So I guess this is kind of lol, but it's also a step forward for me as I'm deathly shy when it comes to meeting girls in public (and why I meet all the girls I date through online dating)
I got my first number from a girl (not through online dating) tonight. Was at a concert and saw a girl standing around drinking a beer by herself so I went up and said hi and we talked for a while and after the show talked more and exchanged numbers and facebook names and I gave her a ride home.
It's good because now I don't feel like afraid to just walk up to a girl and say hi. I didn't have some genius line to say or anything, but I just said literally "hi, are you here for the opening band or main band?" and we talked. It helped that it was a super indie show with like 15 people total so we actually had something in common both liking the band.
I guess I just got sick of cute girls looking at me and smiling as they walk by and myself always being too shy to do anything about it. Even tonight, before I talked to this girl, some reallllly cute girl walked right by me with her friend, turned her head and smiled right at me. I dunno, these days I swear I'm getting hit on left and right; probably because outside of my shyness around talking to girls my confidence is actually doing great and I'm good looking guy with a nice smile. If I can just get over my shyness I would be doing very ok in romantic antics right about now.
