Yeah. I don't really understand the mindset of having sex being something you take from a woman and she somehow doesn't truly want to etc. She wants to have sex with you - there is no issue.

Just to be clear I said I would do it but I still maintain that is the incorrect response and that the smart move is to pass.

The reason I know I would is simply because I don't really care if she is lying or not. She has a reason she wants to go to a different location and if she is lying to increase the odds that I'll say yes then whatever. It doesn't matter to me if the story is true or if she is on her way to buy crack and just too lazy to walk. Whatever the story is her life isn't going that well if she is asking strangers for rides at gas stations so if I can make it better in a way that costs me almost nothing than why wouldn't I?

The ride deal seems overly cautious.

I was at a book store near closing time in St. Paul during December when a pretty big older black guy came up to me. He asked for a ride, I questioned him a bit and I agreed. Gave him a lift and he offered to blow me when I got near his destination (that really ****ty hotel on University Ave.) which I declined.

We had an interesting discussion on why boxing is better than MMA. He told me about being a Golden Gloves boxer when he was younger. I was entertained.

Moral of the story: don't be a pussy.

I can only talk out of experience, if you really have the feeling in your stomach just walk up to her and ask her out or facebook or whatever, even if you are insecure and she notice, you will still be one of the few that has ever approach her in that way being exposed. Girls love that. I did it once when I had a strong feeling, it's now my girlfriend.

I agree, to a point. I believe there is a pretty strong positive correlation between creepiness of a guy and the number of relatively unknown girls he asks out. So in theory, approaching as a normal guy may actually be a relatively rare experience for a lot of girls.

However, in saying that, girls may be conditioned to associate random asking out with creepy guys, and react accordingly. Also, anyone who needs to be told to ask out a random girl based on their reads of the situation probably doesn't have the game to pull it off without coming across as creepy/nervous, so it is best to just not to avoid further confirming the stereotype (justly or injustly) that generally it's creepy guys who do this with a high frequency.

I felt like **** after for assuming he was a begger but he was French and his ability to communicate with me was greatly hindered by that.

Many years ago the clutch on my car burnt out and luckily it was at a roadside rest / food / gas stop thing. I was in a super rush so having a car come get me would have taken too long so I just asked a middle age guy and he said yes even though it was ~100km to my destination. The strange part is I get in the SUV and it is guy I asked, wife, and two young kids. I have no idea why you'd risk giving a stranger a ride if you had your family with you.
Would have thought you would have known enough french to get by because of your connections with montreal henry. I know the french they speak their is different from France but even still.

It's very easy to get by in Montreal without speaking french.

If you are talking to a girl and she is sitting next to you and sometimes she moves her leg and touches yours or positions her leg in a way that your leg and hers are touching, does she ever not do that on purpose considering there is enough space for her not to?

If she does it accidentally, she'd probably move it away pretty quickly. If her leg is touching yours for an extended time, it's always a good sign.

Yeah, usually a good sign.
Unless she is a natural flirt.
Some girls are just touchy feely and call all men sweetie.
Then,who knows.
