Answer 2

He definitely likes you. I think he has started thinking about dating you, remembered what happened last time, and choked. that's why he seemed less interested today. He thinks you're great, but he probably thought the other girl was great at first, too. Your guy is suffering from 'once bitten, twice shy' and it may take a bit of time for him to get over it. I think you should ask him out. If he stutters on the idea (Which I think he might) look him right in the eye and say "I know you've been hurt, but I would NEVER do that to you!" He may not go with the idea immediately even then, but you'll have made your own position crystal clear and I'm pretty sure he'll come around in the end.

Answer 3

I think the point is that, if you're a goth, it isn's an act. Same applies to just about anything. If it is really who you are, you don't have to act, you just be yourself.

(God, I sound old when I say that! Sorry...)

Hmmm, gothy ways to be... This is what I recall of my sister's goth days:

Read a lot of dark and emotional poetry. Know who ALL the best vampire-novel and/or haunted-house-novel authors are, and be able to discuss their various merits at the drop of a sable-plumed hat. Wear black, and cultivate a fondness for vintage -- or better yet, antique -- styles. Very old jewlery is good, especially Victorian mourning jewlery made of jet.

I'm pretty sure there are web sites that have all sorts of advice on how to be gothic. One even has info on how to decorate your home in true goth fashion...

Answer 4

Try going to a Goth club and finding a mentor.

Answer 5

How is wanting to be a goth shallow?

Use other words, much?

At least be something people like, a snob.

It's young.

Answer 6

try being yourself instead. Its much more genuine and unique

Answer 7
