...and I was a total klutz. ok so we're in the library and I was pretending to check out books. I walked up to the same shelf she was on the left of me so I just went,
Hey do you mind if I get your opinion on something? (said really fast cuz i was nervous as fuck and i think my facial expressions were not my usual expressions, it was really fucked up)
She stared at me with the 'huh wtf' eyes then went okay, so I went
would you date a guy who was still friends with his gf?
uhh ya
blablabla basically went like the Paris hilton pickup in The Game routine then I talked about the box of photographs etc
her: ya if I really loved him
me: *tried capitalising on the box topic* really u wouldnt? wow most girls would.
she then asked me why i was being random, and I stupidly smiled and said why not? why are you so unrandom? i was tryna be a fucking smart aleck and idk what that gave her. she started walking away slowly and then I went and said, hey you wanna try something fun? (while giving a really HUGE GRIN on my face)
then she blew me off with Im actually with a friend im kinda busy
so I just went nice talking with you and walked away. during the conversation there were several pauses because I was pretending to be interested in books and pulling them off the shelf and looking at the back -_-
questions...:
when should I be smiling and not smiling? when should I give a serious look?
what kind of facial expressions should i have?
First off, congrats on actually approaching a girl. Went a lot better than most guys I've seen approach for the first time. You stayed on the opener TOO Long, you didn't progress into anything, she got a weird vibe because you are supposed to be talking to her and you're pulling books off the shelf?
You are smiling when you approach her, you are smiling when you open her, you are smiling the whole time because you are guy with a good attitude having fun talking to this chick. I think you need to practice rolling into different stories, did you ask her anything about herself, ask her why she was there, transition into something other than trying to run canned routines?
It was your first time though, so don't beat yourself up. Keep approaching girls and just work on having a nice and natural flowing conversation. Then after you have mastered that, which in essence is the entire attraction phase, you can get serious, and start giving serious looks. Otherwise, why would you be serious? You are having fun talking to this girl for 5 minutes.
