You know, to be honest, the whole deal for me is that I really hate that feeling you get when you wonder what would have happened if you'd stepped outside of your box and done something unusual.
I could really care less how it goes, just having had the nerve to do whatever it was that I wanted to but was too scared/embarrassed/nervous to do is a good feeling.
I also tend to look for people who are comfortable in themselves and can appreciate and join in, or at least roll with, my antics.
Also, when random guys hit on girls they don't know- it comes across as super superfical, cause clearly it's based solely on looks. If the girl has a brain and is worth having, she's not going to be impressed. So I'd say you're best with looking within a group of people that you actually know.
I would love the person I date to be a good friend. Unfortunately, I only have two female friends that aren't off to school, and one is already an ex.
If I were in school it'd be a whole different ballgame, but working 40 hours a week in construction isn't really conducive to meeting interesting people, let alone attractive girls.
A question... is it weird for you to have a guy that you don't know start a conversation with you out of the blue? (Reverse sex for Thalberg, I suppose)
Intermission gives you like 10 whole minutes to get familiar. A losing battle I say.
I don't know... I've hit it off with people in less time than that. I know that in a setting like a concert I'm almost instantly interested in anyone in my age bracket (early 20's) simply because we're in the (usually) extreme minority.
I guess I just need to hit the concert hall and come back with results. (Anyone want to be my page-turner/wingman? =)). (It'll be great science!)
