    That's how it was with my man and me. I had to do all the chasing. He "didn't think a girl like me would like a guy like him" so he never considered that my flirting was honest xD and thought I was just being nice.

    TEACH ME! I can never tell when a girl's flirting with me. I don't notice subtleties and my mind always finds a way to take the most depressing path when it comes to that.

    Aww, honey xD Well, first piece of advice is something kinda mean that my oldest sister told le boyfriend. "Get over yourself." It is possible for girls to want to be with you, so stop being a pansy and accept your awesomocity.

    That's her basic just, anyway xD It's a lot easier to pick up on the subtlety when you accept that there's a chance for things to go well lol.

    That being said, it's hard to explain flirting. Everyone has their own style. Also, I've always been one of those blunt women who speak their mind. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I always wear tank tops. =p

    "Get over yourself," huh? A tall order, considering how I am. I am more than willing to try, of course. I just have no idea where to even begin addressing that.

    Eh, I don't see redeeming qualities in myself.
    I don't really see relationships going so well with me. Basing that on many past rl 'friendships'.
    I'm just a social and mental wreck.
    I've accepted it, and I move on...

    I know it's one of those easier said than done things, but it is quite honestly the best advice I've ever heard/received. You just have to trust in yourself and believe that you are so freaking amazing ^_^

    You have to learn to love yourself before you can truly love another person. Just spend some time working on /you/. I've met some of the most amazing people ever here, and it breaks my heart that they can't see themselves the way I see them.

    My biggest fear there is overdoing it and becoming one of those douchebags I so dislike. But as I said before, you're already helping with the self-confidence thing. I'm already on my way to feeling good about myself. The biggest hurdle is to transfer to relations with others, which is more difficult.

    But! One step at a time. I've been a brony for 1 month, and already I've gone from being cynical and bitter to pooping rainbows. That's quite a transformation for that kind of window. After all, you know what they say. You can't force chnage. It'll just come as it comes, certainly helped by certain things (bronies).

    I'm so happy that you're seeing a positive change in yourself ^_^ Change is scary, and it's hard, but trying to better yourself is always a noble and good thing. Also, the fact that you don't want to become a douche means you probably never will. Confidence doesn't make you an *squee!*. Being an *squee!* makes you an *squee!* =p Honestly though, you have it right. It takes time. One step at a time, one small detail at a time.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm like the poster girl for 'before and after'. I used to hate myself. Thought I was the most boring, plain, idiotic person around, and all that jazz. Them one day I decided that I didn't like who I was. So I changed. Instead of being a person who hated everything about myself, I became the kind of person who loves themself; flaws, quirks, and all =)

    There is one sole reason to why I won't get in a relationship any time soon:

    Romance.

    Honestly, I hate the stuff. Childish, I know, but I ain't shifting.

    To each their own =) The world is a machine, and machines require many different parts to work properly.
