i guess you're just the master of confidence and have been all your life huh?

teach me, a young grasshopper how to be like you oh wise one

 

Cut him some slack, he's only 18.

Don't worry about it. Everyone freezes up, especially when confronted with a pretty face.

 

thats happened to me a couple times... my mind goes blank... then 5 minutes later, I can think of numerous things I coulda said to the chic.

 

these things you never know, just yesterday I delivered food to this house, and the daughter was soooooo damn cute, she's gotta be the cutest girl I've seen, I'm guessing 18 years old, but then her mom was there, hahahah I couldn't say anything, all I got was a lotta smiles back from the daughter, and nothing more. oh well maybe they'll order again, and only the daughter comes to the door *hee hee hee*

 

ahhh you frooze up... no biggie... Just go back and offer her a ride in your nice car. Good luck!

 

Freezing up is natural. You gotta overcome that tendency with a undying desire to engage the ladies in conversation. It might feel awkward at first, but a lot of times your attempt is much appreciated by them--as long as you are not an a$$hole. Look at it this way, saying something may land you with your perfect woman, but saying nothing will get you nowhere. Be bold, be strong. Don't let a fear of awkwardness prevent you from having the experiences that are out there. And remember, never let it get into your head that a single opportunity may be your last one.

 

I've had so many cute girlie asses in my passenger seat I should sell tickets (no bullshit). I live in a fairly small town (50,000) in the south, an S2000 with WORKS wheels gives me instant celebrity status...which is cool. Sample conversation...with a clear indication we both have our priorities straight...

HER: Wow, I love your car!
ME: Thanks.
HER: So, are you rich or something?
ME: Or something.
HER: Oh.
ME: So, are you 18 or something?
HER: Or something.
ME: Oh.

NEXT!!!

You say : "would you like a ride sometime? How bout i give you a call." then set up a date. DONT JUST STAND THERE!

I've flirted a bit (SHHH) got some phone numbers but never called (I have me a woman!)

 

"Thanks, I'd bet you'd look great in it." Usually works for me... But then again, I've frozen up quite well too.

It was friday night, about 1:30am and I'm cruising Sunset. I turn onto a side street to change scenery and get flagged down by an angel (Picture a cross between Heather Graham and Mena Suvari). "Do you know how to change a tire?" Hell, at this point she could have asked if I knew how to sew a dress, and my answer would have been the same "Sure, do you need some help?"

Well, I changed the tire (jeeps are a PITA to change tires on!), chatted for a while, and got them on their way (one of them insisted on paying me - felt wierd taking the money, but he actually threw the $50 in my trunk as I was closing it after I told him repeatedly that I couldn't take it). About 2 seconds after they drove off, I wanted to put my head through the sidewalk - I couldn't believe I didn't ask her out when she came over to thank me... Haven't forgiven myself yet, but the point is - don't sweat it, it happens at 25 too. Plus, you know where she works so you can redeem yourself!

 

Me, being completely married, I usually do pretty much the same thing.

Have fun,
Derek
