Can I say from the other POV, you are waaaaay overthinking this. Seriously. Just calm down already. You think girls don't get nervous too? Just take a few deep breaths.

And yes as above, there's nothing wrong with making a good friend. That's not a loss, right?

I know it doesn't really help to hear this, but the truth is, the more you work yourself up over a girl/girls in general, the less likely it is anything is going "to happen". Once you decide you don't care anymore, and you are cool with yourself the way you are/life the way it is/etc etc, then, well, it happens. How much you stressed over it previous that - in the end, doesn't really factor.

Deep breaths.

You'll be fine.

Seems really good but I have just 1 worry; will these "socially acceptable" responses get you laid?
If you have to ask, you don't know.

Omg I know others have said this but let me reinforce that you are thinking WAY too much. Hugs should be just that - hugs, without all the mental calculating x_x

@everybody: Ok, all hugs from these arms will henceforth be given vigorously--I daresay, even with reckless abandon.

@JohannesH: Ummm.... I'm not really entirely sure of my romantic objectives at this point. I very much like the idea of having a girlfriend, but am not even sure I the emotional (and potentially physical) implications of a relationship would make me happier than I am today, since I'm a pretty damn happy guy, generally speaking! Even so, I feel that my complete ineptitude in the flirting department is causing me to miss out on a big part of life that I might potentially enjoy

@Smix: Hi! :p

@chocopan: Girls get nervous too? Most of the girls I spend time with are incredibly intelligent, good-looking, and have very strong decisive personalities. I can hardly imagine them getting nervous around little ol' me :/ I will take your advice, however, and for this advice I must thank you heartily! (Not caring seems to be an extremely effective strategy that I will carefully work into each and every one of my painstakingly crafted responses, hehehe)

Oh, and to all subsequent readers, could you help me fill in the blanks in my condition/response section in the OP?

I really have no idea how to hug somebody of my same height... does one shoulder go over the other and the other shoulder go under? Is the protocol right-over, left-under, or is it right-under, left-over?

Also, what do I do when the "tender moment" ensues? Do I just let the hug drag on awkwardly? How do I go in for a kiss? If my arms are now wrapped around her and I'm in an awkwardly-balanced situation, how do I disengage?

And what do I do, when a pickup line actually piques her attention? How do I make the transition from sarcastic humor to the tender vulnerability that is necessary for conveying my true feelings?

Anyway, the answers I keep getting are "don't think about it, just let it happen ;P" but in practice, these are highly nontrivial questions, whose obvious answers have gotten me into weird situations. (e.g. mmmmmmm hug is waaaaaaarmmmmm -> "uhhhhh.... you can let go now...")

Be sincere. That's the only advice I'd give, if you like her, then be yourself.

If she likes you as well, then you making an effort is all that counts.

sorry i just re read my post i put in way too many 'wtfs' hahah i'm so ineloquent -0 -
well actually thinking about it i've never hugged anyone that was WAY shorter than me i think.. so.. maybe you're really tall? but you definitely do not have to do some 1 arm above shoulder 1 arm under armpit thing hahahah can you imagine that happening?

i guess if you're way taller then you just hug like.. around her arms? lol

I'm not very tall, but the girls I've hugged have been of veeeery different heights (one of them was my 10-year old cousin who is just adorable!)

uhh dude. Having made up responses is not the way to go. Its obviously not gona come out natural not to mention your responses are terrible in the first place. That kinda thing will only work if you can actually deliver it naturally in a joking way. If you say that stuff awkwardly they will just be like ??Wtf?

like what every is saying. Just relax and dont overthink it. Like if some random girl says hi, just try to make some small talk. There is at least a chance that you guys might have some common interest to talk about. If you start with some pickup line there is no chance for anything.

if you don't have a mental checklist for guys, you don't need one for girls. girls will see through your bullshit canned responses from a mile away and will just label you as another guy who doesn't have the balls to treat a hot girl like a normal person.

also if you really want to work on your hugging, i'd imagine practicing with someone irl would be a lot more helpful than asking advice on a forum. you should do one of those 'free hugs' things. you'll be an expert in no time ;p

man who cares about being socially acceptable... it's too overated and im not exaggerating or sarcastic. As long as you don't do anything retarded to PURPOSELY seek attention to yourself doesn't bother me (ca'nt speak for others).

i mean seriously think about it. "okay im socially accepted, i got a few friends and its all because i put on a retarded memorized act to get it". I can't speak for you but i don't personally feel accomplished nor feel close to the friends i've made that way.

There are people that actually like those that break social norms, me for example, because they're just so much more fun to be around. I do'nt want all my friends to be some mindless normal boy that just follows the social bible about how to act. Be yourself and say whatever you want that comes to your mind. If anyone has the balls to do that in front of people just because its the way they are, my respect for them sky rockets.

But becareful not to over do it to the point where you PURPOSELY drag attention on youreslf, in that case its just annoying.

Just be honest about everything, why don't you admit your problems to a female or osmeone in real life, im' sure they'll respect you for having the balls to admit it in public in front of people. And if they diss you on it, fuck them, they do'nt worth your time anyways.

If you're actually friends with a girl, then you should never seriously use a pickup line. Ever. If you're friends, you'll know her well enough to be able to tell if she likes you, and things can move on from there. You don't just call up a friend and recite some one-liner. I guarantee she will say "wtf", or worse, nothing at all and that friendship will suddenly get veeery awkward.

If you're sort of friends with a girl (more like acquaintances) , but you feel you've been "friend zoned", it either means you need to man up and make a move (READ: A move is not always something drastic. DO NOT USE your pickup lines. They are terrible.) or she makes you feel like you're just friends because she is not into you.

Most importantly, be yourself. If some chart you made got you into a relationship somehow, it surely won't keep you in it. If you're ready to be with someone, they will want to be with you because of who you are.

Trust me, not acting on your feelings and dwelling on them for ages sucks. From my experience, this is what gets you into the "friend zone". If you draw things out with a girl you've just met, she will lose interest and you'll end up in the 'zone.

Therefore, act before it is too late. How the hell is it that you only realize girls are hot after you get to know them? Sounds like you need to get your shit together and man up.
