I don't understand...

Interesting....though is it possible to tell if a female is a “book worm” or a “geek” compared to "normal" females going by their outward appearance? I mean, men are the ones who usually start it; where I've been involved it's either women who throw themselves at you (eek, get off!) or those who can barely glance at you without blushing (that doesn't tell me much)....

I take it that those who are "shy" would have a greater propensity to uh…be more introspective than their outgoing friends? Introspective and introverted good, the rest bad (to me that is).

I don't know. My wife was pretty damned shy, but threw herself at
me, the night we met. Claims (and I believe her) that she never
did that with anyone else either. Think of the kind of unreasonable
extremes that we put ourselves through, in order to approach someone.
I know that I've revealed feelings which I should not have, to people,
and I'm about as shy as they come.

I'm reading all of this and all I can think is how much it sucks to be a grown up or even a teenager, socially. I mean when your a kid, even if you're very shy or can't communitcate so well, all it took to make a friend was to go to the nearest playground and ask someone to play tag or hide-and-seek or something. And you didn't need to impress anyone with anything other than the ability to ride a bicycle or jump off something fairly high.

It makes me sad to think that grown up people are so difficult to even start to get to know (on a romantic level and a friendship level) only because they wont take part in children's games and activities. (I can't tell you how many cool people I've met while just sitting on a swing)

Whatever, the world can't be as logical as a playground forever, no one can change that.

These things can still work.
Never had the guts as a kid, and
still don't, but I've seen others do
them.



It can be as much fun though - if you are lucky.

So...I now know I know exactly nothing...cool.

thegodofhats,

Dude...I hear you; you could sit down and play blocks with someone and be their best friend without even having to speak. The action itself was enough....

Hey, that's what sophists are for.

You have taken the first step in knowledge,
to admit it's impossible.

I must be in the minority, then. I never got dating when I was 14, nor was I a perv. I was too busy getting into trouble in high school.

That aside, their hormones are probably in overdrive, as stated before, or it's because dating is an 'in thing' at this time of a person's life. I don't get 'in things' or 'fads' and so on. Trying to be like everyone else is lame. :\

I never did anything like that when I was 14 either. I'm nearly 19 now and I still don't.
