It's one thing to be boring, it sucks when you are aware of it...

I was recently asked out by someone I had a bit of a crush on (they're a fan of Black Keys, smart, and sex addict = oh yes! ((eavesdropping has it's benifits))) and I froze, I kind of unintentionally blew them off and don't think they are interested anymore. I guess I was afraid I'd bore them... always get socially awkward about that shit.

i know the feeling very well...
When you do the same thing day in day out you lose that spark of interest... nothing happens that makes things interesting so you have nothing interesting to say and you become boring

This worries me alot because I have a radio show, and im on the shift where I'm supposed to talk more than play music, and it's in the middle of the night so im really tired.

I guess it's just me having such a situational sense of humour along with a vivd imagination... someone could say or do something and a whole stream of jokes can stream forth, and it makes people laugh and enjoy my company.

I suppose though, the only cure is to do something new, go somewhere you haven't gone to... do what i did the other day, purposefully catch the wrong bus and see where it takes you, talk to the new people you meet on the bus, i dunno... otherwise take a holiday, either in a different state or a different part of yours

Danleary, just don't get to down on yourself. I found myself going through just about the same thing last year (though not under the same circumstances). I found myself just being a person who wouldn't talk a lot for a few weeks or months. I'm not really sure what it was that got me out of it... maybe just saying "i'm gonna get out of the house more," i dunno.

Second of all, ditto Justin. A lot of times when I go away somewhere for something, I find myself telling lots of stories and having plenty of memories to share with whoever I talk with when I get back.

One more thing, and don't feel obliged to answer if you don't want to, but I am curious when you go off to college? I've found myself more and more anxious to leave this town I've been living in for 18 years, to get to meet new people who are more like me and do stuff that I've never done before. It sounds like you feel like you're stuck in a rut, so really I would just get out and do something fun. I would suggest volunteering a saturday or two for your nearest Habitat for Humanity office - i worked with them for a whole two weeks for a school project (go to a catholic school, service is a big deal), and I had a blast. Even if not humanity, you could work for salvation army... or really whatever. It might not make a difference what exactly you do, just as long as you do it. You could also talk to someone you've never talked to before, who knows?

Man, I know all this advice and shit looks easy when it's on the internet, but sometimes you just gotta go for broke.

Live outside the box, experience something for you, don't be led along.

Life holds many great wonders, unless you have a wall out the front of your house, nothing is out of reach, brah.

I'm in love with this girl. I've never felt like this before, she's in my mind whenever it's not occupied by something else. She's the nicest, most clever and beautiful girl I think Ive ever met. We go to the same school and we were sort of aquantainces for the first year or two I was at school, but a year and a half ago we got talking on a trip and have been good mates ever since, but Ive been in love with her for I dunno, 6 months maybe. We talk alot an all, and even a smile across te corridoor will brighten up my day. It's literally taken over my head, and I just needed to get it off my chest somewhere. The only problem I have is that she's 17 and a year older than me. She's the type of girl who is up for being mates with anyone, but it seems all her love interest is to older guys (18 in the year above her). I mean you never hear guys in high school going out with a girl in the year above. It's so frustrating because she means the world to me, and I wouldn't want to change our friendship, and I literally have no idea how shed take it. At the moment Im thinking of just waiting it out until were a little older. I would rather have her as a friend than make an tit of myself and lose what we had already. I know that she likes me as a friend and thinks Im a nice guy because shed go out of her way to have a chat about the weekend etc, but I don't know if Im just a nice guy friend to her or if she thinks more of me. I mean is there really another way of finding out without asking her. It's driving me crazy.

[dutch91701]

You could have a mutual friend to bring up possible love interests the next time they talk to her. Stuff like that seems stupid, but it works more often than you'd think. I've yet to "make a tit of myself" as you put it (I'm stealing that by the way. I like it.) because of little maneuvers like this one.

[Cameron]

MM... I wish you SO much luck. Try to get closer friends with her... but dont make the mistake I do and become TOO close friends to where they know everything about you and think of you only as a friend.

[dutch91701]

I think, next to "Is it in?", "I only think of you as a friend" is probably the worst thing a guy can hear.

