Fudge Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I get you, one of these 'you want the ground to open up' kind of moments? That is quite embarrassing, although I'm sure she meant well even if she should've kept her mouth shut. She was probably trying to embarrass her workmate for a laugh and just saw it as a bit of fun I understand though that must've been a bit cringeworthy to say the least. Yeah, it was the fact I was 'trapped' in the chair and couldn't get away from the torment. I've got a feeling I was hungover at the time as well, which only added to the pain! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a feeling I was hungover at the time as well, which only added to the pain! The inane buzzing from the trimmer can't have been pleasant? I can imagine getting a haircut hungover would be pretty shit, they yank your head around, pull your hair back sharply and spray you like an elephant's bath. Plus trying to focus on what the barber is saying to you above all the aforementioned carry on. Thanks Fudge, something to avoid eh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Probably something that has been posted before, but I have a distinct lack of self confidence when it comes to girls. There's a girl at work, and every time I see her she smiles at me, and I think if I spoke to her maybe something could happen... But I don't have the confidence to even speak to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be like that, but at some point about 18 months ago a switch just seemed to flick somewhere and since then I've been able to talk to even the hottest girl in a club (etc) no problems. This may have been more down to drink, but when I saw my now girlfriend in a club for the first time she was standing beside the dancefloor with her friends and I just walked up to her and said 'Wow, you're really beautiful'. Until shortly before that time period I'd never have had to bottle to do anything like that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Probably something that has been posted before, but I have a distinct lack of self confidence when it comes to girls. There's a girl at work, and every time I see her she smiles at me, and I think if I spoke to her maybe something could happen... But I don't have the confidence to even speak to her. Annoyingly The Gray Girl always finds it easy to talk to girls (well, in the last few years anyway), but is terrible at moving the conversation on to anything more serious. Lack of practice basically. Edited to add, The Gray Ghost envies Fudge. Edited May 29, 2009 by The Gray Ghost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am also rather rubbish at talking to girls initially, it's like that in clubs too. I tend to rely on student nights when all the slags are out in force on the dancefloor I'm fine when I know the girl though, it's the initial part where I stumble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tricky one mate. I think it's safe to say we've all been there where we just freeze in that situation, even more so if you really like this girl DHD. It's easier said than done, but if you see her a lot at work and there is an opportunity then go for it. You don't have to even 'chat her up', if you've never spoken to her before just say something like "I've seen you around but I've never actually caught your name...?" and it should flow from there. Even if it's smalltalk just now then it's still a good start. Just be lighthearted and pretend it's not a big effort, and of course just be genuine and nice. Don't try too hard or hit her with any lines just yet. Best of luck, you'll be grand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just go for it die hard doonhamer.....We don't bite On times I've actually been actively chatted up by a girl (well, they have started the conversation and something has gone on to happen) their ice breaking lines have been more bizarre than anything you'd ever hear a guy say. On overhearing me mention the fact that I did something Geography related a girl at the next table came over, stood by our table nervously for a few second and asked ' errrrrrrr.......how far does the Antartic ice record go back?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like chatting up guys.. they should never have to do all the hard work. I don't think i've found myself saying anything stupid although alot of guys are taking back and don't know what to do when you talk to them at first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 See I have to say, I wouldn't mock DHD for his lack of confidence (hardly likely to help the situation, is it?!) but it does puzzle me why guys are feart from chatting up girls. Fair enough, we've all frozen at some point and looked daft, but at least at that stage you've made the first step. I'm, sure girls would find it bizzarre to know that guys get like that before attempting to just talk to them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think i've found myself saying anything stupid although alot of guys are taking back and don't know what to do when you talk to them at first. She'd seen a documentary on Global Warming a night or two before and was genuinely interested in it, so we moved to another table and actually had a really good chat for a good few hours. I find myself talking to girls in pubs and clubs all the time. I think it helps that my 5 best female friends are all extremely good looking, so I'm comfortable around hot girls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
