Fun fact: My school actually did have an Enchantment Under The Sea dance and I got to go with the girl I had a major crush on (actually it was much more than that) though only as friends.
I got into a dance-off with a white samurai that night. It was an odd evening.
And sorry about the deletion of the post above. To anyone wondering SoA is responding to my question that asked if it was wrong if I made the kind of person I thought would be the perfect girl for me the main character in the story I’m writing.
And I’d actually like to hear more about those writings, SoA. I’d be honored if you’d be willing to share even the most basic synopsis with me.
This is one of the most epic statements in the history of the world.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing that, aerostarmonk. I do that too. I’m writing a boy meets girl story right now, and I have to admit I’m basing the girl character largely on this girl I have a huge crush on. I think it helps make the story more believable if you write about something you know.
SoA: I’m sure you’re stories aren’t that bad. I’d like to read 'em some day too.
Well, I actually lost pretty much all my scripts awhile back (laptop was stolen), but I have a few ideas I could send you once I write up a decent synopsis.
Yeah, I know internet relationships aren’t for me since you can never really hang out with the person in real life. That’s why I’m always on the lookout when I’m out and about. I know this is a really cliched line, but honestly if you just approach girls and you are nice, confident, and yourself, you’d be surprised what will happen.
I can put together an story (I make a living of that), but I hate when the dialog part kicks in. I think it has something to do with me lacking of a good understanding of human feelings.
Confidence does not exist in this dojo. Don’t know how people can even conjure it up. Not to mention my rather large and apparently unbeatable inferiority complex. I feel so behind my peers and even people younger than me seem to runs laps around me as far as relationships go, both platonic and romantic.
As for stories, I have a harder time stringing plot together but according to the few people who’ve actually read my writing I’m pretty decent at dialouge if a bit stilted. Though I think I might have even less of an understanding of human emotions than SoA.
I used to be like that, aerostarmonk. I felt like I was worthless and jealous of other people because I couldn’t get their confidence. I won’t hijack the thread with the long story, but I got over it my kinda just telling myself I was awesome whenever those thoughts entered my head and it ended up working. If you’d like to hear more, you can PM me.
I have a similar problem with dialogue, SoA. My strength tends to lie in coming up with concepts, and overall stories, but when it comes to the actual execution, I struggle
Wow. It’s almost like we should all get together and write a story as some super team. It’s the only way.
There’s a girl who fits my list perfectly who I’ve kinda taken a liking to. Unfortunately, like so many others, she lives in a completely different part of the country. And I don’t know how she’d take it if I told her I find her attractive. She seems a bit skittish.
Aw, that sucks that she is so far away. I would say you should try and tell her that anyways. Honestly, what do you have to lose? If you’re not comfortable telling her you think she’s pretty, maybe just a small compliment like you like her smile, or think she has pretty eyes.
I think I may hold off on that. Just for a bit anyway. The last time I was infatuated with a girl I came on way too strong and ended up creeping her out and I never even got to the point of telling her I liked her.
Yeah, I’ve made that mistake before. So for the next girl, I played it way too safe missed signals, and basically missed out on my chance, when I should have just asked her out right when I met her. Playing it too cautious can be just as bad.
Well, people tend to be very hard on themselves, and girls are even worse than guys. I think it would be a good idea to send a compliment her way. She might really like it, and that will be one more step forward.
I think compliments are great! I kinda have that problem where I think I’m less than others. So compliments = yes. For me, anyways. Everyone’s different.
Currently working on that, though.
