I have plenty of friends I've known for a long time, thanks. At the new school I'm attending, not so much....

I'm just making a point that those that advocate doing stuff like picking up chicks at the grocery store are either lying, living in a fantasy world, or doing something that is pretty out of the ordinary as far as social norms go. Obviously parties and dorms and such are different. But remember not everyone lives in the dorms and getting invited to parties is an catch 22 if you don't know anyone to begin with...

Ok, here let me provide some input since I am currently having some experience with this. I broke up with my gf this summer and coming back to school seemed like it would suck because I really only hung out with her(mistake on my part). So what did I do? I made a effort to meet people. I put myself outside my comfort zone because I knew if I didn't I was going to have a crap-tastic year. So, what I did was I got back in contact with some girls I had met before but never really gotten to know beyond and introduction and just told them that I really wanted to meet new people to hang out with and I remember them being nice.

So, fast forward to now. I have gotten screwed(not in a good way) by some girls who obviously don't reciprocate the want to meet up and have fun. However, one girl did. I have gone out to parties with her and just went to her 20th b-day party. Through those I have met 10 or so people that I could easily become closer friends with. Not to mention this girl is pretty damn cute.

That's how it is done my friend. Just remember, it doesn't always work out. Don't get discouraged, you have to make an effort in college to meet people.

I'd imagine most parties will be like that, especially when it starts out with a few friends who know each other and then they bring over their own group. Chances are not everyone will know everyone. If you were invited, then you do know someone and that's a start. Grab a drink and mingle with the crowd.

As a teenager, you have networking resources everywhere. I'd say that if you're already looking for a website for a date or for friends at your age, then you're gonna have major interaction and communication issues as you get older, which will eventually affect your career and advancement.

All the people who post in these threads saying go outside are either lying or live somewhere totally different from myself. Cause everytime I go to class no one talks to each other, hell no one sits next to each other unless there aren't any other seats. Makes me feel damn strange to be the one starting conversations with random chicks in a quiet room...

Edit: This is also true of library, Starbucks, grocery, etc...

Quote for the motherfvcking truth. How the fvck do people strike up conversations in college? Well they don't unless the instructor assigns a group project.

Agreed about talking in class, but I did talk to pretty much everyone in my program in the various computer labs. Ask a question or have a question asked of you (helps if you generally seem like someone who knows their sh!t), and things flow from there. Computer labs are golden.

Why not just man up and meet people out in public?

Generally, a "hello" or other greeting in-context is how you start a conversation. Put it this way, to meet women you have to take chances. Life is about taking chances, about being uncomfortable. Just fight through that discomfort and talk to people... it really isn't that hard.

I feel the same way. Everybody's just so cold around here. Nobody talks to each other and just go their separate ways after class. I feel like a drone.

My friend who recently went to college in Chicago says the same thing. He thinks it has something to do with xenophobia or something (he's Indian)

Exactly!!!!

You can work your way up, by talking in very casual settings. Like an elevator. Go to Toastmasters.

You can just say good morning/evening to people on the street and smile. Learn to smile at people. Just doing that usually has a positive response. Start talking to waiters, or service people at coffee shops and food places. Talk to everyone.

Once you get the hang of that, the rest is cake. Talking to people you want to talk to become easier. Still challenging, but at least easier to handle.

Listen here you antisocial nerds

If all you dorks want to be the fvcking ring leader in all social circles at your school all you need is social confidence.

BREAK THE FVCKING MOLD PEOPLE!!! Stand out and be the one that talks to everyone and doesnt care that everyone else is too insecure to do so.

that is all there is too it.

stop waiting for a solution to the problem when you can solve it yourself.

Ok so so far,

Myspace seems to be the only thing out their thats interesting.

and to all those critics ive already posted this.

I get your point but I was looking to go about like this.

Images Writings > Email Conversations > Calling Over The Phone > Going Out

I sort of have trouble starting a talk. I have no problem once starting to talk with a girl , having it go on.

Grow a pair.

I talk to random girls all the time.
Just smile and make some stupid small talk comment.

Just 30 minutes ago when I was picking up my Acura there was a hot girl waiting.
I just smiled and said, "god, I hate waiting" She laughed and said yeah and bingo conversation started.

The best dating "site" for teenagers is school and especially lunch. If you really find the need to talk to people online, everyone around here seems to have an xanga site.

I agree with the people that say to just intentionally be "uncomfortable". I got a date the other day to six flags with this one chick.

Did it go well? Fuvk NO! She was a drug addict who was apparently dissapointed that six flags wasn't as fun when you aren't high, and made up some lame excuse to leave. We never really talked again, but hey, it was worth a shot.

Right now I am at that stage I realize everyone I do know don't want anything to do with me unless they are getting SOMETHING out of it. Whether that be venting to me, or trying to get me to do them a favor, etc. But even after meeting like 20 straight lousy leeches, I am not giving up. I already got a girl in mind I am going to ask out tomorrow in my next class. She isn't the hottest or anything, but I already broke the ice with her so it will be easier. You better believe I feel a little scared about being turned down by another chick who isn't even "all that". But guess what? I'm fuvking desperate! I admit it! I am! I will ask out a chick every class period if I have to.

I will put money on it that at least 1 out of every 10 will go out with me. Probably get the numbers of at least 25%.

This person speaks the truth.
<--Living proof. I'm now in college, and I still get nervous when another person is nearby. Seriously, other people, or even the possibility of the arrival of people, gets me feeling nervous or just on edge.

The same way you strike up a conversation with a total stranger anywhere else?

For some people, myself included, this simply has no answer, except: "Ok, exactly how does one strike up conversation with a total stranger?" Some of us literally do not have a clue as to how it is done properly.
