I'm definitely not the smoothest talker, and I honestly think I'm kind of boring. What are things I should say to a girl whenever I initiate a conversation?

Before I get there though, I just want to say, I will usually just chicken out and never talk to a girl if I think she's pretty. I really want this to change next school semester. Could anybody please help me out?

[maquiladora]

Well, you've come to the right place.

[UnblessedSoul]

You have nice boobs miss, may I touch them?

[spiderman123]

Well I would def recommend the Confidence, Positivity thread . Some good advice there.

[Log4Girlz]

"Hey, I've been following you around for weeks. Want to visit the woods with me sometime?"

[I Push Fat Kids]

Observe and then go for it.

[SpectreFire]

Let your penis hang out to assert your manness.

Serious answer, talk to them like you talk to any human being. Don't worry about the boobs, some men have them too.

[Eideka]

"Hey, I've been following you around for weeks. Want to visit the woods with me sometime?"

I spilled my drink. :lol

[J. M. Romeo]

You have nice boobs miss, may I touch them?

This works wonders.

You can also complain about anything bad going on in a sorta positive way and take it from there.

WOW, IT'S REALLY HOT IN HERE TODAY, DON'T YOU THINK? WE PROBABLY SHOULD TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF.

Something like that.

[Hoo-doo]

Get a retail job. No seriously.

Being forced to talk to people all day every day does wonders for your people skills.

[spiderman123]

"Hey, I've been following you around for weeks. Want to visit the woods with me sometime?"

This one is almost as creepy as

"That shirt would look great on my floor. Right next to the pile of panties I stole out of your dryer. They smell like you"

[brianjones]

if you have to ask youll never know

Tons of alpha males. Of course, they're rather douchey at times, but let's just be honest, you sound like you need a bit of cockiness and swag. Just don't overdo it.

[DanteFox]

Squeeze their ass so that they know you are not to be taken advantage of.

[Dead Man]

Like people?

[Tashbrooke]

Well, you've come to the right place.

ahahahahaaha, brilliant

A great body isn't going to do shit if you can't keep a conversation going.
Still great advice for a vital confidence boost.

[shagg_187]

Hi.

[SquiddyCracker]

Just yell out at her:

"Ey shawty! Shawty! Shawty!"

Once you have her attention:

"How much?"

[Log4Girlz]

Hi.

Dude, you don't want her to run away screaming.

[BocoDragon]

Get a retail job. No seriously. Being forced to talk to people all day every day does wonders for your people skills.

Ya know.. This is true. I worked a commission retail job years ago, and I'd credit it for a transition from a rather shy personality to being the guy who always wants to talk to the whole room.

[Computer]

"Do you tip?"

[Meisadragon]

Stop thinking and just go and talk. It's okay if you mess up.

[Thunder Monkey]

The only and real thing you need to know is that you have to actually talk to them.

From there it's just not being a sputtering moron. They are human, they'll either like you or not. Putting up a facade may work, but rarely for too long. Getting passed your own insecurities is the biggest issue for beta male types like a chunk of this forum.

Everybody has swagger. With some though it's more like a sway or stagger than swagger. But I've seen it work.

[I Push Fat Kids]

GAF members are more about misanthropy than gaming sometimes

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Try doing as the eternally wise Bing Bong Brothers do.

And all jokes aside, waiters always get some.

Advice probably won't do much for you. Your best bet is to go out there, try to talk to people/girls, crash and burn a couple of times and learn from your mistakes.

The worst thing that can happen is an awkward silence and her walking away, so no biggie.

[jaxword]

Quite right, however, I guarantee 100%: if you get a great body, and girls start to flirt with YOU, all of a sudden you'll be getting that practice you need.

The only way to learn is practice, as in all things. And if you can't approach girls, then make them approach you.

Not to toot my own horn here but it gets annoying at times. A false reputation usually follows from my line of experience. Girls who solely rely on looks are not long time keepers.

[tsumineko]

Open your mouth, exhale, and while doing so make use of that larynx to change the types of sounds that come out to resemble words.

If my skinny, decayed teeth, redneckish looking cousin can still pull some lovely trim then that is little more than a superficial end.

I mean if he wants to get all studly he can. I won't stop him. But just being able to talk to the opposite sex, and not seem weird, stupid, or awkward can mean a lot more than just brawny muscle man.

[big_z]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/comedybutt...tton_Ep040.mp3

start listening at listen at 32:20 they cover since one of the cast has the same issue and they even do a hypothetical scenario. odds are it will ring home if you cant talk to girls

You have to learn to crawl before you can walk and then work up to running in the race.

Even if they're not "keepers", it's still the education and practice this fellow needs.

Of course. Confidence and charisma go a long way.

I do not think that the OP has those, and that's NOT something you're going to learn from internet strangers. You just aren't--you need real life people to emulate and learn from, like all humans do.

However, you CAN learn advice on how to work out. That's knowledge that doesn't require face to face contact to absorb.

[EviLore]

Greet/introduce and take something from the current context of what's going on and launch from there. Being smooth is not about pickup lines, but conveying yourself with confidence, which comes from experience and throwing yourself out there until you conquer your fears and doubts.

Beautiful, smart, or important people are just people. Don't put them or anyone else on a pedestal. Whatever you believe they will pick up on and tend to believe as well. Believe that you don't have a chance and you'll cower and be awkward and hinge on their every word and reaction; how would you treat someone who acted that way toward you? With respect? With attraction? Insist with yourself that you're on equal ground at worst and that you don't require anyone else's validation for being cool and worthwhile and you'll just have a conversation and not give a damn about where it might go. And then it will go where it will, not always in the direction you want by any means, but that will be okay because you're not invested in some minor interaction wih a random stranger.

but in all seriousness, good advice again.

Why does it always have to be about me with you guys?

That bad a need for asinine assplay jokes?

I mean if Evilore says it's cool, I'll play, but I was trying to help!

Speaking of advice, Mr. Lore put it much more clearly:

Keep trying. I may look like hot shit nowadays, posting different girls every few months in the show off your GF thread, but you should have seen me a few years back. I was the most awkward nerd of the entire arcade.

Like all the good things in life, it takes time and a bit of effort.

[ReiGun]

did u know that girls are people???

Whoa. This is some radical stuff right here. Tell me more.

[Log4Girlz]

Is there any scientific evidence supporting this claim?

LOL, sorry about that but its bro love, it truly is . There are tonnes of threads like these but again I totally recommend the Confidence and Positivity thread. There is a vast amount of experience from both guys and girls you can draw upon, trial and error situations as well as simple self improvement exercises.

Why does it always have to be about me with you guys? That bad a need for asinine assplay jokes? I mean if Evilore says it's cool, I'll play, but I was trying to help! edit: I still love ya spider.

Bawww thanks man

[Phat Michael]

Dude seriously. Girls are people, talk to them like you talk to your mates, why treat them any different? If you are funny/respectful/courteous to all people regardless of age/gender etc, you will never get in trouble.

Saying that, the only change i make around women is to swear SLIGHTLY less often. ( i dont use words like cunt or stiffy which are part of my regular lexicon)

Also, dont run lines on women. Just talk to them its honestly not that hard dude.

I'm mostly worried about fear and rejection. If I ever had a girl tell me that I did not have any kind of value, I would probably be depressed for weeks.
