Guest Rogue15 Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 i believe what rhett said is right, about the doing something that'd totally embarass yourself, if u keep doing stuff like that, u get used to it, and it's not as embarassing. Good tip, yet so darn obvious. now if u really want to impress them, do something funny, like when you're at a mall, and u see one of those pools, jump in, and pick of all the quarters and give them to her.
JEDI_MASTA Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 ok this is my health class for the past like 6 wks ok here is the first thing ppl dont see you as bad as you see yourself they dont remember every little thing (like u sometimes think) so just allways remember to be yourself
Guest DarkTrooper Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 what does it matter if he has more posts then u. and plus its not like u cant flame someone just say it, just let it out
darthfergie Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 I won't do stupid things...but I talk to her...I don't know if she like me,but man...*thinks about her* so wonderful... Oh sorry about that...
Guest Tie Guy Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Umm...Dr. Rhett...Sir I've got this strange tendency to be very outgoing around my friends, yet i never talk at all around strangers or people i don't feel comfortable with. Its not as much that i'm shy, i guess, i've done musicals in front of our entire church, which would be around 1000 people at a particular service. Do you have any suggestions on how i can reach out and socialize with people i don't know?

darthfergie Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 You were??? Well why didn't you say so!!!
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Common ground's a very good place to start. Look for chances to talk to someone when the topic is something you know about. Relax, don't let them know your nervous. "Play it cool" as it were. Sherack: There's another problem, Who cares what other people think? You shouldn't. Don't approach it like your trying to ask them out on a date. Approach it like you just wanna talk to someone about a common interest or are just commenting on something. Let it grow from there. Another BIGGY is Humor. You have to use it. It breaks down barriers in almost any situation. This is how you can win them over. I've had multiple girls flirting with me at the same time just because I was making them all laugh.
darthfergie Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Ahhh...so that is why the morons in class always are hoarded by girls...because they act stupid all th time and everyone laughs at their stupidity...wow...deep man...deep...
Guest Thrawn Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Rhett, I desperately need your help! I have the same problem as myslef, err Tie Guy above. My friends? I can talk FINE to 'em! People that I don't know. . . that's another story. The problem is: i just started a new school system last year and I DON'T know everyone. . . just a few people. I don't want to do stupid things because then people will make fun of me, cause since they don't know me they'll think I'm ALWAYS like that! D'oh! I want friends but not because I act wierd all the time! HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!! BTW Sherack, good idea for a thread!
darthfergie Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 I feel for you thrawn...I moved to a new church recently...man it is taking a while to get used to everyone and them getting used to me...Rhett if you have an answer to this that sounds good to me I'll give you an award...

Hmmm... I sense a whole bunch of emotions in that. Kinda sad. I wont bother listing all of them. Thrawn, read my previous posts. They'll help you.
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Church is a great place when trying to get to know strangers because of the simple fact that your all there for the same reason. Let the conversatons flow from that reason. "And they will if you try"
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 How was I supposed to know? You seem distressed tonight fergie.
darthfergie Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 lol:D probably because I have a crush on two girls...one talks to me...the other doesn't talk much at all...I'm sooo confused *lol*

Thrawn, i'm beginning to wonder if we were separated at birth. Anyways, i just moved to a new school too, and practically the only people i know are the people that used to go to my old school. (I went to a private school that goes up to the 9th grade, so in 9 or 10th grade everyone has to disperse to the public schools) In total, i have about 15 friends at the school, period. And since i'm an intravert by nature, i have trouble meeting new people. (not that i really have much of a problem with that, i like my little group of friends, we all get together for church/youthgroup/small group.)
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Its a good thing that your smart and play a sport.... if you didn't youd be an outcast from society lol j/k im going to University next year so Ill have the same problem.
Eets Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Master Rhett, I am a shy person, but not really. I am completely and totally comfortable around people, I'd flash em and I wouldnt care. The problem is, I just can't TALK to them. Nothing comes to my mind on what to say or how to start a conversation... I know the basic things.. find a common ground, talk about the weather, approach and deliver... I just don't know how to talk to anyone unless it's on a computer... I realize I'm a nerd, but the limit to my social skills are the forums.
Guest Worf Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Ok, here is my problem. Im in love (yes really) with a girl who I hardly ever see, her parents are very strict about school work and such. Just when I think im over her, something comes along and reminds me of her (such as finding her photo) or I get to see her for about 10 minutes (that is such torture). Iv tried getting to know other girls but they tend to just end up being annoying very quickly. Any ideas? Worf

Well there IS a girl I've been eyeing for a while in my computer class... but I don't know if she likes computers or not.
Eets Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 hehehehe, sherack, I have an idea. Find out what she likes from one of her friends, something like her favorite animal or flower, and send her something on the PC that has to do with it
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Well, I know nothing about her. Don't know her friends, her tastes, email address, nada. Maybe she already has a boyfriend! Yeah, that's yet another problem. Did this ever happen to you guys: finding out the girl you're fond of already has a boyfriend?
Guest Tie Guy Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 Originally posted by Luke Skywalker Its a good thing that your smart and play a sport.... if you didn't youd be an outcast from society lol j/k im going to University next year so Ill have the same problem. Yeah, i'm hoping to get a few more friend when tenni season starts in Feburary. However, i've found being smart doesn't get you many friends, well, at least the kind i want. Take Latin III for example, i've got a 100 average in that class, so everyone around me want to cheat off of me, which i don't like. Also, when i tell my existing friends, especially the girls (who aren't particuraly bright) that i got straight A's, a 100 on a test, etc. they typically say thing like "I hate you" or things of the sort, even though they asked me first. I'm not normally one to flaunt my grades. But what can i say, i've only known most of them for 11 years.
