Goofed up badly. Dem girls!
Been waiting for a chance to talk to a girl, maybe get her interested in me, ya know? I am like, 20 here.
I wrote a compliment on a piece of paper and gave it to the first person that caught my eyes.
I left, without giving her my name or number, just walked up, gave it to her and left. I have no idea how that is suppose to "help" me get a girl, so don't ask.
You know what happened? Next day I saw her AGAIN at a downtown festival. Strange! I quickly wrote two little jokes on there and wrote "nice to see you again!" and gave her the note the same way, and walked away. Later that evening she found me and started talking to me. Obviously this is my moment to win her over. Green eyes. Adorable.
Here's a pro tip, when you get the chance that you've been waiting for, don't blow it. Like I did. I completely stuttered and cowardly flabbergasted this conversation. All I really said was "hi" and "how are you" and nodded here and there.
I need practise. Sorry if this felt like a blog, I felt like sharing a story. You should share a story too.

So you have the confidence to write a note and just give it to her without saying anything but when you actually get the chance to speak normally you screw yourself over? Ouch, that sucks man. Either way, I think you just got caught off guard that something as quirky as that actually worked and she approached you because of it. Next time you try something do it with the idea that it is going to work so that you don't get surprised if it does.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Marinade [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darkm0d I've never understood why guys are so bad at holding a basic conversation with a woman. [/quote] My honest guess at this point is that the guys who do that over think everything they are going to say and end up second guessing themselves to the point where they just don't say anything. Remember guys, women are people too. Don't over think what you're going to say, just be yourself.[/quote] There was a Ted talk on something like this. It was by, Phillip Zimbardo I want to say. But he basically said that guys are becoming so desensitized from so many forms of media (mostly -blam!-) that they can't connect socially/emotionally with women.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dpking1 That's actually really sad. She was clearly interested if she approached you. You literally had it in the bag.[/quote] Yes I understand this point. I clearly dun goofed up. I knew I had it in the bag when she approached me but dear me, I haven't had much practise talking lately and well, I am skeptical of how I sound [I take speech therapy], so I am uncomfortable. I tried to say a few things and she would tell me to repeat them [hence the note thing]. Either way, I don't sound that bad, just can't do certain letters such as Ms or Ns or sometimes Ps. To all the other people that shared their stories, I appreciate it. Some are really sad though, and one I think had a happy ending, very nice!

So, obviously, writing a compliment on a piece of paper and a few jokes is the best way to get peoples' attention. Not odd to be getting those when you have never met them before and they have never heard your voice. Duh.

I've dun goofed with girls my whole life, OP. Missed opportunities ahoy. There was a girl I was seeing for ages, we might as well have been together; it just wasn't official. I missed my chance to tell her that I wanted it to last and she went off with another guy. Nice guy, too, I don't hold it against him or anything. He could probably have made her happier anyway. That's probably the most notable, poignant and recent example.

Bro, you want girls? Just take your -blam!- off, pour glitter upon yourself, then go stand outside in the sunlight with a dumb founded look on your face. Works like a charm.

I got a really bad one, so bad that i am still feeling the awkwardness from it. first of all i am from Britain. 2 years ago i met this really cute girl from new mexico at a festival and we spent a few days ago and we were making really good progress and becoming good friends and then she left without a trace. Now last saturday i met her again with her older sister, i started with a "hi" and then they both looked at me and said "hi" back to me, god her voice was so nice afterwards i just asked how they were and where they are in america now (they are now in California) and got the smallest responses back from them so in the end we all just sat on a bench not talking until they walked of with no goodbye from them I Was gutted!

Don't be afraid to talk to girls OP, there are a whole lot of them so don't worry about screwing up. Just be yourself.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ZealousAnubis09 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tartan 118 I dun goofed a few weeks back. Should've asked the girl out. By the time I mustered the balls, she'd left the place. Hopefully she'll be back at some point.[/quote] Should have used ketchup.[/quote]Clever.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Cheese Lady ok, jokes and compliments are awesome. But the "nice to see you again" would creep me the -blam!- out.[/quote]Really? I think the whole concept of them being on paper in general is pretty creepy. Especially if we are no longer in middle school.

doing better than me OP. I always second guess the girls I'm interested in. Usually dispelling that interest when they tell me they have a boyfriend in conversation even though I never asked.

Ouch. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kciduoyreksewmai the saturday just gone i met a girl i really clicked with. she was 22, i'm 18. she had just finished a course at university, the strange thing was the course she had just finished was the same course i am starting in september, weirder still i am doing it at the same university. by this point i thought it more than than just chance, this was fate. we get talking, turns out we have a lot in common, similar tastes in music e.t.c. anyway, it gets to the end of the night, we are walking home when i move in for a kiss, she stops me and says "there is something you should know". she then utters the 4 word you never want to hear: "i have a boyfriend" oh, i reply with. she then tells me that she had a wonderful night and that we should do it again as friends.

I was disgusted. A 20 year old handing out [b]notes[/b] to pretty women he sees. You sounds like a 12 year old who lost a bet.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] idiotsbuyCOD [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HyperWiz I wrote a compliment on a piece of paper[/quote]We're back in the sixth grade i see.[/quote] Actually i thought that was kinda sweet. It'd remind her of a more innocent time perhaps, and it sure as hell beats awkwardly asking for her number. I doubt anyone else will be doing this, so it'd make you stand out from the rest of the male competition, assuming there is any.

I thought the note thing was kinda cute and quirky. Go find some girls to practice hitting on normally, master conversation, then implement another quirky scheme and this time follow it through. Go get 'em tiger.
