Socializing with the opposite sex

Post Reply New Topic

I forgot how nervous I get with talking to girls until today when one of my classmates asked to see my notes. Just knowing that she is paying attention to me made me feel a rush of nervousness blended in with excitement. Alas, I could not think of something constructive to say and mumbled to her after class if she got all the notes. I am 23 and I still have a long way to go if I want to develop a relationship with a woman.

Yep, that's the way things go for me. Depending on if you're used to that feeling, you might next think that maybe she might like you. Then your mind will go overboard until she does something to tell you otherwise. That's what always happened to me before I realized better.

Socializing with the opposite sex on a friendship level, I find that to be a piece of cake. Its dating them that I get all jittery and nervous about.

Female friends are great.

Progressing to anything beyond that has never happened for me.

I'm better at socializing with the opposite sex than with the same sex.

I'm better at socialising on a superficial level with other males, but I feel I can open up more around (some) females. Although for a few years I haven't done any socialising IRL outside of my family, so perhaps this is not so true anymore.

On the other hand, since I have been lacking in sexual interest in the last few years, I've found that speaking with members of the opposite sex has been considerably easier than in my adolescent years.

Its natural for most people to be nervous,slur words,be at lost for words, act goofy,
etc around someone they find very good looking. The thing you need to learn is
when people do it to you they maybe interested in you.

I act very goofy around Guys, because I feel compelled to cover up my Nervousness. Otherwise, it's hard for me to interact with them, at all.

I can easily talk to boys, and I can speak to girls as well. Only I can't speak to people eye to eye because I somehow look away, and people get really p*ssed off by this.

I can talk to my female friends fine, but females I don't know well... I get really messed up.

It is tough hitting on girls (and guys too). As for talking to the opposite gender, it takes practice.
Were all humans.

I resent that statement.

I think my problem with females at the moment is the fact that we don't really get along as friends. (the ones I'm with, anyway)
