I Need Help Please!! by Slyder(m): 11:34am On Dec 30, 2014
Ladies and Gents, please I don't know what's wrong with me and I really need to get over this problem.
I can't seem to summon courage to walk up to a girl i like and talk to her. Okay, I'm 24, a graduate and an IT consultant working in a reputable firm in lagos. Atleast I believe I'm comfortable, and I also believe I have the looks to get any lady I want. But the problem is 'I Judge myself before performing' on the 25th, I went to see a movie in genesis deluxe alone becos I only have few frnds(males) and they all went out with their GFs. So while waiting for the movie time, I decided to hang around. I saw many guys both ugly and handsome trooping in with so many cute/beautiful girls. I became sad and worried about my person, I saw like 2 to 3 girls I liked and wanted to approach, but I didn't have the confidence, after planning what to say in my mind, I'll just be like 'common sly this sounds boring and won't work'. Thoughts like this and even more berating ones came to my mind for over 2hrs that I waited before entering the cinema. So this new year, exactly 1st of jan, I'm planning a revolution, I need a new me, I want to share lonely times with someone who cares, please ladies and gents, I need you to tutor me on how to approach, maintain confidence, what to say, what to ask for and what to expect. Please and Please I don't need insults, I just need help. Thanks.
NB: please I chose Jan 1st becos we all know it's the most significant day in a year, so I want to start something significant in my life.

Yes. I know basically I have to walk up to them and start a convo, but the problem I have is the convo, what sort of convo? I planned something like:
Me: hello
Her: hi
Me: what's good? Hope u're having a nice time?
Her: yeah thanks, it's been fun.
Me: cool. So what are you doing?
Her: nothing exactly.
Me: okay, I have a prob that I'll like you to help me with.
Her: what's it?
Mesadbring out movie for the day collection) okay actually I came here to see a movie but I'm having a hard time choosing from this, this and this and maybe this too. If you were in my shoes, which would you go for.
Her: why not watch this?
Me: hmmm, why? Have you seen it before?
Her: no.
Me: wow!! Why not we go see it to together.
Her: would have love to but
Me: cuts in ... If its about the movie ticket, don't worry I'll get two.
....... Okay from here, my problem with the above convo is;
What if her replies doesn't correelate with this?
What if she is not interested in seeing the movie? What do I do?
Isn't it dangerous showing you have money to take her to the movies the first day you meet her?
How do I start the "I like you" convo while seeing the movie? Or before the movie starts?

Do you socialize at all?
Maybe you should ask your friends to have you match made.
So you mean no girl has flashed you green light? Even lemon green?

I don't think you're getting the purpose of the thread. Even as I've had ladies showing interest, I haven't been able to approach them. Though a lady have approached me before, I didn't like her and I told her things the way they where. 'I don't buy the frnds match making stuff, it doesn't sound secure to me.

I totally get it.
It is just that everyone knows that in this age, you really don't have to "walk up to/approach a girl".

Friendships can start at any place/time. You don't have to start saying "I like you" when you only just met. Let your actions speak.

Courage is the keyword, myself can be very shy but sometimes u got to summon all courage and do the needful. 2ndly, the fear of rejection shouldnt trip you. It can always happen, shouldnt be a biggie grin cheesy

I'm not scared of being embarrassed, I just can't let a 'lady' to embarrass and disgrace me because of 'love'. I rather keep my feelings to myself.
Re: I Need Help Please!! by LaurelP(m): 1:10pm On Dec 30, 2014
U have just one problem..fear of being turned down!
But I tell u its part of d game. Any guy who's neva been turned down by a lady is most likely a kid in d dating game. U will be turned down, rejected, embarassed and even insulted.
But u will also get lots of ladies. That's d game bro!

Brother, success sometimes requires pain and hardship... If you even want to live with a girl all the days of your life.. Be ready for the worst.. So guy, don't be ashamed of being embarrassed.. It is part of life..

All successful men have witness one form of embarrassment or the other.. Courtesy: Gej. undecided
