Well, i know that now. Sheesh. I'm new to the dating scene so yeah.. Hell, i'm 22 years old and this is my 2nd date with any girl...

The way i look at it, i got some extra cash to spend on girls cause i never had a GF.

We shall see what happens... Hopefully, she is just a super shy girl...

I didn't have a girlfriend and I didn't have cash to spend! Tell me your secret! Now she wants to get married and I still don't have cash to spend!
 
yep, my new rule is to start really cheap. =) I hate spending $30-$50/date! ie. dinner/movie. start doing other things like dinner/movie at home. holding hands and stuff like that should be natural and should feel natural.

good luck!
 
wow dude.....you need to think of better date ideas cuz $317 dollars and not even laid yet.......wow......i'm speechless


your doing it all wrong.......dont play the nice guy she'll walk all over you and you';ll be stuck with your right hand in the end.....

stop trying to qualify yourself to her and start making her qualify herself to you

try playing hard to get....

lets just be friends her and see if her attraction level rises if not u should next this girl immediately......
 
The way I held hand was one day we were in Metreon and we sat down to check out the flat panel tvs. This was our first date and we had some time to kill. We were sitting down and it was time to go. I got up and stuck out my hand to help her up. What I didn't realize was what I was getting myself into. She held onto my hand and would not let go. I beat her and threw everything at her and she still would not let go. I basically just gave up and let her hold my hand.
 
It was 3rd grade, she grabbed my hand and made me walk around all recess with her. Hope this helps your dating process.

LMAO!!! He'll probably have her sign a contract agreeing to the kiss before he tries to kiss her!
 
This post is so funny. You made mistake asking. Do not ask before you make a move, ever. I made the same mistake. This Japanese girl liked me and I liked her too. This was back when I was in grad school. So after shoping, she invited me to her place and she even made mixed alcohol drinks. We were so quiet and I could have made a move but instead I chickened out and asked "can I kiss you?". She said 'no' and I didn't know what to do so I left. I eventually made a move 2 weeks later. But moral of story: asking is bad.
 
im kind of hesitant of posting a picture up... but i'll do it after i get back from racquetball... i'll do it in like 3 hours. 7p.m. pacific time.
 
Oh man, funniest thread ever. EVER. I swear I never read anything funnier on this site than the "Stick out your butt comment" . I don't go on many dates and I'm 20, but I at least have the commom sense to not ask a girl to hold hands.

Anyways, keep trying, just stop being so flashy with her. Just be your self, do what you want to do without being overpowering. In due time, you will hit it my friend. 3 weeks from now I'm expecting a "How do you have sex with a girl thread", which i bet will be a million times funnier than this one.
 
Didn't read the entire thread, but let me pick out the parts I find intereting....

Ok, so i've been dating this girl for two weeks now and whenever i go out, i get this impression i should make a move. You know, kind of like a spidey-sense for men.

-----Dude, if you say "Spidey-sense" around a girl, they are gone. Grow up man, its only a movie.

Anwyays, our last date (3rd one), we went to THE BLOCk to go shoot some pool at LUCKY STRIKE and while we were walking back to our car, i got this impression i should try to hold her or her hand.

Well, afterwards, to be honest, i wanted to go home cause i was tired, but she wanted to go for milkshakes, so we did that, at 2a.m.

----This is a good sign, she didnt want to go home!

I'm not sure if she really was cold or not, but after drinking milkshakes, she said, "i'm cold.." and i'm like.. :sun:🙂

Well, i was too big of a wuss to do anything at Denny's, so while driving home, i was super quiet because I was telling myself what to say to her so we could hold hands...

----Dude, grow a pair. I mean I can understand your feelings, but 1) Don't post about it on the internet. 2) Holding hands isn't making a move. & 3) Just reach over there and do it.

She is usually the quiet one, but since i was soo quiet on our way home, she actually tried to initiate a conversation.

I told myself if i didn't make a move this time, then i may be put into the FRIENDS category forever and shoot, holding hands should be the easiest thing.. but for me it was hard.

This is what i said to her while we were in the car.

"Janet... (short pause cause my mind blanked).. Umm, i'm gonna try something now, but if you don't like it, let me know." ~ ME

"Uh ok..." ~ Her

"Stick out your left hand." ~ ME

-----BUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA Sorry.. Poor Janet. Don't ask permission, makes you a pansey. If the time is right, just do it. What could have been a good thing has turned into a big deal now. I bet this is one thing she mentions to her friends about how unconfortable that was.

So she does it and i take it... Initially, i'm not sure if she got freaked out and tried to pull away, but she kept it there... But i think i did feel resisitance or could it be because our hands were in an uncomfortable levitating position?

Argh.. Anwyays, after i did that, she got super quiet. She is a really shy girl, but even after that, she got more quiet and looked outside the window only.. never twoards me.

I don't regret making this move because I'd rather know than blow more $$$ on her. For 3 dates, she cost me $310 :Q

Shoot, with $310, i could get myself more Pc3200 ram + creative muvo 4gb, which i really need...
Yeah, but she has something that you really need too

And since i'm afraid of what's gonna happen next, i decided i'm not gonna call her anymore unless she calls me. Well, i'll give it a week b4 i call her.

*sigh* Love, it's a pain.

Uhh..... "I'm going to try something now, but if you don't like it let me know"... ??? You're kidding right?

This is a something you should say if, for example, you're going down on a girl and you're about to slide a finger up her ass. Not if you want to hold her hand. I'm sorry man, I really feel for you in one sense, but that's honestly too funny.

You've fvcked this chance up beyond repair. Go find a new girl and never see this one again.
 
This is the funniest thread I have ever read on Anandtech. First off quit spending so much cash on the first few dates. Dinner at Fridays and a movie should cover you. The movie is especially good because you don't have to talk and after reading this thread your not very quick witted around the hoes so thats a plus. And if you remember nothing I have said remember this, CONFIDENCE IS KING. I think Chris Rock put it best when he said "If you don't come correct your going to have dry balls" lol

:clock:
 
very funny stuff....and I'll toss in my 2 cents.

"Spiderman" isn't real - men do not have a spider-sense - that is just your balls talking to you.

You obviously haven't been on very many dates - "I wanted to go home, but she wanted a milkshake" - Insert your own joke here.

And yes, the best part of the original post is "Shoot, with $310, i could get myself more Pc3200 ram + creative muvo 4gb, which i really need... " - trust me when I tell you that you need something this girl has much more than more PC3200 ram.

Kudos on the "stick out your butt" comment - I had tears in my eyes!
 
2nd date: $70 on dinner at downtown disney JAZZ KITCHEN (what a total rip off)
Actually that place is pretty good, but you should go there when they have a live band playing. Expensive though.
Try going to the Napa rose inside the disney grand california hotel, it's one of the top restraunts around, (expensive, great food / atmosphere) around $60 per person. and I'm not saying you should go here, I just like great food 🙂 Vinyard room in california adv is really good too, and Club 33 in disneyland is very nice if you can manage reservations.
