with any luck this will be The Truman Show of threads. We could read about this blossoming relationship through the ups and downs, getting married, and half a million posts from now we'll be celebrating make a move and MCAT girl's first child!
Eventually make a move will slip up like 10 years from now, MCAT girl will see this thread, read all 1 million posts, and realize she's been living in a made-up letsrun fantasy marriage. She'll leave make a move, taking their child, and we'll be treated to make a move's spiral into depression as he posts his every dark thought and bleak outlook on life, and so the thread itself will spiral into its own depression of trolldom. After months of gloom a letsrun hero will emerge and inspire make a move to get back on with his life, elevating this thread back to joyful optimism (intermixed with occasional trolls, of course, calling for make a move's demise).
We will be witness to the miraculous event of this letsrun hero helping to get make a move's life back together as he meets the woman of his dreams and beats all his college PRs. At the OPs request the letsrun hero then unveils his true identity and it is none other than the legend Alan Webb. Mass worship ensues. It is the second coming of Webb. The Brojos put up a black page for the occasion, it lasts for weeks.
The final post of the thread is make a move posting a blurry camera phone picture of him, his new wife, and Webb all together in the same coffee shop that started us all on this great journey. Nobody ever posts in this thread again as everyone understands we have just witnessed a perfect ending to an epic thread, even trolls renounce their trolldom. Alan Webb has Saved them all. Dreams truly have become reality.
It's the second coming and the first Webb is still around? Is that how there wil be three people in the photo?

female note wrote:Jealous? I have a boyfriend with a pair of balls. He didn't sit around messaging strangers.
So, female note. What do you think of his balls now?
Huh? She doesn't really read letsrun much but we did have a good time with this thread. What is your interest in my balls about.

It's actually kind of mundane, but I'm happy you're excited.

HA! This is awesome! WIN WIN WIN WIN AND WIN!
THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT BOYS!!!!!!!
Massive overreaction, shows this sort of thing doesn't happen for you much. I don't think you're really schooling anyone but nice idea posting here to push yourself to follow through. Next time you can just do it because you want to!
What are the odds that male/female note and the OP are the same person? I would say somewhere between 2:1 and 3:1.
I would take even odds that male/female note is just one guy.

It's not happening much for you either since you settled.
Probably didn't happen before.

She is quite attractive. Brown hair, Scarlet Johansson-like face and seems like the All-American girl. She's being studious right now so I don't want to bother her but I will make a move when the opportunity arises.
Taking suggestions on how I should proceed starting now. Will update thread during the next couple of hours.
Scarlet Johannson is a horrible moron and a bad actress. Obvious looks. The All-American thing is grim too -- you have terrible, vanilla taste and your personality is probably extremely depressing and bland. I suggest spending a few years doing drugs and taking chances with your life. Otherwise you're going to make people throw up.
No offense, and good luck.

Sweet, that's what this thread is all about. Keep us up to date.

I thought/hoped they were just trolls until the guy bragged about being a triathlete. No halfway decent troll would brag about being a triathlete...
Wasn't it the dried up girlfriend that said he was a tri douche?
9.5/10
Just read entire thread and OP deserves kudos for the setup, looping us all in, going MCAT over barista, being opportunistic rather than obvious, etc. -- then giving a recap.
The fact that there was some sort of success/payoff is not a huge surprise.
Nicely done!

Way out of your league. Girls like that settle for nothing less than high-status, genetically fit males. Your competition is going to include radiation oncologists.

Haha I just looked back and it was "both of them typing together." But it was said in the first person so it was the guy. Cringe.
Today's headline: I never texted her back last night and I'm kind of glad I didn't. It's not because I didn't want to it's because I couldn't and the events that unfolded last night would have made a bad impression on her which leads me to my next point.
I want to text her back today. I would call but I fear she won't answer if I call and I am not going to leave a tacky message. Non-millenials do not understand the modern day text game. I'm not going to try and explain it but I will link you to somewhat of a worthy read on the end of courtship:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/fashion/the-end-of-courtship.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Some might argue that I now have the upper edge for not texting her back last night. Others will be like, "you blew your chance." Unfortunately traditional courtship is not what works in today's world. Today's courtship almost dissolves into a competition of "who can appear the least interested".
I wanted to text back and say something but the time simply escaped me.
Recap of yesterday/last night:
Set out on the journey to the house warming party. Right where I left off here. It started drizzling on my way to the house. When I arrived to the house (quite the house) the bonfire was still going in back but was nothing like I anticipated. Plus the light rain had moved everyone inside. Almost right after I arrived and said hello to people my good friend asked the question, "Can you drive?" as in can you get us from point A (house warming party) to point B (midnight surprise party at bar). As in, he probably promised our other friends that he'd talk to me about driving. It was 10:15PM already, others had been drinking and I have the biggest vehicle so it made sense.
I checked in here last night at 11:07 to tell others of an im-poster with my same handle. I also told people I hadn't texted her back yet. Again, not because I didn't want to.
11:25PM: We leave the house warming party at about
At "Micky's old bar": Just before midnight the live music is blaring, there's a large presence of my group of friends at the establishment, in a reserved corner of tables there's traditional cake and balloons anxiously awaiting my friend's arrival that the girls had set up, late night food and booze flowing and then
12:00PM: SURPRISE! My one friend was completely shocked! AWESOME!
12:50AM: Get ready to face palm...CAT FIGHT ALERT!
A drunk female bar patron (also celebrating her birthday) walked over to our little reserved area. No one in my group knew this woman. She had a pen or something in her hand and started attacking a cluster of the balloons one of the girl's had set up for the party. She popped a bunch of them. Then, an intoxicated firecracker girl in our group got in this balloon popper's face. Words were exchanged. "It's my birthday too, bitch", said the balloon popper. Balloon popper's boyfriend sees what's going on, puts his hand between them to try and break it up. Firecracker girl's boyfriend then steps up to the confrontation and get's in the balloon popper's boyfriend's face. By the time this all settles down it's like 1:25 AM.
Interesting night but nothing that I wanted this girl Kristen to ever see.

Jamin, NO. NO NO NO AND NO. BAD JAMIN.
You can't think like this.
To everyone else who says something along the lines of "your life must be so boring" or "this must not happen for you all the time".
The answer is no. No, my life is not boring and no, flirting with cute intellectuals in a non-bar setting doesn't happen every day for me anymore. College is over! I avoid dipping the pen in company ink these days to avoid drama! When I go to the gym I actually work out and don't try to pick up women!
I'd much prefer to meet an ambitious girl in a coffee shop like I did yesterday versus beer goggling some party skank in the bar.
I think you just lost us all. It's like our favorite author just suffered writers block and started babbling.

Not any girl who's actually worth a damn, chief.
But if you're just looking for a sexual partner, more power to you.
