Insecure

    Hi,
    Just this evening I passed a very pretty girl who smiled and waved at me. I became very shy and more or less ignored her. Doh. But I did feel very good because someone good looking was interested in me. And I seem to need this to help my confidence.

    Almost every day I pretty much feel the need to have girls like the above smile at me and like me. I don't know why I need this. Did not realise I am so insecure in myself!

    How do I get out of this? How do I be more confident and not need others to smile and be attracted to me all the time? I really do not want to be so insecure. Anyone of similar problem to me? Thanks very much.

    Well, unless your a girl, this happens to nearly every bloke at some stage. Its not insecurity. Its us being blokes. We are dumb creatures at the core.

    I've had plenty of situations were i'm too thick to see the oppurtunity, then moments later when shes gone im like '....im a f@ckin eejit!!'.

    To your point about 'needing' this, everybody wants attention from the opposite sex. You would'nt be healthy if you didn't (yes opposite sex refers to gays and lesbiens too, im not being 'that guy' haha).

    From a girls point of view.. we all feel the same..

    So weird to read your mail actually as i was in a similiar situation yesterday. I was walking down O'Connelll Street and there was a guy standing outside Supermacks...classy i know! haha. But I dont know what it was we both caught each others eye and he gave me this huge smile - he was cute. I dont know if it was the fact he was laughin at me in my red dress or if it was a "good" smile :) Normally it would weird me out a tad when guys look at you and give you creepy smiles but this guy its just seemed genuine. I dont know this guy but he made an impression on me for some strange reason.

    Sometimes i feel the need to seek attention from the opposite sex but i dont look at every guy i see wanting them to smile at me.. thats what makes it nice when you lock eyes with someone and its a genuine smile :)

    Im talking crap i know :)
