I just want to know everyone's opinion on something.

There's a guy that I really like. (If you've read some of my other posts then you will know about him.) I'm thinking of burning a CD for him with some of my favorite songs on it. Does anyone think this is too tacky, too obvious (too obvious meaning that if I did this he would probably get the idea that I like him) or too immature? :confused: Any feedback on this would greatly be appreciated. Thanks! :p

Speaking as a male who went 0-for-4 at the plate in high school (0-for-6 if you count two who sorta rejected me twice) ..... I wouldn't do something that obvious and risky all at once.

maybe offer to do so if you are talking to him about music...but i wouldn't just "straight out" give him the cd without warning

you might also want to check to see if he has the same interest in the type of music you listen to

I see nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, I used to do the same thing years ago. The only kicker is that I made sure they liked the same music I did.

I didn't burn a CD though, I recorded tapes.

Nothing wrong with that. I don't find it tacky in the least. In fact, I think its kind of flattering for someone to be interested in you enough to go out of their way to collect songs and give to you.

Just don't go overboard. You don't want to invest a lot of time into this and find out hes not interested.

Take it slow and easy and don't go in over your head until you know how he feels about you. If you are unsure, just ask! Theres no harm in going straight up to him and asking. Sure it might take courage, but it gets easier when you get older.

Someone special to me burnt a cd for me. I liked it and I will cherrish it forever.
I say it is not immature it is all in good fun why not? :D

I burned few for my mother and aunt, they thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. :D And I've offered to do it for a friend, and he's offered to me (before I got my burner) and we didn't take it as tacky or anything. :p

If some guy burned me a CD (especially a CD with good music on it :D ) I would love that! I would go for it if I were you...make sure you have a good idea of what music he likes before you do it though. Definitely not immature! :)

This friend of mine and my sis burns cds for her all the time. She loves them, but he makes it a point to put music she likes. Try to find out his favorite songs and go from there.

*makes list of all Bon Jovi and Skid Row songs* :D


lol that reminds me of what cousin used to call me, "Don Bon Jovi". :goofy:

I realize from reading your other post that this is a moot point in this particular instance now, *Snowflake*, but I'll just answer for future reference.

I think it's incredibly sweet to make a mixed CD or tape for someone you care about. I only heard about this phenomenon (and to me it was, after not doing it in high school!) recently, and let me say that I'd be thrilled if someone ever did something so thoughtful for me. :rolleyes:

I do think someone may get the idea that you like them from this sort of thing, but I also have reason to believe that friends do this sort of thing for each other, too. Or so I've heard... ;) If it's for a "friend", though, you might want to watch how many romantic songs you include! :lol:

And I don't necessarily think it has to be music that's all suited to the other person's taste, either. Being exposed to someone else's tastes is a good way to get to know them. You may even find you have more in common than you think.

Regardless of whether or not the relationship works out, these tapes or CDs are sure to become treasured reminders of someone very special.
