[QUOTE=thisispain;29145009]no-one's boring, you could make minecraft into great conversation if you know how maybe minecraft is a bit of a stretch...[/QUOTE] Funny story actually: a bunch of the girls at my college play minecraft. We got everyone addicted lol. [QUOTE=Maximo13;29145002]What would be good things to talk about?[/QUOTE] Talk about things you know.
Girlfriend's birthday next week, considering one of these two necklaces but I'm not too sure which. I'm thinking the balloon one might be a bit jingly to wear out. Both are made from sterling silver but they're not very expensive. Any opinions on which is nicer?

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;29146938]What the fuck date do I take a girl out on if I have absolutely no money? I've been trying to figure this out for days.[/QUOTE] Go to the mall and walk around a bit. Go to the park and hang out in the nice spring weather. You don't need money for a date, all you have to do is be there with your girl.
[QUOTE=FlakAttack;29147109] Talk about things you know.[/QUOTE] They don't know about things I know.
[QUOTE=Maximo13;29148095]They don't know about things I know.[/QUOTE] Then go somewhere they would. Join clubs that are into your kind of stuff. If you're looking for mechanics, a computer expo is probably not the best place to find them.

[QUOTE=thisispain;29145009]no-one's boring, you could make minecraft into great conversation if you know how maybe minecraft is a bit of a stretch...[/QUOTE] Hey I was discussing Minecraft with a friend and the girl I like was there and started asking me about it. My cousin's girlfriend plays it. GIRLS AND MINECRAFT: IT CAN HAPPEN [editline]13th April 2011[/editline] Then again my cousin's girlfriend has Asperger's so she is the Minecraft player stereotype
Well, I liked a girl in our school. She's awesome, her blue eyes charmed me at first glance she gave me. What to do to go out with her? Rape is the only method of conversation I know, is there any others?
[QUOTE=FlakAttack;29148137]Then go somewhere they would. Join clubs that are into your kind of stuff.

I am kinda passive.
You don't have to share the same interests with people. The girl I've been dating loves photography and painting. I love fighting and sports. We still have long conversations about her. I ask her stuff about photography, she asks me stuff about fighting. Nothing says you can't connect with someone that doesn't share the same interests as you.

Anyways, will try to do it tomorrow and will come to the thread if I need more help.
If you talk about anything with enough passion and confidence, people will listen and be interested. As has been said, you don't have to have identical interests with someone to talk to them; quite simply ask them about what they're interested in, and find ways to relate that to yourself so you don't end up asking questions endlessly, and actually have something to contribute as well. As to your original question of how to flirt, really you just have to be more fun and playful. Start with general conversation about whatever, just make small talk, and gradually open up to each other with your respective interests or opinions or whatever. Keep the conversation fun, make her laugh, make jokes and be funny, but don't be a clown. It's also great to tease her and pick fun at her, but don't do this excessively. Make jokes at her expense, don't be afraid to cross boundaries, just make sure you're saying it jokingly and through a smile. Of course, don't just outright insult her, that isn't funny. When she's playfully hitting you and giving you that "I can't believe you just said that" look whilst laughing hysterically, then you're doing well. Body language is key as well. Lean back, appear relaxed and inviting. Smile, and maintain eye contact, but don't stare. Be comfortable with touching, physical escalation is a huge part of flirting if you want to take it any further. Touch them briefly as you're talking, initiate high fives or hugs, or lead them by their hand or arm. You want to break the personal space barrier and show that you're comfortable with touching and being touched. The most important thing when it comes to flirting is to not take it seriously. Be natural, don't try too hard, and just have as much fun with her as you can. Don't worry about where it ends up, you're just flirting with someone and it might not go anywhere. It's a lot of fun when you get comfortable with it, and once you do you'll find yourself flirting with every girl you talk to, regardless of if you're interested in her or not, just because it's a fun way to talk to girls. I often catch myself teasing members of my own family just because it comes naturally now when interacting with females. All the best.
Thanks a lot everyone. As said, I will ask more questions, whether I succeed or fail, and I've already read Mav's guide, so while it probably will hurt when I get rejected, it's still more experience. Thank you a lot again.

[editline]13th April 2011[/editline] Oh also today I was sitting on top of this grand piano, and I was hesitant to get on because it seemed unstable. Then this other girl jumps on next to me and I was about to say "I don't think this can support the extra weight" before I caught myself.
[QUOTE=Catdaemon;29146938]What the fuck date do I take a girl out on if I have absolutely no money? I've been trying to figure this out for days.[/QUOTE] You don't need money. Go far a walk (works if you can hold a conversation well).
[QUOTE=Dysentery;29147871]most important question : how long have you been with her?[/QUOTE] Month and a half, known her for a year or two. As I said, they're not expensive but they'd appear more thoughtful than buying her a DVD or something. Anyway, opinions on them? I'll buy one once I get home tonight.

I enjoy this method because I am a joker, and because of it, all the girls love me. Unfortunately "they love me" means "we're friends, potentially close friends, but only friends."
Out of curiosity, what do you guys do to make sure your breath doesn't smell like the pits of Tartarus?
Mouthwash? Mints?
I know how, I'm just wondering what direction you guys take.
[QUOTE=DoctorSalt;29158867]Out of curiosity, what do you guys do to make sure your breath doesn't smell like the pits of Tartarus?[/QUOTE] brush and floss that's all i do at least, and then i just have a habit of chewing gum because i get anxious if i don't have something to fiddle with in some way or another
Personally, I go hardcore and keep a fucking toothbrush in my backpack :v:
[QUOTE=DoctorSalt;29158867]Out of curiosity, what do you guys do to make sure your breath doesn't smell like the pits of Tartarus?[/QUOTE] Free the Titans and lead them in a war against the Olympians.
I floss and brush ever morning and night. I also chew a lot of gum. And if I don't have gum, I chew on something else like plastic (bad habit) which normally actually does help my breath a little.
All I do is brush once a day.

-snipeffinlate- I just feel like a hygiene question is just dumb.
I brush/floss regularly and try to stay away from onions and garlic (with the exception of the occasional shawarma, but then I know to prepare for those lol).
