[QUOTE="WhimsyTheFae, post: 2721950, member: 8964"] Wow, I think that Rel and Teflon Billy should start a business with the sorts of common sense advice that I've seen on these boards. Anyway, I'll second the need to get out there and get shot down. Like everything in life, practice will help you get better. Borrowing from Rel's lead, I've also had a few pieces of good advice from my father (sadly, he died just before I turned 18, so my younger brothers missed out on some of it - it isn't the same coming from an older brother): "You can't catch any fish if your line isn't in the water" - get out there and try. "Women aren't an object of desire, they are people and like to be talked to as such" - get to know them, be their friend, stop drooling. "Punch him square in the nose and he'll think twice." - oops, that one may not apply here :D Oh my, I almost forgot another one - not my dad's, but good advice from a Tae-Kwon-Do instructor: "You don't learn as much by winning as you do by losing. Get your butt kicked a few times and you will learn what you need to do if you want to prevent it in the future." - a fighting analogy, but it is applicable to many areas of life. [/QUOTE]
