Girls; question

Ok, it maybe weird to get this question from a girl but i'm asking for a friend, its a question that he asked me and to be honest i couldn't think of an answer for him. He's a really nice guy, really friendly, and not bad looking either, ok he's hot. Basically what he told me was the whenever he talks to a girl she thinks he's arrogant cos he spoke to her and thought he might be in with a chance and when he doesnlt speak to a girl she thinks he's stuck up or too good for her, which is really not that case. Do all girls think this about all guys or is it just the girls he picks or is he doing something wrong? I've never thought that about a guy who spoke or didn't speak to me. So whats is going on with him and these girls. Would you think a guy was arrogant just for speaking to you or stuck up just for not speaking to you? I felt really bad cos i couldn't answer his question cos it seemed to be really getting to him that he couldn't win with girls.

i might be a slightly shallow person, but even i would never think 'oh my gosh, he's talking to me, what an arrogant loser, he ACTUALLY thinks he has a chance with ME.' you'd have to be pretty self-obsessed to be like that.

to be quite honest i don't know many people who think like that. Actually, i did know one girl like that, she had bottle-thick glasses and kind of bucked beaver teeth, and thought that if a guy asked directions or for the time he was on the verge of raping her.

I'm really keen about a certain girl but it doesn't mean that my primary concern is getting into her pants.

No, i can't go out with him, he's my boyfriends housemate and he asked me since i am the only girl who is ever over there, so presumably the rest of the house are having similar problems (apart from one, who i know is complete arse).

No. It's all about BEING REALLY SERIOUS.

hippieglitter-

Maybe the problem is not that he is talking to a girl but what "he" is saying.
Perhaps he comes off as arrogant when he talks and when he is shy as well. maybe he acts defensive because he finds it hard to communicate with women.

If a girl likes you all you need to do is be kind. everything else will get you no where. unless she is a maso.and who wants a girl who likes to be hurt anyway?

ahh no i suppose you cant :p: tbh i dont know why girls arent talking to these lads, maybe its the situation they find themselves in when they ask out girls, ie they could appear arrogant in nightclubs.. cos theyre drunk and los theyre inhibitions.

You mean a stuck up emo?

Nothing immoral about good, clean, casual fun, as long as everybody's cards are laid on the table.

Anyway, most girls aren't going to think you're arrogant for approaching them, assuming your manner doesn't suggest that.

You sound like one, with the whole "sex is about love, doing it when not in love it WRONG" crap.

Either emo, or perhaps a little princess, or maybe a God botherer.

Yeah, I really didn't understand any of that OP.
