these two words may be used in expressions. “Jeez” and “Geez” are the most common spellings but there is no exact spelling because these words are used informally and are not found in dictionaries.

“Jeez” comes from the name Jesus. When people get in trouble or in a mess, they tend to call His name. Now, a later version of that calling is used even for different purposes and not just cause they need something. Some say “Oh jeez!” because of something bad that happened. This is not a good use for it.

“Geez” is known to have come from the word geezer which means an old man. In the history, many old people were respected for they’re long experience of life, old-age, and wisdom. So if people come to trouble, they also mention the geezer whom they respect or something. Or they mention the geezer of whom they look for answers. Today, they use the expressions “Oh geez!” and “Oh Jeez” the same way they say “Oh Great” in a cynical way. To kill the disppointment from something. Expressions that originated differently and are now used in informal conversations.

Awww that’s like me with flirting… What you need to do is play it cool. For the first time you talk to her might just be for a minute or two. Notice just little things about her and keep them in mind. Ask her things like “Aren’t you in theatre” or “Why do you wear that thing you always wear” or even “Geeze miss so and so today was such a weirdo..” Little things like that. Ask her about her, but don’t make it into an investigation. Just simple relaxed conversations like you would with a friend, except this one has lady parts…. And accept it when you both have nothing to talk about or have an awkward silence. Just walk away from the conversation before it gets even more awkward. Edit; wow the guys above me are *******. Yeah, if you want to be a virgin for life, listen to the guys who responded before i did….
