Its worth a try, just try to be friendly with her, cheer her up when she feels down, y'know. Just don't rush into things man, keep things under control, notice I didn't say 'keep it slow' because you just might be more comfortable with moving the relationship along a little faster than I might. Just remember not to go _too_ fast.
You can skip the rest of this post unless you want a long read.
While I might just seem like another lectuer, hiding behind the internet and my keyboard, I just want to be honest with you.
I have only ever dated 2 girls.
No, seriously, I'm 18 and have only ever dated 2 girls.
The first one. Well, lets say I wasn't being 'myself' around her, I was lieing to her, always trying to impress her somehow, but I'd never done anything I said, so it really never got past the second movie date.
The second one, I will be honest, I did not lie. I was true to what people had told me, all this "Don't *i-need-a-broader-vocab* lie to her. No matter what." Serisouly, its the truth. You CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT keep a relationship of any kind together for any lengthy time if it is based on lies. The relationship with this particular girl lasted 2 and a half years. Yep, but by then we had to break it off due to Uni and stuff. Anyway, suffice to say that she was my first time, and I do not regret it.
Moving on: I have but a few pointers, some I have found out the easy way, some I have been told, and some I have found out the very painfully hard way...
Keep in mind these are in no particular order, they are all as important as each other: its just as I think of them I type them.
1. Be yourself.
I know its easy to say, and everyone has that nagging voice "but what if she doesn't like me for who I am" Yeah, I know man, I know how that feels. But trust me on this: Girls can learn to like things about you no matter how *i-need-a-broader-vocab* up they seem to be, but only if you can admit it. Yes, I like anthropomorphic porn, thats me. If you don't like it, well I'm not going to stop liking it, but I will do my best not to shove it in your face.
2. Do not be judgemental about the way she is.
Its a two way thing man, if she is going to have to put up with you, then you are going to have to put up with her.
Well on a serious note, everyone has their flaws, and you just have to get over them, because I can guarantee you that there may well be that one person that is just MADE for you, but the chances you will even SEE that person in your lifetime, let alone find their name out, or even wave at them, are astronomical. 6 billion people in this world man, while I say its very unlikely, there is always that chance.
3. Do. Not. Lie.
I'm not going to go over why, its explained above. Just a word of sympathy; I know how easy it is to lie, hell why do you think I've only had two girlfriends in my entire life? Because I used to lie about nearly everything about me. Some people can just tell when others are lieing, some take a little longer to figure out after they do the math (You are a drummer? Well why can't you show me? I've even got a drum set for you!) Others can take a much longer time, but everyone finds out in the end one way or another. Its just the universal law.
4. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
This one is self explanitory, girls are not objects. They are not 'things' to be used and exploited by men, they just aren't. They are human *i-need-a-broader-vocab* beings. Your girlfriend does not just have to be someone you like to have intercourse with, or that you just go to the movies with, they can become truely close friends. There for support, there for that hug that means a thousands words. Do not be afriad to open up to them, honesty is one of the greatest privilages a relationship can have. Besides, unless you are lieing about something, then what do you have to fear? This may sound like I'm saying pour your heart into them on the first date. Heck no man, you have to first get the respect there, the trust which is built up by simply being friends, hanging out, then you move on to the next steps.
5. Try to find out what kind of a person she would like you to be.
I know this sounds like I'm saying "Find out, then LIE SO YOU SEEM LIKE YOU ARE" but thats not it. What I'm saying is, does she like overly obsessive devotion? Does she like a bit of slack? Does she like to be showered with gifts? Does she like to pick the dirt from her toenails and throw them at grannies? Would she want you to keep her company while she flicks her toenail dirt at grannies? Y'know, find out her habbits and persona, likess and dislikes.
6. Be self confident.
There is honestly nothing more of a turn off than a whimpering sobbing pathetic excuse of a male for girls. Serisouly. YOU ARE NOT THAT UGLY. Unless you got hit with a medieval spiked MACE when you were born - REPEATEDLY - then for christs sake you are not ugly. Just because you think you are. Take some god damn pride in the way you look. If you want to be scruffy, then fine, but at least be scruffy in a clean way, rather than an unwashed way. And... well you should get my drift here. Dress how you want, but don't put your personal hygiene at the bottom of your 'list of importance'. I'm sure no girl would want to kiss you if you had bad breath, let alone go down on your unwashed package. Thats just gross.
Man my fingers are aching. Thats two long posts in what 30 mins?
Anywho, if nothing else I wish you luck, and hope I have helped in some tiny way.
Life sucks man, but sharing it with someone always means you can help each other deal with the suckage.
