Today, I finally got the courage to approach a girl. I've never done anything like this before. She stared me down, not saying a word, until I felt so little that I just walked away. FML

Why would you expect her to say something? You walked up to her.

I don't think any of you understand what staring down means. She wasn't looking at him with her head cocked to the side, big round eyes peering innocently out from behind golden curls. If she was staring him down, she knew why he was there, and she wanted him to know how deeply she despised him for trying. I feel for you, OP.

Pimpin88, I think you forget one thing... don't you think everyone is happier when they're being themselves? I'd rather be myself and wear clothes that i want to wear than to be some ladiesman and having to change my entire lifestyle just to improve my chances of getting a good looking girlfriend. If only because there's more to a girl than looks, so I want to get to know them before i ask them out, instead of asking out a random stranger with a nice face.

ok you know what kid you shouldnt have a girl till you get backbone anyways because they like to know you willbe there for them so stop being alittle bitch and go out there and dont ask her but tell her you want HER! good luck

aww thats sad, she sounds like a judgmental bitch.. sorry. better luck next time! :)

I think the "neg" is too dangerous to be employed reliably. If I riffed off the one about the nails, I might try, "Nice ****! Are they real?" That would almost certainly result in a steamed walk-off. No woman wants a yes-man, but picking an issue to disagree on is very delicate. I haven't seen the pre-packaged list of negs, but I suggest that you do one that is sincere.

I'd say your man card has been revoked, but apparently you didn't have one to begin with.

Its okay man, at least you tried. Don't let this "rejection" tear your confidence down. Just learn from it and do even better next time. Good luck to ya :)

OP, that must have been so disheartening. :( The most important thing to remember is that women are people too: there's no particular trick or method or set of rules that you must follow, as every woman is different, just like men. The girl you approached was either really shy, or probably attracts an awful lot of attention and has become hardened to it. Don't let it make you give up hope: every rejection is worth it when you do get a yes and meet someone special. :) It can be scary talking to the opposite sex - try acting as casual as you can, and if you get a conversation started, try understatedly complimenting her on something non-sexual, like her earrings or her hair, or a cool top or a belt. The aim is to be as non-threatening and casual as possible, because many women are a bit suspicious of guys they don't know approaching them (unless it's at a party or something) because so many just want to get in their pants and nothing else. Good luck, and ignore everyone who's been harsh on here; they're just lacking in compassion!
