I've just been in a situation where someone took the only girl I was semi interested in. My shyness prevented me from intervening in getting this girl. Some guy less shy than me just took the girl I wanted. How do you prevent this from happening... I find that this happens all the time, someone is always out to steal the girl I want that night. How do I prevent this from happening? What is the proper way to tell someone to f' off of your girl? Right now I feel really heart torn, the girl that I think I might have an actual chance just disappeared with another guy. When do you shy people get a girl, probably never... It's starting to really get on my nerves. We shy people never get our dream person. How come people constantly mess with us? I'm getting really sick of people taking advantage of us.

I don't know how many rejections I can take. I don't know how long I can wait until the "right" girl will be with me. I don't even think any girl is meant for me. My life is spiraling down to nothingness. What's the point of life If you can't even communicate with the opposite sex.

You ask her out before he does. I mean, she's not really "your girl" in any sense here...

Bring a little tube of ex-lax around with you or something and sabotage the bastard's drink when he's not looking.

That's an interesting suggestion. I was the guy pouring drinks too, good advice. That still doesn't solve the problem of me being shy though.

haha. can you imagine an SA house party- there'd be shit everywhere.

But I totally identify with this. It has got to be one of the most devastating things- when you see that a girl likes you, you like her, but so do a bunch of other guys. and it's one of those other guys that eventually win her over as she occasionally glances at you looking concerned/disappointed thinking "why doesn't he like me?". fuck.

I can speak for the other side, at least. I'm a girl, I'm shy, and I do encounter a lot of shy guys at my college. One reason that a girl might go with the swoop-in, aggressive kind of guy could be because she didn't know the shy guy was interested. She doesn't want to feel rejected either, so if someone asks her, she often jumps at the chance.

But I understand what you mean. That has happened to me with guys. I can tell a guy is interested, yet because I don't give him enough encouragement or show that I'm interested in him, then boom! I see him suddenly getting a girlfriend, or talking to another girl. And I'm left trying to figure out what on earth just happened.
