The one that got away?

CoorsLite

Hi all newbie here!

Just wanted to post this somewhere as it's been bugging me all week!

Last Sunday night I was out at a festival with a few of my buddies, basically, long story short, spotted a guy that kinda floated my boat a bit.
Unfortunately, between the jigs and reels (and the taxi that was booked for the way home!) I never got to chat to him but was rather awkwardly staring and smiling at him from a short distance - he was staring back, though maybe he was drunk!
Anyway, have been kicking myself that I didn't try and go up and talk to him, even though I knew my time was running out I couldn't pluck up the courage to go to him. Not sure really what I'm asking, maybe some advice on what to do the next time as I'm very shy when it comes to approaching guys...
Thanks for reading y'all....

Lick his face. Breaks the ice every time.

Welcome to After Hours OP

Expect a series of non-sarcastic, "agony aunt" style responses to your predicament.

And not a Fr.Ted or Simpsons quote in sight

Are you male or female?

So you looked at a guy?

Next step is to wave from a distance. A few years time you'll be holding hands with a guy. Then BOOM, 30 years time, you're walking down the aisle.

I was unaware that "pulling" drunk young lads was a problem for women. I am perplexed now.

Yep, I'd go with the face licking too.

Don't listen to these fools, next time you need to face his lick.

Not a great place to meet women as a lot of them tend to have Arann jumpers and beards.

I am a guy so my only natural response would be to punch him in the face..


Also yeah face licking can be good - as long as the face isn't covered in barf..

unless you're into that of course.

This probably is the wrong forum but at least I'm getting a good laugh from it.

Go over to the fella you fancy and ask him to educate you about beer, Coors Lite is some woeful shyte.

Next time casually saunter over to him and ask "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" and before he can answer pull out banana, give it to him, the walk away looking disappointed muttering "Aw shít".

Or you could just say "Hi!"

This is almost always the wrong forum.

The best advice you'll get is what you're probably telling yourself - be a little bit more confident, take a chance and say hi to people who look nice.

I know it's not easy but it (eventually) worked for me. And now I'm a stud.

I keep leaving the basement door open thankfully with their broken ankles they don't get far.

No sarcasm at all??!!! Thanks for all that, I think my main problem about approaching guys is if they have a girlfriend and if I approach him, is the girl with him gonna go mad?!!

It also helps if you put money in the purchase of the van. A few extra bob and a bit of imagination with the colour does wonders.

I saw a guy at a festival once.

He died soon afterwards.

I find it never runs away. A well, a bucket and some lotion is all you need to ensure it puts that lotion on its skin. Oh, and a firehose.

At a house party 9 years ago a girl just walked up to me and said "Hi, I'm Cathy." Got chatting, but I, being the respectful gentleman (Didn't know what to do), didn't try anything. 20 minutes later she has her hand on my leg so I figured "I may have a shot here..." A few minutes later I'm tonsil deep in cooties. Worked for her. So just introduce yourself is my advice. Oh, and be hot, she was pretty hot, that was kinda important.

It's always a great idea to chat someone up while they're in the company of their significant other. It makes for a wonderful anecdotal story later when you're icing your black eye. :cool:

Face Kicking is clearly a superior option, would have expected AH boardsies to realise this.

he must have been gay...anyone else would have licked your face before you licked theirs.
