how to talk to the opposite sex

<li>Don’t hover around him/her thinking about what to say, especially if s/he is your crush. It’s creepy, especially for guys (if you’re a girl). I suppose the same for girls.</li>
<li>Sit around and listen to the conversation. If s/he is sitting talking to a friend, sit next to them and listen. If something pops out at you, you can interject. Make sure you don’t come across as rude though.</li>
<li>Don’t act too kind. A bit creepy and it can really annoy some people. It also puts them in a difficult social situation and s/he may not want to talk to you the next time.</li>
<li>Be kind. Of course you can be kind without being excessive! There’s no need to smile constantly, just be yourself.</li>
<li>Trust yourself. Jeez, what’s s/he gonna do, tell you to go away? No.</li>
</ol>

<p>Pretend it's your friend of the same sex...</p>

<p>OK. "Be kind" should come before "Don't act too kind", no?
And, lol "hovering". I feel like a spaceship now XD</p>

<p>hahaha this is the funniest thread i've ever seen on CC.</p>

<p>you know what's weird? I find it easier to talk to people of the opposite sex when I meet new people... I think it's because I usually feel like I'm getting "sized up" (judged) when I first meet people of the same gender, and therefore feel more self conscious.</p>

<p>0.2+ respect for the moderate epic lulz.</p>
