stev0,

First of all, just ignore all the rude people here. I've heard all of it myself posting things like this.

I'd say a few things... first, forget about her as something more than a friend. It ain't gonna happen.

Next, when you're with a girl, don't spend a lot of time thinking about what you do. (Initially, that is... once you are where you want to be, you can change that.)

Think about it this way: which would be worse... (a) you get a girl very angry with you for touching her or kissing her and she never wants to speak to you again (highly unlikely) or (b) you never make a move and post your desparation on an internet forum?

She's not going to ask you out... you have to ask her out.

What else can I say... don't be afraid to practice on every girl you know. Become good at flirting casually and then lay it on when you find someone you really like.

Don't second guess yourself... eg. last week I gave a comforting touch to this girl because and she recoiled... I thought that she was trying to tell me she didn't like it, but when I asked her about it it turns out she was still angry with me (we were in a bit of a fight earlier) and she was just demonstrating that fact.

This is my personal advice and I'm not 100% sure it works all the time, but try to sound like you know what the heck you're talking about -- that you have experience. And I don't mean physics formulae. I think this is part of the reason why it's easier to get younger girls than same age or older. Younger girls are more easily impressed if you have some experience with alcohol or clubbing or racing down the main street with your buddies... or anything that could be interpreted to that girl as being a bit wild.

Despite the fact that some girls might seem timid and helpless, they will love you if you show them some fun and excitement. For example imagine how much fun it was when my best friend and I raced each other home, each of us with a girl in the passenger seat. I beat him. :) It makes for a good story later, too. *Don't try this at home, I take no responsibility, lol*

Definitely complement girls as much as possible. If you feel uncomfortable in the 'aftermath' of a compliment, lighten it up a bit. "You smell so good!" ... silence might follow so try throwing in "how do you do that, anyway?!" Know the right time to do it though... I screwed up a few days ago at breakfast and complimented a girl when there were other guys and girls around. It has to be in a more controlled social environment (i.e. just the two of you)

Drunk man meets drunk woman.
Drunk man kisses drunk woman because he can't think too well.
Drunk woman kisses back.
Drunk man and drunk woman wake up for breakfast together the next morning.

People often use drugs as a common interest to center a relationship around. There are many ways to interpret it.

ahh pretty much was a figured

maybe i should smoke more often then? :confused::p

<----- after mild trial and error, has learned never again to jump into a relationship with a guy, from now on works on developing a friendship (this takes TIME) before there's even a chance of anything more-than-friends-esque happening

Peace,
Dezign
 

What now? A proposal, Bizmark? :eek: Well. . . . :eek:

"<----- after mild trial and error, has learned never again to jump into a relationship with a guy, from now on works on developing a friendship (this takes TIME) before there's even a chance of anything more-than-friends-esque happening"

I agree, Dezign. I do instantly have a crush on some guys, but for the most part I start with friendship and build it from there. The sad truth though is that those relationships don't always last more than or as much as the other ones formed the other way (i.e., fast). The good part about it is that you can always remain friends. That's what I want. A relationship where we'll always be friends, in spite of what may happen.

Ah yes...the good old ladder theory... An older cousin explained this to me when I was a freshman in high school...I'm glad to see someone finally put it all onto a webpage
Sounds like a bunch of bunk to me. Not everybody is out to bang anything that moves or place all those objects on a ranking ladder. Love is better than sex and this theory seems preoccupied with bedding people.

People are preoccupied with bedding people.

See, if it was really about love, then guys wouldn't have to do all of the work. :) Girls would, as the claim they to, recognize the value of love and not so willingly pass up opportunities.

In fact, yeah, I'm going to dig a huge hole for myself if I continue down this path... nevermind.

explain.

It means you should act like a man and not a woman. :)

While that advice is sound, I don't believe it's advice that anyone can ever follow. You've learned a certain way to act around women that you're attracted to. It doesn't work but you can't change it.

You can make small changes but that's it. So try doing that and see if it gets you anywhere (take my original advice... see top of page 2)

A better thing would be to try learning that the women that aren't attracted to you aren't really for you, anyway. That might be hard to believe, but I think it's accurate.
