"

I felt like Hefner after that.

Yeah, she was real nice! I'll wear my 'I'm not gay, my boyfriend is' shirt to work. That should do it.

Thanks for the insight, girls aren't quite my forte! I have a feeling she owns a red Corsa, similar to mine. We could be Corsa buddies!

Psh, I give quite a few fucks! The day after my first date with CrzRsn, I was walking to lunch and saw his Mustang parked on the street, so I sent him a picture of his car and asked if he wanted to meet me for lunch. There was another GHIG Mustang parked right behind him, but with different wheels. I remembered his were the better ones even though I'd had a few when I first saw it :P

I often do the same. Do you have wind deflectors? They're such a wonderful thing.

I'm willing to bet you were feeling pretty good on your way out!

Give her the D. She knows she wants it.

Straight girls aren't my forte either but I apparently pass for one ;)

thebigbossyboss > Thunderbee - Has the engine that kids like
08/21/2014 at 09:57

I do not have deflectors. I have considered them, but I think I'm good without.

I felt......LIKE A BOSS!

Because the world is a cruel place my friend.

Thunderbee - Has the engine that kids like > yamahog
08/21/2014 at 09:58

You're lucky! I have a tough time passing for straight somehow, though I'm not all flamboyance and 'ooh heyyy'. They see the gay within.

Similar thing happened to me back when my car was a bit fresher.

08/21/2014 at 10:01

Understandable. I bought them as a visual piece at first, the deflection was a bonus!

So, in this case, you both literally and figuratively gave a few fucks? lol

Also, don't get me wrong, but its not much of a surprise that one of maybe 5 girls on Oppo cares about cars. You are almost certainly the exception.

yamahog > macanamera
08/21/2014 at 10:06

No comment on the date ;)

And I personally know some women who are casually to more-than-casually into cars, but don't like talking about it in groups of dudes because of past experiences with them dominating conversation and/or making them feel dumb for not having the same level of obsession. More out there than you'd think!

Wait, you're saying majority of the women on Oppo don't care about cars? I'm curious how you came to that conclusion and which of them you believe don't care.

macanamera > Dusty Ventures
08/21/2014 at 11:31

No, I'm saying that there are barely any women on Oppo. Those that are, care.

Dusty Ventures > macanamera
08/21/2014 at 11:40

Ah, ok. No I gotcha

JEM > yamahog
08/21/2014 at 15:07

Really? Because every article I've read on "ways to tell if a woman is interested in you" mentions the playing with the hair thing as a sign.

(please note: I'm a clueless engineer and can use all the help identifying women who are interested in me)

yamahog > JEM
08/21/2014 at 15:13

I wish there were more articles on "ways to tell if a woman is NOT interested in you," because those are more important. Hair twirling is just a habit, like playing with a ring or necklace. If she's trying to end the conversation and leave (a lot of people try to do this really subtly and politely so as to not anger the guy), not interested. Genuinely interested in the conversation? Good!
