Hey, whaddya mean joking? That method has worked like a charm on me several times.
No seriously, Goat, if she asked you what you were doing for the weekend and said she had no plans, that's a window of opportunity. Take it! You should ask her to do something with you. It doesn't mean she'll say yes, but a no isn't the end of the world either. It's embarrassing (believe me, been there done that) but a couple of cool people can move past that pretty well.
Truth is, there's no hard and fast rule that someone likes you. Not even a tongue down the throat is a sure-fire sign these days.
Good luck!

I had a strange dream last night about cold feet. I should try giving up meat more often.

Pretty much the same thing, if you scare them the odds of being reported are high. Unless you don't let them escape from your basement, then they can't report you.

Taking this advice would actually present me with an interesting physical challenge. I know where she lives because we live in the same building, but considering how many floors up she is, even with my considerable strength, throwing a brick through her window would be quite difficult. I might have to improvise to find a method to get a brick through her window.

Read my username. I'm literally on freaking fire. Therefore I am just about the antithesis of cool. In short, hot. And it would be had a window of opportunity in the past tense, we were talking about last weekend.
We did have another conversation yesterday, unusually long for a conversation where I am a participant. At the very least I'm going to assume that I'm not scaring her off.

Even if you had the strength and good hand-to-eye coordination, it could be hard to hit anything particular at that distance.

That could work. And if it doesn't, tie the brick to the end of a stilt and shove it through the window.

.Yeah, I caught that part, about it being last weekend, but you've still been presented with a window. No bricks necessary.
Ok, so you mean the window is still there? And the window is trying again on another on a weekend?

I don't believe I specified the distance.

I'm not sure I could keep balance, let alone mount stilts with the necessary height. And should I fall it would almost certainly prove fatal. I don't suppose anyone has a helicopter or a fair sized trebuchet they could lend me?

Yes, in fact it might make it even less awkward because she opened the window for you. Next time a weekend rolls around you can ask her if she's got any exciting plans this time.

Would duct tape and a paper clip do?
There is no mechanical problem and only very few social and philosophical problems that can not be solved through sufficient application of duct tape.
Agreed. Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver.
