and I had no idea how to react. seriously, none, so I just kept the small talk going as long as I was capable (I don't know how to do smalltalk) and, eventually, just asked the question I had initially been meaning to ask, and I ran off to the pickup counter (guitar pickup, not the sort of pickup I utterly fail at)
I asked her where the guitar pickups were, she started a conversation with me about my bag, and looked at me like a foot taller than her piece of meat. I felt like a piece of meat, but a piece of meat that could share interests with the person he was talking to (baldurs gate, military surplus, D&D jokes) she was attractive also, and as I am used to being very insecure and outcast, attractive women giving me the time of day is still something I am adjusting to. edit: and prax is right, I have no idea how.
I am guessing you were caught off your guard dave. If I could give any advice it would be to be as retarted as you possibly can.
oh, it was positive, and confusing. and really depressing when I had no idea where to take toe conversation, and I had to reiterate my question, and go and talk to, although really cool guys.... guys.....
:smash: You are attractive and tall. Most women love tall men. Make her laugh. Smile at her. Ugh I now just want to make you my pet project. You just had to put that quote in your sig. didn't you. haha goof ball.
If she flirts with you, you're allowed to compliment her, you know? "Say, I really like talking to you. You're a cool person. Do you like to walk on the outside or the inside of the sidewalk? If you say outside, I can't hang out with you." This should work for women under 30.
I am used to thinking of myself as very unattractive, I am also used to thinking of myself as short. (I was the shortest or second shortest kid in my class until freshman year, teacher was trying to find the tallest person to hang something on the wall, turned out to be me, even though I'd taken myself prematurely out of the "competition") and I don't understand people in the slightest and I don't know how to smalltalk. I know how to broadcast, I know how to provide, and acquire information but not small talk.
This is the story of my life. I wish I could give some better advice than don't worry about it, but it always bothers me when a pretty girl talks to me and I become nervous. Does it help if I tell you that with practice you might occasionally succeed? Its not as if you haven't something to say. You're an interesting fellow...try to sell that.
...some it comes natural. When you step out of your comfort zone you'll be a little bit more ready next time. That is pretty awesome to hear though.
Well obviously you don't know shit about yourself. haha Who really understands anyone? Many of us think that we do, but are usually wrong. Do you know worthless trivia? There's some small talk. My ex used to talk to me about books and cars. Making a girl smile = good.
