as much as I do. It is because I simply don't understand and want to understand the way females are and work. I was at starbucks and some russian girl around my age (20s) walked inside and made eye contact, like her eyes were locked on me. Anyway, I didnt know what to do or how in the world I could get anywhere near her or a conversation with her and felt hopeless. Hopeless that I cant ever meet females even if I feel they are attracted to me. SHe stood away waiting for her drink so I didnt want to make it obvious by going to her nor did I know what to even say. She looked at me again when i walked out with my drink and sat outside and I realized than and there I lost my chance to say anything or invite her to join me later after she gets her, but even than I didnt even know how I was supposed to go on and do that and not make it seem ackward since I dont know her (nor any females). As she walked out she looked at my eyes again and left. Later I saw an asian with seathrough shoes walk in and she also looked at me and I had to look away she was starring at me so long. I usually look away first I am so intimidated by them and feel such a boy not a man when i see a real sexy woman, its like no matter what I cant get her simply because Im nto good enough, Im not even a man just a loser. And realized shes being waay too naive and stupid to even think Ill talk to her in any way or would even know how or would be anywhere good enough to even touch a real woman. I realized than why I can never get one, I simply dont even know how to communicate with them or be in their presence long enough and not ackward.

Enforcer,
Just like anything, the key to holding a coversation is practice and practice. Don't worry if you say something stupid. Don't go out there to 'touch' - let alone score. Just make friends and have fun.

Unless you're supremely confident it's pretty much a hopeless case to make friends with stranger girls at starbucks or clubs. It can be done (but I'm very good looking) however the best bet is to go to groups where people share a common interest (like a sport/art/charity).

Having a good job and a skill you're confident in would help your self perception. A clue: most girls don't care if you kick ass in martial arts. Do you play music?
