You're too negative about yourself. Drop the witty loser joke at the start, don't mention loser at all in your profile, change the bit about making noise with guitar than playing to you like to make noise with it.

Oh and crop your main pic, or find something else that has just you in it (I believe it comes across as being big headed).

Oh...travelling is a major thing for me, next destinations will be New York and probably Germany, No, this is not an invitation for you to come with me I was simply being informative ;)

Fix grammar in that sentence. "Travelling is major..." as you want to sound more formal and less like a girl. :p
Yes that means getting rid of the wink at the end as well.

I do tend to flirt more with people I know just for a laugh. When it comes to someone I have a romantic interest in I'll hold back a little as I don't want to give them the wrong idea. Maybe I need to dial it up a bit?

Have my 2nd date with her tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll feel I can flirt a bit more. Been really excited but now it's dawning on me that its tomorrow and the butterflies start to kick in. It's worse because I seem to feel more nervous as I really like her :(

I'd say so if you like her - get flirting - but not outrageously so... unless she wants it ;)

Exactly, just remember your limits. However, it's quite clear to most that from that sentance you need to start upping how clear about things you are. But just don't take it too far unless the signs are clear. I guess that's the best advice you can receive.

I got the "I'm paranoid I don't think you like me, I really like you but I find you hard to read" the other week. (It hurt a bit!!)

I was holding back too since I didn't want to appear to be full on. If I knew how much she liked me I probably would have flirted more. At the time I just didn't want to scare her off.

Butterflies are a great thing. It's like sitting in the dressing room of an important football (and / or other sport) match. You can turn the butterflies into good positive energy. If you get butterflies it's well, a true indication of how you're feeling.

To me, no butterflies mean that there isn't anything there. It's the feeling of excitement, the feeling of doing something which you know might go wrong and the feeling of trying to get soemthing that you really want.

Go for it, be confident and don't let them butterflies put you off! :)
 
Yeah love the butterflies feelings. :) It's a sign that your body is dealing with a huge amount of hormone releases owing to emotional and/or physical stimulation. Doesn't necessarily have to be about the opposite sex - as you said a sporting activity can do that too, or before a presentation. However, it's something to embrace and enjoy rather than something to be threatened by.

Absolutely. It's a tell tale sign that something is going well, or there is something there (ok it might be one way to begin with, but it's a sign from your self).

I had a football title decider last week (assistant manager due to my ACL going pop!) and you get butterflies then, same as the cup final last Thursday and I will have them before the Cup Final on Saturday. It's the most natural thing in the world and as you rightfully said FF, you need to embrace it and turn that confused butterfly energy into a positive feeling and thrive from it.

Depends on the situation, but at the moment I can't stop thinking about the girl I met the other day and when I'll see her next week. I've honestly never felt like this and love it!

Though I hate exam butterflys :S
