Crush -> dating?

[Demonfeet]

How do you get from that awkward crush kinda period to going out with a girl?
I've got my eye on someone but i just don't know how to act. I've kinda got this rep as a macho footy guy as well which i kinda wanna uphold, i'm not exactly but some girls like it :)
How do you come off as sensitive and shit but still be all guy-ish?

How do you come off as sensitive and shit but still be all guy-ish?

You stop being insecure about having human emotions and stop living your life by asinine gender roles. If you just want to uphold an appearance to get action, then spare other peoples' feelings and don't waste your time being dishonest.

Yea but i think this girl only likes me cuz i act like i do, but arn't you supposed to go all sensitive to "win them over"?

Yo boy, you got it all wrong. You need to be yourself and if someone likes you for who you truely are then that person is for you but if the only reason they like you is because you put on an "act" and that is what they like then no. Just be yourself and if she doesn't like you then t wasnt ment to be.
And you do not always have to be sensitive, sometimes a girl likes a guy who can be both sensitive and strong and can realize that she has to protect herself at times because some girls do not like it when there bf's are trying to stand up for them all of the time (thats how I lost my first gf.)
The bottom line is to be yourself.

You aren't supposed to do anything.

The best way is to lie about every aspect of your life and hide your true personality until they commit to you... You know, just win them over then tell them who you really are.

No really if you are yourself and your crush doesn't like that, then it isn't meant to be. I know you don't want to hear that and you won't listen to it (I don't blame you), but it won't work out. That's like trying to eat a steak that kind of looks like chicken and you hate steak. I'm really hungry, that's my 2nd food analogy in 30 mins.

Thanks guys (apart from Sage who just seems like a bitch), I guess I could give it a go, but it's hard to just go from this one thing to another. It sounds odd but i like actng the way i do, even if its not the natural me and i like the friends that i've made "being" this person.......
Well maybe it'll teach me something about myself if i try.

thats the semi-right attitude................ godspeed my friend

No, Sage is actually kind of right about the "Your not supposed to do anything" part. I'm not sure if they were trying to be sarcastic or not, though. You shouldn't go out of your way to act different then you are. You need to act normal. Be the same because if you try too hard she will eventually find out you were just acting. Lots of guys put on a show and end up as a disappointment in the end!

Btw, name calling isn't very nice. Sage was just being blunt. Very very blunt. It's not Life unless you have someone willing to be blunt to a point of...Bluntness! (:

Good luck, though. She isn't worth it if she wants you to be someone your not!

[SirRawrsalot]

Sage is blunt pretty often. I actually + rep'd for that post because there's a lot to it.
