Alright, let me just say that I use the term popular loosely. I mean the guy who hangs out with the jocks. I'm a pretty popular kid, but I don't hang out with the jock social circle save for one or two people, otherwise I probably have more quality friends than he does.
Anyway, there's this girl that I've been flirting with and then withdrawing for the past week and she's going ga-ga over it. Everything will work out great, if I don't end up c-blocking myself. Because I've got it hammered into my head that the jock social circle has got first pick of the hot girls (I mean, they have had it for the past three years, why shouldn't they? Wrong.) and now that I've found out that they're talking (well, the girl still likes me, so her friend says) then I feel as though I'm going to be naturally nervous or insecure when I'm talking to her now, knowing that I'm going to have to compete with a "popular" kid. Or, I could be completely blowing this out of proportion, which I probably am. But I can't let myself psyche myself out, so I'm wondering what your guys' opinions are on it.
How important is popularity to a girl? Me and this guy are both tall, good looking, and we're both confident. The only advantage he has over me is that he was friends with her first and that he hangs out with the popular kids (which for some reason I feel makes him better than me), but I'm actually doing something with my life (I placed first place in Colorado in a film competition and I'm going to pursue that, has already gotten me some tail) and he's an idiot as most jocks are. Girls are in abundance for both of us. It all comes down to me holding true to my principals back two years ago where I stood up for a kid getting picked on by the jocks and got into a fight with one of the jocks and kicked the **** out of him because they're a bunch of tools. That's basically the reason why I'm not in with that crowd, although at times I wonder if I should've taken the plunge for more ass.
I need to not psyche myself out guys, if you guys have any words of encouragement or war stories or any advice on the matter, let that **** rip, I could definitely use it. My main concern is just not letting my mind blow it out of proportion. But, it's really oh well, if I botch this up somehow, I've got a nice lineup of other girls I'm looking at right now anyway. But, right now, I want her, and I'm going to get her.
