I did the same thing at the registry office the last week, except that time the girl was with her mom and they both kept taking short glances at me.
I'm 30 and I've been alone since high school, so I'm beginning to feel like I've missed out on perhaps the best times of my life. I want to recompense as soon as possible.
So how do I shake off this autism before I regret everything I've done my whole life?
Jesus Christ, staring at women is not how you make a good first impression. She probably knew you were staring at her and didn't look up because she didn't want to deal with a creep like you.

This anon is right. I hate it when strange men state at me, it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable and sometimes even scares me. Public transport is not for ogling girls and it's really not the best place for finding a date...

haha! creep!

You seriously fell for this meme?

It all comes in steps.
>forget about love
>get fit and get nice clothes (if you're particularly offputting looking)
>get good friends that do shit
>become social, more comfortable
>develop yourself more
>talk to women platonically
>then get more comfortable and learn how to flirt, etc.
through it all, don't fucking stare. I don't even like it when attractive guys do that. Offputting and creepy.

It's not like I kept staring at her, I never stare. But yeah you're right, even if I took quick glances I might have gotten noticed, and that may have felt creepy, and maybe cringeworthy, but it was just an example.
I don't think I'll ever talk to someone I saw for the first time anyway. I obviously lack the skill and looks to compensate for the shock effect. I'm also really bad at small talk and I need some context before I talk to someone and keep the conversation going.
So yeah, I was just asking what I could do overcome this social awkwardness in general.

I'm a programmer. I lead a team of 10 so I'm not a complete fucking retard when it comes to social skills, only against women that I find attractive.

That was yesterday, the same day I wrote this stuff.
