    I find it extremely hard to talk girls. It's kind of a problem since I'm a teenager :(. Anyone else have this problem?

    You need to get out more and try more, when I was in my younger teens I was the same (and cringishly so), but going out more, talking to girls, being brave enough to make the effort...it all just becomes natural. Girls are not some supernatural being that are above you. Like guys, they're all different, some are sound, some are not sound. You won't be coldly rebuffed unless you're talking to a load of bitchs, and if that's the case, they're not worth the effort. Also, don't go in with "omg I wanna go out with you" mentality, just to be friends, be yourself.

    Friend of mine has a chat-up routine about how he's a penguin trainer. He teaches them how to stand up again after they fall on their backs. Apparently, he used to specialise in seals, but they have a bad attitude, and penguins are far more bad-ass :cool:

    In a club a few months ago some twenty-something dude spent 20 minutes telling me all about his new tractor, including some form of photo slide show on his phone.

    I wouldn't go with that.

    I hope for your sake "tractor" wasn't a metaphor, since there was a slide-show involved.

    Show them your hand.

    Ask them "Will you hold this for a sec".

    Get them to hold it.

    Walk away.

    Guys in my year claim this actually works :confused:

    Why not?Sounds like one of my lecturers tbh.

    seriously though,just don't be an ass and don't think about it too much.I'm a pretty quiet person by nature, a lot of people are.But please for the love of GOD don't try the whole "pick up artist" sh*te that some lads try,you'll be hated by your guy friends and make absolutely no headway with any of the girls you manage to talk to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,640 ✭✭✭DylanS09


    Here, this is you're Bible:




    1. when she asks how she looks shrug and say "could be better" this will keep her on her toes. and girls love that.

    2. never hold her hand. this can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. (or if she grabs your hand squeeze hers really really hard until she cries. this will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are.)

    3. once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. girls are like dogs. they love to be roughed up.

    4. call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. if she is say you better be , repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. this will show her you care.

    5. when she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. this will pave the way for her own personal improvement. and every girl needs some improvement.

    6. recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most. then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. because jewelry is for pussies and asian ladies.

    7. if youre talking to another girl, make sure shes looking. When she is, stare into her eyes mouth the words @#%$ you and grab the other girls a$s. Girls love competition.

    8. tell her you're taking her out to dinner. drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. then take her to a burning tire yard. when she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. then drive her home. when she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because i can."

    9. introduce her to your friends as "some chick". women love those special nicknames.

    10. play with her hair. play with it HARD.

    11. warm her up when shes cold...and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop bitching about the cold right now you're going to be bitching about a black eye." the best way to get warm is with fear.

    12. Take her to a party. When you get there shell have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the partys dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.

    13. make her laugh. a good way to do this is if she has a small pet. kick the pet. i always find stuff like that funny. why shouldn't girls?

    14. let her fall asleep in your arms. when she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things. like basketball.

    15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.

    16. if you care about her never ever tell her. this will only give her self confidence. then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.

    17. Every time youre in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way shell go crazy.

    18. Take her out to dinner. Right when shes about to order interrupt and say no shes not hungry. make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.

    19. look her in the eyes and smile. then clock her one. girls love a spontaneous guy.

    20. give her one of your t-shirts......and make sure it has your smell on it. but not a sexy cologne smell. a bad smell. you know what i'm talking about.

    21. When its raining keep asking her if shes crying. Shell say no its just the rain ten minutes later turn to her and just scream at her to stop crying you @#%$ baby. Girls like a tough man as i've already stated.

    22. Titty twisters and plenty of them.

    23. if youre listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. this way she'll think you're mysterious.

    24. remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her material objects arent important. The only thing thats important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.

    There's more, but I lost the rest!

    D: ^

    You're evil.

    And bevan, you really do just have to be yourself, and accept the fact that you'll probably make an ass of yourself once or twice if you're nervous. If this girl doesn't seem al that enamoured then good for her, move on. Someone has to like you being you.

    Stuff like this actually works. A (hot) girl in my class asked me if I noticed anything different about her (it was so obvious she'd got her hair done) and I just was like "Naw, you look the same as usual" and she was actually well into it :D

    Play the guitar.. :D

    In all seriousness, be yourself and talk to girls the way you talk to your lad mates. We're not aliens! Maybe just lose some of the rude behavioural issues some lads can have. Don't spit on the ground, walk round with your hands down your pants (it's not going to fall off!)..common sense!

    Just remember, it's not all about looks or physical either. I went out with a girl for two years who lost a leg after a botched operation when she was a child. Honestly, you couldn't find a better, funnier person.
