So this is how that would go:

Me: "Hey, how's it goin'? You like (band on shirt or something)?"
Her: "Yeah"
Me: "Umm, me too"
*silence*
*I walk off*

No, it's "Hey how's it goin'? You like (band on shirt or something)?"
Her: "Yeah"
You: "Well, I've (read, heard) this about them (insert fun fact here).
Her: "Really?"
You: "Really. And, also, this band reminds me of (some other band) whom I really like. Have your heard any of their stuff?"
Her: "No."
You: "Well it sounds like (here you give your opinion) and I like it because (here you give another opinion). Do you think you might like that?"
Her: "I don't know. Tell me more".
You: "Yadda, yadda".

It really isn't that hard to keep a convo going here.

lol, I'm too self-concious to be [I]that [/I]open and talkative with someone I just see standing around. I guess it never hurts to try though.

Maybe you gotta grow into it.

But, that's how I'd handle it.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Next, you need to become the most interesting person you can be. Were you here to see my whole schtick on keeping a journal?[/QUOTE]

BTW, you gave me that advice about keeping a journal with pros and cons about my personality etc like 6 months back. I think its really helped me become more confident in situations with talking to people, and in general. Thanks man. :wave:

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanther]No offense, but if you two stick to an only in school relationship, it won't be too fun/last very long.[/QUOTE]

I get to see her when I'm not at school, I just cant take her out.

Sadly enough I've had a many conversations like that. :(

Don't be like me, give actually talking a try.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make small talk, lol. Mt stomach gets queasy just thinking about it. I got an ulcer, so being quesy is a very bad thing for me. It would blow to go up to a girl, trying to start conversatin, then have to run off to blow chunks, haha.

alright so, I'm just gonna talk. read/don't read. Its really just for me.

Okay, so This saturday, I realized something, and its made me really happy. Even happier then it was before. And this is what it was.( i tried to fin a picture that would show, but i'll just tell you) What it was, was that my nails were a little less than 1/2 cm long. Stupid, right? No, i never realized this but ever since i entered MS, when your social life is as simple as it was, I've bitten my nails alll the time, i wasnt very popular, i was always trying to make friends, mostly to no avail. and i was always nervous. I never made the connect between the two untill now, when i realized how long they were, usually, theres no white, i would always bit it off, but now(weel i got rid of them, because they were really long) they're long. And i realized, for the frist time in a reallllly long while. I'm comfortable with my social life.
I have my friends now, enough so that i actually over book weekends sometimes, something thats never happened to me before. And not just novelty friends. Friends that actually stick up for me when i need it, help me out and the such. Its pretty cool, and I just thought I'd share.

Anyway, yeah. Thats pretty much it, except for the one girl, who I'm friends with, who i'm starting to want to go out with. but, hey, its spring break, I'm just gonna have a good time, and not worry about it.


Alright, I'm done.


Edit: To wizard(i think), yeah, I have a sarcstic sense of humor. it sucks, beacuse most people dont get it, and you look like and idiot or jerk, and you ahve to try to explain your sarcasm, yeah. I'm trying to loose it.

I bite my nails, but not of stress or anything. It's just a habit and it's faster than trimming them. Oh, and I do it real neat. :p

So today was the first day in school since my break up. It went better than i would've thought. Me and my ex still walked down the hall talking like we usually do, minus the holding hands n' stuff . However the fact that we broke up came as a major suprise to many people. One of my friends said she would get people to jump my ex if i wanted, i declined cause i'm nice like that.

Glad it wasn't horribly awkward.

wow i have a lot to tell but i wont be able to until after work

but in other news i just got contacts, took me about 10 min to put the first one in, my problem is putting them in, taking out is easy

im going to get an updated prescription in a week because i have a stigmitism or something so its going to take a few tries

He he contacts are always interesting the first time. Just make sure your eye is wide open and you just need to place the contact just touching your eye and it should just stick on. Careful you don't blink if there's still a bubble in it though, just swivel your eye around until it goes; then you're sorted.

heh yeah, cant wait for waking up early tomorrow morning so i can do it again!

Putting in contacts and taking them out is like tying a shoe or riding a bike. It takes a lot of time the first couple attempts, and then it becomes second-nature.

All this eye talk makes me remember that I need to be saving up for Lasik as well as for school costs next year :-\

[QUOTE=Chaindrive]Glad it wasn't horribly awkward.[/QUOTE]

The actual only ackward part of the day was when some of my friends, who didn't know about the break up, asked why i looked sad. And i guess a blank expression on my face is sad to them...

and there is the whole thing about me, you know, liking to be with a girl. But i'm not sure if i want to bother with a relationship or just have one of my female friends come over my house, pop in a movie, bust out some rum, and see what happens.

You don't absolutely [i]have[/i] to have a relationship. There's plenty of time for that.

[QUOTE=Chaindrive]You don't absolutely [i]have[/i] to have a relationship. There's plenty of time for that.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Sure, it's nice, but you don't have to feel obligated at all to be in one all the time.

haha

I have a dumb question about Myspace. if someone comments me saying I'm cute or whatever, how the hell do I respond to that? "Thanks, you're cute too" isn't going to cut it if I'm actually trying to start conversation with people.

[QUOTE=Chaindrive]You don't absolutely [i]have[/i] to have a relationship. There's plenty of time for that.[/QUOTE]

heh. my friend is having his girlfriend over his house on saturday, and we both think it could be possible that if she brings her friend and i go as well that me and her could hook up.

Course i still like my ex...

You don't have to respond if you don't want too....

But, I want to respond, even though comments like that annoy me. I'm trying to be social and all that mumbo-jumbo. What the hell could I possibly say in response?

See: my blurb about mySpazz from yesterday.

I have had a lot of girls tell me I'm cute, but I'm certain that they send a mass message to everyone who lives in my state/city/has the same relationship status as I do, so I don't think much of it.

Sometimes I respond to them, sometimes I don't.

Recently, I was asked if I was in need of a sugar daddy.

I wish I was kidding.

I didn't even understand that bit you said about Myspace yesterday.

I normally get irritated with poeple who go aroudn going "you're hot" to every guy they see, but I just want to be friendly, but I don't know what I could say to that kind of comment, that wouldn't be something along the lines of "thanks, you too" or whatever.

:lol:

Dude, I congratulate you on getting one of the only real laughs out of me in a few days.

God damn, all I did was say some girl was pretty and I got this comment:

[QUOTE]So, there was this girl named Camille, and she thought this guy named Damien was pretty cool. They talked on MySpace, and eventually Camille talked him into coming to London and hanging out with her and her awesome friends Tasha and Whitley.

The End.

Good story?[/QUOTE]

I thought I would be ok trying to talk to girls, but if I were to go hang out, I'd be dreadfully nervous. Like I said, every girl I've ever even flirted with has been handed to me on a silver platter, so I'm not sure how to react. Gah... I feel like a 12 year old boy trying to talk to his first crush, and all she's asking to do is hang out or whatever. :[

I'm lame as hell.

No, you're not lame as hell...it's just that Brit snatched all your self-confidence from you. It'll come back, don't worry.

But, I'm confident with girls I already know, just new ones are going to make me nervous.

Anything I can do to build back my confidence, without actually going by trial and error?

Confidence mostly comes from within. If you know you can talk to girls, etc. you'll do fine.

Otherwise, fake it 'til you make it.

Years ago when my band really started playing for keeps I was very nervous onstage, but I acted totally relaxed up there. Now I don't even think twice, I [i]am[/i] totally relaxed up there.

Try some of what Steerpike has to say. About making eye contact and letting her look away first. It'll work.
