Why did you go your separate ways? If he was a friend, and extroverted, that's a really good person to learn from. Friends can be really good resources to expand your social boundaries. Do you live on campus? When I was a college student, I commuted, which made it hard sometimes to make friends...

I agree it isn't a bad idea to start out with simple tactics and work your way up; however, I checked out that link you posted: Wouldn't this sort of advice confuse and mislead newbies just as much? Or does this stuff actually work?

I seriously thought you were being sarcastic till I saw your other thread. I think I'd rather keep my dignity, but thanks for the suggestion.

I wouldn't say that they're paranoid--just that they aren't very interested. Though I did used to have one friend who was like that. So much so, he was hesitant to tell people what type of girl he liked, because he thought he might be "influencing" them to go after the same girls he was going...

Of course, it all depends if you can even find such a guy, and if you do, whether or not such a guy is going to want to hang out with you anyway. I've considered many times going the "circle of friends" route. I always hear this is how most people met their gf/bf, or whatever; it's usually...

Here's a friend of mine's situation...he does the same kind of work as you--Real Estate, and yes, it does take up a lot of his time. It can be a crappy job, because you only get paid on commission; there's no steady paycheck, as I'm sure you know. So on the weekends, he waits tables at a...

I'm not sure; I think what makes me uncomfortable calling is that I never know if I'm disrupting them or catching them at a bad time. Without having a few key things prepared, I think I would most likely stumble over my words, or forget to say certain things that are important. I'm probably...

Hi. I should start by saying I'm sort of a veteran to these boards. In the beginning it really helped me some. I've always had social anxiety, but in my early to mid-twenties, after reading many of the articles, I'd gotten pretty decent at approaching girls. Back when I was a student at a...

Well, just an update on my friend. He says he talked to this girl again and they had what he described as kind of a weird conversation. Basically during their convo, she brings up that she thought he might have a crush on her, and she was afraid she might be leading him on. She says she tends to...

I haven' t posted here for a very long time, and I feel a little weird about doing it. But I had a discussion with my friend last night, and this topic seems worthy of a post, so I thought I'd go for it. He met a girl who works in the cafeteria at his dorm, and she always goes out of her way...

Guys, I don't think he was being serious. This is strangely reminiscent of a juicypoop thread (read the last article in the DJ Bible, and you'll see what I mean).

I don't think I have to worry about getting fat just yet. I am currently around 120 pounds. I've been trying to bulk up--not easy though. It stinks being the skinniest guy at the gym. I've been trying to eat healthier too, more fruits and vegetables, and I try to watch my fat intake (I think...

I've noticed when I look in the mirror, that it looks like I am developing a six-pack. When I flex my abdominal muscles, it's even more noticeable. However, only when the light hits it just right. It seems to disappear when I step out of it. My current ab routine is two sets of 30 crunches...

I've actually browsed that site before (God help me). It really could get your blood boiling, but it also mentions that the stuff on that site is not meant to be taken seriously. It's more of a novelty site; at the most, a place for women to vent their frustrations. If there really are women...

Maybe the whole "alpha-male" theory is not directly related to Darwinism--I think the reason why it is brought up so much in this forum is because it draws parallels. I think we are basically dealing with an analogy here, used frequently to make a point. Whether or not it should be taken...

Well, no doubt part of it is the fact that we are uncomfortable talking to girls. There's no denying that this is a big reason. But beyond that, I can only speculate why girls don't seem to care. But I think my theories are pretty sound. Think about it--if you had girls approaching you all the...

Once again, I didn't talk to anybody. I'm starting to think I should just give up on this class. I can't deal with it. From now on, I think I'll make this thread more of a general field report, because it's pretty obvious I'm not going to get anywhere in that class. One thing I have observed...

Tonight's class isn't even worth talking about. I didn't talk to anybody. However, something more significant happened at the gym. A girl who works, as well as works out there, I suspect may like me. Although this is merely a speculation--I emphasize that it is equally likely that she...

Shouldn't, but it does. I remember the last time I went for a girl's number. My hand was literaly shaking as I handed her the pen and paper--I still wonder if she noticed. This has happened to me several times. It's got to be one of the most uncomfortable things I ever have to do. Of course I...

Well, today it pretty much happened the way I had anticipated. I was able to talk to some of the guys and gals in the lobby before class and during the break, but as far as going up to a girl and making conversation, I failed miserably. During break, I saw several girls. Some of them I had even...
