Satine Posted at 1:56 am on Jan. 8, 2009 I does my best :P erikkk Posted at 1:53 am on Jan. 8, 2009 satine you are vereh wise Tubbz Posted at 1:50 am on Jan. 8, 2009 That's the idea, it's going to be hard to do, but go for it, anything's got to be better than wondering "what if"? Satine Posted at 1:50 am on Jan. 8, 2009 Okay, well if it's making the leap from friendship to partnership you're asking about, then I'd try this: - when you're talking to a girl, make plenty of eye contact with her (different to staring, but make sure you're regularly looking in her eyes - it's better communication and suggests you're confident). - Suggest to her that you both meet again because you enjoyed talking to her. - Give her the opportunity to speak more than listen by asking open questions. Offer a bit of information about yourself, but keep it at a ratio of about 3:1. This takes the pressure off you and leaves a feeling of mystery about you. - As for breaking the physical barrier, touch her hand or arm when you're talking to her. - Remember that there's a strong culture of 'good girls don't', which means that we feel a bit of an incentive not to have sex. However, we do still want to. If you hint at wanting to sleep with a girl and she says, 'I'm not sure', that's her saying, 'I want to but feel that it would be bad of me'. This is your cue to kiss her / whatever else is apt so that you're taking the lead. Needless to say, 'no' means no and should be honoured. You might get a yes from some uninhibited girls, but the above might be quite common. An extra tip for that is that, you could get another clue if you start to remove a girl's clothes (say, take off a scarf or undo one button on her top) and then stop. If she doesn't adjust it again for modesty then you know you can try to go a bit further. Maybe Tubbz can offer more clues, but that's about all I've got as a straight female! erikkk Posted at 1:48 am on Jan. 8, 2009 its a challenge :P but w/e Tubbz Posted at 1:46 am on Jan. 8, 2009 Even if you don't get off the drugs, just try and take a girl off somewhere on your own and go from there. Tubbz Posted at 1:42 am on Jan. 8, 2009 Even if you don't get off the drugs, just try and take a girl off somewhere on your own and go from there. erikkk Posted at 1:40 am on Jan. 8, 2009 ok tubbz thanks i got to get off de drugs i havent been able to for the past 3 years Tubbz Posted at 1:36 am on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from erikkk at 9:34 am on Jan. 8, 2009 yes i know what you're talking about satine about ecstasy being sociable and of course ive talked to manyyyyyy girls when im on E but never got with them and i of course can not think about sex obviously since i have never had sex to get addictted to it but my male hormones make me go crazyyy all i can do is just start at all the fine women that i see You don't have to have sex to be addicted to it. It's not something you want to get addicted to either, it can be a dangerous addiction. Just talk to a girl. Take her off somewhere and talk to her, even if you're not attracted to her. erikkk Posted at 1:36 am on Jan. 8, 2009 ok welllllllllllll thanks i guess erikkk Posted at 1:34 am on Jan. 8, 2009 yes i know what you're talking about satine about ecstasy being sociable and of course ive talked to manyyyyyy girls when im on E but never got with them and i of course can not think about sex obviously since i have never had sex to get addictted to it but my male hormones make me go crazyyy all i can do is just  start at all the fine women that i see Satine Posted at 1:31 am on Jan. 8, 2009 Sometimes the only answer is to tough it out - and I'm afraid that's the best answer for you. Believe me, you're not the first to have low self-esteem and you're not the last. The world isn't going to change to fit around your lack of confidence, so you're the one who has to work at it. I don't mean that to sound harsh, but if you want a direct comment on the situation then that's mine. Tubbz Posted at 1:30 am on Jan. 8, 2009 I understand you have low self esteem, what I'm saying is if you don't ask and fail once or twice, you'll never get over it, so grow some balls and ask a girl. erikkk Posted at 1:28 am on Jan. 8, 2009 once again you're having trouble fully understanding i have developed a fucking low self esteem and it just makes me scared and i chicken out its a difficult sitiuation for me and i'll feel more pathetic and just go do some drugs FUCK Most recent 15 of 32 previous replies displayed.
