<< /me initiates a vote to ban chickenhead

*raises hand*
>>



aye, and is it just me, or have a lot of the more recent members (dec and jan) been absolute idiots? there are some good ones, but a lot of them just plain suck.
 
The flower idea sounds good...if I could actually get a girl, I'd try that sometime 😛
 
Ok, so far we have a couple of women saying take flowers.

One or two GUYS saying you'll come off bad. (And anyway WHO in their right mind would take love life advice from ANYONE named chickenhead!??) 😉

HUmmmm now who would "I" take advice from......??

PLus if you DO take flowers and she's NOT there, you'll have your anwser!
 
Sounds like Chickenhead speaks from experience. I remember a discussion we had regarding "Using protection" and he said he always let the women take care of it. It's called a restraining order

This is the one time you've genuinely made me laugh with a comment. 🙂

I have to maintain my stance on the flowers issue - please, please don't do this. Knowing her for just one date with no prior history between you two, and all of a sudden this? It sounds good in THEORY, but it's not applicable to reality! Ask some of your friends, too - this isn't exactly the first place I would come to for relationship advice. No offense, AT'ers. 🙂
 
yes, i agree with every 0sully said in that last post. everything.

chickenhead is being overly pessimistic, but i don't think flowers are all that great of an idea either. play it cool 😎
 


<< This is the one time you've genuinely made me laugh with a comment. >>

Yeah I usually don't translate well into PNG🙂
 


<< This thread chickenhead explains exactly what he is. About half way down. >>

Hehe I wonder why his picked such a handle? Hahaha!!
 


<< << And you wonder why you have trouble wooing the women. 😉 >>

I am not interested in wooing a cocktease like you who will not put out. >>

*wipes sweat off brow* Whew. I'm safe. >>

ROTFLMAO! Good one, HotChic. 😀
 
Well this is what's going to happen. Since the females think that it's a sweet thing to get her a flower, I'm going to do that. Scathing A-holes like chickenhead will be ignored, because for all I know they're bitter 16 year old geeks who've never been laid. I have 2 ex g/f's who still love me to death and about a dozen great female friends who think I'm all that and a bag of chips yet wonder why I'm still single (I have several reasons for not dating them, that's a different story).

If I bring her a flower and it's warmly received, I'll tell her I will call her Saturday. If she's taken aback, I'll take the hint and let her be on her way. I'll just spend the next three weeks getting over her. 🙂

I think the flower idea is wonderful !!!! Hope your mission is a huge success 😀

<< And if she didn't want to see him, why would she have agreed to the second date? >>



Therein lies the mystery of the female kind.

Why agree to a second date and then get busy all a sudden? Yes, I am being a cynic here but I'm also being a realist, which is really what a cynic is. 🙂

I've worked in settings where I'd think I'd have a night off and make plans,only to be called in to work. If she was just blowing the guy off she wouldn't have told him she had to work and she wouldn't have indicated that she'll have freetime next weekend.

Trust me,this woman is probably just as disappointed that she got stuck working as her date is... if it were me I'd love it if the guy stopped by with a coffee or a flower
 
You've only had one date, shes blowing you off with a possible lame excuse, and you thinking about going to her job with flowers?!? :Q
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
 
Like I said, if she really doesn't want to see me anymore she can tell me when I stop by. I'd rather be flat out rejected than be pushed aside with lame excuses.

well what happened? weren't you supposed to give the flwrs yesterday?
 
haha I hope it goes well, thats always been my stradegy with the fair sex, I am so sweet I sicken myself 🙂 negative to this is girls tend to really drag out whether or not they really like me. dunno if thats a rule, but my experience.
 
Change of plans..for now, at least.. I got sent home sick from work, no way I'm driving all the way to her work tonight (probably gonna be raining too).
I thought about it some more, and as infatuated as I am with her, I'm terrified of her at the same time. I'll wait things out and see how they develop (i.e. will I get a second date..) because if I really like her but don't feel like I can be myself around her that's not a good combination. 🙂

LOL girls never flat our reject nice guys. They feed nice guys lame excuses because the nice guy won't call them on those excuses 9 times out of 10.
