TrishWick Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 So there's this guy I see at my campus and gym every now and then. I've never spoken to him before. From what I hear, he's an incredibly friendly guy and is really outgoing. Problem is when I want to make move in terms of talking to him, I see his face and he looks mad... People tell me that's just how he looks when not doing anything. God but when he smiles he's so damn attractive. I've don't know any girl that he couldn't win over with his smile, it's just when he doesn't smile he looks mad. Which makes me intimidated. What should i do?
kodakgirl Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Some people just have faces like that-- their "neutral" looks angry to other people, or worried. My mom looks angry all the time when she's just thinking, and even more so when she's reading something because she needs glasses and her squint strongly resembles a frown. There's a really humourous video on this phenomenon in women: If the general consensus is that he is friendly and outgoing, it's probably just his neutral face! 1
Frank2thepoint Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Ironically, my usual facial demeanor is happy and often smiling when others encounter me. When people see me not smiling, they immediately ask "why am I in a bad mood?". It's because I'm either thinking hard or I'm grumpy because I'm hungry. What should i do? Just say hi, then take it from there. 1

When Im zoning out and thinking about absolutely nothing, others believe Im either depressed or thinking about something existential. Next time you see him you can ask him a question about class, facilities, etc. And after establishing some familiarity, it won't be weird to say "hi" the next time you see him. Probably he will also start saying "hi" when he sees you as well, and if there is interest from both sides it will build up to bigger conversations, and who knows, maybe going out.
melodicintention Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I stand around looking like a "mean injun" as my friends say. Very standoffish looking. But I'm friendlier than anyone, to a fault. I say give it a try, see if there is a vibe between you two and strike up conversation sometime. Just something light and casual to measure his response and then go from there. A beautiful smile gets me too
Stillits Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Haha, I'm unfortunately one of the people who have a bitchy resting face. Or, perhaps I just look sad when my face is neutral. I'd say, since you already heard he is friendly, just go up and talk to him.
preraph Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I have a mean face too. This is very easy. Wave him down, smile real big so he gives you one back and say Hi. Just keep doing that and see if he initiates anything more or not.
