interested in her. “I recently lost my partner but I go hang out in good dance clubs, some swanky places, yet the guys never ask me to dance. Am I that ugly? What am I doing wrong?” GET YOUR GROOVE ON AND MAYBE YOU’LL FIND A GROOVY GUY. Being a wallflower, WallFlower, is not always so bad because it gives us a chance to see what’s going on around us. Unfortunately in SL what one sees is not always what one gets. You may be observing guys not talking or asking you to dance, but you cannot see whether they have half a dozen instant messages going on simultaneously, or whether they simply have SL idly in the background while they watch the football on television. VANITY MIRROR makers tend to do some things better than others. You don’t say whether you are male or female in RL, not that it matters much, but it might influence your choice of avatar appearance too. The purpose you want your avatar to look a certain way is also relevant. Do you want your avatar to be an escort or dancer? Do you want your avatar to become a vampire or some other role play character? An avatar can still be petite, sexy and adorable yet be pasty white and dressed in gothic garb with discrete fangs. Also consider that a lot of what appeals to the eye in SL is the way an avatar moves. So investing in the right animation overrider (AO) will be important to achieve the sexy and adorable look you want. WallFlower is struggling to get a guy It may be the case that you have to take the initiative and ask some fellows first and see what response you get. You will quickly see if they are away from their keyboard or show some interest. Also take a careful look at your profile. Does it display defensiveness, a tendency to depressiveness or display a lot of past hurts? These are not going to be flames to which the male moths get attracted. Revealing realistic things but not too much to strangers that have not yet earned the right to intimate facts about you is best. Highlight the things you like to do best and hopefully guys that read your profile that like that too, will contact you with interest. Also remember that SL is not going to be more successful in the search for love than real life, if that is what you are after. If it’s just dancing, don’t forget that there are lots of great and groovy dance animations you can do solo even in a dance club. WallFlower get your groove on and maybe you’ll find a groovy guy.
