just say, "hi, im tony, and i hope i dont offend you, but i just wanted to tell you you are really beautiful." and smile, and you can tell if she is interested or not. but dont make it seem like youre stalking her thru the store or anything!

She is actually about the same age as you. Haha

hahaha...woww....*is tempted to bring out the scale and rate her very low*

this is my post i put in the other ask thread. i kinda went off topic, so i thought it'd pertain more to this one

QUOTE
i don't understand why girls don't like being 'hot', besides anyone can make themselves 'look' hot. And a little off subject, no, there's a difference between 'looking' hot and 'being' hot. Cause quite honestly, being hot is the highest compliment in a guys mind he can give you, but he would be afraid to use it in front of you because it offends girls.
Lauren.
^^^i don't think "hot" is that offensive, especially when compared with the scale. if someone means it as a compliment, it should be taken that way. i think it's ridiculous to interpret something meant as a compliment as something totally offensive.
confused
i hate it when guys say im hot, but then hate me for my personality. thats wrong

okay so heres a question. Whats the best way to approach a random girl and give her a compliment? Like lets say your walking out of walmart or something and you see a really pretty girl in front of you heading inside. How do you approach her with out seeming like a creep, and give her a compliment to see if you can get a conversation started with her?


Once again, I'm not a girl, but I'd love to answer this...

Don't go for the compliment first. THAT will inevitably get the whole "creep" vibe going. Start the conversation, see how that goes, because that will not only reveal if she's interested, but if you actually want to be as well.

ok, i agree, your right but i think you mised somthing oh i got it they need mental help for saying that, make shure you tell him he needs some mental help.

oh trust me, i say whatever is on my mind when he does that. not only the mental help stuff.

Ok, I have a question and I'm sure you girls are smart enough to answer it. wink.gif

So, I was at this youth conference thing all day today and ran into the girl I like and two of her friends. (one of which I would call a friend of mine as well.) I said hi to them, and both of her friends said hi back and the one that is a friend of mine said how she's running into lots of people she knows. (which is pretty much beside the point.) This girl I like said absolutely nothing. She's not shy at all so that's not it. Does this mean anything. blink.gif

well, it depends. was there anything else going on? she could've been distracted. how long were you standing with them? she could've just not known what to say, especially if it seemed like you and her other friend were carrying the conversation. and how did it end; who left first? you or them?

ah, so many variables.

It was a break during the conference and they just passed by me, and I stopped and said hi. they were only there for 15-20 seconds or so. The only thing to be distracted by was the large crowd of people. There really was no conversation. This other girl simply said how she's seeing lots of people she knows. Pretty much right after that they left.

so that was pretty quick. hmm, i definately don't think it was anything negative. possibly it was just too quick and busy for her to say anything. you never know, she might've wanted to and just didn't get the chance. anyway, i wouldn't worry about it. next time you see her try and strike up a conversation and see where it goes- that should tell you what you need to know.

mayb she had lots to think about?

doesn't really sound like anything to me. Are you basically asking if there was a reason she might have not said hi? Cause I know I've just talked to people without saying hi, or maybe she was just tired, or distracted. I don't know. To me it just seems like nothing really, I don't think it's anything like she hates or you or something. Very easily could be nothing, yet haha very easily could be you somehow did something wrong and she wont tell you and you have to figure it out...lol. We girls can be interesting.

the answer to your question travis was put best by miley cyrus. These must've been the thoughts running through her head which is why she didnt say anything to you.


"The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley"

what do you all think about age differences in relationships...im goin into 10th grade and there is a girl going into 8th that really likes me and i kinda like her.....
Meant2Live
A couple of years isn't too big of a difference....when you're older (think college-age or greater.)

I think...in a younger-type situation (like yours) it isn't necessarily a bad or a good thing, just remember that at your age your maturity levels are beginning to develop at a greater rate than hers might be and that might throw a relationship out of whack....also just a couple of years is a HUGE difference even when you're twenty...two years for a 20-year-old is 10% of a lifetime, and that's a LOT of experience and emotion...a large gap indeed.

I don't consider it necessarily wrong, but I think you'd need to be treading very careful ground. There are many factors, like her maturity level for her age, how she was raised, previous experiences with relationships, etc. (same goes to you too! tongue.gif)
jesse
alright, thanks.

question 2:

ok i was at the beach this week and a couple of girls started hanging out with me and my friend. they had to go so before they left they asked us what our phone numbers were. we gave them our numbers and left. later on, we realized that we should have asked them for their numbers. then, the next thing i know my friend gets a phone call from a guy asking for one of the girls we met.....what is the deal here?
Meant2Live
I dunno what that's all about. I assume the guy didn't know you guys....weird. Maybe it was some sort of a prank?

if she's extra mature emotionally for her age, i think it's probably fine. but remember that middle school and high school can sometimes be a big gap. you're thinking of college,; she's thinking of, well, whatever 8th grade girls think of. my parents would have freaked if i dated a sophomore when i was in 8th grade, so maybe you should check that out, too.

okay girls, this may be a really wierd topic, but i'm gonna bring it up anyway.

Okay, this girl i'm currently seeing told me one reason she thought was cute is that she liked my butt. mellow.gif for guys, there's reasons why you like looking at girls butts (for...erm, unmentionable reasons), but it never occured that girls really "check out" guys.

so really what do girls look for when 'checking out' a guy, and why do they do it?

well, umm... i don't really check out guy's butts.

i don't really look for anything in particular. it's not like i have my mind made up, i'm not looking for something before i even meet the guy. but that could just me be; looks aren't that important IMO. i do, however, watch the way he acts. looks don't really affect how much i like a guy.

i'm really amazed how awkward this topic mis going to get in a few moments lol laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
Lauren.
it's not that awkward
crazymandolinist
Dadgummit it's been awhile!

First off I would like to say that whoever those girls were that asked you for numbers and gavum to those guys are devious and possibly really cool. I'da loved to see what would happen if you indeed did ask them for their numbers. I love the real clever type.

I've always thought of the word "hot" when describing a girl is a combination of coolness with beauty, might have something to do with the fact that I find slutty busty girls revolting, unless they have a really cool personality and aren't showing off. I don't like girls that care too much about their apearance. I'd rather have a girl who could make me laugh and think a different way about things. Looks don't concern me all that much at all. Prolly why I don't have a girlfriend sad.gif

I don't think much about girlschecking me out. I've always found myself rather unattractive but haven't cared all that much. I used to be real fat but now I'm average but I got big ole hips. Oh well, like I care (made myself feel awkward there, happens alot tho tongue.gif )

Physical appearances are one thing, but personality is everything (imo... haha)

And I am going to be blunt here tongue.gif

It's different for all girls, of course. Obviously, some girls go out with guys just because of their looks. Girls like that are usually into a guy taller than them, pretty toned (not too buff but buff enough), cute eyes, nicely shaped face, and yes --a nice butt (which in guys' case, means not really having a butt, but I'm NOT getting too deep into that subject! lmao)

And then they're girls who choose more wisely. At first meeting, they'd maybe check a guy out, but not too much. Like, does his eyes show that twinkle of compassion? Is his smile honest and genuine ... would that face ever lie to me? (Oh and, it's not like our vision blocks out guys' butts, duh we'll see them, but seriously they're just things you sit on) And *then* when we get to know the guy better, from there on out, even if you notice his nose isn't attractive, or if his chin looks too long, if you dig the guy's personality, those kind of things wouldn't matter anymore.

Why do we do it? because we can. *grins*

haha. nice answer.

I personally look at the overall physique as well. And...haha...smell does come into play. If you smell good, you probably win a star in my book.
