Today, I finally got the courage to approach a girl. I've never done anything like this before. She stared me down, not saying a word, until I felt so little that I just walked away. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for months now. She told me I was very cute and then walked off. I still don't have an answer. FML
Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to write a girl a note, with my number on it, and the words: "You're stunning. Get in touch sometime." Heart pounding, I saw her, got up, and passed her the note. Then I passed out at her feet. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to talk to the girl I like. After awkwardly saying hi, I manage to work up a nice conversation with her. I thought everything was going well, until I got home and realized that she had stolen money out of my wallet. FML
Today, it was my first time at the club. I saw a really cute girl. I finally worked up the courage to ask her to dance. Before I even got within five feet of her, she looked me in the eyes and vehemently shook her head. I did a 180. My friends saw everything. They are still laughing. FML
Today, I approached the girl I like, hoping to ask her out. Just as I strode up to her, she excused herself as quickly as she could. I then realized I'd forgotten to zip up my pants after going to the bathroom minutes before. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to send a message to the girl I've been crushing on for years. I'm now blocked. FML
Today, I built up the courage to approach my gym crush. I walked over, smiled, and said, "You smell amazing." I meant to say he looked amazing. He faintly smiled, then slowly went back to the rowing machines without saying a word. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl I like. After nervously fumbling through my words, I asked, "Want to grab a cup of water sometime?" She looked at me confused, then asked if I meant coffee. FML

Why would you expect her to say something? You walked up to her.

I don't think any of you understand what staring down means. She wasn't looking at him with her head cocked to the side, big round eyes peering innocently out from behind golden curls. If she was staring him down, she knew why he was there, and she wanted him to know how deeply she despised him for trying. I feel for you, OP.

Pimpin88, I think you forget one thing... don't you think everyone is happier when they're being themselves? I'd rather be myself and wear clothes that i want to wear than to be some ladiesman and having to change my entire lifestyle just to improve my chances of getting a good looking girlfriend. If only because there's more to a girl than looks, so I want to get to know them before i ask them out, instead of asking out a random stranger with a nice face.

I think the "neg" is too dangerous to be employed reliably. If I riffed off the one about the nails, I might try, "Nice ****! Are they real?" That would almost certainly result in a steamed walk-off. No woman wants a yes-man, but picking an issue to disagree on is very delicate. I haven't seen the pre-packaged list of negs, but I suggest that you do one that is sincere.

I'd say your man card has been revoked, but apparently you didn't have one to begin with.

Its okay man, at least you tried. Don't let this "rejection" tear your confidence down. Just learn from it and do even better next time. Good luck to ya :)

OP, that must have been so disheartening. :( The most important thing to remember is that women are people too: there's no particular trick or method or set of rules that you must follow, as every woman is different, just like men. The girl you approached was either really shy, or probably attracts an awful lot of attention and has become hardened to it. Don't let it make you give up hope: every rejection is worth it when you do get a yes and meet someone special. :) It can be scary talking to the opposite sex - try acting as casual as you can, and if you get a conversation started, try understatedly complimenting her on something non-sexual, like her earrings or her hair, or a cool top or a belt. The aim is to be as non-threatening and casual as possible, because many women are a bit suspicious of guys they don't know approaching them (unless it's at a party or something) because so many just want to get in their pants and nothing else. Good luck, and ignore everyone who's been harsh on here; they're just lacking in compassion!
