just wanted to drop by and say it lead to nothing (except for a couple of days of fun chatting) since I found out she's 17 (turning 18 this month) and I'm 27 so the age difference was way too much.
However, I wanna say that it was fucking great for my confidence. Also I felt like I had some worth for those couple of days. I even started giving a fuck about my house and life, started cleaning the entire house and doing push ups and shit.
At least I now know I have some basic ability to communicate with the opposite sex without looking like a total sperg.
She's still friendly, so at least it didn't end up with me being hated or anything I guess.
This at least has given me the confidence and will to want to try talking to random girls more (hopefully ones that are around my age).
I'd say if I have one advice to give is to care about the way you look (clean fitting clothes and groomed well) and to just take a leap of faith and try talking to people more. worst case scenario is that you don't even see them again, so who cares. but you might end up getting a huge confidence boost of even na friend/gf out of it.
