Making a Change, My Story
« Thread Started Today at 7:27pm »
Hello, guys I would just like to introduce myself, and explain my situation so maybe you guys can help steer me in my journey
I am going to be a junior at my local high-school. Basically my freshmen year I was a really weird kid that never talked to girls and hung out with the computer geeks/weirdos / had no friends afterschool(played WoW...).
My sophomore year over the summer I kinda evolved a little, I started taking salsa dance lessons which helped my social skills a little bit. During my sophomore year I went from the weirdo to the funny guy in class(I've always been funny) you could talk to / walk to class with. I started being more social and detached myself from all the weird kids at school, and talking to people higher on the social ladder you could say. However despite this change and people sorta seeing me as a friend(in school) this past year I still had no friends.
I have ZERO 1 on 1 girl skills (in groups I can be cool / chill w/ everyone else and make jokes), but 1 on 1 I start turning red/blushing and have lots of difficulty being myself(anyone that has a class with me knows im funny), low voice tone etc. I also have trouble smiling at girls when they make EC
I have decided that I need to make a change and I need to work on my escalation abilities(getting people's #'s, hanging out after school) and making convo w/ girls 1on1. It's extra weird for me because girls have told me that I'm beautiful and that i'm one of the most good-looking guys at school, and during the past two years gorgeous girls /w bfs have always made oppurtunities to talk to me(realizing it now... FML) and to try to escalate with me.
I stumbled onto the whole scene of the "pick-up" thing from the Vh1 show and now am realizing that I need to make changes in my life and do damage control on my social life
Basically I need you guys to help me get started on bettering myself as I am clueless :/
