Ambrosia Software Web Board: How to Get a Girlfriend? - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Don't pour all your effort into looking good. Have a few bits of it here and there, to show you're still human.

Then again, I've managed to get girls attention in this way:

"...you have a lot of acne."
"Meh."
"You don't care?"
"Why would I?"
"...because of how you look to other people."
"Bah. I don't care what other people think."

This works surprisingly well. I don't know why, it just does.

... you're single too, right?

You can also try total mock self-degradation in order to coax out what you want.

But then they realize what you're doing and hate you.

You do know that out-of-control acne can permanently damage your face, right?

Not to mention it's horribly disgusting.

And also it can get infected. A face infection doesn't sound nice.

I don't think acne's one of those 'flaws' that turns chicks on...

Well, that depends on where you picked your chick up. And whether she's a pizza-face too.

Yes actually I do.

It means the difference between me and you. In other words it means you can't always focus, or you can't always focus and tend to act like Isword.

Sorry, I was answering the caffeine confusion.

Exactly how I feel. Well the Meh side of it.

That was uncalled for!

Anyway, I have a small feeling all this is working, because she's starting to look kind of shy around me. Plus, if I play my cards right, I may get to dance with her tonight.

Or maybe it's that crazy twitchy eye thing you've got going on.

Looks like you may just have a prospective lady-friend Zaphod, I hope things go well at the dance.

Not to be taken as a foreshadowing of any sort, but seeing as we're on the topic of girls . . . How in the hell do I get a girl who left me recently because I was apparently too emotional and depressing to deal with, although she still likes me, to see that the only reason I ever got 'depressed' was because I was afraid of losing her and having no one who cared about me, and that, in fact, I had actually started to be truly happy and content right before she broke up with me?

Wow, I didn't see there was a 7th page. Whoops. Hehheh... heh....

For one, Lemony, some girls are crazy. It seems as though she either liked the "depressing" you, or she didn't notice a change in your constant moods. You're saying you were depressed out of fear of losing her, and having nobody that cares about you? That gives me the impression you have no friends. What I did, was I just retreated. Gave up, you know? I completely stopped trying to "fit in", so to speak, and went to listen to music, or do homework, or something by myself. Eventually, after about a month or so, someone dropped by to see what I was listening to, and why my music was so loud you could hear it downstairs.
I was surprised anyone dropped by to say "Hi," let alone an upper-classman. And I wasn't persistant on trying to keep my first "friend". So she dropped by more often. Then she brought a couple friends, and her friends started bringing friends, and when my fellow Freshmen saw I was hanging out with upperclassmen, they wanted to be my friend.
So, by giving up and doing my own thing, alone, with nobody around, uncaring what people thought, I got a couple friends, then my number of friends started increasing, exponentially. It didn't continue, though. It stopped at about 105 friends, and now it seems as though many girls like me, but I only like that one.
This may or may not suit you, but if you completely give up, ditching your current friends and starting over, then maybe, just maybe, you'll become extremely popular and get a girlfriend.

Look, just move over to the Czech Republic, the girls are amazing!!!

Not that I'm biased or anything

Stop coming here. Trust me, it works wonders. You start meeting wonderful people.

That's what she said.

Well, I probably shouldn't have said I was afraid of having no one who cared about me. I have a lot of really ######ing amazing friends who care about me a lot and put up with all my crazy s###. I meant more along the lines of I need someone to 'need' me. The immense validation and purpose I felt from knowing, or at least believing, that I was an important part of her(my ex)'s life, knowing that I meant something . . . It's just hard for me to give that up, especially not having ever had it before, every time I think I'm ready to move on too, something happens to draw me back in anyway.

But this topic isn't about me, I apologize for taking the discussion away from the matter at hand.

Captain Zaphod Beeblebrox, on Nov 1 2008, 02:22 PM, said:

Hmm... I am inclined to agree.

If you think about it, this is only something where people give advice on how to get a girlfriend, or how to solve relationship problems, or whatever. Not necessarily for me, but for everybody.

But if you think about it, this is ATT. I'm surprised this topic wasn't off-topic by the 5th post.

Yeah, stop coming here, then come back again

Move? Why move when you can just order them by mail?

Even better!!

So, I wonder if Zaphod got that dance...

If not, be prepared for a night of heavy drinking.

No, I didn't get to dance with her....
