Over the past few weeks, I've been going out to eat with my dad pretty frequently since he and I live alone together and have nothing else to do. We're pretty close, and hang out quite a bit really. Well, the past 3 times we've went to one specific place, I've seen these really good looking girl that I was instantly attracted to. However, I never spoke to her because honestly, I've never done that having gone to a very small school all my life, and I really just wouldn't know what to say. Anyways, it didn't just stop there, but according to my dad, she checked me out as I walked by, and after that kept on coming around where I was sitting to eat, and I'd catch her eye every single time she walked by, and she'd quickly look away. The funny thing is, she's the hostess and wasn't seating anyone, she was just walking though -- many times. It wasn't just the one time either, it's been 3 times now, and yet I've still not done anything and I keep making up excuses to avoid talking to her. My question is, are those signs that I should give it a shot, and if so, what exactly should I say? Girls, what would you want a guy to say if you wanted them to come talk to you? Keep in mind, she's working and it's not as though I'd be able to have a full fledged conversation with her. Thanks.
No--your not being hopeful. Actually.this is funny because a kind of similar situation happened to me lol. Like every time this super georgous guy came into the restaurant I would purposefully avoid him because I was too nervous to be around him and his family (except in your situation it was just you and your dad) anywho.everytime they came in, I would have a different server wait on them because again, I was too shy lol, anyway now this guy has a gf, so next time just leave her a note with your number, but just don't leave it on the credit card receipt because we do have to turn them in.and I don't think you want to give your number to my boss.=) Good luck duck!
Don't let your past in going to a small school or whatever influence you. It has nothing to do with the present. Just go out there and be yourself. If it helps pretend like she's a normal person instead of the "girl of your dreams."
Don't worry about "screwing up" because it's not really possible. If she likes you she'll be happy that you made any approach at all instead of just sitting there and letting it be. Worst case she'll talk to you and neither of you will feel the vibe and you'll part ways. If you don't approach her then you'll get the same effect.
It's something that comes with practice. The more people you approach and ask out the easier it gets. If you however skimp out each time it just gets more and more frustrating because by the time when you could have asked 20 people out and been a master, you still haven't asked anyone out and are still the novice. So just go for it, opportunities happen everyday, but life only embraces those who take a chance.
It truly doesn't matter how young or old we are, we as men are typically not any good at expressing how we feel. Perhaps it's because our parents don't teach us how (because obviously our fathers...
