I personally think it's more worrying when someone thinks low of himself. It ends up in a destroyed confidence and quite likely depression.
That too is thinking you're special ;)

Suffering is a part of life, if you acknowledge why youre special and what you can bring to the table you reap more rewards too.
Fine, best of luck :p

I know. I'm not recommending to be an ego maniac since I even hate that.

Middle ground is holy but you know people chose to ignore it and always slide with the extreme. Or at least the majority does.

As long as you keep it real and be aware of both sides it's all good imo.

I don't know if this is karma or some shit like that, but I had just had a great time talking to this new girl in my team. The conversation was flowing smoothly, we discovered shared interests & views and had a ton of fun. I have no idea how the last 1.5 hours passed so quickly. It was... beautiful! :touched:

Of course, the catch is that she has a bf already. :cry:

The one at your friends engagement and now this chick. Are you romantically interested in every chick you talk to? If you had pleasant fun talking to this then keep doing it, without putting her on piedastal and just enjoy her company socially man as you would with anyone else. If there is an opportunity (easy to notice em, just casually talking to you isnt it) somewhere down the line when you get to know eachother etc, fine, if not, thats also fine.



Dont have to be best buddies aka lord friendzone, but just some are just meant to be hung out with in that particular setting, work, team, hobbie related activities to pass the time.

Not at all. In fact, I'm very picky when it comes to them. Any attraction based on their looks or so just dies down very quickly for me. So in terms of romantic interest, that narrows it down to a handful. And that girl from the engagement doesn't really count as romantic interest. That's why I'm not even bothered about it.

I'm not putting her on a pedestal*, but it's easy for me to notice when I'm having an easy, flowing convo with a girl cos with most of them, it either seems forced, like we're not having fun, or like there is no real connection actually forming between the two. I rarely get those "vibes" that most people talk about. So when it really happens and I feel it, it's hard not to get excited. D'junowaimean?

No, but I do fancy playing the P in V game.

I know what you mean for sure. But alot of new acquitances, depending on social behaviour or setting, wether female or male can be awkward as shit with the small talk at the beginning if you let it, but get past that and you get to know them better with some effort, find a common ground, then you can truly judge (alot bore the fvck outta from the get go ofcourse) . With chicks ofcourse its total different dynamics (since too many dudes treat them as special unicorns). But generally connections just doesnt form by casual small talk or empty platitudes and if not you give up, have to give genuine effort (if it doesnt come easy) or be good at BSing to get to know peeps.

I get what you're saying but sometimes I just can't connect with some people, no matter how long I know them or talk to them, especially when it comes to girls. On the other hand some are just easy to deal with and it's a more natural course and a lot higher synergy.

See, this is the kinda shit that I hate! You got one set of voices saying "you gotta make them feel like a princess when you're with them" and the other saying not to put them on a pedestal. FFS what do they want then?

Seriously, why the fuck is this dating/relationship thing so fuckin' complicated and confusing? How the fuck am I supposed to follow any rule when there always is another rule that's fuckin' contrary to that shit? :andy2:

I give up.

Yeah some are conditioned to act in the same boring way they think thats expected of them, like they cant talk to guys without semi-flirting or psuedo playing hard to get, instead of just genuinly opening up and talking to you , they play a predictable shallow gender role instead. Those are generally uptight airheads or just too shy to come out of their shells (for some it can take months, you see them in the same parties/social gatherings, then talk to them alone and notice they are completely different person), but alot are just chill and natural easy to talk to no matter if you known them couple minutes or for years.

Of course you can't connect with some people. 95 percent of them are morons. How could you connect? There's nothing wrong with you if you can't connect with someone else.
