high school

[upper]

i'm in highschool, has this girl for only one of my class.i like. i'm nervous, and its getting worst. i cant build up confidence. got her number,prepared, then called her, she said hello, i froze for a couple of second, then i hung up. too scared to talk. anything helpful?

Hahaha ... welcome to high school! Trust me, you're not the first (or last) young guy who's hung up the phone because he couldn't talk to a girl he liked!

Remember one thing ... because she likes you too, she's just as nervous as you are. Just expect it to be a bit awkward the first time rather than worry about it. If you can talk with her in person, why should it be harder on the phone? Just say "Hi, Myrtle, this is upper. I'm just hanging out and thought I'd call you to see what you're up to" and take it from there.

Good luck.

Carl.

i have to say; i personally hate the phone. i've never enjoyed getting to know someone over the phone simply coz i can't read their body language. why not approach her face to face and say what you want to say?

[vashti]

I don't think calling and hanging up is a good idea anymore. She will know it was you thanks to caller ID.

[upper]

it was once.

[upper]

any tips on what i should say? what i should do?

Way to freak a girl out.

Now you're just a weirdo stalker.

[upper]

yeah? what now?

[Cain]

yeah? what now?

Move on.

Women aren't attracted to insecure, scared, weirdos. And that's the way you looked when you hung up.

[vashti]

Aww, knock it off you guys. He's just a kid.

Just call her up and say "hi". Ask her what she did over the weekend. If the conversation is normal, ask her if she wants to catch a movie sometime.

I know, why is everyone being such a cock to this kid for no reason? I hope it makes all of you feel good

I'm a cock to everyone.

And this hanging up on someone thing because you're so scared is junior high shit... not high school. I had balls in high school.

Yeah, guys ... Vashti is right. Don't apply adult experience standards to someone for whom male courtship is still largely an unknown challenge.

Cain, you are right that WOMEN "aren't attracted to insecure, scared, weirdos." ... but high school girls expect them. If upper were in his early 20s, I'd agree with you.

upper, you're doing just fine, bro. Things will go better next time, I promise!

That's not not having balls, it's having a social phobia. I knew plenty, PLENTY of kids who have no problem going up to girls but were scared bitches on the football field and afraid to play paintball with high velocities. In other words they had a fear of physical pain like 5 year old girls

Call again, stay silent and breathe heavily into the mouthpiece for 30 seconds before hanging up.

But no.
