>be me, OP of >>>/tv/217567980>seeing LOTR: TT again on a whim>someone else selected my usual dead-center seat so I select a seat two to the left>get there and it is once again a pretty woman seeing it alone>she laughs at all of the same parts I laugh at, after I do>4 hours later, credits are rolling, muster up the courage to strike up conversation>"Have you seen this in the theater before?">she replies that she's seen it on TV in slightly garbled English with what seems like a thick French Canadian accent>"Oh, me too. I saw the first one in theaters as a kid and I really loved it, but this is the first time I've seen this one in theaters.">she says something back in broken English about how she likes the music (the speakers were cranked up to 11 in this auditorium for some reason, my ears still hurt)>"Yeah, and I think the extended scenes really add a lot to this one.">she agrees, mumbles something enthusiastically but I can't understand her, pauses, and then repeats that she likes the music>"Same, and Into the West at the end of ROTK is my favorite track. Are you seeing ROTK?">she says yes probably tomorrow>"Oh, ok--">she then asks if it's playing this weekend and says she's seeing it this weekend since she likes to space it out instead of seeing them back to back>"I don't know, it's been showing for a couple of weeks now and I think they were originally only supposed to run two weeks in December">she echoes my statement and asks again about the coming weekend, I get confused because of her accent and the repetition, answer her again that I'm not sure>slightly awkward pause and she says "okay!" and gets up and turns to leave>I say "okay, have a nice night" as she walks offDid she want me to ask her out, or did I trap this poor woman into a conversation she didn't want to have?
>be me>reply to your thread with my own bookshop anecdote/blogpost>wonder why the thread lasted a whole fucking weekgo see films to watch the films. sounds more like pleasant/awkward conversation than the start of anything.
>>83841293>go see films to watch the films. sounds more like pleasant/awkward conversation than the start of anything.I did, TT is fucking great, having the speakers up loud and clear was fantastic. I loved it. The only other people in the theater were all solo, too, which is also comfy as heck.

I wish I was like you getting invited places by women, anon
>>83841498>I wish I was like you getting invited places by women, anonit's mundane but it did feel like a 'this doesn't happen IRL' situation. damn right do i wonder 'what if?' years later (but yeah, plays suck.)go join a D&D group or something? acquire bookish nerd gf.
>>83841550>go join a D&D group or something? acquire bookish nerd gf.I feel like I'm too old for that and the only one around here is actually just a paid event at a local theater.
