9. That's what I was wondering
I think maybe there were a bunch of "first moves," and we both made them

10. I think you're right.
And eventually, all those "first moves" worked out.

6. my last one I pretty much had to body slam her
to get anything going. Sigh...it might have had something to do with the fact that she was involved in a long-term relationship and being dishonest about it. I pursued her like crazy, though.

8. The next time I have that happen, I shall attempt 'first contact'.
As in 'socialization', even if socialization scares the crap out of me.

15. Me.
I always make the first move. Always. And it usually works. And when it doesn't, its no big deal. But if you don't go for it, you automatically lose.

I don't always understand why people are so afraid to make moves. Rejection isn't that bad...after awhile, you don't even care.

16. Therein lies the problem
some of us are terrified of the rejection. For me, I'm most afraid of looking like an asshole.

19. Again, I don't understand that thought pattern.
Why is finding somebody else attractive, and doing something about it, assholish? I mean, obviously if you ask a girl if she wants to fuck without knowing her, your being assholish (although I SAW a guy score once doing exactly that, lol), but asking someone out for coffee?

See, I loved the game (I have a gf now so I obviously don't do that stuff anymore). I loved seeing how people would react to my advances. About 95 percent of the time, the person is flattered or friendly. As long as your friendly, have a big smile, and don't put pressure on somebody, even rejections are no big deal. I've been rejected lots of times, and it usually friendly...at the very least, its a "dating" rejection can lead to friendship (lol..not vice versa, though).

I figure if your afraid of rejection, than you haven't been rejected ENOUGH.
