Good evening, fellas. So much to catch up on and comment on!
First off:
MAX! I am going to say this once and only once and then I don't want to hear another word of it, yes?
Talk is cheap, Max. You can sit here all day and make posts about this or that. Ask for advice. Wait for Tweeze to comment. But you have got the best advice ever on this thread from both the guys and gals. You just need to do something. And unless you bring something back to the table in which I can analyze and give you some more thought provoking advice, I can only say the same old thing again, just do SOMETHING. Really, it isn't as hard as you are making it out to be. And to tell you honestly, none of it is. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. More girls out there to try out. So, if this was a job or a school assignment and you kept coming to my office telling me that you have thought about this or you thought that was a good idea, I would probably kick you out and tell you to not come back unless you actually tried to attempt the math problem or actually had a rough draft or had some type of deliverable. So, in a polite way, I am telling you to go out there and unless you have something concrete that you tried... don't come back.
What kills me is that you seem like a nice of enough guy with so much going for you... remember that. And you aren't going to get anywhere by just thinking about it! So stop it! Just ask the girl out.
'Nuff said. And, btw, you don't need my input on where to meet girls. Max, there are girls EVERYWHERE. For goodness sake, just talk to one of them. Any one of them. Chances are better you will like the girl if you meet her at a place you hang out anyway. Just do it, honey. I promise it won't hurt that bad... well, I think less than a punch in the nuts. But what do I know? I don't have nuts.
And with a girl, at least you have a chance to get laid. A punch to the nuts, well, you are just left with hurt nuts.
