Twenty years old and I still can't talk to girls....fml

Sounds to me like your putting Waay to much pressure on yourself and that when you see a girl you want to talk to you are building it up into this huge deal that its not. So first off you need to relax. Realize that its ok to be nervous and that its also ok to open with that. Mention that you actually get really nervous when you try to talk to girls. Not only will it break the ice, but most likely she will enjoy your honesty, feel flattered that you decided that she was worth talking to despite your anxiety and at the very least you will get a good conversation out of it (and a little bit of practice to boot). :P

Im not able to read through all the pages, but i do not envy you being in Knox and not being able to pick-up chicks.

My advice is to not try so hard, you need to crash to learn the art and remember that nice guys don't finish first

There is a girl in my Psychology class that makes my heart race every time I see her. She's no super model but damn, when I see her all I can think is that she has got to be one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. I went to high school with her and have never worked up the nerve to talk to her. Spring break is March 5-10 but it is just so conveniently scheduled to give me eleven days off from school. Maybe i'll practice while we're out and talk to her when we come back ;)

That's not true! I went from a horrible marriage right into a toxic relationship and was tied down to -ahem- jerks (understatement) for longer than they deserved. My boyfriend wanted to date me for so long, and he was obnoxious about it! I kept him in the friend zone and started dating. As each one crashed and burned I realized that I belong with him. And, he's a nice guy, usually :rolleyes:

She may not be available then. If you want something, go for it. Procrastination won't make it any easier. Wouldn't you be kicking your own behind if you got back from break, finally got up the nerve to ask her out and she stops you by saying "I'm sorry I JUST started seeing someone." Don't let it get to that point. Women are intimidating, I wanted to high-five quite a few of the guys that have ever had the nerve to approach me. But don't wait! Keep it low key, ask her if she wants to grab coffee, or if you could take her out for dinner some night. It doesn't have to be this huge deal unless you make it that way. Confidence goes a long way, it took me a long time to learn that. You don't have to be Brad Pitt to get the girl you want :)

hahaha go big or go home! I like your attitude! Get'm coach! :gj::gj::gj::banana:

I'm not very good at talking to girls either.. Especially if I have to break the ice and come up with something... The girls I've been with have started the conversation o_O.. I guess I'm lucky.. Girls love long hair LOL.... That's normally the first thing they say which immediately breaks the ice :D. "Wow love your hair!" me: Thanks, your hair is so much nicer though! "Thanks! how long have you been growing your hair?!" LOL... It gets a bit boring if it stays on the hair.. especially since i've heard it all before >_>.. "you look like -----" lol. Trust me.. I've heard it T.T....

It would make it a helluva lot easier though :P

Well it's a little too late now. That class was at 9:00 so she's in a different class by now. I'll probably see her again in the open computer lab later on, I usually do. I can only cross my fingers and hope for the best. She's probably already with someone though, I seriously doubt that she's single. Can't hurt to try though.

Thank you, I love you all :)

Hey, I didnt read every post on this one. But There is a good book..

"how to Start a Conversation and make friends" by Don Gabor..

Order and read it several times!!!

Just a thought!

I also find that corny humor is good but you need to say it in such a way that it shows you know its corny but are just kidding around and having fun. If she has a good sense of humor and is decently clever it works.

Thats how i tricked my girlfriend into thinking i am funny and into dating me.
