[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;46898253]I decided to try Tinder again and for once I actually matched with girls I thought were cute. And then they never messaged me back. rip[/QUOTE] Don't just say "hi" Your first message should be interesting
[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;46898817]Don't just say "hi" Your first message should be interesting[/QUOTE] I don't know what else to say without sounding like a desperate tryhard though. This is my problem with trying to flirt with girls in real life too.
"Ay bb wanna cheeki my breeki?"
you're not funny at all please stop
I don't even understand why he picks on only you
That wasn't picking on him it was a joke I would've made to anyone else on the fourm had they said the same thing.
[QUOTE=3bwii;46899015]"Ay bb wanna cheeki my breeki?"[/QUOTE] when you cheeki breeki you will not breeki for fear of cheeki.
In Chicago today for an interview with a Harvard alumni. This could really help my chances of admission. Wish me luck.
No but seriously what do I say to a girl I may be interested in dating that's more interesting than hi but doesn't immediately scream desperate loser?
Compliment her "your hair is very pretty! " " your ear rings are cute" Etc..
my personal fave 'your eyebrow game is strong'
[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;46899458]Compliment her "your hair is very pretty! " " your ear rings are cute" Etc..[/QUOTE] This is usually what I do in real life. And then I have no idea where to go from there so the girl usually gets creeped out.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;46899252]No but seriously what do I say to a girl I may be interested in dating that's more interesting than hi but doesn't immediately scream desperate loser?[/QUOTE] Have you considered using hello instead of hi? [video=youtube;I3s6TfiA8c8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3s6TfiA8c8[/video] But in all seriousness, compliments and asking them about themselves is a good way to start things off. You don't seem to be confident in yourself, so focus on finding out about the other person and seeing how you two relate. Then, use tangents and experiences to let them learn more about you, rather than focusing on your interests. Do be sure to let her know that you're a nerd and stuff, but try not to focus on it unless she sounds interested, and even then take it in moderation and try not to sperg. Also, as annoying and stupid as this sounds, don't be overeager or message back immediately unless you're having an actual conversation, as it makes you look a little desperate.

The don't message back immediately thing is something I already do, although I honestly do feel like it makes things worse for me sometimes. And I could honestly see myself being that person that says "so... do you like... stuff... and things?" because I literally have been that person before but being less awkward just comes with practice I guess. Except I don't get many chances to practice so I guess I have to put some faith in the chance that I'll find some girl who's totally into awkward nerdy guys.

The book I'm reading has perhaps one of the best warstories I've ever read in it, so I've decided to type it up for all of you guys to enjoy. From John Plaster's "SOG The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam": Sten often accompanied SOG teams in Laos and Cambodia, and it was an attempted snatch in Laos that saw perhaps the most tasteless employment of a suppressed Sten in SOG history. Those involved shall remain nameless. The team was sent in to surveil a river, beside which they found a large trail, so the team leader decided to kill two birds: He laid out a snatch ambush at a spot from which he could surveil the river, too. After a few hours, six NVA crossed the river and walked right into his ambush - but by now it was clear many other NVA were nearby. The One-Zero dared not start a firefight. But the NVA squad stopped right there, dumped rucksacks and five of them stripped to their skivvies, then jumped in the water. One NVA remained behind to guard their equipment and AKs, hardly a dozen feet from the One-Zero; it began to drizzle and the NVA guard donned a plastic poncho. The recon men heard more NVA voices; sooner or later, the'd be spotted - they had to quietly eliminate this lone NVA guard and sneak off. The One-Zero put his Sten sight on the NVA's head, but then he noticed a peculiar expression on the man's face and a bouncing movement beneath his plastic poncho. The man was masturbating. Out of some peculiar sense of decency, the One-Zero held his fire but trained his Sten on the soldier's head until the man was finished; then the One-Zero fired two silent shots, and the guard slumped forward, forever euphoric. In ten seconds the SOG team was gone, having created one of SOG's truly great campfire stories. This guy is definitely one of my favorite authors, since he was actually in SOG he's got really great knowledge of how things worked and he knows how to tell a story really well. Its also cool because he'll freely swap between talking about how SOG functioned, to stories about individual teams, to his own personal experiences, but he knows how to make it transition really smoothly.
[QUOTE]Stupideye - 6th July 2012 i would fuck his voice ;o [/QUOTE] never forget
Aight Taep I've had enough of seeing you struggling with girls so I'm going to give you some cold hard advice that you need to take to heart because nothing is going to change unless you attack the real problem. The problem isn't that you're not saying the right things, the problem is that you're not doing this for the right reasons. At all. Like, you say you're on Tinder, right? [QUOTE]No but seriously what do I say to a girl[B] I may be interested in dating [/B]that's more interesting than hi but doesn't immediately scream desperate loser? [/QUOTE] [B]Why the hell[/B] are you already thinking about dating someone who just made contact with on Tinder? That's weird and creepy and no matter what you say the girl is going to be able to tell that you're desperate. It's how girls work, man. Even over the internet it's easy to tell via the little things when someone is waaaay to invested in something. This is your problem. You feel like you [I]need[/I] to be dating someone/you need to be with a girl but [B]in reality what you need is to NOT NEED to be with a girl[/B], if you pick up what I'm putting down. [U]A girl shouldn't be the glue holding you together, rather she should be the sugar on top.[/U] You need to feel confident with yourself before you can start having fun and meaningful relationships and encounters with girls. If you have confidence problems, fake it till you make it. But do not for one second think of a girl as something you need. It's honestly pathetic to watch. Just hop on Tinder, and don't give a fuck. Message girls "Hey, hows it going?" and if they respond just strike up some fun conversations with them. "What's up?" "What are you doing tonight?" ask them about their interests, find some mutual ground, and go from them. But always, always, remember to not give a fuck. If a 10/10 girl messages you for 30 minutes but then stops, who gives a fuck? Her loss. Move on. Plenty of fish in the sea. Don't message back too fast, and don't spam them with multiple responses. Keep them guessing and keep them waiting. Good luck.

I think that part I meant more to apply towards talking to girls in real life but whatever. As for the whole Tinder part, I rarely get matches on there because apparently I'm not attractive or something so yeah, I do maybe get a little too excited about getting matched with someone on there and then I get pretty bummed out when they don't message back because it's such a rare chance that I do get a match, even when I hit like on literally everyone. I almost feel like trying to meet people in real life is a better option because as a guy you really don't get much of a chance to make the first move on Tinder when you really step back and look at it.

I already tried to have a talk with him about this on steam. (A conversation not me blathering away at him with him not messaging me back.) And the result basically came with him telling me this: "Yeah but if I don't act fast a girl will just end up losing interest in me." At that point I just gave up because I didn't know where to being with that one
[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;46900494] welp there is this thing in real life called walking up to a girl and saying "Hi" so all of my points still stand.[/QUOTE] No shit? And it usually ends super awkwardly for me and I have no idea why. I don't try to make it awkward. I don't go up to random girls saying "WILL YOU GO ON A DATE WITH ME?" I'm not that retarded. Like I can't just go up to someone and really hit things off like I see a lot of other people able to do on a pretty regular basis, I'm going to end up forcing conversation and making shit awkward because that's all I know how to do.

Tapeo no it's not fucking true, Sure if you don't talk to her for like 12 years or whatever then yeah she loses interest. But no, not asking someone out within the first 7 months or so does not mean you will never ever date her.
