though I genuinely don't just like him for his looks

Shame. You'll have to point him out when I come down next month. I promise I won't embarrass you...

I've had people do that to me and I genuinely wanted to stomp their face in to mush.

She said "My mate wants to snog you". I didn't think her mate was that good looking, so I said "Erm, no thank you". She demanded a reason, so I lied and said I had a girlfriend. She then said "No you don't, look at you!", which I think was harsh considering I was trying not to hurt her poor mate.

to be fair, I don't think I've made a total arse of myself since hitting 20, although I've always been quite shy about asking people out. That was mainly due to body issues though, and now I don't have any I do kind of wonder if the asking-someone-for-a-drink process would still turn me in to a blushing, stuttering fool.

I still do, but getting better. I imagine I'll still fumble over my tongue and accidentally call the girl a cunt when trying to ask her out...

and yeah, losing 30% of your body weight will do that to you. Of course I still have a few (flatchested, woo yay!) but on the whole I am gazillions better than I was.

Mind you, if she then says "Eugh, lesbians are evil!" then I've saved myself paying for a wasted dinner.
Hmm, i know my face and general appearance acts as a screening process for finding suitable ladies, maybe I should run through some quickfire questions as well?
1. Are you offended by any of the following: homosexuality, other races or religions, porn, sickipedia or video games?

with a very few but rather notable exceptions are not in to porn at all. Or particularly bothered about video games, with the exception of Rock Band.

Just don't like people who rant about it being disgusting. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm not evangelising it, just I don't think (caveat: normal porn!) it warrants hate-fueled rants.

just watching other people do it does nothing for me, and I find it slightly distasteful, but I don't hate it. There is an awful lot of fucking weird and nasty porn out there though, and I don't like that at all.

To the second, I'm desensitised to a LOT of the various kinks out there, but there are still some that are just nasty even if they do fall into my "it's all fine so long as it's between consenting adults" remit.

Get making small talk with him and see if he fancies a drink. If he politely declines, you've not lost anything. If he's a cunt and laughs or gossips, get the OT White Knight Brigade on the case!

Sorry to wade in, but having read this, it seems like you're having a wibbler over nothing. The solution is simple. Get drunk, try pulling him, if it doesn't work, blame the booze.

that I'm even thinking about it. And I can't do the drunk thing because last time I did that (it went horribly wrong) he was present!

Drugs. Go on a drugs bender, and THEN try and pull him.

I don't think I'm that awesome, it's just false internet bravado for comedic purpose, I do lack self-confidence.

It's more I have no self-confidence in approaching complete strangers.

I think it's because I don't *actually* like people I flirt with. By that, I mean that I don't want a relationship with them and don't care whether I ever see them again. I hate relationships.

and do. It's when it stops being harmless flirting and me taking a genuine interest in them (or rarely, vice versa) that I become a gibbering idiot.

I can talk to girls, but if I quite fancy them then there's no way I won't turn into a slurring, inarticulate mumbler.
