hey! this is my first post! I was out at the weekend with a good friend of mine and he had just broken up with his girlfriend. anyways, when we were chatting, we started talking about life and all that and he disagreed with something I had said and it kinda put me on the defensive. half-way through this chat, a girl turned around and started asking us "where the good clubs were?" so my friend started chatting to her. he has immense game, never met anyone who has came close to his game. the girl he was chatting to was very pretty, not my type tho cos she was trying to hard to be paris hilton and i find that a HUGE turn-off lol her friend was very average-looking and i wasnt attracted to her at all. I couldnt think of anything to say to the girl while my friend chatted. They were from Scotland, and for anyone who doesnt know the scottish accent, its pretty thick and dense and we couldnt understand what the girls were saying. My friend said jokingly that "your voice reminds him of shrek" which made both of them laugh. after 5-10 minutes, my friend left to get a drink, and i was left with the 2 girls. I had asked the girl i was chatting to what she did for a living? and i asked the paris-hilton lookalike if she enjoys her job? and she said sumthing which i couldnt understand (cos we were in a noisy bar and her accent) so I jokingly said that "it is a bit like talking to shrek" with a joking smile on my face. She flipped and screamed "i've just bought you a drink, fu** off" and she aggressivly pushed my head and stormed off. I replied with "fu** you, I never asked you to, have it back then!!" anyways, my friend asked me what happened and i told him and i went to apologise to the girl who was chatting to another mate, and she just said "f*** off" to me again, and i just turned away and ignored her. a minute later she came over to me and said she was sorry for arguing and all that, and i apologised as well, and everything was fine.
long rant i know lol
Thing is, I have a stammer, sumtimes its fine, sumtimes when I know I'm gonna stammer, i go very quiet. I can go to speech therapy which, with practice, will enable me to speak fine, albeit slowly. But I dont go, and I dont know why I have this motivational problem.
I just want to know if anyone thinks what i said was out of line (the shrek thing)? i am just starting to use a bit of c+f cos I am usually a shy guy and, due to my stammer, i feel like i dont have a lot of social experience with talking and being funny. I have always been the type of guy who can make little small talk with people, but I always feel as though people are just being polite to me because of my stammer. also, what could have been a better thing to say?
I really want to improve this part of my life, as I feel its severly lacking. I know I have to "do" it, so that I wont regret it when i'm 65 and not able to get it up LOL
thanks for your time
