LK30 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I went to a dance class tonight my sister runs which is almost totally female and she knows I'm useless approaching women and got me talking to a foreign girl, and by freak coincidence a girl I've seen there before was also standing there and I was chatting to both so could not have been a luckier man for a few mins! I tried my language skills on the foreign girl but had forgotten to many of the words I'd learnt and the conversation went quite flat. I found myself really struggling to talk as I was nervous, but found myself wanting to talk to the other girl more (21, I'm 33) and I managed a couple of questions but even she was hard to engage in conversation! What is wrong with me!! The annoying thing I only went to the class as a 'one off' so won't see them again and don't want to go again as it might look a bit obvious!
lakerman34 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Talking to younger girls, I think, would be difficult in general. An even less extreme example, my ex was 19, I'm only 22 (but, of course, between 18 and 22 is 10 years of maturity). Sometimes I felt like I was talking to a child. That might be why you didn't communicate well with the 21 yr old. As for the other woman? The language barrier, obviously! I mean, but I'd figure if a woman sees a man trying to speak her language (even if he's fumbling), she'd find it kind of cute. Maybe that's only cool foreign girls, though. I feel like the ones to get annoyed aren't worth the time.
Author LK30 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Funnily enough there's a quiz night coming up in a couple of weeks so perhaps I will have a second chance to be more confident! I just lack confidence, but sometimes it fluctuates. I'm just quite tempted to go up to her and say 'fancy going for a drink!'
