You must like things other than computer games. Games are, after all, largely a combination of art forms. You don't like music? Do you play games with the sound on? Are there game soundtracks you like?

What about art? Has the plot of a game ever moved you in any way? Have you ever cared about a character?

Gameplay...are there certain game genres or mechanics you really enjoy? Games are pretty much just an application of some facet of reality, so if you know what you like in a game you might enjoy the undiluted 'real-world' experience of it even more!

It's hard to plant a flag in the ground and say "I will like 'this'", but if you extrapolate your likes from things you already like, it's much easier.

Just for the record, Codeka is not the OP [lol].

Somebody else said they confuse me & CodaKiller before as well...

Just act like programming games is what makes you a bad-ass and separates you from other guys. It doesn't matter how geeky it is, if you're passionate and cocky, girls will think you're the shit

Quote: Original post by Prinz Eugn1) In conversations, Ask lots of questions. Questions make you sound interested and engaged (even if you aren't). "Oh, what's that?" and "So then what happened?" and the like can get you far.

And try to use open questions most of the time. Questions that requires only "yes" and "no" as an answer can make the conversition stop after a while. But you said you do ask questions which is good. It is like you try find out about her instead of you trying to impress on her. But yeah I would be lost when it comes to books and stuff too. Maybe change the subject!

And do try some sports. No, do it! I didn't know inline skating was fun before i actually tried it. Now I am doing capoeira and yoga. It is usually free to try one or two times so why not go and try it?

Just trying some stuff is good for learning that people can think it is fun. Could be a nice as a date too!

Just be brutally honest. Tell her you want to have sex with her. I know it sounds crazy, but it works.

Of course, it also helps to have a kick-ass cowboy hat.

If you go to college or university its pretty easy to talk to girls. Just go over to one you like on the same course as you and say "hi im ..., how did you find that dissertation we had to do?" open with something general like that and maybe follow up by looking them straight in the eye and give them a small compliment. If girls feel good when talking to you they will want to be around you more often. If you know a girl who is struggling with something then give her a hand. If she is moving flat say that you are free this weekend and offer to help her move things like that.

I disagree, this is a great way to become the "gay best friend". You'll start texting and hanging out thinking you'll just kiss her this saturday when she isnt expecting it, and guess what? she damn well isnt, as far as her brain is concerned you are a girl! (unless the girl is very mature and knows exactly what she wants from a guy and you happen to fit the criteria but thats unlikely)

i find if I just want to get laid it sometimes helps to say very little.

1 or 2 fun conversations at the start (as much physical contact as possible) then ignore her all the time. This only works in a situations where you are in close proximitey but not required to talk i.e. work, school/uni or out with the same circle of friends frequently. She wonders why it is your not talking to her thus lowering her self esteem, she has no idea what you get up to in your spare time but since your too busy to talk to her its bound to be really exciting. During this time flirt with her ugliest friends.

Of course I dont actually use this tactic because I am a good guy and a complete prat so I tend to attract girls I have no interest in because I have ignored them. I am usually the "gay best friend" but I am slowly escaping that behaviour.

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

genious, i think im going to write that down and start handing it out.
