I have the best method. If I'm attracted to a girl, I get to know her better. If I don't like her at that point, I sleep with her. If I do like her, I become paralyzed with fear, refusing to talk or interact with her until such time that I get drunk at a party and confess the whole thing in one of those incredibly awkward moments that always ends with a slow clap.

What I didn't really understand until I started taking medicine was that the constant worrying and anxiety had also lead to depression. Once I was on Lexapro I started to feel...well good and I finally had a frame of reference. When you're always depressed and worried you don't understand that there is any other way to feel. It probably sounds crazy to people who've never had to deal with it but it's true.
I had this same dilemma for a long time, for totally different reasons. I was more or less in an ongoing depression for most of my life.
I don't know if it was to do with a particular form of anxiety, or just a number of perceived deficiencies that I saw in myself, but things really turned around once I got put on Aderall XR. This last year (and a couple months) has been the most amazing and fulfilling time of my life. It's mindblowing to look back at how I used to be, and realize how very easily I could have turned things around so much sooner if I'd only been able to believe in myself. That probably sounds really cheesy, but it's absolutely true.
The most amazing step I think I made was having enough confidence to, in so many words, give my dad the finger and tell him I never want to talk to him again. But that's another story.

I always just imagined *WHUMP* and then you dragged her back to your place.

I am celebrating my year anniversary with my girlfriend this weekend with a hike and a picnic lunch and then a fancy dinner that night and I will wear a suit maybe.
Well, I've had a guy try to 'seduce' me... he's actually an acquaintance from highschool. Before when we were in highschool he was really awkward. Outside of his small circle of friends (some pretty nerdy guys who played Magic daily during school), he didn't talk at all. At prom he had one of his friends ask me to dance with him, I'm not sure but people have told me he had crush on me, but we barely talked in highschool at all.
Now we're going to different schools, but we still end up seeing each other at times, and he's completely different from the way he was before... but not in a good way. Now he's not afraid to talk or to approach women (including me), but he's so arrogant and in your face about it... it makes me really uncomfortable to be around him. When we were out once with some friends he pretty much made a point of walking straight up to me and asking me for my number. I didn't really think about it and just gave it to him. Then he left really abruptly and pretended like I wasn't there for the rest of the night.
He called me up two days after and told me he wanted to take me out on a date. I was still pretty puzzled over what was going on, but it was legitimately not a good time for me because of some family problems. He asked for another date the next day, and when I said that I still couldn't he told me to stop wasting his time and that he could do better.
Two weeks pass, and he does the exact same thing, but to my best friend. She has no interest in him at all, and after that he goes back into "stay really quiet" mode... doesn't make eye contact with me anymore, doesn't make eye contact with her...
About a month or so ago I talked to one of his friends about it, and apparently he thinks of himself as a player, and has been talking about ways to pick up women... pretty typical pick-up artist stuff, but I guess you already have to know how to talk to women to make it work. He apprantely has had some success though with some other girls so far.
you just fear the alpha male
I guess? I'm deathly shy in front of most guys, particular strangers and especially when I'm attracted to them or I know they're attracted to me. The last time a guy tried to ask me out I couldn't even look directly at him or speak, I just stood there looking at my drink as things got increasingly awkward and he left.
oh wait i'm not a nice lady, phew, dodged that bullet

I'll tell you guys one thing girls really like: a spectacle.
If you are in a room with a girl you like, do something to get her attention and make her mystified. One trick is to pull down your pants and poop, while a friend yells "He poopin! He poopin!".
This tends to work best in stores such as Target, in the electronics dept.
On the subject of medicine, for the last year and a half I was on cymbalta and only recently discovered (and this is why I switched off it) that it made me pretty much incapable to feeling guilt at all. Which doesn't sound that bad at first but trust me, it's a slope that gets slippery really damn fast.

Aww but he plucked up his courage to talk to you, he must have been just as nervous.

I'm sorry but this sounds like there are some great stories just waiting to burst forth. That or something terribly depressing.

Somebody should start up "Approaching Women" classes that make sure you are not a creepy fuck.
Just teach you things about cleaning yourself up, conversation starters, etiqette, confidence boosting, etc.
Not predatory, but a "hey it's nice to meet you" kind of way.
A lot of people need to learn that "nice guys finish last" is the furthest from the truth.
People without backbones finish last, and usually those people are pretty nice guys.
I have a lot of friends that are great people but have ZERO clues when it comes to just talking to women.
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
now that I'm single I don't know how to do it

edit: oh, hit on a girl. can't help you

not since the herpes
It is something said by assholes to justify their life decision to be assholes and something said by losers trying to justify being losers
The nice guys I know are all coming along fine, in fact... some of them are even married
this is inaccurate, your sources have failed you
are... are you my husband
oh wait i'm not a nice lady, phew, dodged that bullet
and they warn you right before they do

making sure to should loud enough that the whole apartment building knows

ahaha yes
Not for fun reasons either
Because people were sitting in the bathroom talking about their feelings
Also one time a super drunk chick tried to rip out my throat with her teeth in the bathroom
But nobody really cares about that except me, mostly it was the first reason
see, all this time I've been vomiting at CostCo

Well now you know your superpower!
It makes sense, but only situationally. And only when applied intelligently.
There's no good reason to be a complete asshole in all walks of life, but doing the nice and polite thing all the time doesn't work either.
i think it's only not friendship if you surreptitiously comment on someone's boobs
