I dunno man, I've seen the end-parade sweepers and that isn't flowers they're shoveling as they follow the horses. You sure your glasses don't need adjustment?

Don't you remember that show? Remember the flower girls throwing flowers for the princess in the carriage or something, and then the little sweeper guy at the end sweeping it up? I can't find it on google.

I get it, this is your way of telling us your social class prevents you from doing anything but being the nigra in any public gathering. But what do you do for money?

What the fuck do you want, latecomer? I didn't fix it because it played well into the intentions I had for the thread.

IMO confidence is the key though. A lot of guys generally lack in this particular area, but make up for it by trying to be overly nice and end up in the dreaded "friend zone." Also, he shouldn't mistake confidence for cockiness. Once you bring confidence into the equasion, and have something to bring to the table (you can hold a conversation, and keep a woman generally interested. intrigued) the rest will pretty much fall into place...or so it seems. *shrug* What the fuck do I know?

not exactly...I just feel like the bitch at the end of the parade who has to clean up everyone else's mess sometimes.No, I'm a freelance English teacher; I'm hired by different language schools to go around and give English lessons to Italians in corporations, small businesses, even military bases. It's kinda like consulting; a total bullshit job that pays out the nose.
The problem is that it's not steady; some years are really good and some are really crappy, like this year. You have to make enough money during the year to cover your ass during the summer when everyone's gone on vacation or whatever. I'm about to change jobs for something more steady. I'm paid about 20 euros per hour in some places but I may only work 20 hours a week. You have to really whore yourself out to different places and work multiple schools...like a whore with two pimps. I'm about to say fuck it and go make turbine blades in a factory here or something like that. I'll at least get 30 days paid vacation, full benefits and a fixed contract.
I'm gonna give my biggest employer a chance around March to give me a raise, as I'm only paid about 15 euros per hour; I just have lots of courses with them so they're my priority. I'm a mother tongue speaker of English who also speaks Italian with several years experience; if she says no, then I walk and she loses tons of business, as she will only hire mother tongue teachers. Not too many of them in Italy; at least who have a good command of the language AND who are bilingual.

My condolences to everyone involved, then, pupils and all. I must stop for now, staying afloat in the sea of text is tiring.

This brings up a great point, John. Confidence =/= cockiness. You can be a nice guy and still exude confidence...just don't overdo it. Don't start buying her flowers and shit, but girls appreciate a friendly, down-to-earth guy.
But stay out of the friend zone.

Actually my students want only to be taught by me, and if I leave this company, they'll probably cancel their contract with the school and try to get me directly, which would be ideal.
You asked the fucking question, and I tried to make a joke about it and leave it at that, but you pressed me for an answer. When I give you the answer, you then state you feel sorry for my pupils and insult me with a tl;dr remark. If you don't want the answer, don't ask the fucking question.

Thank you, and understood. I know confidence is the biggest thing when it comes to women, that's why I make them laugh, rock the muscle shirts and occasionally get compliments on my arms. Generally make them smile a lot. Never cocky, in person I'm the most humble man you could ever meet. Unless it's time to get crunk.
I mean, they know I have General Anxiety Disorder because they ask why I shake. I think the problem is I'm too nice to them.
