Dating & Relationships Love sucks. Now you can cry about it…

Do you find it painful to watch other people ask somebody out?

If Mike's buddies are anything like my buddies, all the pointers will go in one ear and out the other.

Actually one time, my buddy had his eyes set on this chick, he knew that he would go up to her and get a number, we just kept saying be cool, keep it smooth and don't do anything stupid. He walks up to her and beyond his control, he sneezes, and I swear the stuff that came out was less then pleasant. He looks at her and all he can say is "Shit"... he comes back to the table and we were all like "Nice, you almost got a word out that time"... It was like a scene out of Seinfeld or something.

All you need to do is accidentally ump into her from behind and say "Oh, I'm sorry." Then introduce yourself. Its not too hard and you just have to pull it off in the right tone of voice. Sincerity usually works.

who cares just go up to a girl you like say ur name and think of any conversation to talk about, get her #, if she doesn't want to or has a bf, go onto the next girl. that's what i would do. yes you get nervous, but who gives a crap, just drink some wine or beer beforehand. and then go on a quick date with her.

Trust me, i try but he doesnt listen. Plus i think he needs to work on his personality. Nothing about his personality draws women to him.

Now that I think about it, it kind of is. I sometimes get hit on by the worst one liners and it's actually pretty sad and pathetic. That's why the key to any male and female interaction is the APPROACH! Don't come off like a perv and sleezeball and maybe a girl can give you a second look. Believe me, we'll appreciate the effort even more

Oh boy...

This guy behind me in my schools library is trying his absolute hardest to get this chick... I can hear him behind asked if she wanted to go for beers, but she said she had class... asked if she was hungry he'd go get her some food, she already ate, if she was thirsty, trying to impress her saying he drives a Tibouron...

I'm all for the guy trying, but if you could only see the look on this girls face, she couldn't be less interested...

Haven't had the pleasure to see these guys get shot down by a girl... Most of the time I was around my friends, the girl usually gave them their numbers...

The way I would do is:

"Hey, wanted to ask... [insert something interesting here]?"
"Maybe we can get together sometime and talk a bit more on the subject... how about coffee or a nice drive to [insert somewhere interesting here]?"

worked for the couple times I tried it... I've actually been asked out with this method twice... out of the 5 tries...

The funniest story I have about this, is about myself. Yup! I haven't always been the "I'll fuck your girl, no doubt" prototype playboy I am right now!

Once upon a time, not long ago...When I was in 7th grade, a group of us were in the cafeteria. We saw this nice looking young'un in the lunch line. One of the guys says to me: "Yo Ray, go over there and ask that girl for her 7 digits"! I was like, Oh Shit!! I was sweating it big time! I had no confidence in my game, shit, I had no game! But worse than that...hold onto something...I had no idea what he meant by "ask her for her 7 digits"!!! I'm serious as hell!! Hahaha!

Yet, like a dumbass, I still went over to her, and in my most "Charlie-ish Brownish voice, I said: "They told me to come over here and ask you for your 7 digits." She said something in the form of rejection, and the boys fell out!! Still not sure if it was more so from me asking that stupid shit, or from her saying no! All I know is, it was a long way back to that side of the lunchroom! LOL!

But truthfully, as humiliating as that was (and yes, it was), it helped me to get over my fear of approaching girls in school. Well, I did do a little of that in elementary, but that doesn't count.

Anyways, I don't really pick up chicks cuz I know a lot of chicks. But if need be I'm not too horrible. I've gotten a number like 5 or 6 times out of like 10 times i've approached a girl.

Yeah...that was like a really weird time for me right there. But it's all about keeping it real tho...shows your boy never fronts! It's the beginning of my "rags to riches" story as it relates to dating and women. The fellas that know me now always get a kick out of that story.

I mean, I was a beast by the time I was in the 9th grade believe it or not. I changed schools in the 9th. You won't believe how much that changes things! I got no love 7-8th grade. Then - kaboom!!! At the new school, the most popular girl would catch me in the hallway and slobber me down, while I felt her up! I'm pretty sure she just wanted me because I was getting looks and things from the others because she liked taller dudes, you know, I was new material, but fuck if I cared - I was becoming the shiznit! Even that wasn't how it all started though...

True story...First day of school in the 9th grade. I came in the door, fashionably late (til this very day). So, you know, not being on girls hard and whatnot, I wasn't up on the latest fashions like I should've been. I mean, I was ok, but not on point. I had some pants on that were designer, but riding a little high on the ankle! Hahaha! Anyway, as I walked in the door, a kid named Barry peeped my attire and said a "highwater" joke! Yeah, he got some laughs, and I was like DAMN, not again, not at the new school too! But...no...my destiny as Darksom1 had been cut by a different cloth than those knuckleheads, and the times were about to change, as fate decreed...because out of the blue, a sexy, sweet-looking red-bone named Ivy said "Leave him alone!! Nevermind them, you can sit right here." Word gets around like lightning, and before you know it - A STAR IS BORN!!! The rest is history...

So yeah, I went from the dude who couldn't get it right at all, to the guy standing on the sidewalk with his boys saying "pick which one you want me to go get the number from" - and getting it damn near every time!!! So if you are reading this, and you are afraid of the "approach" and are an underachiever...just remember that even I was once "mere mortal"...so take heart! Nuff said!

There's quite a lot of detail in the "just do it" part of your approach. At least, a lot of detail that not everyone is aware of. Social skills are important. Conversational skills are important. Listening skills are important. The list goes on... The more capable of that you are the better you chances are of building rapport and some form of attraction - that's not even taking looks under consideration.

Running up to a table of girls and asking one out without even introducing yourself is like landing on the beach alone on D-Day


That is hilarious.

If you ask 10 women, that you think would otherwise not have accepted your approach, what they look for or pay attention to when a man comes up to them, I bet you the majority of them say the way you present yourself and the way you carry yourself. I vibe with women a lot on the different nuances of dating and "hunting". They want respect and confidence in a man. If he hasn't bought into what he's trying to sell, how can they? Plus, if you disrespect them rght out the gate, what's in store for the later on? Now, there are other things that come into play as you go along in the conversation, but that must be at the start...

this happened at an olive garden.


we bet 50$ that one of our friends could not get this girls number sitting at the bar. so from our table we can see everything clearly, he gets up walks over sits down and orders a drink for him and her. 5 mins later the bartender walks up asks for both ids as she is looking she slides over the napkin with her number and name.The name on the napkin says Carilyn she asked for his number he gave it to her, when the bartender gave the id's back he looked over the id said Carl and the id was of a dude.

at first he was like took him about 3 solid mins after seeing the id and putting the two together. He got up said "ill brb i have to use the restroom" next thing i see him running to his car and took off.


this is what he said after seeing the id: i was like wtf why is it a dude so i asked her,she replied oh that picture it is from 5 years ago before i found my self.....why? thats when i took off.
