i live in london. nobody talks.
this being said, my new flatmate was telling me that she was squashed on the pic line the other morning when some woman tried to force her way in, in clear defiance of physics and gravity. the doors kept opening and shutting and opening and shutting. eventually m lost her temper and said in a loud new york voice:

"lady. there is no room for you here. move on."

she was really surprised that nobody else said anything or looked anywhere but down at their feet. she also said to me "she was getting right up in my grille" and when i asked her for a new york way to tell a guy that he is hot, her response was: "supersexy, fly and smokin'" - no way could i pull that off...

Punch them in the arm and run away.
That's how I let men know I like them.

Is they why you want to do this fitness course?
So you can run away faster, having hit the object of your affections harder?

No the fitness course is so they don't want to run in the opposite direction.

It doesn't matter where you're from or are
Unless you are currently in Harlem in 1977 with an afro the size of Friz's head - you can't pull off calling someone "supersexy, fly and smokin" without sounding like a colossal knobjockey. I wouldn't worry about it.

I also know that anyone who said that to a bloke as a compliment
wouldn't fucking see him for dust, unless he was the worst kind of Hoxton twat imaginable.

go on, rswipe
don't tell me you don't know how to pull
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:22, Reply)

well, ok
it's not my first time.

what i need is help on pulling the ones i fancy, and not ending up in bed with the ones i don't, because i am actually too shy to speak to the ones i reeeeeeeally like.

just buy them a drink
it's verrry simple, buy them a drink, then goad them into having a shot--not some girly thing you'd drink--then chat, it's simple
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:33, Reply)

if i don't fancy them
i can flirt/talk dirty for britain and/or just chat for hours about bollocks, all calm and relaxed.

if i fancy them, everything comes out as "mmmmffff" whilst i stare at my feet and then spend the whole night in a dripping frenzy of agonisingly suppressed lust wondering if he is ever going to get his act together and snog me or if i am going home to kick myself to death.

you really need to up the confidence levels, even if you don't feel it just pretend
