For the guys who complain about girls.
coughEntropylastnight cough.


Original post:
So here's the deal. To put things simply, I'm the gay friend (minus the gay) for about 6 different girls. This frustrates me to no end. I don't mind being there for them and helping out, but I've reached a personal breaking point. I have plenty of female friends, I hang out with girls all the time, I just never get to the relationship phase ever or get any action. I'm not hideously ugly, I have good social skills hindered by a dark sense of humor (that I've been working on toning down), and I like to think I'm a pretty nice guy (most people I know will agree). I apologize for textually stroking myself there, but my main point is I'm your typical nice guy- not an introvert in a black trenchcoat.

Sadly, I have no such link for girls. Nor advice of my own. Wasn't interested in anyone, really, until I met the guy I'm with now. Mostly because, for some reason that I can't fathom, the guys in my classes in highschool were all somewhat terrified of me. :(

If you know how to get chicks, and you talk to hot girl. Even if you look like a pitbull, Trust me you would get laid. Hot girls aren't approched by much guys anyway, unless it's in a bar(alcohol).

And to the guys who say they date for happiness. Oh please, stop it with the virgin talk. Getting close to girls is for getting laid. Unless, the girl isn't single or you're too afraid to stand up to her boyfriend. Or unless, she's a lesbian...

I don't know much about the guy specifically.

The pickup line? I dunno. I've always found pickup lines lulzy at best. The confidence? Yes.

You're to get his number.. But not during class: After class, while you're packing up. That's always a successful wrap-up. The last thing you both go off with in your mind is the dinner/meet-up is SCHEDULED, and you both have a way to get a hold of the other one.

I've got more successful tactics, especially for the exchange of numbers, but they require you to be of the opposite sex

Hmm, I might have to try that... I normally don't like pickup lines either (except when their obviously done ironically), but I kindof like the idea. I can't see it being very successful though.

Also, you should totally share Mike.

Since we've got a guy asking then: Smooth move of the month is when you borrow their phone, call yourself and don't pick up... Then show her how you now have her number. Seems simple, especially if you know a little bit about the software in your phone, but she'll (And now, by "she", I nullify any girl reading this) be a little intrigued at your resourcefulness. OH and it prevents any screw ups of digits, or any fake-numbers.

wait.. wait.. are you asking how to approach A GUY? Man, honestly, if you don't look half bad, just sit beside him, talk to him. Trust me, I'd be more than willing to have a conversation with a chick if she started talking to me first (or it might just be me).

Even if you ARE half bad, wear something that shows off your boobs or your butt,

PROBLEM SOLVED

You're not being very positive And showing your boobs or butt is cheating on my challenge.

Aabout that...do the ladies always expect the guys to whip up a convo? Don't they know some guys are just plain horrible at doing that? We're cool, and if you got to know us you probably won't be disappointed, but you probably won't get there if you always rely on the guy to start talking.

This lady doesn't.

I imagine many do, though.
