You know, it was absolutely the same for me when I was an exchange student in the US. It's a different "friendship culture" and the dynamics in schools are so different. It's not you. It's the cultural differences.
Hmm... I don't know.

In this case, it's you, not them! :wink: I see that in sooooo many introverts I know. I have always been more attracted to the shy, brainy guys, but I never knew how to approach and I was always afraid of getting rejected ("I'm not smart enough" "They think I'm too sugary"). It's as tough for the girls as it is for you! :wink:
When it comes to nerdy boys, you can be nearly certain they will not turn you away! At least not if they are F nerds.
Besides, you're definitely smart enough!
When it comes to me, though, I think the girls would hesitate any way. You haven't seen me in RL. That would certainly change your opinion.
Let me put it this way: I have met people who looked worse than me. But not many.

Do walk on pink clouds because you are the type of man I would be very interested in: Shy, intelligent, funny, non-pretentious, eloquent and super-cute! The comment was in jest only because you are quite a bit younger than I am.
I think I just sprouted angel wings...
Super-cute...
Seriously, I will save this thread somewhere and read it whenever I feel down. It will be enough to bring me out of anything, even a full-scale depression.

You know, I really appreciate your honesty because I have to be reminded that I cannot always blurt out what comes into my head. Imagine this: I meet an INTj, I kiss him, I ask him the same thing. Was he freaked out? Hell yes! Did I have any right to freak him out like that? No, I didn't and to this day I'm embarrassed (although it's been addressed and all). My impulsiveness gets the best of me and I act without thinking...Not a good thing. I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable. But, ehm, my positive emotions only come out like that when I really like people!
I can probably say that this INTj was very flattered, even as he was embarassed and intimidated. And, for what it's worth, I admire that impulsiveness, at the same time as I am jealous of it. If I just could go around telling what I felt like you ... That's what makes you ENFps the envy of the world (No, shut up, evil NTs! They are).

Actually, I would find it very charming! LIke you said scatteredness can be charming. I really really like non-pretentious people.
Thank you. It is good to hear that even such "qualities" can be appreciated .

No, you just sound insecure. Keep in mind that girls are insecure, too. Give them a chance!

Again, sorry! I will stop throwing inappropriate (well, I'll try at least)!
Hey, Fi is my dominant function, no sweat :wink: . I can handle it... I hope.

I know that girls are insecure, too. Intellectually. My Ti knows it. My Fi does not. I know it, but I don't understand it. It's like trying to follow a Moebius strip with your eyes.
