Mr. Ranger has started 158 threads, some of which he contributed to after they were begun, and the bulk of them are in General Non-Automotive.

There are several threads asking for friend/relationship advice. He owns a Pontiac Sunfire and is in college taking Psychology classes.

Maybe we're the research material!


My marginal advice: Just say "Hi, wanna go have coffee?" or "Wanna go see Flags of our Fathers?".

You have hit the nail on the head or the head of the nail whichever way you want to look at it.

That would be me, and I've got another great idea.

Maybe "Wanna go see Brokeback Mountain" is more in line...

ranger rules: I'm not trying to offend you or insenuate anything...just having a little fun at your expence. I'm truely sorry if you are offended.

Sheesh, we're all jumping to conclusions guys.

I have some, perhaps, useful advice.

Mr. rangerrules, you are obviously interested in Ford Trucks. Even if you do not own one. I mean, otherwise, why post anything here?

And I see that you are from Indiana.

My suggestion is joining and becoming active on the Indiana chapter forum. I would imagine you will meet people who live in your proximity and you might even have the opportunity to attend a gtg. I used to be a real outgoing person in high school, and then in college for a while, but I found that most of the friendships I had developed were very superficial. My best friends have turned out to be people I would not have guessed would become my best friends.

As for the guy in class, it appears you've got a feeling he's someone you'd like to spend more time with, on a friendship basis. But rejection hurts. Whether it's the guy you work with who turns down your invite to go fishing on Saturday, or if it's that gal you finally got the courage up to ask out and she tells you to take a hike. Sooooo, at the end of a really long post, like others have said, take it easy. Ask about coffee or donuts, or coffee and donuts. Don't think the worst if he says he can't, just kind of wing it. And whether you and he become pals or not, check out the Indiana chapter.

No you didn't. I just didn't want the guy to think I was being serous, I wanted to let him know it was all in good fun.

If you don't mind your own business I'll tell you exactly what I think of you, and I'll say exactly what I mean...and there won't be any apologies or retractions. So don't mess with me.

Just kiddin.
Me too.

Dennis, I think that 600 of your 39000 posts were to Ranger Rules threads. You need to give him better advice. Just Kiddin.

What are we doing here? We are sick, toadly sick. If we keep this up, the next thing we will want to do is beat the wife, the kids, the dogs and then wash the truck in that order.
