a bit of progress (in terms of girls)

<p>“I have also been generally awkward around women but I once read somewhere: those who do well in engineering school and avoid being diverted by desire to get a girlfriend or partying get the high paying jobs at the end and attract great women with their wealth and accomplishments”</p>

<p>Yup, I’ve heard that one all my life. I belived it too. Click my link below. </p>

<p>"Just by sheer odds, it is easier to get a girlfriend than a job… now when quality is a factor, I am not sure. "</p>

<p>Oh i don’t know about that, I’ve had few job offers in the past few months but no girlfriend offers.</p>

<p>^ Just keep working on that resume.</p>

<p>Lol@ the stereotype. Confidence is the key buddy. Be subtle in your approach but don’t beat around the bush. Practice makes perfect, so plan on getting rejected a lot. Like someone else said, try talking to women who you don’t find attractive. Use the internet to chat with women in your area with similar interests/goals and progress from phone to face to face contact. If I were you I’d stay more focused on my career because women can become a huge distraction especially if you are still trying to establish a career.</p>

</p>

<p>lol. Don’t ask, just do it.</p>

<p><em>check</em> so now i’ve added a girl facebook. Next step?</p>

<p>What are you interested in besides studying and work? </p>

<p>If it’s “Nothing”, that’s your problem - you’re boring.</p>

<p>Otherwise, go out and do it. Join a club. Take a non-credit class. Buy a ticket. Whatever. Meet others who have the same interests. Of both sexs. Make friends. Do stuff together. They will have friends and your circle will start to expand. Eventually some girl will become part of the intersection in the Venn Diagram of your life and off you go.</p>

<p>I’ve joined a few clubs. There just aren’t any girls in them. When I posted this thread, it was right after i came back from a volunteer meeting with a lot of girls. Unfortunately, it appears that this group does not meet very often so I’m pretty much back to finding somewhere with girls again. </p>

<p>Do you have any suggestions?</p>
