At what point does a nervous guy give a creepy vibe?

[Anonymous]

I've had experiences in the past where I tried to muster up the courage to talk with a girl I liked, or come up with a witty conversation opener. But because I carried myself so nervously in her presence, I could sense some discomfort coming from her. And by the time I go for it, she already has zero interest in me. At best she just gives me a cold shoulder, at worst she's telling me to go away.

Every once in a while I still get extremely nervous. What kind of sub conscious mannerisms do nervous guys convey that make girls assume their creeps? I'd like to be sure to avoid that behavior.

I don't think nervous guys are creeps at all, it can be kinda cute. But if he is really nervous than it would kinda make it awkward, and make me feel uncomfortable. Also it would make it seem that the guy doesn't have confidence, and that he could possibly carry that into a relationship. I want a guy who is sure of himself and what he wants...

Now a creepy guy would be someone who gets really close up and personal, looks around a lot, and kinda corners me. But you my friend are not creepy. Just try to relax more when approaching a girl, don't look at it as such a big task. And if you want to start with a pick up line just say "wow..you are so beautiful", that will make any girl smile :)

Constantly avoiding eye contact, it's not exactly creepy but it does get really annoying really fast. I don't think I've ever thought someone was creepy for being nervous... it's just difficult to deal with that person, especially if their nervousness never seems to go away no matter what you say.

We're just people... just talk to us and don't be so afraid. Being nervous is one thing but being so nervous that it completely alters your behavior and makes you come off as creepy or annoying is just not acceptable, I mean you've really gotta try to calm down here.

So you think I may have been annoying to them rather than creepy? I suppose that's somewhat better.

When a guy walks up to a girl and is visually nervous, seemly acts like what he is doing is somehow wrong, she's going to feel like it is wrong. But if you feel what you're doing is perfectly normal and natural, she's also going to pick up on that and be much more receptive.

Regardless, that's not being creepy. That's not the vibe she's going to get from you if you're nervous. Creepy is when a girl gives you signs she doesn't like something, and you continue to do it anyways. So if you're told to go away, and you press her anyways, now you're being creepy.

The worst thing ever is when you like a girl a lot, and you're nervous a lot around her, and she calls you a creep. How insensitive, ya know? Like WTF?

Whatever. I'll get the last laugh.

fidgeting, slight hunch, not keeping good eye contact, stuttering, etc
