No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I met a girl that I'm interested in and enjoys comics like I do, would something like asking her out to a comic store be dumb? I have a hard time talking to girls so not sure if this would be a dumb idea.

Ok dude... I'm going to go back and time and tell 15 year old me what to do. You can come and listen if you want.

"First off, let's not rush shit. You always rush shit, so you need to play it cool. Don't say date.. even if it's a date, don't say date. You asked two girls you liked as friends to go to see a movie you wanted, and one got mad you asked the other one first because she thought it was a date. So you gotta be cool.

"So basically say "want to go to the comic book store?" She likes comics she's going to say yes. Heck don't specify a specific time, so when she asks "When?" you know she's interested, work out a time. Even if she asks "like a date" say "what ever" with a smile, she'll think it's cute. Play it cool dude!

"Second do a little research, find some place to eat that's cool. If it goes cool at the comic store, suggest going to grab a bite. Don't choose anything too pricy, casual just two friends chilling out. If she thinks it's a date, it'll work, if not it's just a hang out. Great. Then play it by ear. She might suggest "What do you want to do?" She might just want to go home and even if she doesn't want to eat that's not the worst thing.

"Now dude, I've given you the plan. Let me tell you the other side. You're a fucking idiot, you're going to flub that, but don't freak out. If you say something stupid it's not the worst thing in the world. You're a nerd, but if she's the one for you, she'll like that about you. Just don't rush shit... You got this.

"Good luck Young Kinglink" ( Spoiler, never worked, didn't find my first girlfriend until I was 24... ehhh now married and happy so you get there eventually ). And good luck Chris, but take it easy my friend, and don't push the date aspect too hard unless she's given you signs, and I'm guessing she hasn't... yet.

Others are saying make it clear it's a date, but if you do that, it's binary. She wants to date you and says yes, or she doesn't (and that might hurt your friendship)... she probably doesn't know you well enough to date you yet otherwise you'd know for sure if this was a good idea.

Oh but to answer your question. For the right girl? A comic store date would be perfect, especially if you know she likes comics.
