Flirtation 101...
a little tip for the guys. girls are complicated. yes, i'll give you that. but in general we don't like guys who are lacking in the confidence department. well, let me rephrase... in the initial interest phase, we generally like a man who is confident in himself. who likes himself enough to believe he is worthy of your time. not too overboard, and not too creepy, mind you.
the silent stare kind of guys... they don't give off that confident vibe. they think you're pretty, but in a way-too-pretty-to-give-me-the-time-of-day kind of way. get at least a very small set of cojones and at least say hi. most girls like that better than the awkward silence. for example... i take my trash out today (d rant, did you notice that i said it was ME who took out the trash?!) and walk another apartment. i hear voices, so i look up to see that it's three guys who are vaguely my age or younger talking on the steps. they are all looking down and staring at me. they noticed me first. but as soon as i look over, the conversation stops. dead silence. this is strange and awkward, so i continue on to the dumpster. i walk past again on my way back to the apartment, mindful that 6 eyes have followed my every move to and from the dumpster and none of the guys have had the guts to even say hi. granted i could throw them a bone and give them a friendly "hello!" but i don't. i want one of them to say hi, and in turn i can flash them a gorgeous smile and say hi to the brave one.
on the other end of the spectrum are the guys who are self-obsessed. or creepy. or automatically undress you in their mind the second they see you, and let you know it. when you go too far, it isn't attractive anymore. and it kind of crosses the personal boundary.
just a little lesson for you guys. now let's hear some appropriate flirting!
