Eh....any time my guys I know asked me if I had any single friends, it came off real tacky to me.

But that's just me.

But you do what you do.

I kind of feel the same way. It sounds a little corny to me.

OP, why don't you just ask her out? You seem to really like her, aside from the fact that she's ''Too old'' for you. I'm wondering how old she is? I'm hoping she's at least old enough to be your mom, if her age is really a deterrent.

1.) Are you new in town?

2.) What's your end game? For her to volunteer herself or to actually connect you with some single women?

3.) Don't say "girls". Say "women".

Why would you ask her if she knows any single girls, just because you like her accent? Are you hoping she's onto a secret stash of French-accented girls?




Well, you have to admit, long-time members, as far as OP's go, .....it's different. Not quite the same-old, same-old. FWIW.

No, it's not a good idea. It makes you look like a putz. You ask her out directly. Go for it!

"My friend likes you."

Remember that one?

OP, just say, "Listen you're way too old for me but I need help finding your young, attractive friends."

That should do it!

No, that is harassment. Do not approach, talk to, or even look at females or you will be put on the news.

lol OK, it was worth reviving this thread for that comment.

I guess this is part of the foreigners-with-accents cachet. Some of the guys posting here in the past have said they want women who are well-travelled, speak foreign languages, and can discuss politics and foreign affairs. I've never understood why they didn't meet any of the many dozens of women who fit that bill in undergrad programs, not to mention grad school. I knew quite a few women like that as an undergrad, and none of them were getting any male attention. I guess they didn't sound exotic enough? Or the guys were too busy partying and getting drunk to find the women they now say they wish they could meet? I guess it's cool to be French, if you're female? But the guys don't go after the Russian-American girls, either. You'd think it would be cool to be Russian, but no, --only if your face is in an internet catalog based overseas.
