unless you're a schizophrenic, in which case you better be looking for a good shrink, not a woman; you should be exact same person in real life and the internet.
Originally posted by Nordlyswhether you're talking or writing, the thoughts conveyed should be at the very least similar. if i was to write to you a sympathetic letter (since we're on this subject), i'd be expressing the same thoughts, ideas and images, as if i'd be talking to you. besides, when talking to a person face to face, you have so much more ways of communication - body language, spur of a moment, quick responses, words, utterances and etc. something you don't get in written conversations, but all of which aid greatly. and this is one of the reasons i suggested that he 'practices' his language, communication skills on the net and then take it to the streets.

and then again, unless he goes out there and tries, even if he fails miserably for the first how many times, it is an experience none of us can give him here, in this thread - he needs to earn his own. knowing the theory backwards without applying it on practice means nothing. you try, fall and pick yourself up to try and fall yet again and pick yourself up - we've all been there, living our lives and trying to make the best of it. complaining on the internet forums about being hopeless and incapable of even starting a conversation with a lady will not get him anywhere. and besides, if talking to a girl that he likes is a problem now, what would be next?!

Originally posted by ChaosChildAll the additional ways of communication in face to face conversation are great if you are able to use them. That was my whole point. If you can't do all that stuff, it won't help you to practise language and communication skills on the net. You don't learn how to use non-verbal language by typing on the internet.

Sorry to pee on your bonfires, boys.
Writing and typing both fall under the category of Verbal Communication. The term "verbal" in the context of communication types is defined as meaning "of or concerned with words". Non-verbal communication defines gestures, body language and the like.
Noodles is still right.

Originally posted by Nordlyswhen you are unable to use these additional skills, you can still communicate. and hence, even if he knows absolutely nothing about non-verbal communication, he can nonetheless converse with a girl by using the conventional process of forming words in the brain and then conveying them by any means possible to this girl. and that was my whole point about practice on the net - learn to talk! and practice these skills in real world, where he can start learning the rest of the tricks on how do get women dropping to his feet in awe ...

So if I say "I know how to body language ..." I am right.
I am afraid not.
