I’ve always been bad at talking to girls. I’m very awkward. Been single for 10 years or more because I’m too shy and when I talk I mess it up. Any recommendations?
Just randomly walk up to women and announce that you are schizophrenic and looking for love.
lol. Just kidding. I will let the women answer.
I’m just too awkward and too shy. I always wanted to have a family but I’m not sure that will happen.
Any suggestions on how to start a conversation?
If you have anxiety that’s going to be a major hurdle for you. Your best bet is to optimize your looks however you can. Usually high protein diet, plenty of water and some strength training will get you right. You don’t have to go overboard. If you’re looking your best you don’t really have to say much, just small talk is enough. My own appearance changes drastically based on body weight/ hydration/ sun/ exercise etc. If you look your best that’s 95% done, the other 5% is being cool.
I’ve also tried dating sites. No success.
You’re in a rough period of history in general and a really rough personal position with sz. When people were looking for monogamous life partners more the odds of getting a partner were more spread out. Now some people get a lot of partners and some people get few or none. Don’t give up, but you got to get yourself being your best and seizing the moment when it arrives.
I’m just afraid of rejection. It hurts and makes me feel humiliated.
Almost everyone is sensitive to that. It’s not the nicest most inclusive or accepting social scene out there if you noticed. A lot of people thrive on making others feel bad. If you try to talk to randoms that will most likely happen. Either be indifferent to it or let it affect you, but if your method is talking to random people youre going to get random reactions.
I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
I’m taking a girl to a photography museum, I like her but am not sure if she feels the same way about me.
Does she like photography? Is she going to have fun? If she is really bored and feels like crap shes going to associate that with you maybe, no?
She sounded excited to go. She also wants me to teach her how to use a camera. Hopefully she’ll have fun.
She likes art, but is mainly into crocheting than anything.
If she starts looking bored maybe ask her to go somewhere else with you? I don’t know what they have there, but even a lively place like a sports bar or something could be a better change of scene. Personally I’m not liking the photography museum idea, but I could be wrong.
We are probably going to a bar afterwards for a beer or two and food.
Sounds really interesting.
G.i.r.l. Guy. In. Real. Life.
It’s a cool place. Classic photographs and tons of cameras from the past and present.
I always got a lot of success by inviting them to dinner with me right off the bat…like…say Hello…I’m Michael…she answers her name…then you ask her to dinner…really works well and gets the I’m not available right on the table…be confident…this really works.
I thought it’s best to get to know them first?
if you’re attracted to her the chemistry is already there…I’m just trying to get your foot in the door.
