Incoming college freshmen often seek friendships and connections, leading to awkward encounters with upperclassmen who may not be interested in engaging. Some upperclassmen express frustration at these interactions, feeling disturbed when approached by freshmen who expect immediate camaraderie without a conversation starter. Others advocate for a more empathetic approach, suggesting that freshmen are simply navigating a new and intimidating environment. The discussion highlights varying attitudes towards forming friendships with younger students, with some finding value in these connections while others prefer to maintain distance. Overall, the thread reflects the complexities of social dynamics in college settings.

It's also a sure-fire hit if there's a twinkle in her eyes indicating interest, and you say "You have such pretty eyes." Nothing brings a blush to a lady's cheeks faster than an honest and inoffensive little compliment.

WARNING: Do not try this at home.

That will for sure make a lady blush and then she will deny it :rolleyes:

You could use the "Women are like wine, the older they are the finer they taste" line :wink:
