RESPONDING TO HANDSOME MEN THAT FLIRT OR SAY SOMETHING NICE TO ME

I always smile and look at the floor or pretend I'm in a hurry to go somewhere even though I'm not, because I'm so ridiculously shy.

They would literally have to outright say, Hey lets go to coffee! Y/N? And then I would say yes and that would be great. (*thanks in advance awesome guy from the future*)

I am bad at that too. My problem is that I instantly dismiss the idea that people are being sincere.

Took me like a year of flirtyness to realize my spouse even liked me.

Awwww! That's super cute though. I'm a huge romantic. You'll have to beguile me with stories about your first date/how you met etc. etc. I'd eat it all up.

What I'm really inexplicably bad at is not over-thinking basic social interactions. I've literally been obsessing over the wording for 3 simple thank-you notes for two solid hours. What if they think I'm being insincere? Or ungrateful? Or too casual? The possibilities of being viewed unfavorably are infinite.

And putting my hair up -- I just never figured out how so I have to keep my hair at a length that's just a bit too short to really do anything with.

Have you heard of pinterest.com?

They always have the greatest ideas/easy tutorials on such things!

Have a look! It's how I learned I could do a chignon!

I'm not even going to get into the romantical stuff (how's that for contrarian?), but also bad at:

- drawing
- estimating anything
- I couldn't carry a tune if you put it in a basket

I am horrible at math. Like even basic addition/subtraction. I always feel like an idiot when I try to do math.

basic communication skills. I'm one step up from pointing at an object and making a noise to articulate myself.

Keeping my riding pants clean

watching movies with people that actually want to watch the movie.

Driving and eating salad

@She Who Dares You need to give those handsome menz a little bit of encouragement. Just something simple and positive like "That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all week" or "Thanks -- that really made my day" will invariably lead to a date request.

@Mycroft: Duly noted. I will give it my best shot.
