Flirting with girls online/by text. I just can't do it 😩

So I don't have a problem getting numbers, some girls give it to me themselves, so I know I'm not ugly af or something.

I'm generally funny, my friends and female friends would describe me as one of the funniest guys they know. BUT when in texting an attractive girl, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY (sorry for the caps lock, ahem anyway)

Like I'll be confused on what to say, and the convo will be boring, just talking about how's uni going or something like that. I can't seem to get any banter going, I overthink and then be too nice. By too nice I mean, I just ask nice polite questions and am too cautious to not offend them. How can I break the ice in this situation and get a good conversation going? I just never know what to say.

I can't even talk sexual, because I just feel like a dirty pervert if I do. Even though it's so common for people to talk sexually 😫

Do not worry

Urgh it's so annoying, like literally if a 8/10 gives me her number I'll still screw up

But what if you're long distance? In person I'm not much better, I just want to be able to converse better by text

I always thought emojis were my shortcoming. I use them quite often. So what if i call her "pretty", she'll say thank and then what next? See what I mean I can't flirt :lol:

I may be good, but even good girls don't want a boring man :frown:

If you like good guys, maybe I should pm you :hubba:

To pass time?

So you're just telling someone you really like them and then you say it was all a lie?

What a great idea. Might as well try it. I wonder how my actions will affect the person I'm going to be writing to.

I wouldn't lie, just flirt a bit and have some good conversation. I'm not talking about leading someone on, I'd only flirt if I was attracted to them. If we didnt hit it off then I wouldn't continue.

Bump. Since its prime procrastination time 🌚
So? Just sounds like your not ready for girls. Get your confidence up by becoming successful, going to the gym ect...focus on bettering yourself and everything else will fall into place.

Yeah

That's what I call my dog
just be funny
Some girls like it, and some don't. Find out if they're into that first before trying it? :tongue:
