Start with some safe compliments, day something nice like "your my favorite patron " and something that refers to her looks. Observe her reactions, ask her out if she's reacting well. after your first date you are allowed to add more upfront compliments about her looks like calling her sexy. slowly introduce erotic subtext to your conversations here and there. And that's it. I think that flirting is all about the subtext, at first more subtle, then not so subtle, but still not anything too "aggressive".

My comment on Judaism, Christianity and other religions from the family of "10 Commandments". Isn't the first commandment "Thou shalt have no other gods before me", in a way admitting that there are other gods?

It's the last day in my current job and tomorrow I'm starting a new one ^^ And, as a result, my income should increase by almost 50% ^^

Probably sub count means "submissions count", so they have not enough submission for reviews or too many. Mod issue, suggests there is an issue with moderation. I don't know who's running Reading Excuses, but maybe he/she's missing in action?

Ha! I like your idea, I'll think about the username, but I'll definitely put on Santa's hat

Nobody will expect Ookla the Spanish Inquisitor?

Get her some flowers, no matter why she stormed off, flowers shouldn't hurt... I hope you'll figure it out together soon!

So Poland is a thing now, huh?

My story is super simple. I got my first computer when I was around 10 years old. I liked it and thought: Hey, I wanna work with computers when I grow up. When I got some real computer science classes in high school I thought: Yeah, that's what I wanna do. I more or less aced my final exams and went to University to study Computer Science. Still thinking: Yeah, that's what I wanna do in my life. Now I'm working as a programmer and I know I made a good choice. I know that doesn't help you at all, but here's my story. I hope you'll find inspiration for you soon! Try to make a living of something that gives you satisfaction.

I feel like I'm late for the party, but better late than never

You sure that's kb/s and not mb/s? 300kb/s is slower than my internet from 10 years ago...

@Shardbearer that's interesting and it would be really cool to have your theory confirmed!

I wouldn't say he's autistic, he just really isn't that good around people and prefers animals. He's shy and adorkable, but if he wants too, he's perfectly capable of social interactions. However, I have to confess that I don't know that much about autism and what are the less obvious symptoms. I agree that putting Harry in Dursleys home was a risky, stupid and cruel move. However, he had far better life than Credence and although Dursleys hated magic, they did they best to convince Harry that magic doesn't exist, not make him hate it. That's why Harry didn't suspect he has any kind of powers and as a result didn't try to suppress them like Credence did. He did grow up in an abusive environment, but it didn't really interfere with his random feats of magic. There was also Ms. Figg keeping eye on him and she would probably raise an alarm if something wrong started to happen. Arianna Dumbledore however did try to suppress her magic and I think that she might have been an Obscurial.

I've seen Dr. Strange yesterday and I was disappointed. I've heard a lot of good stuff about this movie, but after the "wow effect" faded out (the special effects were incredible) the story was just another remix of Iron Man/Batman/Spider-Man/Any other super hero getting his/hers powers. I think I've seen too much origin stories throughout the last couple of years to be pleased with another one. The only thing that differs them is the power set :/ After all, I don't consider my money wasted, but I was expecting more after all the positive reviews I've seen.

And remember that "obvious for boys" is soooo much different than "obvious for girls"

I don't agree that having socializing issues is disqualifying as boyfriend material. not everyone has to like phones or have the guts to ask girl out in person.

Thanks I wish there will be some director's cut version released on DVD and Blue-Ray, where it will be highlighted a bit more. Next time I see the movie I'll watch the guards even more carefully.

I've recently seen some reviews of Fantastic Beasts on the Internet and I decided to write a bit more about why I liked the movie and why I disagree with some things that are criticized the most. First, there are some that say that the movie lacks character development or character growth. And actually I agree, that the character of Newt doesn't change throughout the movie. But that's not a bad thing! We meet a guy, who has had more adventures (and possibly life threatening situations) than Harry Potter after his 8 movies. Newt is already a grown up guy, with lots of knowledge, lots of experience, so I really don't see any need for him to "grow". I think that his shy nature and awkwardness makes us think of him as someone who's not that experienced, as someone who could just graduated Hogwart. We got used to seeing Harry change in his movies, but he was a kid/teenager, with lots to learn. In this movie, Newt just has another adventure. I really don't see why and how should he change in those 48 hours that were portrayed in the movie. Another thing I see being pointed out is weak romance. I think Hollywood made everyone expect some kissing and "I love you"s in a movie as a sign of romance, and here we have one kiss and no love declarations. I don't know what people expect to happen in romance department when the see a story that's practically enclosed in 48 hours. Newt and Tina got to know and like each other and that's pretty much it. They may go on a date the next time they see each other and that's exactly what I'd expect! Jacob and Queenie got to kiss, but a) probably only because Jacob wouldn't remember it anyway, b ) Quennie as a legimancer got to know Jacob very well even without talking to him much and c) Jacob had a crush on Queenie and that's understandable. I honestly don't know what those reviewers were expecting :/ Sharing an adventure like that might bring people close together, but come on... the Newt and Tina ending was as realistic as it can be. And the last thing is the scene where Graves sentences Newt and Tina to death. Everyone loses their minds about how that's not possible in any legal system to sentence someone to death without a trial etc. etc.... But as we all know, Graves = Grindewald. And what else do we know? At this point in the movie he doesn't really care about keeping his cover. Now, did anyone else noticed how the guards behaved in that scene? They were absentmindedly smiling. They were content with what's going on, they were fine that a girl they knew just got sentenced to death without a trial. They without hesitation proceed to execute their orders. I don't know what you think, but it smells like an Imperius curse to me. Grindewald didn't use any existing law to sentence them to death. He just was alone with Newt and Tina, had some guards enslaved and saw Newt as a threat (Dumbledore saw something in him after all). I was shocked at first too, about how easily he sent them to die, but now that I think about it, those smiles on the guards faces wouldn't be there if it weren't for Imperius. That's all for now. I enjoyed the movie and I refuse to consider it inferior to the other HP movies!

Ha, I'm a great helper! Just invoking my name helps you solve the problem

Yup, actual pug. The scene is short, but it's there

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles I guessed you've been cursed with the most plesant apparition, so patrons subconsciously choose you over the other staff members. my sympathies.

I've seen the movie yesterday and very much enjoyed it The characters were great, the beasts were great, CGI was first class and there was only one thing that was bad IMO. The end scene where this giant bird helps wipe out the memories of the whole city... that is the most deus ex machina moment I've ever seen! Anyway, this little guy is the star of this movie:
