Frustrated...

[lifestream]

I don't know what it is but for some reason whenever I talk to girls I'm interested in on msn, I'm asking all the questions. I'll joke around, poke fun at them a little then ask a question to get to know them better, they'll reply and that's it. They don't ask anything about me, I don't get it. What should I do?

 

And another interesting thing happened to me today. A girl recognized me from a first year class last year (somehow people remember me, but I dont remember them), that we sat together the first day of class. All I could say was how bad my memory was ugh. I think the worst part for me is getting over that hump.

 

Another e.g. I bought something on campus a couple days ago and a girl noticed a button on my backpack. She asked if I got it at an art convention. I said no, I got it at the art gallery. I asked a few questions about the convention, it sounded really awesome, and I'm into art (actually I bought a memory card for my new camera) but I didn't bother saying "If you like art, I have some stuff I'd love for you to take a look at" or whatever and getting her e-mail. Urgh.

 

Suggestions? (Esp. for the online conversation one)

Are these online women people you only know online, or people you know from real life?

For one, limit myspace, online chatting, phone calls, etc and instead focus as much on face to face conversation as possible, even if that means you have to arrange the face to face meeting.

If they aren't reciprocating, then it appears they aren't interested. It sounds like they're trying to avoid being rude so they respond to your inquiries but beyond that have no interest in your conversation.

No big deal, that's kind of funny. You could use that as fuel to tease this girl and flirt with her.

Remember that you failed to take advantage of that opportunity and make sure it doesn't happen again. In fact, you could always run through a few scenario's in your head before hand and from that develope a plan of action so you will be ready for a sponanteous meeting next time.
