Hello, im 18 years old and i notice when im being nice all the time, like a gentlemen, i come off boring towards women and im always just the "friend". people tell me you have to be an ass in a way to women but not in a bad way like just in a fun joking matter or whatever but i don't really want to act like that because women might just see me as a straight ass but at the same time i dont want come off boring and too nice and never get anywhere and just always be the friend either. Can anyone tell me some tips or give me advice on getting women to think im fun and cool to talk to. also im kinda bad at starting conversations and i always run out of stuff to talk about and don't know what to say even if i'm just talking to my homeboys and that too makes me feel boreing like nobody would want to chill with me. I was sheltered growing up, my parents never really let me go anywhere so i was always at home unless i was at school so i have bad social skills and was always the "quiet kid" growing up. And now that im not quiet anymore im kind of think im boreing in a way but not completely, only when im with talking to women and people that i barely know or am just now meeting. somebody help me out. peace
