Question Posted Thursday December 11 2008, 12:52 pm
here is my dilemma. basically, i'm a pretty average guy. i'd say on on the shy side and i'm not that cocky or anything. in other words, i dont' try to draw too much attention to myself usually. my issue is that i have some attractive traits. like, i'm a funny guy, a good listener, i'm artistic, poetic, i play guitar very well, i'm an excellent cook. i have all of this positive and interesting things going on about me but i don't know how to let girls know. i'm not the kind of guy to randomly blurt out stuff or try to be a show off. to me that's in bad taste but i still want people to know what they are missing out on. how do you let someone know what you are into and what you are about without seeming cocky or seeming like you are bragging? any ideas would be appreciated.

but if you want to get out there and meet more people (particularly girls)start doing something you're interested in. go to coffee houses for poetry jams. join something musical at school. and when you find that girl you absolutely cannot live without, just talk to her. the way you describe yourself, it seems like she would probably like you without you bragging. hope that helps.

Like if your talking to friends and someone mentions something about playing the guitar or song, its okay to talk about playing, a few of my guy friends play the guitar and we all have fun listening to them play, they aren't cocky about it at all. The have confidence which is awesome and sexy, and its so cool to know more than one side of them. You have to put yourself out there, I don't mean like sexually, I mean just by being yourself and saying hey this is me. I'm not saying to walk up to every single person you see and be like "hey there, i play the guitar, and i rock" just the next time someone is talking to you, talk about your hobbies and what you like to do. There is nothing cocky about showing your true self. Just be who you are. You do have some attractive traits, so next time someone talks to you, its okay to talk about yourself, as long as you ask about them too. :)
Good luck,
and playing the guitar and being able to cook, hmm..thats pretty sweet, im not gonna lie. lol
