WOMEN

This entire world is in full balance under no law.  There is no constitution of anything, it is all relative.

I'm not agressive, I'm standing off to the side.....

Here's to hoping it lasts

right now I'm in my room because one of my neighbors walked by and she's an attractive girl my age, I don't want to start feeling sick so I'm avoiding seeing her walk by again.

Hey - if you'll permit an interjection from a newb

One of the things I think this thread is overlooking is, that a lot of girls have the same problems you do. I've only ever had two people, that I know of, interested in me: the first, my boyfriend, found me when I was 17, and the second just earlier this year, when I'm at the "ripe old age" of 19. One of my friend's older sisters wasn't asked out on a date until she was 22. And this isn't limited to the "unattractive" either - my best friend is a curvy blonde who has been called beautiful by random strangers her entire life, but who has never been asked out.

So, besides agreeing with darksinger that if you're under 20 you shouldn't be worried yet, I'd also like to add: have confidence! They're not all taken, and the taken ones probably aren't into prog or anything else you like. Expand your horizons.

I'm also going to give you, whether you like it or not, a bit of advice on the ladies from a lady's perspective, which you shall know the value of by its tags:

[bs]In terms of approaching, I've observed that most women like men who are confident, and of course, men who aren't scary. (Dangerous, sometimes - scary, never. Big difference.) First, brush your hair regularly, shave, and shower. It seems like common sense, but I've known plenty of guys who don't and can't understand why they drive girls away. Most women aren't into Aqualung. Next, think about what you want in a relationship. Make sure you've got a good idea of what you want, and that she can give it to you. Just knowing that will give you confidence. Then, approach - let her know you're interested - and back off. Let her make her decision. This provides the dual advantage of increasing your perceived confidence and keeping your attentions from being scary. And yes, even the least physically intimidating individuals can be scary, as they can still become stalkers.

If it doesn't work, find some way to let her know you're still interested, but keep your distance. Women's opinions of you can change drastically if you show discretion in this department.

Also, if you're looking for a good mate, darksinger is right that VanDerGraaf may not be the best choice of shirt - but Pink Floyd is a good bet. Lots of people like Pink Floyd, and wearing a shirt is a built-in potential conversation piece for any girl who likes them who might want to approach you. It simultaneously attracts those with potential and helps to weed out the others - win-win![/bs]

Later all ^^

it's very difficult to approach someone who doesn't at least show a smile or make eye contact once or twice. Also I'm almost 21 and have only been on one date do I have to be worrying yet?
