The warning signs were there, mate... when she said she was from Yate then you should've done a runner!

Zefan is right, think of it this way - you are much more likely to blag a situation if you are confident, so if you go up to a girl and ask her out you'll get on much better.
I'm absolutely ace at chatting to girls I don't know and making them laugh, but find it harder to build comfort from then on - but then again it doesn't really bother me I don't get a good reaction either. That's the skill - not reacting to anything negative.

I kinda get what you mean.
Girls seem to sense confidence a mile off. I find my confidence levels vairy, throughout the day
. I have more confidence at night, after leaving work for example, than compaired to heading to work in the morning. When I feel my level of confidence is higher, I tend to notice girls looking my way and giving 'the eyes/smile' a lot more.Through college or school was for them all.
But theres some real hot girls in college, like not in my classes or nothing, just see them walking around, thing is I haven't a clue how to even approach them and try get a pull. It's easy if they are in your work or class because you can talk to them easily enough since your pretty much together. But when you don't know them at all and it's a complete stranger how the hell can one do it lol. (refering to the O.P's m8 on that one).
(For the record I don't have a gf atm hence the above, alough a girl did ask me out I've kind of left it on hold the now just because I wanted to try my luck at some of them in college
)

Well single at the moment,
last technical "girlfriend" was a mate of a mates girlfriend.. lol =/ at school basically.
How people can just go up and talk to someone i don't know, not in the confidence side of things. I can manage that - i just thinks its rude! lol.
madness
maybe i need to throw caution to the wind!

Likewise, but different. I have absolutely no problem in talking to anyone and flirting, I frequently get refered to as hilarious (not being cocky, I'm just as funny as I say I am!). Sadly, I fall over by being too much of a clown and not showing any obvious interest. Before I know it, I'm their 'gay' best friend!
I'm also a bit too harsh in my humour, and have frequently been refered to as 'bender' from Futurama, as well as belonging to Slytherine! Lies I tell you.
So my advice to you, tomanders91, is to be confident with yourself. If you think you are attractive, other people will too. Just remember to actually make it obvious.....

Met her at her house party which I was randomly invited to, never even heard of her before that even though she went to my school!
Mate smashed her window, well , sort of mate, haven't spoken to him for over 3 years now!
Got an invite for one of her mates 18th birthday party's, went, found out it was her that invited me, blah blah blah, still with her 3 years later

She's currently on placement in Germany. I just arrived back in the UK after seeing her before Xmas after a terrifying landing in a 737, I don't mind flying but when the landing gear doesn't deploy on the first attempt it's quite scary.

My dad is an engineer on 737's and after a similar hard landing in one I asked him why all pilots tend to put them down hard.
Apparently there's some locking mechanism that has been known not to engage properly on gentle landings. So they land hard and fast just to be sure. Could be wrong as he explained it a while ago but you could always ask scuzi.
Anywhoo, I met my gf after my best mate invited her over to watch movies and scoff food for an evening (she was a good friend of his). Anyway by the end of the night we were hugging and the next day we decided to meet again at a park on a stupidly cold april evening and we got closer
Now spending my second xmas with her
I'm 20 in March and still never had one
Is that sad?
Tbh no, some people just shy away and it's not like it's un-natural you will find one one day, but it's all about confidence imo, I have the confidence to do it but im really puzzeled on how to ask a girl out thats a complete stranger, get to know her first then ask her out or sumit but it's how to do it
.I've always had one from a class in college or school but not trying with a complete stranger.
