Ta-da! It's not easy being the approacher. So much easier being the approachee.

"Oh but I feel bad rejecting guys". Yeah, imagine how the guy felt. He very would could be one of the ones who's taken days to get the nerve up to talk to you.



I skydive. I SCUBA dive. I ride a motorcycle. I play paintball. I joined the Marines when I was 18. I work as a Paramedic. Clearly, I'm no wimp... but damn talking to girls with the aim of getting a date is not as 'easy' or 'non-threatening' to some guys as girls would like you to think.

Bull. I've done my fair share of asking out. If I see a guy I want I go.for it, I don't sit on the sidelines hoping maybe one day it'll work out. I MAKE it work out.

It's 2012, not 1950. Girls ask guys out now.

"So easy to say when you're the one with the boobs" ^_^
 
Yes, but chances are your the only chick that's asked that guy out that day. Me in the other hand, I might be number 6 or 7.

(I hate that I'm having to jump back into this crap...)

Worst she can do is say no.

Actually, worst she can do is tape your castration then show all her friends.





It's possible.

Or just laugh...

That said, it's true, it's simply the fear of rejection, and not knowing who the heck is single that makes it so nerve wracking.

There's a registration girl at one of our hospital who I've thought was cute for a while. I was chatting it up with her every time we dropped a patient off. One day, showed up, and there was a giant *** diamond on her finger.

I have a hell of a time defining "friendly", "harmless flirting" and "ask me out flirting"....

And how is that the end of the world? She laughs. Oh well. You figured out she's a b.tch and not.someone you'd want to date. Positive comes out of that.

You speak the truth, but my confidence usually decides to take a personal day around attractive women lol.

And maybe that's why you get shot down. Confidence is sexy on a man.

Again truth in abstract, harder in real life...

I'm not trying to be a smartass, just realizing my own inadequacies.

Work on them. You're a good guy, no reason to feel inadequate. :)

Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and tell yourself why you rock out loud.

I've been.working on my own problems, and just forcing myself to be positive first thing in the morning is helping more than I ever thought it would.

Apparently my preceptor and I were gushing with confidence. We couldn't go anywhere without getting cat calls or wolf whistles. It was cool at first, started to get annoying when it started happening around patients. I never really have all that much confidence with girls, maybe it's just the uniform."

Quote of the day : "Rob, she was starin' at you like a ham sandwich!"

A while ago one of the guys at work pulled me aside. He is a total sweetheart, one of those genuinely nice guys. The type that would help old ladies cross the street (I'm dead serious). Anyway, he is beet red, shuffling his feet, won't look at me. I'm thinking "WTF is going on here". He wanted to know if I was single because one of the FFs he works with at his other job wanted to ask me out.

If he gets that embarrassed asking for a friend I can't imagine what happens when he asks someone out for himself.

That happened to me with one of the FFs. Men should wear engagement rings too.




I've found it easier to just not date. I find the concept of getting 'picked up' icky and yeah. Ugh.
