Yes.


Whats the problem, like what goes through your mind when you get scared?

"What the hell shall I say?"

That's what I think anyway. Or:

"She's just going to think I'm coming onto her"

Say what you would say to any other person. You have friends, I assume. How do you greet them? Or how do you greet acquaintances?


A casual "hey" isn't hard and isn't coming onto, unless its a certain tone and context.

I think O was considering posting the same thing. But upon reflection realized that it wouild be quite un-mod like and was very glad to see that someone else, myself, had gone and posted what he was going to post for him.

So he gets to laugh at it and not feel hippocritical.

But that's just a theory.

Well the best, most positive, and surefire thing would probably be "Hello" or some variation of that word or greeting phrase.

Bit different when it's a shop assistant though.

Well you mould to the environment. You ask about a game, thats her job after all. You converse with her. You ask about her interests in games, from the game you were talking about, from that you can talk about both your interests. And once you are talking about her own interests its like a snowball, it will just keep rolling as long as you stay casual and nice and distanced.

Yea, you're right.

That makes it easier because then you would have an actual reason to talk to her besides the fact that she is a female and you think she's attractive.

Guess I could try again next time, which is, I don't know when....

The point is just thnk about the situation. Most people are happy if people show an interest in them, just don't overdo it.

Nice one, thanks.

Fail.

My being "wrong" had to do with what I had recently accused you of and then apologized for, in the last pm's that I'd sent you, thinking that I was being a little too judgmental of you.

It turns out that I was wrong, and my previous accusation seems fitting.

You told me I was being awful. Terrible.

Inhumane.

That was a simple jest.

Things that I find depressing?

That I will never see the earth in a thousand years; that one day I will be an old man who has only his stories of life to tell; that some people never had a proper chance in life (born handicapped, mentally/physically); that some people have it really rough in their younger years, grow up disturbed, live life in fear or anger or paranoia or hate; that my friends and I will eventually have to split up after high school in order to chase our own dreams.

Notice how most of my list DOESN'T have to do with myself.

JD, I have to agree with this. It's hard to be young and shy, and interested in girls. I've had many male friends who have been in your situation: shy, and not knowing how to talk to girls. I had always wondered why. Most girls would be flattered that someone holds interest in them, of course, unless they are bi***es and stuck on themselves. Then, they are not worth the trouble.

I'm sure you're still young (not sure how old you are), but give it time. As a friend to MANY male friends, it does get easier. *hugs*

Oh, and back on topic... things I find depressing...thinking that my children will not want to have anything to do with me when they are older. I'm good to my kids, but my biggest fear is that they will want nothing to do with me. I have seen many people abandon their parents, hate their parents and want nothing to do with them. Totally, totally sad.

No. I told you you were "laying it on a little thick, lately."

How you got "awful, terrible and inhumane" out of that, is beyond me.

I know what you're saying, my college is full of girls who are like that. But to be fair the town my college is in is known for being rough and crap. Hehe, good job the town I live in is nice and peaceful and full of the right kind of people.

And thanks.

There's a commercial about animals being beaten every day... The song in the background is "In the arms of an angel", while they show pictures of sad animals and a dog with a missing eye... That is depressing...

Reminds me of those "Pay £2 a month" ads, really annoying and depressing.

Oh, and to get back on topic, myself (and this is not necessarily to address anything I'd been talking about, until now, but it is somewhat relevant):

I find "indifference to others" depressing, both on small and large scales. I'm a pretty heavy optimist, and it really takes a lot to "depress" me, but the one thing that I can say really gets to me is when people overtly just don't care about the positions/feelings/situations/needs/opinions/whatever of other people. In smaller doses (ego-centrism, cattiness, pomp) it's nothing but a pet peeve of mine - just something that really annoys me, and makes me feel a certain pity for the offender, as well as a distaste that practically screams for me to put them in their place when I can. In more extreme cases, though, it can be as dire as cultural indifference to the suffering of people in other cultures or social groups, which is, to me, a huge stain on humankind.

Sure it's human nature to take a (somewhat) self-centered approach to aspects of life, but if there's one thing that upsets me, it's when people show that, for whatever reason, they don't seem to take other people into consideration.

Wow Oneironaut, lol, that's all I can say
