but you used that already.

just remember everyone else there is doubtless an even bigger twat than you.

It's no easier if you're a girl

with the help of alcohol

might be up your street if you're not confident enough to talk to girls.

don't talk to anyone, but sit in the corner of the room doing this face for the whole night -

chicks dig it.

if you ain't got the trousers to back up the mouth.

talk a lot
english accents = hot girls hitting on you
EVEN HAPPENS TO ME

If you don't start trying to engage with people, they might assume you're being shunned as you're a massive racist or something.
I think quiet people get to be attractive by being nice once you get to know them, or something.

i'm quiet.

my bashfulness is repelling, too. i got asked out last week but i'm pretty sure it was for a joke because shit like that never happens to me.

best just to chop it off and stop worrying about such things, eh.

I've been asked out twice in the last month and then NOTHING happened with either person - one of them I didn't even get a chance to say 'no'. Oh, and I went on a separate kind of date with another person which clearly neither of us really wanted to be at, even though we did some indie date preparation beforehand. It's kind of good in a way though - getting the ego-boost of being asked out and not experiencing the inevitable sense of self-hatred when they don't contact you after the first date because the first date never happened.

ADVICE: I think not focusing on wanting to speak to GIRLS is a good idea. If you approach them like anyone else who isn't a hot girl, then they are more responsive. I guess you're not quiet all the time if you go to parties quite often?

chicks love it

everyone needs a wingman

drinking helps although that's already been covered.

If you're enjoying life in general and feel valued by certain people then it becomes easier, my life took a turn for the better recently and I'm starting to realise that talking to girls isn't actually that difficult. If I can do it then I'm pretty sure you can. If you're stuck in a rut then it definitely makes talking to girls (or people in general) more difficult, it's a confidence issue.

so the first thing I'd ask is how happy you are, if the answer is "not very" then improving your life would be a good start.

you are a whale.

You are a gigantic whale.

Repeat this 250 times before going to bed.

you'll be alight son

sympathise at crucial moment

(please note - I do not necessarily endorse this tactic)

you run the risk of girls thinking you fancy them and coming up to you jsut to reject you anyway.

So.

remember. You're a mammal not a slimy fish

i mean nothing else even comes close.

it's really important to know that you should just talk talk talk, about whatever you want, it really doesn't matter. nobody is going to judge you or even think anything about what you say, and by talking about anything you seem friendly and confident. And smile smile smile

these are the ways of the quiet man

run smoothest if you're prepared to start asking some basic questions, pay attention, ask a follow up, and before you know it, you're up and running.

Says me, who is crap at ice-breaking.

that I was having to deal with all this sort of stuff pre-internet. There was no hmm I'll post a thread and see who can help, you just got on with it, went out and made a tit of yourself and / or pulled. YOU KIDS DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BORN OR SOMETHING : )

Chicks dig good-looking guys, doesn't matter if you're quiet or not, if you're a munter you're a munter. Not that i know what you look like, but odds are that if you can't get laid you're either not very interesting or attractive, possibly both.

of your folks house before the age of 38 and you'll be rewarded by meeting a cuddly midwestern woman on the internet who shares the same documentary-friendly interests as you. There are plenty of jewellers on the way to Heathrow.

In a whisper.

Hahahahahaha

(I read this thread this morning Before work and thought of that, and it literally got me through my day at work with the anticipation of posting it!)

send messages on facebook
have bad posture
hang around with friends who'll mention the time you did stupid things
talk about how much you love drugs
talk about wanking
talk about how lazy you are and how you don't give a shit

...do none of these things. as for parties, if you're not confident you're not gonna talk to anyone, so you need to sort that out and then things follow naturally.

unless you're too shy to have any

i fancy someone who, according to those who properly know him, is very very shy when not drunk. i've only met him when he was very drunk, and he wasn't shy at all, but like, i'm scared at the thought of meeting him sober and shy because how is one meant to know if it's shyness or uninterestedness!? so in order to make this more relevant, you can see how the very girls that you're sat there pining over, will in some (many) cases think that you're just being bored and uninterested when you're just being shy, and it doesn't work out for anyone, so you need to make it more clear that you're not in fact uninterested as such, when you're not. yeah?
