Cherry Bomb: "Green Light Go"

How do you know if you’re free to make a move on a girl? The ladies of Cherry Bomb discuss the signals to watch out for if a girl is giving you "the green light," and how to tell if it's just coffee or something more. The girls share stories of misunderstood first dates and friends that made a move.

And in this week’s question, what to do when you want to meet your girlfriend’s family but you’re not invited.

Yay, it's up! :-)

Can't wait to watch this! I am soon finishing up at work, and will rush home to watch :D

Oooh lookeeee I might be first to post

WOW...very rarely am I first with anything...KEWL!

I have NOT been able to figure out WHY I am a chick magnet(no other real way to describe better) for straight and bi-curious girls...

Right now I am in a situation with this girl that I met. I lOVE to dance...will even dance by myself...I have several friends who are musicians, and enjoy going to see them perform, giving them my love and support and will dance, no matter what, or venue. This is how I met this girl. On one wall there was a mirror which I was oblivious to, and this girl got a kick out me watching her rear end as she danced. We "clicked", in that we both felt like we're life long friends...just about every other week, I'd see her at the same venues as one of my musician friends...we would dance. On the first night we met we exchanged email addresses and have emailed often in between get togethers...she's in the process of getting a divorce from her husband(man), and admitted to be as being bi-curious as that she has 'experimented' with other girls(IMHO, personally if ya had sex with more than two...you are no longer experimenting...)Anyhooo...to make long story a little shorter...she had invited me over, and after two beers, insisted I stay the night and not be drinking and driving...after long night of intense heart to heart, crash course into all things about her...we had incredible sex...I honestly don't think she had orgasmed as intensely with any male lover as she had with me that night...NOW she is major league back peddling...has me totally confused...so now WTF?! Has anyone else encountered anything like this?

 

Oh well, looks like I'm not first...

Great vlog ladies...I loved it...and great to hear that I'm not the only one getting signals mixed..."green light, GO!" should be a code phrase so say, let's get it on!... lol...

i want an athlete!'s picture

if they're hot, GO

when in doubt? just go for it

if they're hot? GO

if you don't know? just DO it

basically just always try. haha awesome strategy.

gotta say though..

It makes me a little mad that when I say I play softball, people are automatically like oh so everyone else on your team must be gay too and that is so not the case. They are the straightest straight people I have ever known. So please don't just base your interest if shes like oh i do play softball...make sure you check out other signs...I just wanna get rid of that stupid stereotype
maggieyeahis's picture

So True

I play sports and get the same response, and nobody thinks your telling the truth when you say the majority of them are straight. So if a girl is all I play sports I do not think gay b/c plenty of straight girls love sports. Look at Gina Carano MMA fighter amazing, played b-ball in HS and straight.

So I'm sitting here minding

So I'm sitting here minding my own business surfing and some guy sits down across from me. He stares and I look away,right? A few minutes later he says" ma'am can I ask you something?" I said sure. He says," are you single" and I say yes and he says "I just wanted to left you know I find you very attractive". I said ,"what?" and he repeats himself.I say"Oh,thanks", and chuckled a little. He then proceeds to ask if he can call me sometime(lol)

All of this in less than five minutes after he sits down.Why aren't gay women  as confident and fast? 

*I wonder who else he will ask while I sit here listening.hehe

I'm guessing you haven't meet the right gay girls...

because i've had that happen lol.

WAYYY before I was out (or even completely knew I liked women), I had a girl in my class move to the desk in front of my me while i was working on the packets we had to complete. I was listening to my iPod, mostly because I hated that class and had nobody to talk to. Anywho, here's MY story:

Her: Hi.

Me: (listening to music) Oh....what?

Her: Hi, I'm Jess.

Me: Hi Jess............i'm Lauren.

Her: That's a pretty name. You know you're really pretty too.

Me: Oh......thanks....you I guess. Nice meeting you. (NERVOUSLY PUTS EARPHONE BACK ON)

WTF?!! I know, i can't believe i did that, because this girl was actually pretty cute. Hm, maybe it's because her little sister was hotter =D

Gay Light. Go!

