I think some of the reason I haven't had any good experiences with girls is that I can't deliver a well-received compliment. Every time I make compliments they are literally met with resistance, with something like “Ummm… Thanks” (with maybe a ? at the end of that), or other things like that. I don’t know if I’m coming off as being insincere, but I don’t make compliments unless they are true. I think some of that is I come off as being too dry or not very animated or enthused, but that’s just how I am most of the time. For a while I just avoided making compliments altogether because things almost always ended up going opposite the way I hoped. But I’ve made a conscientious effort recently to start complimenting more but the same thing happens
What is it with girls? You would think a compliment would be taken as one. Instead I’m afraid to give a girl a compliment because it always wrecks my day with one of their typical responses. Seriously, nothing hurts more than trying to be friendly and being stiffed like that. If it was a guy I would be downright pissed, but with girls it just hurts
So now I’m knowingly making the decision to not compliment girls because not only does it not work, but I end up in a worse spot for doing it. Right now I’m on the borderline of being incredibly pissed off and sad, and when I’m pissed I just want to **** up these people, but because they are girls that thought just makes me even sadder…
So not for a long time am I going to make a nice remark
Because yeah... I thought making ncie remarks like that constituted flirting or at least expressing interest and would help me somewhat
Anyone else have similar experiences??????
