I have no advice for you. But all these posts about how you're a "pussy" bug me. I always find it hard to believe that these people sitting on a gaming forum are big pimps who have no problem picking up women and feel it helpful to tell everybody else how much of a pussy they are.

I did an Ash Ketchum cosplay at NY Comic Con (my first time ever cosplaying... I'm 28 :lol ) and I could not BELIEVE the number of cute girls complementing me and asking to take my pic. I'm sure if I was single, and younger, anime cons would be a great place to meet girls.

Fixed.
Aaaand, fixed.
should've added borders though
Stop kidding yourself and start taking some of the advice in here. Not just reading it, but acting upon it. Monday is closing in, 6 days left, go go go go!
So true :lolRocket Scientist said:

I agree, if you want to meet like minded people then you should of course go to places where people with similar interests gather together. And if you're on this forum then you're probably interested in various videogaming/anime/comic cons and you should really just go to these in order to find some like minded future partner.djtiesto said:

For me, my social anxiety is too much for me to go to bars alone. Not to mention I've never been much of a drinker.
Right now, I'm trying to work up the courage to ask out a girl from another department at work. Problem is, she only stops by our office irregularly and I don't want to seem stalkerish and stop by her department.

Man, you think you have it bad. My parents force me to go to this student gathering thing on Wednesdays and if I don't go, they'll fine me $25. After every time, my dad is like, "meet any hot chicks?" even though I've told them that people don't really talk afterwards etc. and they always nag me to ask my friend's gf if she has any friends and that we should "double date" :lol. I mean, I appreciate that they are trying to encourage me to get out there and meet someone, but shit is frustrating as hell since they seem to have no idea how the dating scene works.EraldoCoil said:
There is nothing wrong with using a dating site. It's a good way to sort out all of the incompatibles and find a partner with similar interests, which has shown to have the greatest long-term success in maintaining a relationship. Bars and other social gathering places are usually a complete crapshoot when it comes to finding the right person.

Ya, I did something like that, way back in the '90s. The only cute girl I met was from Florida, so that was unfortunately a no-go.djtiesto said:

Saw this girl at the local PC retailer today. My brother who was with me said she was looking at me throughout, which is strange because I didn't catch her eye whilst I was looking at her - although I did occasional play it cool and stare at some machines in between intervals. Had that feeling of annoyance when walking away, but I'm going back tomorrow to get her name and have a conversation with her. Haven't decided yet on whether to make it seem like I'm interested in buying something or just tell her that I came back for her. I found out that my sister knows her and literally had to beg her for 4 hours to tell me something about her.

Perfect. :lol
But being honest though, you never know who is and isn't interested in you. It's best to keep your eyes peeled and take opportunities when they come.
People with these problems often describe themselves as "nice guys" and bring on the saying"nice guys finish last", and I tend to disagree with this. How can you finish if you don't even start to begin with?

Trying is the first step towards failure. The lesson is, never try.
Or like many have said here... Try, get rejected, learn from it and move the fuck onEraldoCoil said:
See thats the thing... you had a subject to talk about, you could just strike conversation from one that was already started. You had it easier then the people that need to start the conversation and didnt take it.Vox-Pop said:
maybe start with a "whats the movie about?" or ask about the genre or when it came out.
Actually, I didn't even think about that.yencid said:Or like many have said here... Try, get rejected, learn from it and move the fuck on

Sure we do, we all get nervous but eventually we actually TRY and ask some girl out, not make countless posts on gaf about how pathetic we are and how we didn't have the balls to ask the person out.
edit: not to mention that, of course, that nervousness is just a state of mind and that it goes away after you ask the girl out, even if she says no. Her saying no will just make you feel awkward for a couple of days but if she says yes then you'll be rewarded with happiness for days/weeks/years.
Everyone must realize that you will get nervous before asking the girl out and the quicker you ask her, the faster the feeling will go away.

Amusing. You do realize your parents are people too and that they went through the same courtship rituals, right? Maybe less technology, but fundamentally the same experience (unless it was an arranged marriage or something). They were once teens and 20-somethings that had to deal with social anxieties and talking to the opposite sex as well. Keep an open mind; you may learn a thing or two from them with regards to girls and dating if you listen to them. Obviously, your dad knows what he's doing.The Skater said:

I was here for a while but i couldnt see her anywhere. I finally decide to walk out and, low and behold, she is there at the exit and walks right by me with her usual smile. Im caught off guard and she was literally in my face and almost walked into her. I sit down at the couch beside the door and after composing myself, get up and walk to find her in the store again. Cant see her. Wtf. Walk a few more circles and she is there, but damn, she is with a group of colleagues. So i walk around again to find her alone later. I need a minute alone with her. Now, she is on the phone. Ugh. Shoot me. I pretend I'm headed somewhere else and by now is probably thinking I'm acting strange. Not good. And yet, i'm still here. i can't leave without doing this.

How do you read that into my question?
I just want to know what the people in this thread actually want. I'm sure there are lots who just want to lose their virginity, people who want to be loved, people who don't want to be alone or people who don't even know what exactly they want yet.

I was thinking about it in on the bus home. I ended up being really nervous when talking to her, and I think it showed, but ironically I wasn't nervous the first time I saw her. I went there knowing she was on shift during those hours, and I expected to walk in and walk out within 5 minutes. In reality I was there for almost an hour. As I waited her for originally to show up, it sort of killed my momentum. And then constantly breaks in rhythm with her disappearances and her preoccupations with other customers. Each time I had a bad vibe and walked out. But that's what I've been doing all my life and each time I walked back after composing myself. I was more determined than ever to actually ask her - or in my mind, do something you've never done before. And in hindsight I suppose that's my comforting thought, that I couldn't maybe expect much more.
What happened was that she was behind this screen. People around but I stood and turned, walked to her and met her with a smile. She gave a polite one back, and I lost my train of thought. I swore I repeated a word or twice..eventually I stopped, and remember saying "this was a lot easier in front of a mirror". She wasn't smiling beyond her initial one, and was sort of staring at the screen. "I know, this is a little strange..maybe awkward"..and she said "..yea..its strange", sounding confused whilst she again looked at the screen to avoid eye contact. She was then gesturing between her and me, suggesting it wasn't personal etc. I could tell she was uncomfortable and then I knew it was a no but I didn't know how to end this conversation. She looked at me, and said she knew my family, as if to imply that was the reason this felt awkward for her but the lack of eye contact, lack of words and her smile abandoning her suggested her denial was more related to me than anything. She looked at me once more and said "..but thanks" in a tone of a voice designed to soften the impact and smiled.
What did I say to her originally?
I told her the truth. That was the only thing I could have said - I was a consumer and she was an employee there to sell me things, and I wasn't going to ask her about another cooker after my mum and I yesterday bought one off her. She recognised me when I walked towards her, and I said hi.."you met my mother yesterday, and her taste in cookers..but I'm not here for that. I actually came here for you" and then went on to say why that was etc. I had nothing planned, no lines, I just opened my mouth and I guess that frankness caught her off guard. I don't really regret it - the only way it would have happened was if she was attracted to me. Maybe if she was outside her workplace, we could have had a normal conversation. I'm kind of down about it because she was really nice.
Now, I have to avoid that place like a plague. I wonder what she thought as I walked away, or if she looked at me as I headed to the exit.
