what i was getting at is, all eye contaxt is in these public places is a game really, people will check each other out, but it is just too weird to do anything more than that!Originally posted by Alpine
Hang on. I thought we were talking about whether you can pick up Uk girls cold. All you are saying is you didn't do anything because you were too concerned about something you shouldn't give a toss about and isn't any of their business.
Because you didn't smile, say hello and practice the bridging skills needed in these situations, you'll never know whether she could have been interested and are no better equipped to do it next time.
I would have been much more impressed if you said that you go to the library for a week and out of 20 girls 2 or 3 talked but no luck and the rest said p1ss off despite trying different things. And therefore you felt libraries were unproductive.
I went in my local bookshop just before Christmas, I saw this girl went passed and shouted Bogeys! quite loud, luckily she got what I was on about and laughed. I went over and said I had a terrible urge to do it (smile).
We spent a few minutes talking about the antics of d1ck and Dom and then I steered the conversation to other things. I then said she looked like she could do with a coffee and looked in the direction of the coffee bar.
Did she go for it? No she fobbed me off. But do you see the way it might work, even with stuffy Brits.
Could it be most Brit BLOKES are too worried about what other people think and what's acceptable.
Just to rant on alittle more. Over the holiday break I read up on some new material- the spanking thing in DYD. I thought to myself, that will never work, no way will you get away with that.
So tried it and all I can say is I've done it 3 times now and all were positive responses. One in particular is promising.
I bet even in all these situations where you do start chatting, it never leads to anything, because in britain, this stuff isn't done! even if you have the confidence to make the move, the girl will just think your a weido, so if she doesn't realise why your doing it, theres no point to making the move in the first place.
and yes, BRIT blokes ancdare to worried about what other think, we grow up in that culture, hard to change after 23 years....
I've came to realise, we are an uptight nation, that is why people go crazy at the weekdn when they get some alcohol or when abroad and out of this place.
saying this, in a situation at a bus stop, or waiting in a que, that is seen as more acceptable and less weird to start chatting.
anyhow, in a way we have it hard, but in another way we have it easier, reading none brits post, its all about chatting a girl up and getting a number, in the UK when you do get chatting to a girl in a bar or club, you have a pretty good chance of getting a kiss and maybe even more that night., which probably cuts out the whole 1st date process.
