ghall's mommy!! He started it! You can ask mad jew!Mommy! zflauaus is being mean to me!

And you are encouraging us because you/we are bored and need entertainment. This thread is doing a mighty fine job.
A gentleman cut from the same cloth, I reckon.
I second your opinion, which is why I tabled my suggestion that the good sir Ghall continue his quest until he has secured a date while his confidence run high, lest he be dashed.
All the best.
ghall, I've been following your thread here since it started. I hope it works out, but when's it gonna go down?
I sorta look like my avatar. Though I'm not a Simpsons charachter.
Well, here's what I look like in real life.
So, am I hot girl material?
BTW, I've shaved several times since that photo.
Well, sir, you are certainly not an unattractive guy in the least.
A lot of guys who are considered "unattractive" are actually in no way ugly, but rather, carry themselves in an unattractive way. This is true particularly amongst "nerds" and similar subcultures, perhaps because of some prevailing attitude about appearances not mattering or a lack of confidence.
Even the most unattractive guy can be moved up in ratings by a couple full points if they're well-groomed, well-dressed and well-put-together. The unfortunate thing is, especially amongst "nerds", most only dress up for special occassions, and never come to feel comfortable in anything outside of a baggy T-shirt and two-sizes-too-big jeans.
I say what I do with the utmost respect, sir, and am certainly not making any assumptions about your style or grooming habits. My advice is generalized, take only what applies to you and disregard the rest.
I hate to be a downer, but there's no way this girl wants to date you. She just doesn't know how to turn you down, which is why she didn't tell you how to get a ticket, or how her friends got tickets.
Hmmm, I guess I don't mind being a downer after all.

i think i keep coming back to this thread because in an earlier incarnation i had some similar geek teen obsessions that kept me up late, but to no avail. Discovered a new look and attitude (as in being true to myself) and could not swat them away fast enough. image is important, i'm sad to report. But damn! it works. Welcome to the real world. we are an image conscious society, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. dang, i said that out loud, crucifixion here i come...
I agree with ditching the hat...
I would say wearing polos would be suave as well. And cut yo hair and gel it up man.
That is all, good lucks.

You serious? 3 years of hopes and dreams gone just like that?
i think losing the baseball cap may be in order, unless, of course, one is attempting to conceal early onset male pattern baldness. in which case i would suggest the shaved look, which chicks are digging these days.
Well, I have literally lost that hat since that pic was taken. LOL
NEVAH!!!
Since when did this become a fashion advice thread?
Thanks anyway.
I would like to see another pic of you, maybe with your teeth showing and the hat off.
But anyways,
- I would shave more
- Ditch the glasses
- Get in shape if you are not already
- Go out to Abercrombie, American Eagle, Hollister, Polo, J. Crew etc and get some in style clothes (not that your are out of style, but believe me nice clothes make a difference). Make sure that the clothes fit good too- I find J. Crew shirts are too baggy in the shoulders. The Fitted look is in
- I can't really see your hair but it looks kinda scruffy, so get that taken care of
- I don't see a problem with wearing hats, but to ask for advice and cover up your hair is kinda silly. Hats are cool, I myself am not a hat wearer though, I'm not sure why

I don't really know how your relationship is with this girl... She might like you, but there is also the chance she is just being nice and polite. From what i've experienced observed its not common to get totally shot down i.e. "Want to go on a date"... "F*** no". Usually its more like "Um lets be friends" or something kind.
I am not one to determine that since I don't know you or her and how you two interact. Don't underestimate the relationship you may have, but also make sure you're not giving yourself false hope.

Hot chicks don't date nerds.
No, let me rephrase that. Hot chicks don't date nerds that would write about it on the internet.

To those asking this question...
I think this kinda started it
Take some advice, simple changes can help. Why not kick off the new school year as a new person. Sorry if that sounds... weird.

Well there are a few options
1) Preppy
2) Emo
3) Goth
4) Scene
5) Wal-Mart
6) Athletic clothes only
I don't think he would get good attention being 2 or 3 and I don't think he would fit into groups 2-4. 5 is what he should be avoiding. 6 is just stupid and shows a girl you have no sense of style #1 I think fits the best, and girls like it.
Take the ugly one on a date too. If the hot girl bites and goes with you, make sure to turn down her first suggestion on when to meet up. Why? Because you're "busy". Let her know (without directly telling her) that your free time is valuable. Have her meet up with you for coffee or something (DO NOT PAY FOR HERS!!). Tell her you can only chill for like 30 minutes because you have to run off to do/meet up with/etc. (insert event here). Chat and have some fun.
And for the love of God shave and do something with your hair.
Cheers mate!
Um, neither of them are ugly. They're both hot, but I just like one better than the other.

I do! I was just lazy the week that was taken.
Ghall is obviously a young man of character, as evinced by his spelling and punctuation! Iscariot and I obviously agree that he deserves the benefit of a doubt and our best wishes.
I think a lot of the fashion advice here is good, even if it is not as tactfully stated was Iscariot's. As a self-professed "nerd," you are certainly at risk for the unkempt, no-self-respect, clothes-don't-matter-so-I'm-going-to-continue-to-dress-like-a-toddler look that the posters here seem to suspect and that "hot" girls abhor.
The "preppy" advice is worthwhile -- that is what kids today, even the "hip-hop" kids, are doing. Girls spend a lot of time preparing to look "hot" (even if they are doing it largely for one another, as kind of a pack-heirarchy ritual) and they may reasonably expect you to do some work, too.
But I think you can do it, man! You're a good guy with a sense of humor and, I think, some personal insight. I continue to have a bad feeling about this particular girl, but I'm wrong a lot, and there are lots of great girls. I told my own son, "You know, [son], the thing about girls is that they're ALL great! Prissy girls, athletic girls, intellectual girls -- amazing, all of them!"
I don't know that any of us have helped with "three years of hopes and dreams." I just posted because I thought you were misunderstanding this girl's intentions. We all are pulling for you, though. You've certainly charmed the forum, especially, it seems, "Mad Jew"!

That's a narrow view of what style is. Where would you categorize me? I have on brown Steve Madden sneakers, darker-brown slacks, a black undershirt, a light brown bowling shirt with cream wings, black-framed glasses, and I sport a short faux-hawk. Hell, that's just today. What about my friend that's wearing sandals, a long ruffle skirt,a tie-dyed shirt, and has dreadlocks? What about my other friend that's wearing red Chuck Taylor's, bluejeans, a black undershirt, a dress shirt with rolled up sleaves, and has bleached spiked hair? I got the majority of my clothes from *gasp* J.C. Penneys because my girlfriend's mom works there and we get a discount. How does that factor in to your convoluted view of fashion?
