Finding it hard to meet people

I guess, but its not even worth going to since they don't even have the correct course I want. nothing else there strikes my fancy.

Try to worry less and talk more thats all I can tell you really meet people online so even if you dont have someone in person yet at least you will have people to talk to online (like us ) :)

thats mostly why I'm online anyway ha.

See its working! :)if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always lurking around somewhere

ha I'll remember that, keep your avi like that and I'll remember ya 030

LOL thats a pic of me so I'm not changing it anytime soon

tht's good least you've got the guts to put one of yourself on here. me i'm too concerend about being judged.

Dude, make small talk. I can't tell you how many friends i got because of my ability to maintain small talk for long periods of time. If you don't have anything to talk about, then talk about the place where you guys are. In your case, i guess it would be about college. If you are looking for girls, then find the one you are interested in and make more small talk. Everything starts out as small talk. The more they get comfortable with you, the easier it becomes to ask about more personal things. Just make sure you choose a convenient time. Don't walk up to someone who looks busy or is already being distracted by something else.

I am going to say some of the ways i approach new girls basically to start out as friends and then into intimate relationships. In my school, i found the sitting area where everyone chills between classes, the lobby of my school seems to always have loitering people, and just anywhere where people are obviously going to be for a little while. Since you are shy, then making small talk is what you should focus on. I always tend to complement a girl on something before i begin small talk. Whether her perfume, clothes, hair, shoes, anything. Once i get the classic "thank you". I start talking about the place where i'm at. If it is school, I talk about how boring the classes are, and start naming things i wish they would change. Then i direct the question to her and ask what is she taking up at this school and what job does she want in the future. Then whatever job it is, i say oh wow, that sounds great, then i say what i am there for, then keep going back and forth with the questions, while still giving your input as well. If you know you are going to see this person again at the same place then you don't have to be in a rush to ask for her number. But if you are not sure, a move i use to get girls numbers the same day i meet them. Tell them that you don't really know anyone there and you are looking to get to know some new people and that you think she is a nice person and would like to talk to her again. Then ask for her number. If she says i don't give out my number, then she is not interested in you, (has happened to me) but hey, everyone isn't going to like you lolz. If she looks hesitant, then say I just want someone to chat with every now and then, that should make her comply, if she says yes with no problem, then you are done lolz. All that's left is speaking to her on a daily basis and finding out whether she is taken or not. Got basically all my past girlfriends the same way, although i switch it up every time lolz

Just my views on how to talk to random people. I've even used it on a woman that was married. I didn't find out until she mentioned her husband while we were talking on the phone lolz. I ran for the hills as soon as i heard that lolz

I was worried at first but then I said fuck it people on here have more going on than hating on my picture

*Fix

Hills FTW, haha.

Next saturday I'm going with a friend of mine to this girl's house since she is giving out a party, there should be lots of girls and alcoholo haha, should make things easier, I'm good at having a nice conversation with people abd girls in particular, the only big step for me is the first approach, like when you don't know someone and then you try to have some small talk and the worse happens: those few seconds of silence when you're out of stuff to talk about. Doesn't always happen, but can happen.

I find it easier to approach a group of people I don't know and hear what they are talking about and try to insert into the discussion, works best for me.

It's not possible to hate on your avatar Sweetguide.

True, as most people are here to talk about what they want to talk about anyway. mush like the IB and SD forums..

good god I reply to people too much, feel free to shut me up anytime guys,

Thank you Xenyph

and yeah Hildedge dont worry about it just be yourself your doing fine :)

eh once I get going its hard for me to stop, then one thing leads to another then I start wanting to talk about other things, witch isn't what this forum/thread is about lol. thats what Pm's and other threads are for.

-EDIT-
blech my head is pulsating.

Then the problem is not your shyness but the demograph? Then you're screwed. Try to get yourself into an activity; maybe a sport, learn to play an instrument, something you want to do. I don't know, i ran out of ideas D:

Just talk or get involved more in your class.
I've made a bunch of friends but just doing the opposite of what I usually do, which was staying quiet.
You can start with small talk and work your way up.

Joining clubs on campus might help as well.

I was actually thinking about taking up the piano....
