OP here.
I've been socializing and observing and I have the following questions:
- When does one know the time is right to ask a girl out? Is it a "you'll just know" kind of thing, or is it based on time spent together, or something else?
- I don't want to be alone, but I'm miserably awkward in public. I can't seem to remedy the situation. How do I stop being so awkward in social situations? I blush and I sweat and I stutter and I forget my name. Halp!
- What is appropriate conversation for friends? There doesn't seem to be any universal guideline for this that I've observed.
