Seems very Christian to me. Hell, add pedo in there and he could make a fine catholic bishop.

Why do I even bother with this thread. I’ll take everything like a grain of salt. I just remembered how none of you know me and at this point I don’t give a shit and will learn for myself what works or not.
Lighten up kid. Yes some posters threw some shots at you but not in a mean spirited way.
There is some good advice here, did you miss it?
There’s no real formula for this, just general guidelines and common sense (which I lacked when I was your age so I get it).
Besides, not all girls like the same things and the same boys.
Get to know them. See which ones you like better besides just looking pretty after knowing them, It will be easier to engage in a conversation then.
Also, don’t take shit or let yourself be used, though. Establish some boundaries. The pussy is powerful and some girls will manipulate you into oblivion if you don’t show some spine.
Yeah I saw the advice I just re read it
RampantBadger pissed me off
There isn’t. It’s the same as the right way to text other humans.
Stop asking people out through texts. There’s no physical cues for you to pick up on and you have difficulty reading between the lines in text conversations. You are setting yourself up to fail.
Practice talking to girls in person. Try to pick up on which ones are interested in you and which ones aren’t. Your success rate will be much higher this way.

The thing that catches my attention is a tone of…I don’t know, passive-aggression, maybe? Like you’re complimenting, sort of, but it all sounds backhanded. Also, BIG no on mocking or showing disinterest in desperate, dying people, e.g. Sudan.
Also, you keep mentioning your sense of humor, both to posters here and in the text exchange you posted. You should not be the one pointing out how funny/cool/smart you are; it’s for others to note. Cato the Elder said: “I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one.” Be like Cato.
Lastly, I’ll 50th what the other 49 have said; learn the art of conversation in person, where you can (learn to) read body language. You’re hiding behind the screen.
The legendary Angry Chicken would tell guys who couldn’t get anywhere to start talking to people. Anybody - men, women, girls, old people - just start conversations everywhere you go, and get comfortable. This also allows you to see what works with people. At the grocery store, church, pool or lake…talk to people.
You sound like a great kid and I’m sure you’ll look back on this and laugh someday. Good luck!

How was rampant badger the one who pissed you off, I came back fairly drunk from a party last night and was a straight asshole to you, and @jshaving was absolutely right in implying that my second comment was unfair. Just wondering how I slipped through the cracks there…

I don’t even know. I guess I got sour from all of this. I ended up laughing at the joke rereading it.
Quite possible. Now that I’m coherent, I can rephrase my dickish responses. You have time to work on yourself, so don’t just take this time to lift weights and blame the high school girls for your shortcomings. Interact with people and don’t try so hard to be cool. Otherwise, seriously - you will spiral into a place where you avoid women forever.

Exactly, and you should react the same to your efforts with girls! Not to disregard it as a joke but it shouldn’t affect you this much. Try to see what went wrong, to gather clues from the girls, and brush it off of you. Go to the next target a little bit better!
That’s what I’ll be trying to do. I have to get back in the game, and even though I’m 29 I have zero game and confidence (all my girlfriends but one, since I was 17, made the first move)

Bro, you’re shredded as fuck. Just stroll into the local athletique planete shirtless holding a baguette and an expensive piece of cheese, which is obviously a French mating ritual, and you’ll be drowning in women.

After reading your tough love post. I lose my rights to being upset over a miniscule rejection.
Still I have no game ahah so unless there’s a nice, single girl with balls that aren’t afraid of getting what they want (like my exes) this is not enough.
I’m literally clueless! This tuesday, after getting my heart broken, I actually went out and it was a night of debauchery. And there was a girl really interested in me but I didn’t even notice. Her friend had to say it to my friend, afterwards, when it was too late ahah (also since I’m a black cat, I bumped into my ex and my friends at tje very first bar, the same day she destroyed me. Ffs give me some rest!)
Tlgains I kissed my first girl at 17. You’re not a failure! At least you’re trying, keep trying, learning, having fun and it will happen!

Have you looked at your local powerlifting meet? Apparently, they are all competing in women’s powerlifting.

As a shy dude I always appreciated girls that make the first move. Unfortunately those have not worked for me long term.
Giving off some signs? Great.
Chasing me somewhat agressively? All turned out to be batshit crazy.
Ahah I only had long-term, and I was lucky to never have a batshit crazy gf, but 2 of my best friends got one, and damn that was ugly.
Lol I remember last yearI was in the school library doing something for a project. Some girl came over to me saying her friend thought I was cute. She pointed to her but since i’m kinda retarded sometimes I didn’t know who she was pointing to. I think I do now tho cause sometimes I would notice her looking at me in the hallway during the school year.
