I'm not gonna say girls anymore, i'm 27...so i think i have to say ladies. Besides, ladies is much friendlier as well
Iv'e been unemployed for almost 1,5 years now. Before that, i had a great job for nine years, but hey , it is what it is, right? I did get into a small depression and wasn't interested in trying to find a nice lady or whatsoever. Simply sat at home most of the time, with my dog and i was fine with that.
Lately i'm really starting to feel like my old self again, i'm really trying to get a job, i'm following all kinds of projects which lead me to find a suitable job and things like that. I also am doing some voluntary work, so i am out of the house more and among other people...it's going great and i'm enjoying it alot.
And lately the 'interest' in women is coming back too, i notice that when i walk outside with the dog or by myself, i look at ladies and greet them or just enjoy those simple things, simply looking and nothing else. However, lately particular ladies have cought my eye, but i just ain't really good at this in life. People say..go out...talk to ladies, flirt with them...but no, i am not like that. I used to be incredibly shy when i was younger, and while i still might be alittle (as in not always looking people in the eyes when takling to them,not all the time that is) i am doing pretty ok in that.
I'll explain what i'm talking about. At this voluntary job, there's this lady, and i think i like her. But that's not enough, not enough to flat out ask someone out for a drink. I'd like to get to know her better...and i've gotten a bit 'rusty' at that. I'd like to start a conversation with her, talk about things. I just don't know exactly what. Maybe this is not something to ask advice/help for and maybe it should simply go automatically so to speak. Today i haven't had the chance to talk to her much, just a little. I know that she's a cat person, that she considers the cat as family, just like i consider my bulldog my family. So i know i can start a conversation about that next time. But what else? Like i said..maybe i shouldn't even ask advice on this, but i don't know. I'm only gonna be doing this voluntary work for a week, so i really hope to have gotten to know her alittle better and then i might ask if she'd like to go out for a drink with me, you know?
I ain't the outgoing person, with that i mean...clubs and things like that. That's not me. I also dont have friends in my neighborhood. All my real friends like like 2 hours away from me, it is what it is. I tried going to clubs by myself, or just concerts but it just aint really working for me..walking up to a nice lady and starting a conversation...tried, but didn't work. I have my own ways of trying to find a nice lady. I never tried internet dating sites, and for some reason i'm still not planning on doing that. Basically what is left for me is simply meeting someone by luck..in the park, in the store, anywhere. Or maybe on the working environment, anything like that.
Long story short..what are great subjects to talk to a lady about with? I am the type of person that can have great conversations with someone, but sadly i must have gotten to know the person alittle first, especially ladies. But anyways, i'm feeling real good...definitely some changes in my life now, with the project i'm following and the voluntary work, also going to the fitness club one day a week(part of the project too) so i might meet someone nice there as well. It's just that i don't like too many silent moments, i feel that its never good to have that. Nice and interesting conversations are much better, i just need to find out how, basically.
When i still had a job, and when i still had a girlfriend, i was very self confident and didn't worry about any ofthis. But it's pretty obvious i've become rusty at this, lol.
