Ladies: can I be nice and still get a girlfriend?

Do girls like nice guys: Yes, quite often they do. It seems that your problem is that your not making any moves. If you sit around and hope a girl comes to you, nothing is going to change. Sadly girls tend to drop hints and wait for the guy to make the first move (Yeah, it sucks). If a girl is eyeing a nice guy and he does nothing, she probably will go for the jerk who actually has the guts to ask her out. So pretty much just ask them to hang out and go from there, and don't be too quiet or else it could end up awkward. Also, that perv reputation could be used to your advantage with the right type of girls ;)
