1. Oh GOD
have a little self-confidence, will ya?

Ok, look, you're cute and you seem rather smart and funny, so just go back and try that again, but with a bit more confidence this time, ok?

A lounge likes a poster to show a bit of that, ya know?

7. Okay, honey, as a former Pennsylvanian, let me give you some advice...
Nothing breeds success like success....

Women are attracted to successful men. Not so much because they are more likely to have money, but because they show confidence in themselves. They are at home with themselves and do not expect to be turned down. They also go after what they want.

Try it this way:

Walk with great confidence into the lounge with your roses. Go over to the object of your desire, stop, and all the while with a smile in your eyes, say something like, "You are so beautiful, you just take my breath away. May I present you with a small token of my admiration for you?" (Present the roses.) "Could I interest you in a walk around the gardens, or perhaps I could buy you a drink?"

Make sure that while you are saying your little piece that your attention is completely on her (no waggling eyebrows or lecherous looks either). Play it straight except for that little devil look in your eyes that says, "Yeah, I'm bad, baby, but I'm so bad I'm good. Would you like to be bad with me?" Ladies love that sort of thing, which is why the nice guys always end up being the "good friend" while the girl dates the jerk. The jerk plays the game. The nice guy can play it too and never stop being a nice guy.

12. Ahhh. I hope it works out!
There have been people that have met and married on here...ya never know. ;)

I've started thinking about dating again recently...it hasn't been my priority because I believe your outer world is a reflection of your inner world..so I've been working on that. I suppose it's good to lift your head up every now and then and look to see what's going on around you.

Not much going on. What's going on with you?

13. hehe, sure
i'm actually still looking for date #1. if you read post 9, i've always been the 'good friend' as opposed to the boyfriend. definitely agree about the outer world being a reflection of the inner world. heh, i've been ready to date for years, too bad my outer world doesn't agree!

hehe, other than that, not much going on here either, been a lazy bum this christmas break just watching TV and surfing DU for hours at a time!

14. You've never dated?
No relationships? I'm not the one to give advice in the dating arena because I need it myself. I suck at flirting. I'm more likely to become someone's friend than actually show I'm interested. My guy friends say that I never get asked out because I'm too intimidating...so when we go out I get stared at a lot but that's about it. Which feels like bizarro world...not so much..flattering. I guess if I actually believed I was attractive and attached that meaning to it, it would be flattering but (back to the inner world again) since I don't...I always think it means somethings wrong. Then I just start thinking about being at home with my hair in a ponytail, thick socks and a bathrobe on..hanging out with my dog and how much cooler that sounds.

I have no game.

15. yeah
i have lots of female friends, more than guy friends, but that seems to be my problem. girls see me more as a friend than anything more, which sucks greatly. I don't know how much your perception on your own attractiveness is worth, but then, i don't consider myself that attractive. I go more for the personality and the ability to hold conversation. i go with who i am and so if a girl likes me, it will be because of me and not who i'm pretending to be. may not be working now, but eventually i'll meet a girl who will see me for who i am.

16. Do you mind if I ask
how old you are? I know you said you'll be graduating college next year so I can kind of guesstimate you're in your early twenties which means there is plenty of time. As girls start to figure out who they are and what they are looking for they will be more interested in the guy with the really awesome inner qualities rather than the superficial crap. Well if they're smart they will. I don't really go off of looks, I mean there has to be some physical attraction, but what really gets me is the mental connection. I'm still waiting for that...not just mental but spiritual as well.

17. i'm 21
hehe, i'm hoping you're right. it ticks me off to no end when i see girls dating jerks and assholes and so they're treated awful and i know i can and will treat them better. the mental/spiritual connection is hugely important. anytime a girl and I just "click" i take notice. hehe, but then i find out they're unavailible in one way or another.

anyways, i need to get to bed. thanks for talking, have a goodnight! :hi:
