Ok, some of you guys missed out on the common sense train so my duty as a female is to help and inform you!

1. When you've asked a girl out 2 times in a row and she has rejected you by saying something silly like "I'm busy", it's time to MOVE ON. Obviously if the girl digs you the conversation would go something like this:

guy: Hey, wanna go out on friday night?
girl: Sorry, I'm busy, how about Saturday??

instead of like this:

guy: Hey, wanna go out on friday night?
girl: Sorry I can't, Friday nights I reserve for quality time with my roommates!
guy: How about Saturday?
girl: Sorry, I'm reformatting my harddrive!
guy: Ok, how about next weekend?
girl: <insert really lame hobby or activity she could do on any other night>

At this point, it's time to get a clue! Stop embarassing yourself and putting the girl in an awkward situation, she will just grow to find you very annoying and dense. Major turnoffs.

2. When talking on AIM/phone, if the conversation is one sided that means she doesn't want to talk to you!! Here, let me give you an example:

boy: Hi, how are you doing?
girl: ok.
boy: So what are you up to?
girl: nothing.
boy: What are you doing right now?
girl: hmmm, nothing.
boy: ok, so what do you want to talk about?
girl: i dunno.

If this persists, do not continue iming her everyday. If you don't believe me, try not iming her for a whole month. If within that whole month she does not IM you, or at least ask you "hey, why haven't you been iming me anymore" then SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU, not even as a friend.

3. If you are going to wear cologne, please DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH! The more cologne you are wearing does not mean the better you smell! If you don't know how to wear cologne it is best not to wear it. At least ask a female friend or even your mom to tell you!!! Too much cologne is such a turnoff.

4. If you just meet a cool girl from the internet, don't ask to meet her within 30 seconds of talking to her. IT'S CREEPY. And if the girl is willing to meet you, obviously she is either a guy who is going to rape you or she is very desperate. In that case, maybe you guys are a good match!

Basically, when it comes down to it. If you get the feeling a girl doesnt like you GUESS WHAT! SHE PROBABLY DOESN'T. If in the rare case she is playing the "hard to get" game, you don't want a girl who plays mind games anyways!
I know! Some of these things seem like common sense to me and you, but it is scary and appalling that some guys just don't know. I hope by reading this, it will help at least ONE person, then it was worth taking the time out to write this. Feel free to add to the list, or if you would like for me to evaluate a situation you are having with a girl I will be willing to take pms or publicly post an answer, since some other guy is probably wondering the same thing! (and since I have a midterm to study for, I suddenly am finding every reason to procrastinate hehehe).

It's not that easy for us to do that. Besides, why do we have to resort to that when the rules of dating are so obvious?! If a guy can just get a clue, it would make it easier on all of us.

Think of it like if somebody gets a bad haircut and they ask you if it looks good but in reality, it looks really bad. So instead of saying it sucks, you say something like well I liked the old haircut better.

Now multiply that times ten and you can see how it makes us feel to have to flat out reject a guy! Like the haircut comment though, if you *understand* you can read between the lines and know that the person just said that your haircut sucks but in a roundabout way. It's hard to swallow but easier than the person just flat out telling you "your new haircut sucks!!". Get it?

What's so hard about saying "I'm just not interested"? Simple, tactful, and to the point. Dodging the subject and dancing around and giving excuses is just lying to both of you.

ok ok. i guess you are expecting me to say you are right. so you are right :p but that's not really the point of my thread. sure there are ways the world should be ran and everything would be easier but it's not like that, and i'm giving a heads up to guys that dont' know how it works.

Actually, I agree. I dont understand why girls are sometimes so shy about saying stuff. In the past, I have been asked out by a few girls-- It just so happens that except for one, I really was not attracted to them. So, I basically said, "im not interested" and it seemed to work out pretty well. (Except for that one girl who wants to kill me now ;) )

The problem is that some girls don't want to hurt the guy's feelings and some guys don't get what "I'm not interested" really means. :)

Girls don't have balls, literally, that's why they can't give a direct answer.

Welcome to another episode of "Ask weezergirl".

You've got some good advice there, young lady.

So, by the same token, why isn't there a "Girls should read this at least once" thread about how the fairer sex should be more straight forward with guys?

I'm not saying your giving bad advice here, I'm just saying that guys aren't the only ones who need a clue.

Also, what if a girl IMs you first, but has nothing to talk about. I've had this happen several times, even with girls that I don't know who IM me out of the blue. Very strange.
