Obligatory emo post

I've decided that this blog is not emo enough. I've looked through some of my old posts and noticed I haven't complained in any of them. This is different from about every other teen blog that I know of. I think it's time to get some of my teen angst out; ready...Go!
I've come to the conclusion that I will probably never have a serious girlfriend. I think I've finally found the reason why I've never had one in the past too. Don't get me wrong there are many reasons; my lack of maturity, pale skin, awkwardness, lame car, shyness, disorganization, messiness, and general lack of social skills are good reasons but I think I found the biggie.
The biggest reason I will never get a girlfriend is because I can never tell when a girl is flirting with me, and when they are I have no idea how to respond. I've had this problem my entire life but I didn't notice it until my freshman year of college. One time during a class a girl turned around and said something that was a little rude then said "Just kidding". I was confused. I did not understand how someone could go from being rude to just kidding in a matter of seconds. I thought about it later on and I think she was flirting with me. I was kicking myself because I didn't know, and because she was hot!!!
The biggest reason I'm so bad at flirting is because in high school girls never flirted with me. I was terribly shy in high school and not that popular. So whenever talked to a girl it was usually because I started talking to her.
Now that I was in college where nobody knew me and I was no longer as shy as I used to be, I now had girls I didn't know coming up to talk to me. I had no idea how to handle it and I still don't.
I'm not the only person who thinks this is a problem, my friends are starting to notice it too. One time Me and my friend were picking up free pizzas at pizza hut for a Cowley Press work-night. The girl at the counter was apparently flirting with me (I wouldn't know) and when she left my friend said "What are you doing? She was totally flirting with you and you acted like a jerk!" Of course I had no idea what I just did. If I did act like a jerk to her I totally didn't mean it and I just hoped she would come back and say the exact same thing so I could make a witty comeback. Unfortunately I made no such witty comeback and left discouraged. She was not bad looking either. The point is my friends can tell when girls are flirting with me even though I am completely oblivious.
This post so far is fine and dandy, but it's not emo enough yet. So far I've only described my own faults. For this to be emo I have to blame someone else for my miseries. When it comes down to it there is only one person I can blame for not getting a girlfriend...Ryan Gosling.
My entire life I've tried to be the nice guy. I've always thought that girls wanted a polite gentleman so I would always be quiet and not talk much so that I would not seem obnoxious or rude. This strategy obviously has not worked. Girls tend to go for bad boys who can never shut up, even when they say stupid things. They also want guys who are fearless and are not afraid to stand up to other people. This is where Ryan Gosling comes in.
When I talk about Ryan Gosling I really mean his character he play in the Notebook, and yes I have seen that movie. His character first makes a girl fall in love with him by lying in the middle of a road for her, has the patience to write 365 letters to her, and is fearless enough to fight in WWII. I don't have any of those qualities.
As I have already mentioned, for years my strategy with girls has been to talk to them enough to make them like you but not too much so you don't seem like a jerk. This is the antithesis of Ryan Gosling's character in the movie. Now whenever girls see the movie they fall in love with a character that I am nothing like. They then go after the guys who talk all the time even though they usually are jerks. You can see my problem.
Of course it's unfair to blame all of my problems on one person but that is why this post is emo.
