Okay so here's what happened today at school. Please read all!
First period was algebra. The teacher was strict (no talking) so i don't feel so bad about not talking to any girls.
period 2 was science. There wasn't alot of attractive girls but i still could have talk to this hb6 to my left. I didn't have the confidence to talk to her in front of other people.
In period 3 i came in late. It was world history. There were people that i knew that said whats up and stuff when i came in so i had some Social value. There was this hb8 latina sitting three chairs to my left so i could have talked to her at the end of class but i didnt have my confidence. The reason my confidence was so low in the beginning was because i had about 4 or 5 opportunities to say "how you doing" or "hi cutie" to girls walking in the hallway by themselves. a pair of hb8's and hb9's but i blew all of them.
In period 4 i gained some of that confidence back. we had a little assignment in english where we have to have a conversation with someone for 15 minutes we were provided questions to ask and we had to write them down (like what sport you like fav show) . So i took this opportunity to walk over to this hb8 and we had a nice little conversation we laughed a few times but i had a weak close. I didnt get the number and when i left i said see ya later and gave a wave and she gave a weak lil bye back. How could i have made a stronger close?
in period 5 i played basketball. nothing to tell there. had a fun time playing b-ball with other guys
at lunch it was kind of akward. i had no idea where to sit but luckily one of my football teammates were there so i sat at his table and had a convo about f-ball. a hb7 came over "and said youre in my seat can you get up" i said" if you ask nicely" so she asked nicely i got up and she said "you can sit next to me" so i said ok and she asked for my name. "My name's ____" so we sit down this is when i really have no idea what to do next. two more girls come over. a hb8 sits across from me and an hb9 sat next to my right. I had said "how are you" to the hb9 before but she just sat there to talk to her friends (i think). Most of the time i was either talking to my guy friend or eating looking around or texting other people. I tapped the hb7 that had told me to get up (bad kino) and told her to watch my seat. so i left and went to talk to some guy friends i had spotted across the lunch room. I came back and the hb7 said "i watched your seat for you" i said "why thank you" (lame i know) So i just listened to my ipod the rest of the time until lunch was over which was very akward.
In period 6 it was also very akward. English again. I was the only junior in a sophmore class. I didn't know the teacher and i didn't know anybody. There was however this hb10 across from me she was very outgoing. As a matter of fact the reason it was so akward was because everybody was outgoing and talking out loud. i wasnt prepared for this. I replied to the teacher Yup and the hb10 across from me mocked me in a deep voice (i have a deep voice) so 2mrw i plan on mocking her when she says something. ONly once though so the whole class doesn't think im boring.
Period 7 is spanish. Im familar with the teacher i had last year and shes familar with me. Im in a confortable enviroment and there was an assignment where you go around the room and ask people spanish questions. and hb6 came over and we had a lil convo. i felt a connection because we both sucked at spanish and we laughed about it. We only had enough for two questions. That hb6 and i asked a coo black dude one.
At then end of school i went to my locker a white hb8 slightly bumped into me she was 2 lockers away but i didnt say anything i wanted to say "so how was your day" and introduce myself. but i couldn't get the words out. But i plan on asking her 2mrw at the end of the day. I think she will be there.
If you read this whole thing you are awesome. I really need some advice on how i could do better especially with the lunch period and period 6 where everybody is outgoing except for me. Also saying anything to girls in the halls by them selves is a big problem for me
First of all, relax. You're in high school. 90% of the people within the walls of your school will mean nothing to you 4 years after you graduate. Keep that in mind. Stay out of trouble and avoid hurting people, and you'll be fine. People become popular and unpopular for the strangest reasons, so you shouldn't put much value on what MOST people think in high school. Focus on SOME people.
Make new female friends. Making female friends is key to meeting women in high school and college. The more females friends you have; the more females you can meet.
Now, because I understand how frustrating high school can be, I will break down your day period by period.
Period 1
That's fine. Do what you have to do to pass your algebra class. You don't have to talk to girls everywhere.
Period 2
School gaming is not about talking only to physically attractive girls. You need to network. EVERY person in high school knows someone who is attractive. I suggest getting to know some girls that you don't necessarily find physically attractive. You could end up making a lifetime friend who could hang out with you, talk to you, and introduce you to other people. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Period 3
Don't let the hallways get you down. You need to do classroom game before you start approaching moving sets. It will help you make friends and hone your skills. I don't think I've ever seen a moving approach in the hallways, and I'm in college. That girl in your class will be there again. Try to get to class on time and sit next to her. As a matter of fact, try to sit next to a girl in all of your classes. It makes everything much easier. You can pass them notes and funny pictures.
Period 4
YOU DID A GOOD JOB BY NOT GOING FOR THE NUMBER. Trust me. You're going to be in class with her for many,many weeks. You don't want her to think that you're just a "player" who wants her number. Talk to her everyday. If she's fun to talk to, then after at least a week of chatting her up, ask her if she wants to hang out outside of class. The number will come naturally. If she says yes, then you've got it. If she says no, then keep talking to her like she never said anything. Try again no sooner than a week later.
Period 5
You had fun with other people. That's very important. Do what you love. Play ball with them more. Ask them about their favorite teams. Make new friends.
Lunch
You play football? That's definitely a status boost in high school. There are already alot of students who respect you just because you put on the pads. It's very good that you had that guy friend. See what I mean about having friends? You played the whole "this is my seat" thing well. You made her qualify herself. Did you ask for her name after she asked for yours? You definitely should have. When the other two girls sat down, you should have made eye contact and introduced yourself to them. Next, you should have asked them for their names one at a time. Talking to your other friends was good social proofing. Relax,man. Listening to your ipod was okay. There wasn't much talking going on there, anyway.
Period 6
You have two English classes? Don't worry so much about being the onl junior in a sophmore class. I was once the only senior in a freshman class, and I still had fun. I felt wierd at first, but people in the class accepted me despite my grade level. I was very talkative near the end of year, yet I was upset; I had waited too long to warm up to everyone. I could have been enjoying myself from day one. Don't make the same mistake that I did. Mocking that girl will work well if she has a distinct voice. Good thinking to only do it once if you do it. If she mocks you again, go up to her after class and tell her that you're going to call her Mockingbird. Tease her with that name for as long as you see fit.
Period 7
When you walk into Spanish, sit next to the girl you met and say a funny Spanish phrase in a really bad accent. She should laugh. After talking to her for a few days, ask her if she wants to be study buddies. Then get her number.
The Locker
Just say "Hi, I'm Demerson30." Extend your hand. Make eye contact. Smile. Then say, "Now we don't have to pretend we don't see each other." Smile. Laugh. Go home. Talk to her more everyday. Saying "so how was your day" will most likely put you in the friend zone, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Have fun. Relax. Reply with a play-by-play of your next day of school.
