Hey everyone. so I have this friend from college; a wonderful guy, but who is very shy (no thanks to him being slightly overweight.) I've tried to set him up with some girls, but no success. There is this one girl (who's incredibly cute, btw) who works at a Target near us and who he has a crush on. Any suggestions on how to get them together?
I try, at least lol. That's a possibility, I would just have to figure out what she likes and if he has any of the same likes. But I don't want to come off as the one hitting on her though.
My response might sound very harsh, but it is sincerely the best advice I can give...
Why don't you let your friend grow some balls and let him approach girls by himself?
I honestly don't think any decent girl would be all that impressed nor attracted by a guy who relies on his friend(s) to initiate a contact. The situation would be a little different if you were just a mutual friend between these two and were simply trying to introduce them to each other, but from the little information that you offered, it seems that his main issue is that he's too insecure to approach girls in the first place.
One day he might become really tired of being a shy insecure guy, work on himself and his appearance, gain some confidence and finally enter the dating scene; that or he'll join LushStories and ask women about their panties. Until then, there really isn't much you can do for him (unless the girl you mentioned is just as insecure/desperate as he is).
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime...
He NEEDS to. grow some. balls. and make an EFFORT,. QUIT relying on others to do his bidding.
To those saying he needs to grow some balls, he just has never done it cold before. Basically, in the college classes we had together, he would ask girls out, but usually not until near the end of the semester when he could get to know them. Since he doesn't work at Target, this isn't an option. And I figure I'd just try to help him this once.
if you have the power to help somebody out, do it. The world need more of that
Thanks for the support heat. I know what you mean.
I agree with curveygalore..plan something a party, get together, movie or something with just a few people and try that. Ya never know something could happen.
It ain't rocket science, take him to Target and introduce them.