[MisterMother]

I know maaan. That's what will piss me off the most. We'll probably go for a drink with a group after this classical "gig" we're in, so I'll just try and have a good chat with her then

[sinclaire]

mistermother take it from me, you arent gonna get what you want unless you go for it. i dont even mean to sound cheesy. im a chick who has been chased and been the chaser and ive found that straight up "i fucking like you" is really sexy. dont become her best friend. maybe its cause im a chick but anytime ive just decided im gonna go for it, its worked. and going for drinks is the best way to ease up. when you're talking, touch her arm. it works. when you look in her eyes your inner thought should be "she wants me, there is sexual chemistry here" she will catch that vibe. i know you guys might not think im a hot chick because im foruming but i promise i am and i have been chased by many men. i know what girls like.
dan you play the guitar. you are sexy because of that, you will never be boring because of that.
(also on the boring tip, i think everyone goes through that. i know i do)

[MisterMother]

Yeah. Normally I'd be up for that, but she's sort of shy. I'll see how drinks go next weekend. Also when it comes to her mates, I already know them pretty well, enough to know they couldn't keep it to themselves, haha. Will update

Also regarding dans posts, I had a stage similar to that, but I was much younger, and it was sort of a convidence issue. All I did was just relax and be myself, and it all sorted out.

[Cameron]

I never fear that around guys... I just fear that I'm awkward around new people. And I dont have the confidence to go get what I want. MM I think you have a real chance here. Listen to sin on this un

[MisterMother]

I was kind of scared this guy (18), who I realllllyyy think is a douche haha, was gunna try and get off with her. He's the sort of guy who beds girls and fucks off, but she seems to have gone off him, and is still single. Yay.

[Cameron]

That's the problem with most cool girls, they don't know when a guy is a real douche back because "oh they're so sweet to me!" whereas they're faking it when they're around girls because they want to get with em. It's... horrible.

[MisterMother]

I knowww. She's tight with loads guys in the year above her so it was bound to happen, haha

[Cameron]

lol... loads. Well... what's your plan?

[MisterMother]

Haha not like LOOOADS but basically shes just a pretty popular girl with everyone

I dunno, she said she was up for going out after the concert thing we're in so we'll see. And also rehersal's = endless time of sitting about chatting, when we're not like separated into voice parts (that's bad, with her being a soprano and me being a bass, haha). We'll probably end up in a bar in a group of mates so I'll make sure to have a drink with her.

Thats on saturday so I'll try and catch up at school or whatever.

[Cameron]

Yeeeeeah! Sounds good.

EDIT: Now help with the Tame lyrics, lol...

[demoluca]

I'm really scared right now. I can't even verbalize most of what's going on, but yesterday I had this really weird feeling.

I heard this ice cream truck go by and instead of from out the window it sounded like it was coming from in the closet. Then I kept freezing mid-action and wandering around and I couldn't focus myself, so instead of homework I read for what seemed like an hour. And when I read, everything was going really really fast and when I went to do something else it was like I was processing things faster when they were actually happening which doesn't make any sense, but that's the best way I can explain it.
Then I got this weird feeling that I was, like, fading and becoming transparent and everything was moving like it was in one of those time-capture movies where like, a plant grows in up in just a few minutes.

So I freaked out and scratched myself(Not as in suicide, as in falling in something and clawing at the sides of something to keep from falling). Not enough to draw blood, but it was just very peculiar. I've been in this weird state of mind where somebody can tell me something and I wont even remember ever hearing it until someones practically bullying it out of me.

I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm really scared right now, and just I don't know. Just suddenly remembering stuff that I never could about crap that happened before I joined here and I can't handle it, but then hating myself for not being able to handle it because it's not like I'm one of those soldier kids in some third world country having to face death every sing day.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

[Cameron]

No... go on if you want. I want to read it.

That's... not right. I don't know what to tell you... have you thought about telling a doctor or someone who's educated in that stuff what you're experiencing? Because that is definitely not a healthy thing to feel... and idk about any of that stuff so i don't know what I could do to help you!

[demoluca]

Yeah, I'm kinda sorry I even posted it here. I'm just unsure of where else to go. Thanks. -hug-
