I'm no sociologist, I have just made every possible dating mistake you can imagine, and would classify myself as a total dating retard when a bit younger. I'm being serious, I went out with a girl for two and half years that told me that she didn't find me attractive, the best looking girl I ever dated broke up with me because I didn't give her compliments.
I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere and lived an extra sheltered life as my mother was a devout christian that banned me from girls and wouldn't let me go to University when I left school. So when I finally broke out of the bubble I was a few years behind everyone else and made stupid mistake after stupid mistake.
I used to meet girls and the process was like taking a finance application, and whilst providing boring conversation I'd also be totally nervous, shaking, didn't know where to look, stood with a funny stance, and often had my hands in my pockets.
"Hi, what's your name?"
"Where do you live"
"What do you do?"
"Done that for long?"
"Do you enjoy it?"
"What other stuff do you do?"
A finance application is about as sexy and exciting as a pair of boating shoes.
Then I started talking about holidays. Everyone likes holidays, and if they don't I don't like them. So I started going up to girls and telling them that I felt like a holiday, and asked them what sort of holidays they like. Most people either like Summer or Winter holidays. I like both. If someone tells me they like Summer holidays then I talk about going to a little secret island in the Maldives, if they like Winter I talk about going to the Austrian Alps. No-one picked up on it but this thread xxx was a basis for interesting conversation for dummies like me. |
I just found this quite amusing for some reason.
