Social Awkwardness
OP - November 12, 2008, 12:12 PM

Ok, I'm a shy guy. Some girls at work have shown an interest in me, flirting with me, but I don't know what to do. I'm interested in them too, they're cute girls.. but I feel inadequately prepared, like a kid playing with grown ups... Suggestions?

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

Just be yourself, you'll get more attention and respect that way.

Don't over-analyze or over-strategize as it all may blow up in your face if you do.

Your lucky, at work I have comp-sci butches.

#1: Find the One you like, find somethings that you like about her, or she likes about herself, or different from the day before, and compliment her about it.

#2: And when you talk with One, give her your full attention, girls are very flaky with this attention thing, if you ignore her and look sideways while talking with her she will immediately walk.

#3: Other girls know this too, so when you are talking with one, another One will jump in to interfere and steal the attention. So make sure which one you are concentrating on.

#4: And for godsake do not look down while talking to them and look them in the face. Else they will immediately assume you are weak/broken/staring at their boobs.

#5: Do not stare or even let your eyes hover near her boobs.

#6: Do not talk. Ask questions.

#7: Do not talk about yourself. I am sure you had a very interesting life and you will have all the time later to divulge your life to her. But every idiot that walked before you already gave her the run-down about his grade 4 English adventures.

#8: Ask her questions, her opinion, find out which TV show she likes and go watch it to talk to her about it next. Tell her I never watched this show but you were talking about it and I went to see it and I could not stop laughing (At how stupid you moron been wasting your life in front of that Tube watching that assanine, boring and childish sitcom).

#9: Do not talk or ask her about health, particularly your health. And I know you will not discuss about your own health because of rule #7.

#10: Start practicing on the Ones you do not loo/not so pretty. You might think it is cruel but she will enjoy the attention for whatever period you spend practicing. It is not cruel quite the opposite. Now pretty girls are used/addicted to attention. Pretty girls slowly die inside when a less pretty girl gets attention. They will seek to correct that attention imbalance very quickly.

Seem is the operative word kid. Like the man said, just be yourself. It's all in the body language. Let your instincts do the talking.
Years and years and, ohh, years ago, some one, I forget who, discovered that when man fancies woman his eyes flash very quickly in this order - 'eyes, tits, bottom, eyes' and if the woman is responsive it's 'eyes, bottom, eyes'. This all takes place in about 3/8 of a second.
But , in case you feel constrained to force the issue with the girlie of your choice, you must remember that it's also been demonstrated that people are very good at sussing out fake body-language.
So, take note of who, if anybody, is exciting your interest. It could be that one of them is giving you come-on signals that you, thro' lack of practice or social acumen, are missing.

No, just an old war scarred veteran of many encounters. Some won, some lost.

Just be nice and enjoy talking with them. And ask them questions and listen. Girls like that.

Look deeply into their eyes. It wont make them like you but it's a good way to avoid staring at their tits (which will definitely not make them like you).

Yes, just be yourself, if they are interested in you, there are interested in you because you were being yourself... Although two shots of Jack Ds never hurt.

I'm going out with a socially awkward guy. If you're shy, there's no harm in that, a lot of women like that. Just make it obvious you're shy and not disinterested. Then someone's bound to find you adorable and approach you.
