LOVE, Kloudiia

Ha, I’m writing this with a bit of glee as it seems to affect only the guys Ok, not that I’m gloating over their misery, albeit usually short-term, I just thought these guys just seem so, cute?

I’ve had several encounters with some guys who came to me and asked me for help. With what? Well, they ran into this problem which I’d like to coin as “i-just-became-tongue-tied-when-i-looked-at-her-syndrome”. And, we’re not talking about guys who are shy, quiet and introverted in nature. We’re talking about people who could rant and rave about anything under the sun, moon and stars and they just became speechless when they meet their “bane”, or should I say, love of their life?

Why is this happening? Have you ever experienced a similar situation before? Multiple thoughts are running wild and internal voices are loud and shouting inside your head “Go talk to her go! What are you waiting for you dumbo?”, and however hard you attempted, you simply can’t even let the one “Hi” or “Hello” shoot out from your lips.

Welcome to the club guys! Bad news is your tongue has just called a strike, while good news is, it is only temporary and it doesn’t take a genius to overcome this.

I’m not sure if this works, but you could always test it out. I mean, what’s the worst thing that could possibly happen, except that you will lose one more chance of getting her phone number, but hey, if you look at the bright side of things, you get to bang your head on the wall one more time, which only means you’ll be stronger after that. Nice, isn’t it? ^o^

Practice saying “Hi” or “Hello” in front of the mirror, out loud and repeat this as many times as you can, both mentally (if you happen to be outside) and orally (in private) until this action becomes ingrained in your brain that before you even get to freeze right there in her presence, your natural instinct has already taken over and shot the greeting to her. All it takes is just the first “Hi”, and a well, maybe a slightly silly smile to get things moving and, yes, your tongue rolling.

Sounds easy doesn’t it? In all actual fact, there really isn’t any foolproof script of pick-up lines, because we girls will always put you under our mental radar test and no matter what is spitted out from your mouth, it just serves as, possibly, an icing on the cake or some laughters. Sincerity is still the one that will pick up the signal and gets the green light.

Someone once analysed and reasoned the cause of this syndrome, and he arrived at this conclusion – “This time round, I must truly be serious, for if not real love that can turn a man into a speechless jelly, then what else could it be?”
