Always remember that, even if you talking to the girl has a 1% of you getting a date/number/etc., not talking to the girl carries a 0% chance of getting a date/number/etc. Even English majors should know 1%>0%.
Okay, take it easy Wayne Gretzky.
Gretzky? If you only knew how much I hated that guy.

I'm always surprised that my really pretty girlfriends never get hit on or even talked to. It's like guys are too scared to even try. They end up with the douchiest guys ever because those are the only ones who approach her.
So she called and we're hanging out soon. I need to learn how to relax in situations like these.
To update on this we hung out a lot this month and said goodbye last night because she goes to school in Hawaii. We both really like each other and probably would have stayed together if we were somewhat close to each other.
I'm gonna miss her a lot but we both know long distance isn't even an option and if it's meant to be it'll find it's way. We plan to keep in touch and see what the future holds.
But if I never took a shot I never would have known that I would meet one of the coolest girls on the planet. So bros, take the chance

Well, you basically just said his "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" quote. But please do tell why you hate the Great One.
Too much of a pure offensive player for my taste. I prefer my sports figures to have a little more grit to them. Given your Sanchez love though, I would assume you like the pretty boys.

That is Pro-Bowl NFL safety Michael Griffin getting trucked by "Prettyboy" Sanchez. So there.

I thought this was a myth.
Not a myth. I was just telling the chatters the other night that I havent been bought a drink (randomly) in years. Sometimes I attribute it to dudes not having a clue or being scared/intimidated, and sometimes to the fact that i live in ATL where the ratio of dudes:girls is like 1:2. i.e. they dont have to work for SHIT.
If a decently attractive dude came up to me at a show and struck up a convo like EAP said (i.e. seen this band before? this show is rocking. I love this venue! etc) and had something nice to say that was solely conversational and not the douchbag-hitting-on-you-desparate-please-go-home-with-me type - I'd be all over it. Just striking up a convo. No bigs. Caaaasual. As Monica would say, "WAS I BREEZY WAS I BREEZY?!"

The GQ pictures he used to raise 6 figures in $$$$ for charities? Sure, post them.
But those photos do not constitute being soft. Sanchez is as tough a QB as the NFL has. Don't confuse being bad with being soft.
Are you just salty that the Jets cut Erik Ainge in favor of Sanchez? That's it, isn't it?
Edit: Btw, I actually met Ainge in person twice and he was one of the weirdest individuals I have ever met. I normally love weirdos, but he wasn't the good kind, he reminded me of one of those "puts tin foil in the windows so the aliens can't hear his thoughts" weirdos.
Marky Mark took more vicious hits last year than any QB I've ever seen. 39 sacks taken and I'd say at least 20 had him being de-cleated. He got up after every one, though. Oh, and...Eva Longoria. BAM!
Ainge threw a 70 yards pass into a garbage can at one of his first Jets practices. In true idiotic Jets fan style, the fans wanted him to start that year. Then they saw him play when guys were guarding the garbage cans.

Be breezy.
Agreed!
Except I have never been randomly bought a drink. I have only been randomly approached once, when I was 17 and at work. We dated for a few months.

Probably this. I like to think of myself as a decent enough looking guy and have had a couple girlfriends/dates/whatever that I’d otherwise think are out of my league looks-wise, but at the same time I think you have to be realistic. Pretending for a moment I actually have a pair and was the type of guy to approach random girls in different social settings, I wouldn’t even bother with the really pretty girls because there’s just no point. It’s like a smart high school kid applying to Stanford and Duke but he’s only 30th in his class and got a 25 on the ACT.
Also, unfortunately it seems the better looking someone is, (guy or girl) the likelihood of them being a not great person increases, which is probably why your friends end up with d bags. (Edit: Meaning the guys themselves are probably good looking and thus d bags, not your friends. Realized that might've sounded bad.)

That's why you practice on people you don't have such a stake in! It's just a skill to be honed. The more you do it, the less weird it will be.
I don't know about NoD, but for me there is a massive difference between talking to a girl where there's a 0% chance of anything happening beyond friendship--whether it's lack of physical attraction, she's cute but has a boyfriend, etc.--and talking to a girl where something might happen. Like I could be introduced to an attractive girl as "Hey Glenn this is my friend and she has a boyfriend" and I'd be able to hold a conversation fine, but if a minute in she says "Just kidding I don't have a boyfriend" I'd start overthinking about what I should say rather than just having a free flowing conversation. I think it's a subconscious thing.
The only way to get around this is with practice, though. Or just go ahead and awkwardly talk to a girl you dig. I think most of the time it's way worse in your head than it really is. And you never know, she might just be flattered enough by your clumsy attempt at conversation with her that she'll have your babies.
As Dave Gretsky alluded to, you miss out on 100% of the girls you don't interact with.

I don't care what SFA says, I caught a feeling for Chipper way back in the 90's. And I'm not a redneck nor am I from Georgia.
NoD. The internet is your friend. Find some average looking down to earth girls who are into music and books. You will strike out A LOT. Just learn to cope with rejection, eventually you will find the right one.
For a long time I was scared shitless to approach random girls. But when you talk to them and get to know them a little, it's not so bad. Especially when you do some research on girls first and get the awkward approaching phase where actually approaching them is limited.
There's more advice I can give, but it'll bring like 10 dislikes in the next hour.

Excellent advice, my friend. Girls like this are the BEST girls to talk to/date/love, etc., IMO. The same logic applies to guys. Find someone who shares your passions, then share them together.
"I think that love is so much easier than you realize, If you can give yourself to someone, then you should." ~Dawes "A Little Bit of Everything"
I've had both "types". People that share my passions and ones that don't. The ones that do share them, it's really intense. You find a person that is everywhere you are. Its really hard if/when you break up because they are always there. In your face to remind you, you're not together anymore.
The ones I loved the most are the the ones that had absolutely no clue as to what I'm into. It never got stale. I'd find myself having different life experiences that I wouldn't typically have.
That may be just me though.

^ Yeah, I know what you mean about the "intense" part & sharing your passions, but common interests are a MUST for me.
It's funny...while cleaning earlier, I found a list of the traits the "Perfect Guy" (for me, at least) possesses. Granted, there's no such thing as perfect, but if I could magically create one, here's what he'd be like:
1. Intelligent (not over-educated, but an insatiable thirst for knowledge) 2. Passionate about music & books 3. Warm-hearted 4. Communicative/good listener 5. Honest/trustworthy 6. Tech-savvy/geeky 7. Great sense of humor 8. Thoughtful/expressive (esp. w/"the little things") 9. Loyal to friends & family 10. Patient (no raging temper) 11. No major addictions 12. Clean-cut (minimal ink/piercings/etc.) 13. Cultured/well-traveled 14. Supports the arts (esp. public radio & indie films/documentaries) 15. Loves animals (esp. dogs) 16. Loves good food (esp. ethnic cuisines), coffee, beer & wine 17. Healthy living/loves the outdoors/active (but not a freak about it) 18. Not a rabid sports fanatic 19. Liberal-minded/politically aware & informed 20. Committed to beliefs/ideals 21. Divorced/no kids 22. Employed (but doesn't travel constantly for work) 23. Appreciates solitude (esp. my need for it) 24. Night owl 25. Loves unconditionally
This list was written YEARS AGO, and I've only met 2 guys in my entire life who have >75% of these traits. And no, "handsome" or "rich" aren't listed because those aren't as important. They're just the icing on the cake.
Based on this list, it looks like I'll be single a lonnnnnng time!
