Need Help With a Girl

Postby Souther » Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:24 pm

Just wondering, how does one go about getting the attention of a girl whose popular with alot of friends? I just made a myspace account because I heard a girl I used to like has one up. I know its sad and pathetic, but I used to go to school with her and never got anywhere except talking to her. I dont have any friends or social connections, so I need some advice on how to go about getting in touch with said person.....

Souther,

I don' really have any advice to offer--myspace, facebook because those things didn't exist when I grew up with the dinosaurs.

But I did want to say that your efforts to reach out to this girl are neither sad nor pathetic and require a great deal of bravery on your part. I don't envy any young person today who is trying to find their way through the maze of social relationships.

Good luck,

just send her a message, if she is comfortable she'll write back, if she doesn't then time to move on.

Souther,

Don't be discouraged; developing relationships is never an easy thing, despite how it is portrayed in the media.

It is a learning process and one of give and take.

Best,

Seems to be a game of "Im good looking and popular" and "You are not good looking or popular."

Science proves women are attracted to money and someone who will support them, so why do they alwas go for the guy who sleeps with everyone and is displays a lack of intelligence?

Because everyone wants the hot guy, and whether they admit it or not, people seriously value attractiveness over all else, at least initially. Science proved that too.

I don't know, I'd stay away from good-looking, popular girls if I were you. They're too boring in my opinion, anyway.

Unfortunately you are probably right. Popularity is an issue, and if you aren't oriented likewise in a social way then it's not going to work. I hate to give you advice because I'm pretty negative about it too, but I usually aim for people with lower self-esteem cause they just seem generally more accepting and understanding (if you also have a low self-esteem.)

Self-esteem isnt an issue, except that it gives me unrealistic expectations. But we accept and thank you for your advice, its better than most of the people i know telling us lies and trying to fill our head with false hopes.
Is sending people flowers still accepted? Or is that creepy?

Souther,

I work with "young" people and they all seem to enjoy getting flowers.

Relationships can be superficial or deep. The difference is the amount of time and honesty each party chooses to devote to it.

Good luck,
