I feel like bringing this thread back to life might be a good idea. I got a story developing as of the moment but in the mean time I want members to be aware that this is here.

I approve of this bump as long as it's handled appropriately.

T'is good to keep it open. We're all friends here, so why not have this open in order to help those friends? (:

"gotta reel in dem honeys"

So. Relationships. There is girl named Rachel in my engineering class. We almost never converse, due to my fear of women, and we are usually always on different sides of the spectrum. Shes super upbeat and cheerful, while I'm quiet, reading a book to avoid talking to the other filthy humans, and the opposite of good looking. She usually smiles and waves when I pass her by in class, but i'm 90 percent sure it's always someone behind me. I've watched enough teen movies to know it's always someone behind you. Although, when class is about over, and everyone meanders around the door, waiting for the bell to ring, she constantly stares at me. It spooks me, because I know for a fact that I'm nowhere near attractive, as looking in the mirror and my pictures in every yearbook have taught me. Perhaps she is simply marveling at how unbelievably stupid my face looks.

seems like you're unsure whether or not she's in to you.

i'd suggest you find an excuse to have a conversation with her and try to gauge her reactions a bit. for example, eagerness to perpetuate a conversation (that is, as opposed to short one-word "conversation-killers", gives detailed responses, asks you questions, provides topics to talk about, etc) can be a decent indicator that, at the very least, she isn't repulsed by you and in fact enjoys your company to some extent. which is a great start

another piece of advice: if you're shy and quiet, don't be afraid to actually make that known. laughing about your own personality flaws is a great way to demonstrate that they don't rule your behaviour.

As scarecrow said, don't be afraid and certainly never doubt yourself. Take a deep breathe and confront the lovely lady, spark up a conversation! When you do talk to her, make yourself interesting, don't give half-hearted responses. You should make her feel comfortable, shift attention onto her and act interested, ask about her hobbies and find out If the two of you have anything in common. If so, you can advance further and build upon those similarities.

I wish you the best of luck (: (Keep us updated, tiger ;) )

It's simple! Casually stride up to her, lean in, and whisper succulent things in her ear like, "EYO BABY U WANT SUM FUK?"
Works 9 out of 10 times.

Otherwise, no one stares at people because they don't like looking at them, mang. Just ask her a simple question like if it's you she's always waving at, and judge her response. Try and relax a bit though if you can. People aren't as scary as they seem to be :)

Thank you devour, I've been looking for some good content to post in my signature since I joined. This will certainly suffice.
And thanks for the Help, guys. I'll try talking to her on monday. uuuuh. Maybe tuesday. Better make it Junior year.

Oh the mind games, I live for them but they can tug on your heartstrings. Don't forget to compare it to her normal demeanor, if shes happy and smiling around everyone doesn't mean everyone gonna be riding the D train.
Also I've known some girls to actually speak less to guys they fancy or avoid eye contact, they can never come up with a good reason when I ask them to explain.
Also If you admit that you're shy and quiet don't say that you're not confident. People can be fairly confident and quiet, its not a bad trait to have. Pretending you have a bit more confidence than you do in this case would help.

But yeah definitely speak to her, whats the worst that can happen? Nothing. You seem like a decent guy, I know it can be hard but try to speak to her like you would a good mate (except different kind of jokes) and not some girl you're nervous about. Also speak to her about things, don't accidentally speak about other people. You'll do fine!!

Why did she hit you?

She realized he had more than one account on an online forum and probably just couldn't trust him anymore.
