I've never known someone who just goes up and talks to random girls to ever be succesful... the girl just usually says something like "i'll think about it" which is a nice way of saying "leave me the **** alone." If you want to meet people, don't count on just talking to random people... stuff like that only happens in the movies/tv... it's what "they" want you to think so they can sell you products that make you think what they want you to think is how you should think...

Maybe your just ugly.

I'm going to have to agree with your sisters hot, on this one.  Going up to random people works, you just need to be confident.  Look, if you think someone is hot, or what ever, then I say go an talk to them.  Who knows maybe they turn out to be the coolest person you ever met.

I probably am, but I wasn't speaking of myself... i was talking about this guy I know that does it all the time, but constantly gets shut down. I feel though that it is stupid to see a random person, and the only reason you talk to them is because of their looks... unless you're looking to "get some," this is probably a good idea. But, personality is a large part of a relationship, and you can't determine personality from randomly talking to someone (with that intention, anyway)...

Maybe hes ugly.

Why is it stupid to want to talk to someone who is attractive?  Why do people talk to anyone?  Everyone judges people, somehow, on how they look, to lesser or greater degree's.  Your right, you can't tell what a persons personality is like from what they look like, but thats where the talking comes into play. 
I think maybe your "friend" is just bad at trying to be suave.
Remember, people are random until you meet them.

I got asked out by a female once... I had to politely turn down as I have 0 experience in anything 'lovelife' like....

I was in 7th grade and it was MATH CLUB!

Around here.... I just am the new guy...

When I lived in Washington (state) I had many  many female friends... not a g/f but a f/f 

Edit - "Indolently Operose"??????? WTF does that mean???????       

it means you lazy!!!!

and whats with the whole rope, shovel, lime thing, I dont get it?


And unfourtanetly I cant really give you guys much advice on how to talk to a random girl, cause I dont have random guys coming up to talk to me 

I have to go and talk to them, then I end up regretting it   

iopossum, If you walked up to me and said what you said you never say, Id proably faint or die from happyness.
It shows intelligence (in more ways then one), that they are intrested in the same stuff as me, that they use macs (see both of the previous ), that they arent too incredibly popular (too nerdy , just perfect in my book! ), and who can loose with a name like Francisco!


as for advice, be fairly confident, but the problem with that is, If you are TOO confident, it looks like 1) youre either way not intrested at all 2) you have a stick up your butt and youre an anal uber strict freak, or 3) that youve practiced way too much and youre a crazy stalker freak

be NATURAL, if youre fake and you dont tell the truth she will end up not liking you and not wanting to talk to you ever again. trust me, I know

well yea if you use logic it makes sense.  I asked u guys just so i wouldn't do the "Hi my name is..... whats ur name? I think ur preeedy" thing.

while this thread is harmless...whatever you do, never ever post asking for advice about specific people on message boards if theres any chance they'll find it (i found this out the hard way)

you'd be surprise how much trouble google can cause...try looking up your name or screen name or something.

My move is one of the following:


1.) ether rag + duct tape

or

2.) bat



Not romantic, I know.  Sometimes you have to be resourceful though....

With chloroform, the duct tape would be unnecessary. The duct tape you spare could be put to better use, such as fasioning trendy clothing for you and your new girlfriend.

I have an update for you guys.

I gave up.  At first she was new and didn't have know anyone but i didn't strike while the iron was hot. Now it woudl take so much effort i'm giving up.

And good riddance to you.  Damn, that is plain old pathetic.

The way you'd have it, the only people you can get to know closely are people that know nobody else?  They have to be 100% invested in you for the relationship to be of value?

Get over it dude, there's no way that can be your life mantra.  Furthermore if you try to make your way doing that, you're going to be a very lonely person.

Jesus, I love that: "Too much effort."  Too much effort to do what?  Alienate her?  Well thank god it's too much effort for you, then.  You're the guy who wants to go around and own people's souls.

So now I'm done berating you (sorta).  What's wrong with being another one of her friends?

I found something almost as good. I painted a face on my hand.  I'l try to post a pic later. what do guys think is a good name for "her"

Dude, that's just a little weird.

No, really, you shouldn't tell people these things.

I gave up.

well, good for you...she would've said no anyway

Ok, I've got a question.


I asked a girl to the prom, and she said she'd guess she'd go with me. Prom is next week, and she hasn't mentioned it since. I'm not sure how to approach it....and she sort of intimidates me anyway...

And good riddance to you.  Damn, that is plain old pathetic.

I'd defend LKS in this case, but I've had enough arguing for one day. So, yadda yadda, countermanding rhetoric, yadda. Sometimes it's not worth trying to force a friendship. Not worth the effort could simply mean that it would be a chore to get someone to even recognize you as a fellow human being.

I was kidding about the hand thing too.  The red pen i first used was semi permenet(i'm nto joking about that i really did get that boerd in class since we're taking the STAR tests and i have my 1st perido class for over 2 hours. Plus one of the souls i own gave me a great Idea for a name)

Good Lord, don't remind me about STAR testing. For those of you who haven't been through STAR testing, being driven to draw all over your body in permeant ink is actually a very mild reaction. Luckily, seniors don't have to take it. Whooo!

Um... this could be awkward. If she literally uttered the word "guess" when she responded, I'm thinking that she's not too thrilled with the whole prospect. This is probably one of those times where you should just let the issue die, and to save any embarrassment or future awkward moments, move to Canada... assuming you're not currently living in Canada, in which case you should don a fake mustache to protect your true identity.

But seriously, I'd bring it up instead of just leaving things hanging, but if I was in your situation I would probably let her know (in an incredibly awkward manner) that it was alright if she didn't want to go with me since she didn't seem interested to begin with. But don't listen to me, as I have never had luck with girls.

Crap

Holy smurf, calm the smurf down.  So he gave up, its a good thing to learn how to do, everyone should learn.  But seriously, its not that big of deal.  I'm sure he'll find someone else to pine over soon enough.

Ask her what color her dress is, and what kind of flowers she wants for her corsage. And then say when shall I pick you up.
