Looks like his ex-girlfriend has explained how a few days before the crash, the co-pilot talked to her about how he would do something that would ''make everyone remember him''.

Am I the only one feeling a bit sick in my stomach right now? How do you even...

A billion more wishes :P

KOTOR 1 and 2, Crimson Skies, Battlefront 2, James Bond Nightfire and Everything or Nothing, MechAssault 1 and 2, ...

So many great games and memories from that console! Still have it downstairs in the same spot, for over 10 years. All it needed in repairs was a new belt for the disk tray. Still runs like a charm. Maybe I should go play it...

Since I am in college, I guess what I expect from a girl in a relationship is mostly related to how she presents herself:

• Is she ambitious and driven in her studies? (does she want to do something with her life, set goals and achieve them, etc.)
• Is she calm and detached in the sense that I don't have to be with her all the time? (science programs really suck all the time and life out of you)
• Is she mature and professional? How does she dress? Because for me, nothing melts my heart more than seeing a girl dressed in a classy and cute shirt/dark jeans with a spritz of perfume. Beats out half torn leggings and t-shirts any day for me (too bad this is way more frequent than it should be)

Then, there are the stuff that isn't related to how I see her in school:

• Confidence
• Loyalty/Trust (can talk to them about what I am feeling and vice versa)
• Playful and talkative, but able to be serious when required

Then again, the girl in question also has to be pretty. Not a 10/10 or 9/10 model, mind you. I value someone who is a 6/10 but works hard to present themselves as an 8/10 much higher than someone who is 10/10 but who's personality and values just don't correspond with my own.

@LJS9502_basic: Oh, I meant agonizing more in an anticipating sort of way :)

@LJS9502_basic: In case you wanted an update, I asked her today after class if she was interested in going to eat at the mall across the street sometime. She said she had no breaks tomorrow, and then I asked her if we could maybe discuss this again after March Break (for colleges here in Canada), she said sure thing, with a smile :)

At least it wasn't a no haha. Guess I'll have to wait one agonizing week to find out...

@LJS9502_basic: That was the plan yeah. I just first wanted to let her know I exist and do some small talk with her over a couple of classes. I did not want to be abrupt. Think I am comfortable asking her out now, just have to wait until next class or the one after. Guess we'll see what happens...

@LJS9502_basic: When did I say I didn't? I was just disappointed at my lack of luck and was wondering if I was missing something. So far in college this year there have been two girls who have caught my eye. One of them I had in my class last semester, and I would walk with her until our lockers whenever we finished class. We'd talk and I would give her an odd compliment here and there, but I think she just wasn't interested, since when I asked her if she wanted to go grab a bite to eat sometime, she responded ''Oh (My name), you're a really sweet guy and all, but I actually just got a boyfriend recently and...'' I think it was more of an excuse than anything, but since it was the first time ever asking a girl out (hey, some guys take longer than others :) ), I just shrugged it off and accepted the rejection.

Now, I have this different girl in one of my classes this semester, and while the early signs from her seemed mixed (smiles and sends me glances in class, but never sticks around for a chat), I figured I had nothing to lose by trying. I often ask her something about school to break the ice after class, and yesterday I finally got the opportunity to launch her a compliment. She's Latin american, so I called her accent cute (thanks to br0kenrabbit for that one) and asked her where it came from. Hence ensued a conversation with a nice smile and bye to cap it all off.

It might seem like a small amount, but considering that I was the shy awkward kid back in high school with no female friends, I think I'm going in the right direction. Baby steps :)

@korvus: Thanks for the encouragement Korvus. Obviously the wait is the toughest part, but I feel like it'll be worth it :)

@korvus: No, you're totally right. Based off what you're saying, I think I'm on the right track. I think it's just the wait that's getting to me. Like you said, I'm trying to do my own thing and I'm not out to impress anyone. I talk to whoever I want to talk, and I think it's just seeing everyone else in college together in a relationship besides me that's making me think I'm on the wrong track.

I guess the best way to think about it, is that slow and steady wins the race. I'm not out to impress anyone at the moment. Guys who want women now can do so, but maybe at 18-20 years old, we lack a bit of maturity to know what we really want. I'm just gonna hold my course, be patient, and hope for the best :) Thanks
