4. Oh yes.
:)

When I was your age, I was chasing this one girl to go out with me. Through the spring, through the summer, back into the school year.

One day she walked up to me in the school hallway and asked if I'd like to join her and another couple to go out. I froze and stammered:

"Maybe"

Her eyes became very large. She said "Maybe?". Then, repeating "Maybe!?", she wandered off down the hall. Leaving me there knowing I'd blown it. That falling sensation in the stomach and the body in general.

We went out for two years after that.

Now I'm twice that age and am slightly better at talking to people I'd like to meet. Slightly :)

9. You'll be fine. You seem to be a people person.
"That" kind of person is just a new thing you'll have fun learning.

18. He was perfect??? ; )
Oh my! I've met so many perfect men in my life....lol
That's why I'm sitting here alone...
And about the hair....
You gotta love that long hair on guys...
I still do...and at my age...hair is rare!
That's one thing that would make me swoon if I was a swooner...

Ah youth....I remember it well...
Men can be so distracting...

peace~

8. Tends to work the other way with me, I'm afraid. And this is not ego talking.
When you're six-four, with long black hair and piercing eyes, people tend to step back.

Thought they don't need to; ask any DUer who's met me, and they'll tell you I'm harmless (unless you're a rightwinger or a sign spammer).

12. 'And then I had to chat up girls
and I had never used my vocal ability to chat up girls, and when your voice is breaking it's very hard! It's going, (silkily) 'Why, Susan, I really kind of (squeakily) fancy you. (low voice) I saw you in the (squeaky) playground.'

"I had to chat up girls and I'd only tagged them before, and I didn't have the verbal power to be able to say, 'Susan, I saw you in the classroom today. As the sun came from behind the clouds, a burst of brilliant light caught your hair, it was haloed in front of me. You turned, your eyes flashed fire into my soul, I immediately read the words of Dostoyevsky and Karl Marx, and in the words of Albert Schweitzer, "I fancy you."'

"But no. At 13, you're just going, ' 'ello, Sue. I've got legs. Do you like bread? I've got a French loaf. (smacking sound) Bye! I love you!'"

I never had issues talking to people who are very good looking. They're just human too.

15. Yeah
I remember this time several years ago when I was working at a movie theater, this woman came through the line (I was working in the concession stand) who was very attractive- lookswise, pretty close to my "dream girl." I was (and still am) a really shy person, but for whatever reason I managed to get this rush of adrenaline or something where I was able to talk to her without getting too tongue-tied. I got slightly goofy, though; I remember one of the things I did was that I asked her if she needed any help carrying the stuff she'd bought to her seat, when she had only had a couple drinks and a bag of popcorn, and the kid she had with her looked to be three or four and old enough to carry his stuff! She seemed flattered at the suggestion, though (and could probably tell by how I was doting on her that I thought she was hot); so no harm done, I guess. I was mostly just impressed that I was able to speak, even if slightly goofy, as my usual tactic when it comes to good-looking women is to just avert my eyes and hope they don't notice me, since I'm usually too terrified to say anything to them!

20. Oh yes
I've seen some stunningly beautiful women -all of them a few years older than me -with whom I've had that problem. And, I must say, in most if not all of the circumstances, they've been very understanding and sweet about it

36. Yes, but it was hard to get past the adolescent boy part of my psyche
She's literally just my ultimate desire ( except wifey- love you , dear smooch smooch)
And talking with her about finance was like being in crossfire between my right brain and my left.
