Hello
I will be a senior next year and I have two separate questions.
My status among my classmates is not very high. They tend to find others to sit next to in class and the girls don't flirt with me though they seem to do with almost any other boy.
I tend to be very confident and I am also a bit eccentric which, combined with me having been rather quiet in the beginning and still being so occasionally, may have made me less assertive in the eyes of my classmates. Both I and they consider me very intelligent I tend not to take things too seriously if I am not interested. I don't intend to pick any of them up but I would like to raise my status. Have you got any advice how I might do this?
My second question is about attracting the ladies. I am not interested in those in a lower grade than myself and I'm not certain about those in my grade. The seniors will only stay for another four months so it is about time if I am to make any progress with them. Thing is, I have never been sexually active before, not even had a girlfriend. But as I have mentioned, my confidence in myself is quite fine and I think girls find me rather attractive aswell. Do you think I may have luck pursuing the senors and should I try in the day or at parties?
Thanks heaps
well i'll start with this cuz its easier than Paetar's :-p
You my friend sound just like me. Intellectual, but not a geek. Everyone knows of you, but no one really knows YOU. At the beginning of my junior year, I had 3 girls phone numbers in my phone. One lived across the street, and we shared rides to school, the other was my physics lab partner, and the other was someone I worked with. I had never had a girlfriend in my life (and still haven't, but for different reasons

)
There are 2 possible scenarios for you though, depending on how big your school is. I personally attend a small school, with 824 students, 202 of those in my class. This made things hard, seeing as everyone knows everyone, and all about everyone's business. So describe your school to me, big, small, close knit, filled with cliques, urban, suburban, rural, etc.
Now for your second question, you shouldn't be too worried about women. Deffinitly don't let them know you are. The seniors are most likely out of your reach, just because they have such a short time left. With high school, things are slightly different than most of the methods out there. One reason is because you have to see the same people day in and day out, so you must prove you are alpha, not in a short period of time, but throught the year. Once again, this is largely dependant on the school you attend, and your standing within the school, so once I know more about that, I can help you out more.
Here are some basics for you though:
1. Girls won't flirt with you out of the blue. You need to open the set, and lead them into it.
2. A girl's attraction to you is based on three things. Your confidence, your ability to hold a conversation with her, and her friend's opinion of you. If her friends like you, you're pretty much golden.
3. Run game all day, everyday, on everyone. This includes guys and girls. If you're in Psych, then all PUAs are jelous of you because opening sets is so ridiculously easy. If not, pretend like you're interested in it. All girls will say their interested in psychology. Open with "So I was doing some reading for psych, and i came across this nifty (yes, use nifty, or some other wierd words. your vocabulary will set you apart from other people) test. I want you to think of.... and use "the cube" or some other set. i'll give you one of my personal favorites at the end of this post cuz it's getting long (what a suprize. i cant keep stuff short to save my life

)
4. and for this last one (for now atleast, i'm gettin tired of typing) is imparitive that you read this correctly, and all the way through. DON'T stop half way through, cuz you won't get the right idea. Your friends make a difference in high school. You need to be able to get along with everyone. Have friends who play football, who are geeks, who are smart, who are dumb, who act, who work in the library, who are environmentalists, who do illegal things, who are straight-edge. You need to get along with almost everyone. It's ok to not like certain people, but not certain groups. Don't belong to a clique, be a "floater". Now for the important part.
DON'T ABANDON YOUR FRIENDS. You need to get along with everyone, but that doesn't mean that your friend's arent cutting it now, so you need new ones, because that is not true.
So yeah, that got really long. I think you reminded me of my past self, so that could be why... Hope it helps a bit, and i'll get more spefic whenever you give me more details about your school and yourself.
