I wonder, should I just send tons of IMs to girls I like and ask them to go out with me? I'll admit I do seem more comfortable talking on AIM than I am in person (I tend to say stuff I may not say face to face. I dunno why).
[quote name='SpazX']I was gonna write something serious, but I think you've already figured this out yourself.
So the real way to tell if a girl likes you is to get her alone and pull it out. If she likes you it'll be ok, if she doesn't you might get arrested. That's the risk you have to take, it's what every man does.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't try to get myself arrested for a girl though, but I may do a few crazy things.

[quote name='Filbert']I'm ashamed to say I identify with TMK a lot. I never really tried to get in a relationship and at this point I wouldn't know if a girl was interested if she hit me over the head.
As far as what I do know you don't have to change yourself as far as your hobbies and interests, you just have the change the part of yourself that fears rejection to the point of never trying.[/QUOTE]
Glad to see another like me.
I was told once by someone that don't be too worried about having several games, Bulls wallscrolls and bedding, and some other nerdy/geeky things at my place because if it scares a girl away or she doesn't like you because of it, just forget about her.
[quote name='Dead of Knight']The point of the coffee is to get to know them better.

[/QUOTE]I don't drink coffee, so maybe that explains why I have social problems.
[quote name='jaykrue']And I brought that up because I figured it'd be something you could relate to hence referring to it as an 'analogy'. But seriously, move on. If you haven't already made your move at this point, find a new toy to play with. Girls can size up a guy in an instant. She'll know within the first 30 seconds whether or not she's gonna hook up w/ you. It's that whole first impression thing which is why you've got to learn to acclimate yourself to social situations and learn to read non-verbal cues. If you actually want to get into a relationship w/ a girl, even a serious one, this is a highly important skill to master. Without it, you'll remain clueless and (figuratively) impotent for the rest of your life.
The reason why I say to date a lot of girls at once, especially for you, is that you need to catch up to the rest of your male peers. I don't mean tallying how many girls you've scored; I mean knowing how to interact/deal w/ persons of the opposite gender. By dating a few girls at once, you effectively multiply the experience you learn and you catch up quick. You learn what kind of girls you like, what kind of flaws you're willing to put up with (and trust me you will find flaws), better seduction methods, and yeah, if you reach that point, better, more fun ways to have sex. If you decide to date one by one (the traditional way), it'll take forever to learn what you like and tolerate in the person you'll eventually decide to be with till you die. And the skills you learn from many girls will eventually benefit that special someone. Once you've learned how to be an effective lover and partner in a relationship, it becomes more enriched and gets better as time goes on.[/QUOTE]So basically, are you saying, if I don't impress a girl within the first 30 seconds, I have no chance with her even if I ask her another day (when she's single or something the entire time)? I try to get a good first impression by dressing nice, shaving as often as possible (when I'll be near women), etc. But then when I talk, I may get a little sweaty, constantly stutter when talking, and just not make a whole lot of sense.
I think the method you are giving is excellent, but I'd be worried that I'm disrespecting a girl cheating on her (or dating several girls at the same time). Or is dating several girls different than dating several girls while being in a relationship (Yeah, I think that's it)? I have a REALLY bad shyness problem and I may have some social anxiety mixed in. However, I'm thinking I just need to go to a party, and maybe have a drink (that may help), to talk to women and hopefully get into dating a few. I duuno how many have met a girl over alcohol.
Oh yeah, to add to the story a little (going back through my old memory), when I met her my Freshman year in college, I didn't really consider her a girlfriend (more so a friend). She mostly treated me that way at the beginning, saying she wanted to hook me up with some girl (which was a friend of hers). But my Sophomore year, she stopped saying that and sometimes acted like we were dating. I dunno, I'll never understand women.
