*collapses to the ground*

Hahahahha! Well.... if anybody has ever read a string of my posts when I'm sleep deprived on GAF then yeah. I can see how they would think, "This guy is a cringelord right now."


More of a root beer guy but yeah I gotcha. No more coke. Actual more dating.

Seriously you need to lay off the coke. I sure hope you don't talk like that when you go out on dates lol

Yeah, Mediking-kun, we meant cocaine btw.

Being excitable is better than being a downer, to be fair.

Ideally you should try to get that perfect balance of course.

It sure does help.
 
You need to be able to stay cool but keep a positive and warm vibe with you. It's about balance, show you are friendly and welcoming to others but not so much to the point where you are weird and overbearing.

I actually like that second pic the most. It has more goofy-confidence than the third pic. As a straight male, I would want to hang out with guy in the second pic the most.

When it comes to smiling, it helps to goof around with the photographer beforehand. Or tell them to try and get something candid. None of us are models, so we're going to look our best when we're not trying to pose.

A group pic is good, but not necessary. What do you like to do for fun? Try to get pics of you doing that. If your answer was "video games and hentai", consider expanding your horizons.

I usually either hang out with my friends in the city or storm someone's house, but those plans aren't really exciting either - we usually joke about being a group of elderly friends already ( despite being 23!).

I'll try to get a couple of pics next time I play paddle or go bowling, as neither my cat nor I want to cuddle during the summer D:


Thanks for the advice, once again!
 
The day the thoughts of seeing cute animals in bosoms ceases to excite me is the day I cease to exist.

With that being said, MediKing, chillll bro. Sometimes people say dumb stuff and put their foot in their mouth. Just own up to it, apologize, and move on.

Pro tip: Don't fap to GAFers unless they tell you you can. But this isn't the BDSM thread.
 
I once had a cat that was 30 lbs. That fucker loved sitting on the phone when you were trying to talk on it.

Loved the dude to death though.

Maybe Mediking IS asking people out but it just hasn't been successful so far

More like... the people in this awesome thread recently helped me overcome my virginity thing. I've come to peace with it. That thing has been holding me back for a LONG time.
 
I'm going to assume that's not true or you should check the age settings. Are you in an urban area?
I edited it to "most girls" for accuracy. My city is 100 000 pop. I live downtown basically and yeah. Most of the girls my age look pretty damn old.


Edit: on Tinder, mind you. I've met plenty my age out and about that are pure spring chickens.

She seems cool though? Most girls my age on Tinder looks like shes 50 :(

I'm not going to try and do much other than just have a fun night. Just have some pints and some fish tacos.

I just remember you saying you had problems with kissing/cuddling a few pages back. Maybe try romancing this girl a little before you dive into her fish taco?

Yeah, but LookatMeGo always have these bizarre stories and stuff... just wanna learn from him...
I would imagine he runs at them naked, flailing his arms, and yodeling.

Some of it's pretty straightforward. You approach a woman and gauge if she's interested. It depends on several factors, I suppose. Just leave her alone if she has headphones on.

I... I.... wanna ask you...

What's... ummm... your advice on approaching women? Like women you actually wanna date?

Do write messages to women like this? I mean phrased as if you're stammering? It comes across as very strange and is likely off-putting to many people. If it's just your GAF shtick to act like an awkward anime character then carry on.

To answer your question, just ask people out. You seem like the kinda guy that would harbor forbidden love for a girl for two years before deciding to gift her with a crown of sonnets professing your undying love. Don't do things like that. It's incredibly creepy. See someone you like, ask them out.

I'd recommend online dating. Go on a bunch of dates and learn how to talk to women in a date like setting. You'll likely make many mistakes as all of us do, just make sure you learn from them.
 
I honestly need to be boozed up to talk to girls and I only do it at the bar. Or in some sort of setting where everyones drinking. If a girl looks at me enough times I will ask her to join me for a drink and if it goes well I will offer up my number.

I have basically zero internet game.

My stories are usually crazy because its I attract crazies. Probably because I am myself. A bit at least.

I end up dating girls because we had fun together and do it again. Then it just turns into something.

Naturally I am very shy and quiet. But I do like to have fun. Unfortunately it takes me to at least have a few pints to open up a bit and start being talkative.

Like last night for instance. A friend and I met these 2 girls for wing night. They were both absolutely gorgeous. He set this one up. I sat there and didnt say a word for like 30 min. Then I got a few pints deep and started talking to the one. Before you know it we were both laughing up a storm and I'm all animated telling stories and stuff. It went really well. Without the beer I probably would have just sat there and let everyone else talk. I like booze. Out of my league for sure though. We will probably hang out with them again but I have no hopes of anything happening there.

Question is, do you have any sober game?
 
Question is, do you have any sober game?
Not really no. I mean, once I get to know somebody and am comfortable around them, I can do just fine. I was sober for at least 6 years with my last long term girlfriend. Well minus the odd time we would have drinks at home together.

I've never actually met a girl when I was sober that I ended up dating except for a few on Tinder. And even then our first dates consisted of having drinks somewhere.

Which is maybe why I like this girl I have a dates with tinder profile that kust said "feed me beer" Im like "i can do this"

Sober me is very very quiet and shy. A girl would talk to me and I would just smile and blush and fumble my words.

And its not like I have to be drunk. Just a few beer is enough to take the edge off.

Are you talking to any girl? Been on any dating app?

Yeah, talking to women isn't really a problem... being friends with women isn't really a problem... unless you meant like talking to a woman romantically? And nope. Haven't been on a dating app.

Lol.

I gotta work on my flirting. It's trash.

I sound like an awkward anime character?

That kinda guy who would harbor forbidden love for a girl for two years without doing anything is dead. He's not coming back. Never coming back. More dead than... whoops. Almost said Game of Thrones spoilers.

Hmmm... thanks for sharing. I'm prolly not outgoing enough. Gotta fix that. I've been caught in this work/chores cycle.

idk what this means.

Hmm, have you tried a dating app? If not, why?

I was raised pretty strongly that my 1st time should be special and some kind of love should be there. That kind of thinking has affected me ever since I was a teen. Really affecting how I used to think about dating.

May I propose a weekend assignment? During the weekend assemble four of your best pics of yourself - take new ones if you have to - and ask us for feedback next week. Ask people to PM you for a link if you must. But you need to get started, and online dating is a good place to jump from.

I lost my virginity to a girl I loved. I ended up being with her for a long time and we actually got engaged. Its just the act of the sex for the first time itself wasnt really that special. It was the bond between us.

That went to hell and I became kind of a slut and sex is pretty meaningless for me now outside of just having fun.


But in this day and age, if you wait for "the right one" to have sex with, you might be waiting a long ass time. Just dont be scurred. If the oppertunity arises, go for it. Its not a bad idea to at least like the person first.

I see, well that's good to hear.

Now it's time for your to make that dating profile , put yourself out there. It's a good place to start.
 
Yeah people over hype sex, its fun and all and an important part of relationship but its not this grand thing that ascends you to some higher state of being. Just go out and meet women and if sex happens have fun and enjoy it.