The easiest way to pick up women, I've found, especially if you're straight-appearing,is to let it be known that you're gay/bisexual.  Once that's out of the way, 9 times out 10 if they are interested, the innuendo-laden conversations and the prolonged touches are going to start fairly quickly.

We can learn alot from our gay brethren, because gay men have the eye contact game on lock. So much can be said with our eyes, it's amazing. Prolonged eye contact followed by a smile is my "Gay Light! Go!". 

 

Tatum's picture

Funny

"Gay light, go"....Love it:)
Charlie_Brown's picture

Eye contact

 Yea that's a trick I need to work on.... I just don't like staring or being stared at which kinda sends the whole thing down the tubes

 

I really liked this episode btw!  Great jobs ladies

What The Heck You Lookin' At?!

There is a vast difference between coy/flirtatious glances and staring. Flirtatious glances will get you laid, staring will get you beat up. I totally understand why you wouldn't like staring. Honestly, from my own experience and watching my expert male friends, the whole exchange takes 20 secs tops. It goes as follows, you scope someone you find attractive. They feel your eyes on them and look in your direction. You smile (note:if your grill is....busted, this may not be your thing) and they a) smile back, Gay Light, GO! or b) quickly divert their eyes and never look in your direction again. In case of B, please keep it moving. You don't want to be "That Girl". LOL.

Insidelookingout's picture

great episode....

You ladies got me thinking about different ways that i can show interest when i see someone i like. I just hope i don't punk out when the time comes...
huzzahbravo's picture

I always want these shows

I always want these shows to be longer. A half hour format would be amazing.

In the meantime, you're all such teases. ;)

Paperback-Writer's picture

I agree. Longer episodes!!!

I agree. Longer episodes!!!

Haha, lol, Nikki does look like a player =P I love how Gloria mentions it about every episode. I love Gloria =)

Nikki is hot though. If only I was ten years older.

Glindared's picture

LOL I LOVE Nikki

Just how old is she...not that age is a factor...I would so go for a girl like her, in fact I would love to have Nikki for  girlfirend!...too bad she lives out west while I live in the east...

First time

This is the first time I've actually watched Cherry Bomb and I think it's so great. I'll definitely keep watching more. Thanks for the awesome discussion! :)
Frank-ay's picture

Nike doesn't have anything on you all!

Just do it!  Short, simple, and good advice.  The one thing I have learned in my life is you have to go after what you want.  The worst thing that happens is they say no.  At least you don't wonder what could have been!

Great conversation!  Keep it up! 

miracle's picture

I Ahhh

I tend to flirt and then as soon as someone flirts back I get scared and stop because I am afraid to find out what there sexuality is and if they are just messing with my head especially if they get touchy-feely and i start to avoid and always end up regretting it later...WHY?

So yeah I tend to skrew up this whole of Green Light Go

karolina's picture

date that never was

and I thought I might be the only person on a planet having problems with realizing I'm on a date. like the time when I went out with a girl, had some beers, something to eat, nice conversation and then she insists on paying for everything while smiling at me sheepishly... ;p

great vlog:) I've watched all the episodes so far. what amuses me the most is how close to my own experiences yours are (and I'm living in central europe ;)

funnybone's picture

How do you get to the green light go?

My question is how do you get to the Green light Go?  I try to give people the vibe that I'm gay but it is not working.  People assume but no one ever reacts or flirt to give me an idea.  I'm not really ready to verbally express that I am gay to everyone.  So, someone please give me some ideas on how to bring love into my life.

funnybone's picture

Sexy

Is it me or is Nikki getting sexier each episode?
Paperback-Writer's picture

Nope, you are completely

Nope, you are completely corret =) and funnier.

This was the best one so far. i laughed tons of times, and most of the time with these vlogs on Afterellen, i just enjoy watching. I don't laugh usually.

