WTF is wrong with me?

    Right, this happened to me this morning. I was talking with my mate in the canteen this morning about all sorts of stuff. Then two very good looking girls from my course sit down at the table beside us. I said hello, and they said hello back which was fine. Then my friend had to go to his lecture and I went over to talk to them. Which was again fine...

    So anyway, I was talking away to one of the girls asking her how she is doing and all that. And as the conversation went on the more nervous I got. Now I'm not really the type to get nervous, no matter who I am around (and I've been with women just as good looking as them). I started asking questions very quickly and answering them very quickly, when normally I am very composed and I think about what I am saying. I decided that I wanted to get out of the conversation and then I made it more or less obvious that I was very nervous by saying "i got to go" very quickly and walked out of the canteen.

    What the hell is going on?! This has never happened to me before and I'm pretty pissed off about it. These girls must think that I am a right knob now. What do I do if it happens again, especially if I am talking to them.


    Cheers,
    One very peed off cracka boy!

    If it makes you fell any better I'm/was fairly similar, except I can't/couldn't talk to them, at least you got the conversation!
    It tends to only happen to me though if I want to score them. If its in work or what ever, I'm grand.
    You've heard it all before no doubt - just relax. The more you meet them the easier it'll become. It's probably only a problem if you're on your own. Make sure you leave with your buddy until your comfortable with them. - Good luck, happy hunting ;)

    lay off the coffee. well maybe. something small elsewhere has most likely caused that reaction. you said you're normally fine so its not a real problem unless u focus on it next time the oppur arises.

    Yeah from the first part of your post "I was talking with my mate in the canteen" it sounds like if you were drinking something with a high content of caffeine you might have been slightly hyper and not realised it. As the conversation went on you probably noticed that you weren't as relaxed as normal and this worried you a bit. This made a knockon effect and made you more and more nervous.

    It is quite amazing the emotional/ mental effects coffee, etc can have on one

    #"And they called it...PuppylooooOOOoove!"

    :D

    Seriously, how well do you know the two girls? Could be that you like one of them more than you realise.

    Well, whatever it was, it gives you a perfect oppertunity to talk to them again. "Sorry about the other day, I had too much coffee and it was making me hyper!" Then just relax, and excuse yourself from the conversation if you feel it happening again!

    BTW, even if you weren't drinking coffee, pretend you were. Sounds better than "Sorry, I'm just so attracted to you I couldn't control myself".

    Thanks people, I have it sorted now. I had a good long chat with her and it went just fine. I kinda fancy her, so maybe a mixture of that and the coffee made me react like that. Next time it happens I'll make sure I have a bottle of whiskey in my pocket. ;)

    Thanks again.
