monkeygirl Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 She likes you, obviously. The real problem is this: when she goofs around and you goof back you're just encouraging her. She thinks it's ok to goof around (plus she thinks she's getting you to relax around her ), and she probably thinks you return her feelings. If finding another partner first doesn't work (I know how it can be...everyone has their favorite partner that they rush off to and you end up getting stuck with her again), try this: when she starts goofing around, stand there stone-faced. You don't have to be mean or scowling, but don't give in to her girly giggles. Think about your training, man! If she asks you why you're being "no fun", just tell her that you have her training in mind, or something like that. She'll blush and think you care, but it might actually get her to act serious...even cause her to want to improve herself! Yes, I know I'm devious...but honestly, I can't stand those kinds of girls.

Tal Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 there is a girl in my karate class exactly like that. i just don't play along with her. when she acts stupid i just look at her really seriously and she realises that i don't find it funny. shotokan karate nidanjujitsu shodankendo shodan

mikS Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I got just one question.........is she good looking (the girl in your karate class, that is)?
Bdaze Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 i have a slightly diferent "girl" problem for the last 2 classes i got stuck working with this woman whos reasonably new at the class. unfortunetly, she's in her late 40's-50's and has extremely bad knees this is a huge problem for me bacause i can't practice any techniques on her for fear of accidentally hurting her. This is extremely annoying, i dont have a problem with elderly people or people with physical disabilities doing martial arts, but im also not paying 60 bucks a month to go to class and learn nothing. i think next time ill just get there early and pick a partner i really want to work with.

Warp Spider Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Is she hot? If so, then don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If not, you could say something extremely rude so she won't want to be your partner either, like "Hot damn, you gotta license to be so ugly??" Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God!