Keep up the good work!

Glindared's picture

I agree

She IS getting sexier with every episode...I just thought I was becoming more attracted to her...looks like i am not alone...
Anonymous's picture

Mara's picture

Daft...

Great episode. Thanks.

Tatum's story about waiting for the other person the make the first move cracked me up. Been there, done that. More times than one. Heh...

Most of the stories you shared sound very familiar anyways *LOL!*

Green Light - GO!

I tend to attract straight, older MARRIED women for some reason.  I don't know what it is but it's always the same thing. I'm not even sure what that says about me...

Oh well.  Excellent episode, ladies.  I can't wait for next week's installment.  

Brutal_Romance's picture

ah

went on too many 1st dates that didnt seem like dates but turned out to be dates anyways, i just know that when the conversation ventures to talking about a particular ex, then im the only one with the dellusion. :D

 

great episode as usual, just wish it was longer.

trisquel's picture

Nikki...

Funnybone, yes, Nikki is getting sexier with each episode....(we are just orbiting towards her, really - she's v.attractive to begin with!!).

Fun espisode, girls. Funny antecdotes and glad I'm not the only one wondering whether it's a date or not...!!

And yes, Tatum's strategy is virtually fool-proof!!!ha haha! You got guts, girl! Guess that's the British way....!!

Dalila

Okay I am just going to go ahead and say it, Dalila cleavage was extremely distracting. I wasn't actually paying attention to what was being said. I am going to watch it again.
Alex's picture

+1

I completely agree!
Glindared's picture

YES ABSOLUTELY!

At one point i could see the areola of her right breast before they caught it and apparently "fixed" it...i agree very distracting!
zephyr's picture

She would be my type

I love all kinds of women, but Dalila is absolutely my type.  This is my first time watching the show, and I was only able to half pay attention to what was being said.  She is beautiful...sigh!
mwhite10's picture

me too

i did it too but i wasn't going to say anything. i felt like such a perv staring!!!
Lunakiss's picture

One of My Favs Discussion So Far

Love this discussion. Thanks for bringing up some tips/pointers on attracting womyn. I'm also one to attract straight beautiful girls, but mainly the flirty types. I also attract the closeted types. Hmm. I don't know if i'ts a good thing or bad one.

I concur,Nikki is getting sexier.

funnybone's picture

You said it first ForZandra

Dalila's cleavage is very distracting.  In a very good way.  I'm sitting here laughing to myself not to disturb others.  I try not to be the little pervert but I look at her twins before I look at her face half the time.

Glindared's picture

Can't wait

For Nikki to have a 'sexy' outfit!
lifeisdandy's picture

hmm

I watch for tatum personally and glorai is hilarious!! I cant wait for her to talk cuz i know itll be funny.Tatum, wanna make out?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "Hm i think ill squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out."

Hank's picture

great ep!

am I the only person who's repeatedly distracted by Dalilah's boobs?

this was a great ep! (and i'm glad the show isn't 30 minutes...I don't have the attention span for that. lol)

The 'Green Light Go' concept.. i never caught on to that lol. Every time I get a green light, she turns out to be straight or in denial or wierd.

Oh and the 'mosturizer on the back' thing..one time I had three roommates, all of whom were decent-to-cute, adn they were all 'ooh come to the pool with us at these dudes apartment' so we went. When we got there, 2 of them asked me to put suntan lotion on their backs. I mean, they all knew I was gay, but they didn't ask the guys there to do it, and thye didn't ask each other, they asked me to do it. I mean, I don't wanna be all "they wanted me to feel them up" but if I was straight, and there were 2 girls and 4 dudes who could put lotion on my back, I wouldn't be asking the lesbian.

and LMAO@ 'I think this is a date!!'

 

 

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

x.Lorna.x's picture

But sometimes...

You get the green light, and then she's straight, and that guy across the room thinks it's great that the girl he thinks is hot has just kissed another girl. Gutted.

I find the best way is just to be open and make it clear.
