This time it happened to me, not so suprisingly I was on the other side this time. Yes, I was the advisor.
My friend was quite unsatisfied by his "girlless" life, so everytime he came over to our place, me and my roommate showered him with tips and homeworks to do. All these tips were meant to increase his confidence with girls. With my recent addiction to the books on dating, I was quite confident about my knowledge in the field of opening up to girls. Like always, yesterday, I was giving him his routine dose with unprecented confidence. This time he opened up, "You know, I have also read about this dating stuff a lot. But I don't think it is possible in India."
I had a time tested answer to my rescue, "You are being a pessimist. You are giving up even before trying. Have you ever tried ? How can you say that ? "
"Why don't you show me how to do that?"
"I ... I ..I am not able to find a place, where I can try these things."
"What about shopping mall ? Hyderabad centeral ?"
"That really seems to be a good place. Lets meet there at 6 PM tommorrow."
I was totally only on his mercy or my "not so perfect" skills to appraoch girls. Depending upon later one was like dreaming to cross pacific on an ice cream stick.
Next day, I kept myself busy at 6 and there was no contact from his side either. Happy with my luck, I called him at 6:45 to show him that I was really ready to be the teacher. Somehow he convinced me to meet 1 hr later at the mall. I was praying that he never shows up. You know, I am not as lucky as I think.
What happened next really do not needs to be explained. It was my first time and there was a lot of my own made pressure on me to perform. In one line, I tanked badly and my student was really good at not making fun of me, giving me tips and agreeing with me that it was difficult.
I'm telling you, I know a lot about this. If you will give tips on a topic that you don't know much about, you won't be able to get over with it.
