Relationships help: Do popular, sociable guys ever fall for the not-so-popular girl? - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Do popular, sociable guys ever fall for the not-so-popular girl?

Is that even possible? These guys are like usually pretty goodlooking, relatively high profile - in the sense that they have a lot of friends, are very active in college activities and are usually in ,”popular” school clubs - sociable, very friendly. Not flirty or players at all, but are usually surrounded by females (duh), and they always happen to be single =/

Anyway, is it possible for them to be interested in girls who are not so popular, sociable enough but have a really close group of friends, is known to be nice enough and pretty (not drop dead gorgeous though) and have characteristics like sweet, sensitive, intellectual, funny.

Is that even possible? I’ve seen situations like that.. but i don;t usually believe my eyes.. wouldnt these guys just prefer the more “out-there” and popular girls?

hmm. cause I realise i tend to attract these kinds actually.. though i kinda avoid them. i live in asia, so this popularity thing isnt that big a deal, and popular ppl are usually ignored.. but i always wondered why it happened. hmm.

intellectual girls clingy? hahaha i think ur generalising too much. what if she’s intellectual and independent? alot of girls i know are like that, but they happen to be single. independent as in she actually gives off a vibe that she’s cool and can do alot of things on her own. mature girl as well

ahaha nothing wrong being tiny babe! some tiny girls are quite cute :)
im not clingy at all, im more independent and like my freedom to my things and my space to be myself etc.
most guys who’ve liked me have just shown interest and have never made the BIG move. i always wondered why..
some pplsay i give off the “unavailable, aloof, unapproachable” vibe, but seriously if guys get scared off by such things, then thats just so wimpy. i just got a serious look on my face mostly. and my gfs have said i dont seem needy enough for a guy..

:) thats my problem, guys are like ‘awwh shes really cute’ but as in 5 yr old cute, not hot-cute ;P dont worry, il get over them til i find a nice, small guy :)
yeah, i think its just an excuse when guys say that, i mean, unless you’re playing hard to get on purpose, its pretty hard to give off that vibe. Whenever i like a guy, i always end up doing something really stupid in front of them, but thats kinda stupid, not needy haha :)

hahaha. i dont see a problem, hon. ive known guys who go crazy over small kids like how u’ve described urself (maybe i should ship them over to where u live ;)) and btw, they are usually the tall guys, not tiny at all. haha. but being hot is not everything seriously, you’ve just yet to meet that nice, proper guy who digs girls of ur size. but u sound like ur ok with it, are you? so meanwhile, enjoy life! :D

yup its totally an EXCUSE. exactly! its so hard to give off that vibe anyway! only girls who are snobs and full of themselves do it on purpose. hahahah! i do stupid things all the time to embarrass myself too. oh wells. :P hmm, abt playing hard to get on purpose.. i dont exactly do that.. but. when i realise someone’s showing interest in me, especially when i see him looking at me, i get really tensed and shy and i look away quickly or ignore him mostly. if he’s alone and it’s “convenient” i might go talk to him.. but do guys usually see that as disinterested? o.O the looking away thing

I’m a guy. If a guy gets his heart broken then he will follow his genitals. BUT anything is possible. Just don’t do the woman thing and try to control a guy. Ignore his genital drive and look for his deep morals.

haha, yeah im fine with it, im just gonna sit back and wait for a lovely guy to sweep me offa ma feet ! :D

jeez, i know a lot of those ’snobs’ and yeah they do do it a lot :/ suits them i guess..
yeah, i know what you mean, i think guys like that though, but they also like it when they think that contact between you is there idea. Men are like giant egos :)

i dont think they’d see it as disinterested, i think they probably enjoy it. They hate it when girls are mean or critical of them, as i said, they have very fragile egos :)

YAR. they are so irritating and whiny that way. guess what? most of them are the ones getting attached where i am =/ seriously.

yeah most like a challenge, i dont purposely put on a challenge, but the shyness is somethng they and i have to overcome i guess. someone’s gotta be brave enough to break it down for me. ; ) im usually shy and like yeah. just shy, which is so not me. i feel so disgusted i wanna slap myself sometimes. like i would talk to a guy and blush or like, talk softly for no **** reason. or like be really subdued. or sound nervous. curse those 10 yrs i spend ina all-girls sch haha. i dont think guys like these types anyway haha

I’m just going to assume you’re asking me from my cynical female observer perspective.
The ones who actually do end up confessing are well…uncommitable gits.
And the rather timid girls end up pining for the rest of their school year.
Being the unfeasibly idiotic friend to type2 girls I end up actually fixing everything for them.
Everything.
And it works.
Quite nicely for a long time.

Iss good.
:D

Ah shucks.
But honestly what’ve you got to loose?
Time? There’s plenty of that and if you really like this kid then you should really give it a shot.
Please please.
My timid HOT girlfriends with them social butterflies.
Even with the guy I’ve been personally…well..pining for for sometime.
It’s the friends first ideology…at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
I honestly don’t think I could have managed to get by my last year with him being the main topic of our conversations.

Hmmm..you want to creep into hiss sociall circleee.
Well I suggest you find a friend who also fancies him and set them up together.
That way you’ll become his best friend and quite possibly his wingman for the rest of you life.
xD
Nah I’m kidding don’t do that.
Really how attractive you are doesn’t do much, I you want to approach someone the only thing you need to be is comfortable in your own skin and then just give it a shot.
In your case you really aren’t chummy with this guy therefore the repercussions really aren’t major or anything.
If it’s a small college and you have a couple of classes together, then try sitting close by and then con him into studying or solving an assignment with you.

Maaaaannn, how I long for small colleges.
My university is freaking huge!
And because I don’t have a cell I can’t keep in contact with anybody..I ended up giving up on making friends.
Blaah.

oh i get what u mean! although its relatively small i can hrdly bump into anyone! its amazing. u just dont know where everybody is.
