Oh, feth that gak! Stop talking yourself out of it! You're already preparing for failure there with that attitude, mate. It's sensible to manage one's expectations, but if you tell yourself you don't deserve this girl then, frankly, you won't. You have to demonstrate that you have what she's looking for, even if she doesn't know she's looking for it yet. She might be looking for a lad EXACTLY like you - hell, she might be sitting there hoping you're going to ask her out! Keep repeating to yourself all of the positive qualities you have, be bold, and you can get this girl.
The emphasis on 'focus' seems really unnecessary and out place there.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of me booking the next flight to Sweden...
Welcome to the Sweden, we got fun and games?
And meatballs. If I had the cash and confidence I'd fly over just for those.

Oh, so GM relationship update, currently dating two girls, and interviewing a prospective candidate for primary girlfriend. I credit a year selling toy soldiers for the ability to sell myself well enough to pull this off.
Yes all the girls know about each other.

Thank you. ♥ If you were to design a pickup line for a geek girl, what would it be?
Is that a lightsaber in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Is that a powersaber in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.
With guys (well the nerdier type that may not be as confident, etc.) you need to be as clear and transparent as possible, otherwise they may just think you're being friendly or joking around. Even then though, you might still make them feel uncomfortable... I mean, one of my biggest fantasies is that the hot chick i'm all googly eyed for walks up to me and makes the first move... and in the small handful of circumstances when that actually happens I've for the most part blown it because I was like 'umm umm what do I do, is this really happening??!?')
Anyway though, if you dig a guy, make a move. Most guys, at least in the US, really actually don't mind it at all if the woman gets a little aggressive. Actually... its kind of totally awesome. You don't necessarily have to use the cheesy pick up lines to do it either, a simple "hey, you want to go get coffee" (or whatever it is Swedish teens do for fun on a date) is usually enough to get the wheels of motion whirring, if things STILL aren't going anywhere, then be a little more forward, don't be afraid to get a little 'physical'. Hugs are usually good though they are also very much a just friends thing (though if you happen to hug him tight for a little longer than the usual 'greeting' hug it should put the right idea in his head), but you could also try messing with his hair in a playful manner(run your hands through his hair especially towards the back of his head and the neck area), holding his hand during a movie or while walking next to him (you can also put your arm though his, its a little classier and slightly more subtle but allows you to hold him a little closer to you), hell, even a kiss on the cheek at the end of the night can speak volumes.

I think it's time for another Tinder update: I re-made my profile to reset matches and whatnot, and that was about two weeks ago. Since then I've had one match, and that was an accidental swipe.
Going outside is looking more and more like a necessity.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke.
Yeah, I would have thought that was obvious, but hey-ho... Also, I'm pretty sure I just met my future wife tonight. I mean this girl was incredible in every way - smart, funny, nice and insanely hot. We kissed. I literally did this on the way home:

Well, I got one shot at this next week. I dont want to ask her out infront of other employees. I will see. Im only working with her once net week until closing. I know Im over thinking this, but Tuesdays they are nortorious for sending people home early and we have 4 people in there.
Wish me luck. Im going to pull the bandaid off
*sigh* I could do so much better with Tinder if I had a camera-bitch to follow me around for a week or two to document all the awesome gak I do (and just to take decent photos of me that reflect what I see when I look at myself in the mirror).

I've made three different profiles and I've rarely gotten a good looking match. Not having oodles of pictures to pic from sucks.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

Obviously, this is the part where you lock them in a small room with a snapped-off half of a pool cue on the floor between them.

I just moved to the UK and Tinder has been an absolutely fantastic way to meet an insane amount of girls. I've only been on for about a week and I've had 13 good matches but a bunch more duds. I've met three of them, all quality girls that look amazing, smell amazing, and can hold a decent conversation. Highly recommended.
Albatross, looks like we may be competing for tinder tail in the north, depending on what your preferences are at.

Mate, I met the most incredible girl last night, so I'm out of the game! The date went so well that we both simultaneously deleted our tinder accounts. Looks like we won't be crossing swords.
I have two friends who are nice, intelligent, and very beautiful. They basically told me they were almost never asked out by normal guys who were genuinely interested, but only by overconfident and empty-headed jerks who just want to score one more notch on their stick.

Not in that way! Dirty buggers.
Whereabouts you based, incidentally? Mcr?
Ha!
Based out of Sheffield for now, but there seems to be more than a few Manchester lasses sparking interest. Quite surprised at the amount of quality girls I'm meeting from all over the area. Never would have thought...
Tinder is a very simple app to connect you with girls/guys. You set your preferences, male/female, age and distance to search, and it gives you pics of the girls/guys matching your preferences. Swipe right if you like them, swipe left if they're mug. If you swipe right on someone, and they do it for you too, you can chat.
If you are 18+, I'd highly recommend it. Although word of warning for you, you will get a lot of dirty guys after one thing, but they should be easy to spot.
