I have tried to be the "mysterious, silent type" before. It doesn't really work.

Nope. Most people don't like silence. Awkward times. But I am usually the exact opposite, which also doesn't work. Then again, I rarely do anything to attract anyone to me. I generally have a good laugh, at the expense of my own pride if it seems necessary to lift the mood.

Only when you are at a party do you realise that most people seem to insist upon having a bad time, unless there's one clown they can mutually laugh along with. That's me.

I'm always the exact opposite too, that's why I tried a new method. I'm usually come on way too strong when meeting new people, especially when drunk.

Yeah, but I never do it in a way that suggests I want to "get with" anyone, so I feel as though that doesn't scare away the ladies. Either way, I am not really that fussed how people view me on first impact, because I always end up being the main protagonist in all fun times.

i seem to get along well with everybody at parties

in fact one girl I met at a party didn't even let me know after several dates post-party, that she had a boyfriend

i assumed she was quite taken away by me

I made this mistake many times when I was younger. What I think comes across as "I'm deep and mysterious" others see as "don't bother me".


In 7th grade I joined the science fair because a girl I was crushing on was doing it. Big mistake, it was a crapload of work for something I had absolutely zero interest in.

Yeah, I'm that way naturally and the closest it's ever come to 'working' is when this one girl claimed to be oddly intrigued by me.... shortly prior to sleeping with one of my rather talkative friends.

So my advice is keep those gums a-flapping.

When it became clear it wasn't going anywhere, I did mention that Michael Bay movies are for ****ing morons that I'd leave in a burning house to save a pig, so I guess that was slightly redeeming.

If you're not naturally talkative I wouldn't try and force it, I wouldn't call myself socially awkward, it just takes a while for me to open up to people and some people do misconstrue that as me being cold, but it's the more friendly ones that end up getting to know me and they're the ones I like so it all works out. If anyone is going to jump on me in a shorter time frame than that it probably won't work out anyway.

i guess i have a sort of likable gentle-tempered demeanour that people immediately like

the only time somebody was mad at me was a father of a girl i was hitting on, whom i din't know was only 15 (those days I was only 17)

Same here, people think I have "broken out of my shell" after knowing me for a few months, but it just takes time to recognize people as individuals worthy of me.
