Is one of them a man from your "bi-curious" youth?
One of them has a questionable mustache, but sadly no twins.

Well, given your good humor, she's likely to be young. Time may yet be against you .....

Its all about confidence. I am not an ugly guy, I'm talented musically, athletically, and am pretty smart, but for the longest time I had a really hard time talking to women. Despite all of my strong points, I just didn't have the balls to go up and start conversations with strangers about random ***. Its a hard thing to do and to get over because of fears of rejection, embarrassment, and going outside your comfort zone.
My advice to all you guys out there having issues talking to women, is get over yourselves. Life is too short to worry about the what if's. Here's a what if for you. What if you don't ever grow a set to talk to your potential soul mate, she never meets you, falls in love with some *** hole, and you never find anyone. It sucks, and is a shitty scenario, but when it comes down to it, if you are afraid of being alone, and failing in love, that is the most likely thing to happen to you.

I hate that, how it's so hard to go up and just talk to someone.. I feel like were so afraid of rejection that we just don't even open ourselves up to the possibility.

I'm the same way, Im way too frightened to just walk up to a guy and strike a conversation. Or really anybody.. rejection is a scary thing.

It's why I've always found relationships online. You dont have to be afraid of the same things because you're not INSTANTLY being judged for something other than what you're saying, which is refreshing for someone like me that isn't really beautiful or talented.

Unless you count volunteering, reading, overachieving, choir singing as talent. XD

So I agree, it all has to do with confidence. :) At least to start out.

You are correct, but I am not sure you are extending empathy further beyond your own experiences. ^^ It's not an attack on you, just saying it's not necessarily as easy as it seems.

No offense taken.

I do see where the guy who went to an all-boys' Catholic school (sorry, his name escapes me at the moment) has been socially handicapped because of not being able to immerse himself in the situations that most teenagers go through, but I really just don't understand it. Adults should be able to speak to other adults without tension.


Relationships start anywhere. It's just a matter of not stressing over it.

it wasn't even a catholic school

was a prep school my mom made me go to cause she worked there and i could go for free

Sorry, Lolserj, after reading through all of this today, I realized I shouldn't be posting while intoxicated.

What I was getting at Josiah is that it was not me over thinking my gestures, but rather it was the women. There've been times where I open the door for some women or a woman and a man, never really thinking anything about it, and then suddenly some *** is down my throat or some guy is telling me that I'm a loser.
I wouldn't let that kindof immaturity get to you unless there's more to the situation? I've held the door for anyone as well casually and no one has ever insulted me for it over the years. Granted I'm relatively intimidating irl but still, that kindof thing can be handled wrong easily. Were your examples strangers?
Asura.Vyre said:
There is no reason to be subtle if you are romantically interested in a person, that is, unless they have a spouse/partner. Coy games are not my thing.
I disagree with this and coming into the situation casually like it's a game is very effective. Coming off as dim witted or desperate would hinder your personal goal and while those gifts can work, a single rose or a heartfelt card from your trip with a bit of genuine sentiment would efficiently convey your intentions. Assuming you know these two women well enough and the ideas you suggested were from their own desires then you're right I'd limit subtlety but not abandon it. What do you want out of a relationship? You haven't mentioned much apart from annoyances at those disregarding you
Sometimes it's strangers. Other times it has been friends and aquaintances. One(a friend) even followed me around for a while going on a diatribe about how it was completely unnecessary for me to ever hold doors for anybody.

Why would you come off as a dimwit or desperate; if you didn't want to prance around being suggestive, being coy? It has its place, granted, but I don't find it effective for what I seek. Most of the people I know don't care for it either. Should we just make our personal experiences ultimates? I don't think that's what anyone has been aiming at, but you sound very condescending when you imply that my gifts were not heartfelt, meaningful.

Both gifts were unique, and each had things about them that no one else would of known about those ladies. Pink roses in a vase of water, for a girl whose favorite color was pink but had never received flowers before. A white wolf fur for a woman wanting something natural that would not perish. I'm not saying you need to lay everything on the line, or get anything outlandish/expensive. I just don't think there's much of a reason for you to feint with your feelings.

But like I said, I'll grant that I don't look for flings or short term things. That's a game I don't know how to invest in. And I guess I wasn't clear/in depth before Josiah, but I look for long term potential, a woman to share myself with completely. A woman to show the folks, or to enrage them depending lol. I look for an attractive woman. Attractive at least to myself, as that category is subjective. Maturity is another thing, as well as intelligence with a good sense of humor. Similar interests, common ground, the stuff that most people look for, but it must fit me. You see, I'm not really all that frustrated, so sorry if I misconveyed that. I was aiming to perhaps make some of the frustrated men and women question why they find themselves frustrated.

I would say that I am sexually frustrated. Not having had much of that, it is insanely difficult to ignore what my body craves. Especially when my friends are far better at gaining multiple partners within a short period of time, and when they boast about their exploits to me or for one reason or another ask me questions pertaining to something I have little experience in.


Have I cleared up what you wonder about me Josiah, or did I obfuscate it further?

From what I've heard, he's just a generally nice guy that isn't really interested in her, but she COULD be interested in him if "he weren't so nice".

I asked the girl telling me this and she couldn't explain it either. She has a history of dating *** though.

i have been told by someone to be an *** to girls >.>

I've heard that plenty of times too, but I can't honestly act that way. Even if the girl is trying to "change" me, and one day BAM I'm all better. She'd probably get bored with what she "changed" you to and find a new guy to "fix".

i can't be a fulltime *** :/

only a parttime one

If I'm being too nice to girls/women for some reason they seem to think it's because I'm interested in them, even though I already have a g/f.

I must look really desperate or something /shrug
