Why are guys afraid to talk to pretty girls?

I have been in a sales position for the last few years of my life and it has taught me to be able to talk to anyone at anytime. I was shy but after that first commission check was almost nothing, I became very outgoing and friendly.

Now whenever I want to talk to a girl (pretty or ugly) I just pretend like I am trying to sell them a car and it takes all the pressure off. If I'm asking them, I just pretend I am setting up an appt. for a test drive (which is what a date is, right?).

Taking this approach makes talking to anyone (not just pretty girls) very easy and pressure-free.

 

^Lol! Do you say, "Date me, and you'll save money!" ?

 

I only like talking to guys, myself.

 

"If I'm asking them, I just pretend I am setting up an appt. for a test drive (which is what a date is, right?)."

LOL I had to read your post twice just to make sure I read it correctly.

I was right ... you're prepping the girls for a "test drive" all right. Are you driving or will they be?

 

I talk to girls whoever they are.

 

I'm not necessarily saying confidence is all that important. My perception is that girls believe it to be, and they respond in kind.

 

It's the wiring I think.

I definitely do all the driving on the test drive and no complaints so far

 

All of you guys who don't think the girl will remember you haven't woken up next to them.

 

there's more of a risk... not to sound shallow or anything, but talking to an unattractive girl is easy, because you are 99% sure that you won't go out with her on sight. So you don;t feel the need to impress her, really.
An attractive girl is much more difficult. You want to date her, but your mind goes blank when attempting to come up with conversation topics.
Most would say "talk about what you know." Problem is, there's this stereotype that pretty girls are above such silly things as star wars, the latest Clancy novel, or the matrix. "Who cares about the latest issue of x-men?"
So, since this stereotype is out there, I (i cant speak for other guys) tend to have trouble with subject material for conversations.
I find it easier to "wing it," so to speak; don't plan out a topic. When you say something, it should pertain to something that is in the immediate area.
IE: art class. you're doing a project, and you lean over to talk to this girl sitting next to you. "Pencilling is much easier than acrylic painting."
Of course, this works better in college than high school; in college, if she's in an art class, Art is more than likely her major.

Of course, what do i know; 20 years, and still single

Ok, I was shooting a short film on the weekend with an absolutely georgeous actress who was working with us for the first time.

As normally happens with my crew, we started talking in almost only film quotes, that day had a heavy Indiana Jones/Star Wars/Batman/Spiderman slant.

Within an hour this girl was speaking our language, and actually said "You guys are geeks too? What a relief!"

They're out there guys, keep lookin'

 

Pretty girls is terrifying.

 

They're out there guys, keep lookin'

its just a matter of findin em

 

Pfft... all the good ones are gay.

 

Just remember:

For every hot chick out there, there is a guy that is tired of ****ing her.

 

I'm extremely good with flirting with girls by nature; my personality enables me to talk to anybody. But when I realize I like a girl and suddenly have to do something about it, I freak...which is what I'm doing now with a particular girl I find quite beautiful.

 

Just do what I do. Look at their feet when you talk to them.

 

which is what I'm doing now with a particular girl I find quite beautiful.

you're a step ahead of me; the one i got a thing for is taken.

 

Well, take into consideration that the girl I like is the roommate of one of my best friends from high school, and is also good friends with my very recent ex.

 

So in other words your screwed?

 

Yes and no.

Things sort of happened between us on New Year's Eve...a few days before my ex and I broke up. I figured it to be the alcohol and didn't let anything happen (I'm not that kind of guy, I guess), but when I talked to her later about it, she said she had wanted that for "a while." So now I'm confused about the whole damn situation.

 

Well, take into consideration that the girl I like is the roommate of one of my best friends from high school, and is also good friends with my very recent ex.

there are very important questions that need to be asked, here.
first and foremost: is she taken?
second: did you and your ex part on good terms, or bad?

 

First: No, she's not taken, but my friend (her roommate) has said that she likes a few people.

Second: My ex and I sort of parted on good terms, I guess. She goes to school here but is from another state, and we unfortunately broke up while she was home for winter break...I saw her for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday (and since she was my girlfriend, mind you), and it was very awkward. But we didn't date for long, so I think we'll be okay.

 

well, you should be okay going after her. But to be safe, talk to your ex about it. I realize you dont need her permission on who you date, but you wouldnt want to strain her friendship with the girl you like. It's just courtesy

 

Yeah, I agree, but I think I'll wait to discuss that until after she and I are okay with each other. I could call her right now and say, "Hey, I know we haven't really talked and all, but is it okay if I ask out Lisa?"
