John316C Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I got a reply. The problem is my social skills are really bad, probably non existent. This is what she wrote: Yea I do. I just read your profile. You are going to be an actuary? Fun stuff. You know nobody knows what that means right? I studied actuarial science at uwo for 3 years, but graduated with stats at that time. Now I'ma high school math teacher. Why the career change? What have you that idea? I dont know how to respond without seeming boring. I'd probably answer her questions and say something like thats cool/nice. and then I'd not know what to say. So please help. It would be really appreciated.
deathandtaxes Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Just be yourself. If being yourself means you come across as boring, then so be it! You don't want her interested in something that you're not. She might just enjoy the awkward you. Just make sure you're honest.
mbee Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Also, please ask her questions about herself. You'll notice from this forum that people sometimes view the other person when not asking questions as a sign that the guy is uninterested. Ask her about her career. Try to look at her profile and ask her about something "fun" too. I personally hate just talking about job things. Just make sure to be responsive, and ask her questions to keep the conversation going. Be yourself! The goal is to get an in person date since it's hard to establish a real connection through exchanging messages.
crederer Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 UWO as in Western? if so, I am a laurier grad and we messed you guys up in football!! RWAAAAArrrRRrrrRghhhGhh!! But in all seriousness, I hate OLD but if you're going to do it stick to one question at a time....kinda go with that in real life too cause most people can only take one question at a time.
deathandtaxes Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Have faith and be yourself! You remind me of a guy I know. He's socially awkward and he's actually studying actuarial stuff, too. And he's married to a very sweet and beautiful woman. She is his social opposite, too. But he's such a font of trivia knowledge and is a mean cook. So ask good questions, have your own things you like to do and can talk about, and you should be fine!
