Sure you can. Really, there's not going to be some random miracle where by doing nothing you get girls. If you don't approach you won't get anywhere, it's common sense.

The rest of your post are a bunch of self-pity excuses that won't get you laid so forget them. Do you think girls like cowards? So stop being one and attack! attack! attack!

And yes, that's not what you wanted to hear but I'm not going to be nice and tell you how you will meet someone special.

Get a job, you hippie! :lol:

Even if you make a total fool of yourself and she's not interested, you should still be happy. Just trying to talk to her is a victory in itself. The more you do this, the less nervous you will be...

If she's not interested, either you give up and move on, or you try again and show you mean business. If she's still not interested, then give up. It means it wasn't meant to be...

... Yeah.
No wonder I hate that game passionately though I've never even tried it.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Why do so many people have irrational hate for Banjo-Kazooie? It's one of the N64's best games by a long shot!

Same here. It was snowing when I woke up, but now it's sort of regressed into just drippy rain.

All good advice. Really, the more times you have asked a girl out or just chat with them about stuff, the better you'll get. It's all about practice and being confident. Sure, you'll strike out sometimes or a bunch of times but move on. Think of how you played video games for the first time and were bad at it. Then over time, you got better at it.

Idk, seems like Rare's games in general have had a lot of backlash on the internet in the last several years. I've seen plenty of hate for the Donkey Kong Country games as well.

But yeah, I don't really get it. Unless you just hate 3D platformers in general, I can't really see what's to dislike about Banjo Kazooie.

Has any DBZ game ever been anything great?
