Who here has had a girlfriend?

I wasted my whole middle school, high school, and about first 1/3 of college being shy. It sucks, so many missed opportunities (well, not as many as I would have liked).

Don't be afraid to talk to them or ask them out, the worst that can happen is they say and in that case, fuck 'em, who cares.

Just for fun-- embarrassing story!

My sophomore year of college there was this one girl friend of mine (not girlfriend, friend who happened to be a girl) was trying to get me to come out of my shell and ask this one girl I liked out. I had had girlfriends before but still all around shy and the thought of asking a girl out terrified me.

Anyways, she was giving me tips on what girls liked and one of them was girls like it when you run your fingers through their hair and rub their head. So she told me that and I was at a party the next night and she was there sitting on a couch talking to some one.

I walk up behind her, stand awkwardly a moment not knowing what to say, and then finally I move my hand up and start rubbing her head. She stops talking to her friend, they both turn around and look at me and give me the oddest look ever.

Luckily I was at a party and just happened to be hammered so I could just pass it up as I'm a big dumb drunken animal but, yeah, awkward.

And now for the embarrassing part-- I actually asked her out later by email. God I'm a loser.

very good advice.

 

I'll tell ya, the biggest assett a guy has in seeking women is Confidence.  Women want to see it.  When I met my wife, it was an unexpected thing, so I didn't get all shy or nervous like I normally would, and badda bing badda boom man, the rest is history.
