How to talk to girls?
« on: September 16, 2007, 09:32:05 pm »
I SOOOO went!  ;D I'm not going to lie, I went to get a few kicks out of it, which by the way I did, but I also learned quite a bit despite the fact that the panel was more directed to the male gender. I DEFINENTLY want to go again next year.

Did anyone else go?

I went to it last year. I agree that it was rather entertaining. Plus they well highlighted points many people would likely overlook.
When making presumptions, it seems like it wouldn't be too worthwhile, but its attendance exceeded the available space (last year at least).

I thought about it and had it marked. But then remembered I hadn't eaten all day and went to Oshima's Ramen instead. :P

Well, although I can't speak for last year's attendance, this year's attendance for the "How to talk to girls" panel was PACKED to the max.

I actually found myself talking to one of the guys after the panel, I had plans to meet up with him on Sunday but I never found him, my fault for not setting a specific meeting place and time *d'oh*

Steve Bennett was the host of this specific panel. From what I hear, Spike had a panel in the same room right before it and decided he wanted to help with it also. This just goes to show you what a great guy Spike Spencer is.

But Spikey wasn't there... :(

I dropped in when I was taking a breather from the Rave since it was right down the hall.
Yes, it was hellaciously packed. I stood by the door.

I did learn a lot in the couple minutes I was in there. I think I'm a bigger flirt when I'm not meaning to be. I found myself making a cat-call at Steve Bennett for a comment he made. (He stopped me Sunday on Artist Row for a picture with him, lol!)

Anyway. I DO plan to be there next year. *Crosses fingers* Please be there, please be there...

That may be possible. He'd said at his own pannel, "What Happens At Con..." that he was going to do the "Dating CookBook" and hang out to help Steve B with "How to Talk..."

That's alright though. I "lmao-ed" at "WHAC" so, I was satisfied. ^.^
He seems like an amazing guy. Hellaciously funny. *Starts making an "i <3 Spike" poster* lol

Yeah, there were a lot of shy girls (I didn't notice if any of the guys were shy, I'm sure it's very similar) running around.  For a lot of them it was their first real event like this and being approached in certain situations could be overwhelming.  I agree with a generic "How to Talk to People" panel, and not just relating to flirting.

well, I normally would talk if spoken too, but, other than Neko, and that hawt girl in the hawt pink hair, and some randoms, I didnt talk to anyone but Richard Epcar. I work at a fairly busy retail store, but I have a pretty good grasp on what I CAN and CANNOT say there, and although normally I'd bash someone in the face with my hand and scream "Speak to me" but I guess that's really not the BEST way to initiate friendships....i have clinically deep anthrophobia issues that are still annoying...

A group of friends and I tried going but that thing filled up FAST. x_x I was sort of dissapointed at how small the room was because the line in the hallway was HUGE.

oh my gosh, that room was TINY! Next year they should at LEAST give us the Conifer room ("Karaoke" room), but I have a feeling that would end up packed too. >.<

Yeah, Spike Spencer did the Dating Cookbook panel just before the "How to Talk to Girls" panel. He stayed for a few minutes before he had to leave to "Meet a girl." I stayed for Spike's panel and about an hour of Steve's, but then I had to leave.

Both were hilarious and gave some great tips. There were lots of shy guys at the "How to Talk to Girls" panel, and I know that one guy mustered up a lot of courage to ask a question. I really wanted to talk to him afterwards, but I answered his question, and then I had to go drive my sister home. -_- so sad. Is there any plan on getting a larger space for next year?

I need suggestions for my sister and dad for cosplay for NDK 2008. My sis is 5'5'' with a good build and my dad is 6'2'' and in general, just a BIG guy. We're thinking Goh from Godannar for him, but we're at a loss for her :(.

  If that is the guy I'm thinking of he was kind of standing behind and between me and another staff member and I have to give props to him for asking.  Doing things like that is one of the ways to get control your fear of public speaking and talking to strangers.

The really great thing is I saw him talking to one of the ladies who had been in the room after we all left.

Very good panel and I totally agree that the biggest room that can be scheduled for it, should be scheduled for it!

I stayed a good hour and a half after that panel with a friend of mine talking to a couple of guys that attended. I have to say, I haven't had a good conversation like that with a person of the opposite sex in a while.

I REALLY wish I could find that guy again. *le sigh* :(
