Hi! OK, first of all, I have to say post #10 by nucleargirl really kind of got to me. I agree with what she says: Basically, I will go on and give my best with my studies. I will not postpone life and fun entirely but catch as much of it as I can. In fact, that's how I'm living right now: I am...

I just had a conversation with a friend and opened up about my problem and I feel like I got a better idea now what the underlying difficulty is. I think the real problem is this: When I wrote that thread, I didn't need to be told that I need to socialize more and in a way I enjoy. Let's...

Hey, my problem is that I really want to flirt with girls and have dates badly. However, when approaching a girls, I feel that I have no plan. If I start a conversation anyway, it might sometimes go OK in like the first 20 seconds, but then I end up not really knowing what to say. I know...

cronxeh, sorry for being so stubborn, but another question, but what kind of women are we actually talking about? You, as well as the video, suggest subtle physical contact etc. But I am absolutely not dating the woman in the video. The girl is a future academic and she's devoted to her...

Hello, the professor supervising my bachelor thesis is happy with the results. Together with another co-author, he is currently writing a paper for Physical Review Letters and is considering adding my results to it. However, for this purpose, he needs more general results. In other words, if...

Serious question: do you think I can do that like that? From nerd to man just like that? Should I practice? Should I try going to the cafeteria the like three days before the date and sit down next to a beautiful woman and try starting a conversation? Or something like that?

This guy is a genius and probably has years of practice. There are some good ideals, however. The subtle stroking and touching could be tried. I'd probably be timid and more than careful but I might try. BTW, very important question: shall we sit face to face or shall I try to take a seat...

It's always the same story. I've been in this situation before. Back then they talked me out of it and additionally I got scared that time for the bachelor thesis was insufficient. Back then, I've lost days of such contemplation in which I was rather slow or idle with my work. This got me...

Thanks, esp. cronxeh. You basically quoted this: This summer I have made a stand because I wanted to move away for my master. We had as fierce a row of conversations as ever and they talked me out of it. Without even inquiring all the details (about the fact whether I could or could not...

Thanks again for your answers! Sorry, guys, don't mean to be whiny again, but you make it sound so easy. I just don't see where I shall engage with other women socially and where I shall take the confidence for gentle backrubs etc. I mean in my Physics department, there is nobody I want...

Hi again, I have been thinking about the whole thing the last couple of days and wanted to write about that. I don't mean to be melodramatic or something, but upon contemplation I feel like I am making a complete fool of myself. When I think about it now, it's a completely stupid idea to...

Thanks Mentallic! For your suggestion and for your contributions to this thread as a whole. I've written to her a text which I think is honest and lovely and basically left the date of the 'date' for her to choose (from the time on when I'll be free).

Maybe I've missed something important in my description above, but I don't agree. First of all, I have an important work to hand in (more important than the girl or anything else). It's hard to spare an afternoon (not much time left), and more importantly, I want to be relaxed (like I was on the...

Hi, thanks for your replies, they are giving me some confidence :-) Now, there is another thing on which I could use some advice. Usually, she was the one to take some time for responses, I responded quite quickly. But from her last mail I know that she is now through with the most serious...

I can't be sure, but from our conversations I felt that she was mainly busy. Surely, if she had been burning to see me again, she would have found an opportunity. But for example, there are events of common interest (monthly or so) that both of us have been visiting regularly (it's also where...
