Achem.
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.

It's only because I'm a bit tipsy
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!

Thinks....
got it!

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

Or go for the Chompy route

That is quite possibly the sweetest way I've ever heard date rape mentioned.

I like to think I have a way with words

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 0:46, Reply)

You have.
Quite rapey would be my assessment!

*Ignore my sig*

Yeah, but sweet-rapey
He'd cuddle you afterwards

Aww
you're so mean Amberl.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 18 Jan 2011, 0:58, Reply)

Yep, I'm a contradiction
Or contra-dick-shun.
I don't think I'm that awesome, it's just false internet bravado for comedic purpose, I do lack self-confidence.

now I feel mean
you were pretty cool when I met you :)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:03, Reply)

I'm all good in that kind of pub b3ta social situation once I relax
It's more I have no self-confidence in approaching complete strangers.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:07, Reply)

But they;re complete strangers
whom you will never see again if it all goes wrong.

NB, I have yet to take my own advice on this

You may have noticed I was giving the same advice to Amberl
Do as I say, not as I do (or don't, in this case).
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:14, Reply)

Join the rest of b3ta in that
We'd never flirt with a total stranger make a real move on someone we liked
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:17, Reply)

Does this mean I'm not allowed on b3ta anymore?

Sorry Bella
if you have confidence in real life and are attractive and outgoing you're part of a very niche (but not unknown) section of /offtopic
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:21, Reply)

Hm.
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.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:24, Reply)

I would
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.
(berk, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:21, Reply)

You're right
I should modify that to ever making a genuine move
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 1:22, Reply)

True
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.

Well, it's either MTFU or frustrated wanking for you, m'dear.
