    Just talk. I end up talking about something factual if all else fails. I am just used to talking I guess even though I am an introvert, and a enjoy being hermit like.


    How can you "just talk" if you are an introvert? As an introvert I need to get past my awkwardness and shyness to feel comfortable.

    ^ Abood posted about that a while back, showing that introversion does not necessarily = shyness. You can overcome shyness and still remain introverted. They’re not the same thing.

    Yep.  I hate the false compliments that can only be real if you know someone for a certain amount of time.

    So you talk to everyone then? Or else talk to no–one? If you can’t gauge people from how they act, and then go to them to get to know them better, all you have to go on are looks. And then you get accused of being shallow… and then avoided for having the wrong shoes, or trousers with turn–ups, or other eccentricities of this sort.

    A man who will take me on a picnic, cook me a meal, take me for walks in surprising and beautiful places.  Take me to FREE museums.  Well that's sweet to me.

    Of course if he is just a cheap skate who penny pinches everything, then I'm going to bounce off too.

    It's all well and good being understanding, but every now and again I would want to be showered with something more special than all of the freebies (anyone tempted to make a sperm joke now...refrain refrain lol ), much as I would do the same.

    If you go up and manage to pluck up the courage to say hi, don't panic at that point and walk off because words have now escaped your head. If you give in to the flight instinct you will have failed.  

    There will be no point in returning to try again.


    I thought this only happens in movies,lol.

    Because she’s doing fun stuff and having a good time. Perhaps she wears interesting clothes and doesn’t dress like all the other idiots you see freezing their arse off outside? Etc.

    Well, there ya go. You've already got three points of conversation. 1) Whatever 'fun stuff' she's doing. 2) Her clothing. If she's wearing 'interesting' clothes, she probably makes an effort to style herself or express herself and might like that it's not going unnoticed. 3) The freezing cold.

    Yeah, pardon me. Its more like, I prefer to keep it that way. There is a certain kind of 'shyness' though. A barrier of uncertainty and nervousness. Just like he said

    one of my biggest problems is that i can't stick around with one person. i always have this fear that they're trying to get rid of me. one time a bunch of girls even came up to me, said "you're beautiful" and grabbed my hands to dance, but i for some reason decided to walk away. i have no idea what was going through my head at the time...

    Sod off and stop making it sound so easy! Tongue

    I suppose when the emotions enter into it, and the fear, it makes it seem less clear–cut.

    No, you're viewing it wrong I think.

    If you have just met me in a club, and tell me I seem fun, interesting, intelligent etc, and its all amongst your first lines before you have even really had enough time talking to me to honestly suss that about me, then you are lying.  Or I will believe you are lying and inside I will roll my eyes and think ugh.

    I mean to me its kind of similar to being a young moroccan girl with a birtish passport.  The men over there would come and ask for my hand in marriage.  My dad would make me sit and talk to the guy.  One question I always used to ask was....Why do you want to marry me?  and these guys would all reply, because I love you. 

    Now you see, I had never met them, never hung out with them, never anything.  But they would use this Love line.  Really they loved my passport.

    In the club its similar.

    In truth you came over bcause you were attracted to me.  Not my mind, my wit, my 'intelligence', but something else more simple than all of that.

    Which is why I would say just come over, say Hi, introduce yourself and then ask my name.  and then talk to me.

    And then if after talking with me for the night.  (not 5-10 mins in the smoking section) you happen to think those things, then its safe to say so and ask for a fb swap, or number.

    You might not be lying from your perspective.  Her clothes seem quirky so you think she is interesting, but from our perspective it just seems like a line.

    "Hi"

    "Hello"

    "Can we hang out sometime"

    Either "yeah" or "no"

    If its yeah, share a phone number and fix a time"

    If its "No", you move on, simple as that. It doesnt take a rocket science to do that but then im a straight forward person.

    Ishina: That whole regret thing doesn’t work with me. It’s always the same afterwards. Whole life is built on regrets and impotent rage at myself.

    Berbs: That’s why I actually said this, with highlighting added to stress the important point
    “You seem fun, interesting and attractive. I’d like to get to know you better to see if we’re compatible.” You can’t ACTUALLY say that though.

    I suppose it’s best actually talking to them instead of straightaway asking if you can hang out together. That sequence of events skips over a major part of things. Unless Naija is supremely good–looking or something, in which case say no more!

    You misunderstand me. I wasn't trying to make you feel shitty. I was asking a genuine question. I was going somewhere with it.

    So, imagine if you had actually gone up to them all and spoken to each one of them and made a complete fool out of yourself each time. It would get easier every time. Right? By now, you'd be a Flirt-fu master. A true Playa.

    Get in there. Get playing the game. Even if you completely crash and burn 99% of times, isn't 1% worth it? It's better than going home alone and crying yourself to sleep all the days of your life, waiting for some hotty to fall into your lap.

    NO. That’s fine thinking that, but my brain is not right. I suffer from clinical depression, and it’s built a lifetime of negative thinking cycles. Rejection after rejection makes me curl up inside and die, not think that it’d be worth it if things finally do pay off.

    I suppose I need CBT or something. Or a bolt shell to the brain.

    You cant get any girl to fall on your lap and why do you have to let it bother you to the extent of changing moves that will lead you to another fruitless search which at the end it will make you feel like  shit
