Ok, I just needed to ask this...

[Good Dreams]

A seventeen old guy (me) never had a girlfriend in his life.

Give a reason or more for this to happen.

[barrk]

1) He could be shy.
2) He could be unsure of himself and it's obvious he has no self-confidence.
3) He could be focused on where he's going and not have time for a girlfriend.
4) He could be one of those people who just aren't interested in having a girlfriend but many friends that are girls is just fine with him.
5) He could be totally obnoxious.
6) He could be gay.

Definatly not gay. The porn sites I visit aren't gay. *oops*

*ahem*

obnoxious?

Sorry, but my hands are dirty from cooking and I can't pick the dictionnary.

[barrk]

a total butt head, ass-hole, annoying person

[barrk]

I didn't read the part that said (me)......sorry....I know you're not gay and I don't find you obnoxious at all!

[Arbiter]

That's a pretty comprehensive list of reasons.

You're not as green as you are cabbage looking are you Katie?

So, Good Dreams. Which do you think it is?

PS - I have a friend who is 22 now and has never had a girlfriend. The reasons I believe apply to him are...

1 through 3, 5 (and I'm beginning to think he's a closet 6)

[Good Dreams]

1 and 2, but I already knew those reasons. Isn't shyness normal in all people?...

Does this mean I look like a cabbage?

No. Not all people. I've never been particularily shy! I always found it easy to talk to people. Say hello and then sit back and listen! The key is to listen first, find something interesting to say about the topic they are discussing. But mostly the key is to start by LISTENING! Then it's easy to overcome the shyness because you have something to add to the conversation.

[chrisjk]

It has been proved (by who I don't know) that humans are shy/cautious by nature, but some people are better able to suppress it (consciously or otherwise) than others.

It's a very old Northern saying, meaning you're fairly wise in the ways of the world.

Just don't ask....

[parksie]

Why?

[Jethro]

Hey, lets pass the hat around and get Goodreams a hooker for the night Er, we are only joking about blowup sheep, the girls you are approaching probably aren't being turned on by your plastic friend.

[Jethro]

Katie just thought of this....................the Erin situation. Lets face it GD clearly is intelligent, cooks, and knows at least two languages. But he doesn't like sport.....a gay thing

[denniswrenn]

GD is too old..... Erin's only 14(I think)... but.. *ahem*... *ahem*.... I'm not 17... or 16... or 15.. or 13... *ahem*...

[parksie]

Maybe you should get that throat seen to. Just what have you been putting down there

Is this some sort of American in language that the rest of us are unaware of. And how do you know Dennis geography is bad. I heard that everything is big in Virginia.

[barrk]

He's on the East Coast and we're on the West Coast.....I'm not having my baby doll go that far away from me!

[SurfDemon]

GD,

Don't worry about it. You have plenty of time to have women screw up your life..... oops, did I say that out loud?


Now the women in the forum are probably going to disagree with these tips, but in my experience they have always stood me in good stead.

Seriously though, it's no big deal. 17 is young. Most guys don't start really seriously dating until 19-20 ish. When they're at University, they have "some" cash, a car, don't live at home etc. Then you'll be beating them off with a sh*tty stick (i.e. there will be loads of girlfriends).

Believe me you have plenty of time! This is normal.

As for being shy, I am a very shy individual (believe it or not), but I know that I can control it and that it is easier to act the extrovert than suffer in silence. Therefore I appear as an extrovert. I get really nervous before meetings, interviews etc., but once I get in there I'm fine.

This is the same with dating. It's normal to get really nervous, if you go on a date and stay nervous, then the date will be a flop. You have to control your fear, pretend that you are out with some mates. Don't expect the date to lead anywhere, if it does, then thats a bonus, but just enjoy the afternoon/evening for what it is. Be confident that you'll have fun. For instance if the date is becoming painfully quiet, don't be afraid to slap your hands together and say "this is boring, lets go do something else. What do you fancy :- Pub, Pictures, Dancing, Meal etc."

Chances are she will be glad for a change of scene. If you make her suffer through the date as well, then you are doomed to failure.

The trick with dating is to talk about yourself as little as possible. Ask her questions about herself and her family. What sort of pets she has, whats her favourite joke. Intersperse this with little things about yourself, but always make this a link to another subject.

e.g. "Look, there's a labrador. We always had labradors when we were growing up, they're very affectionate. Do you have any dogs, or are you a cat person?" (It's very appropriate to spit on the ground when you say cat person. If she is, then walk out and leave her to pay the bar bill ). Seriously though, what womans heart doesn't melt a little bit at the thought of a labrador puppy...... but don't go too mushy on her. Their is a fine line between being a big softy (although not in ALL departments) and being a total wet wimp.

Always laugh at yourself. Don't be afraid to tell a really embarresing story about yourself. (As long as it's not the time you were caught spying on the girls shower room - nothing too pervy). Go with something that happened when you were 5 or 6. If she makes a joke about you, chuckle and give some abuse back. Never tell a story that makes you look good ("I won the noble peace prize in 2000"), this always comes out lame. She'll find your good points out in time.

Smile alot.

Slag her off gently. Women might want a bit of praise, but don't overdo it. Go with the "Well, you Northsiders are a strange lot" type of slag. DON'T go for the "You're fat, ugly and you smell" sort of slag you would use on your mates.

Finally, never underestimate the power of alchohol. It is the greatest leg spreader known to man!


I hope some of this helps,

SD

[Jethro]

Your right SD,

If a good looking girlie buys me six or so beers down the pub, she all ways knows that she can have her evil way with me. So be careful of chicks bearing gifts in pubs GD.

The correct answer to the question

Does this mini make my bum look big?

Is of course

Naw, it always looks big.

or another one

Do l look good in this Frock?

Well you can't expect miracles from a dress honey.

With tips like this, you are guaranteed not to lose your house, car, and money to some hustling bimbo.
