what is wrong with you? are you trying to convince her your gay?

i love how everyone is quick to make fun of someone or put in their stupid comments, but no one ever offers any advice. its always the same people too, like if you see a YAGT, Icebergslim is guarranteed to be there making fun of the OP.

Pretty obvious she likes you. Words of wisdom have already preceded this post (AbAbber2k, rockyct) so I won't add any further.

nobody listens to suggestions anyways. The OP is worried about gauging interest meanwhile he has a girl in his appartment and is showing no interest towards her at all? wtf???? Am I really the only one seeing this paradox?

not to mention 99.8% of all YAGT's boil down to the same issue.

The answer to this and all 99% of all other YAGT lies right here on the AT-wiki "Should I post a YAGT?"

what are you looking for a magical ninja move the sinkara-toshi-ginza 3000. Never fails will have you laid in minutes! My move would have been to show interest in her physically from the beginning.....aka touching her when appropriate. Then it would naturally escalate to some sort of embrace/kiss. It is awfully awkward don't you think .....for a guy to show now physical interest in a girl then all of a sudden dive in for a kiss? But then again...you can't teach someone to be interested in a girl....especially over the internet.

you don't get it. there is no magic potion. You are gradually escalating the relationship to a physical level or your not. The OP in all likelyhood is probably terrified of even touching this girls arm let alone kissing her. So this girl probably feels rejected everytime she hangs out and he doesn't act at all interested in her. Talking is ok for a while but the difference between a gay friend and a lover is physical escalation.

i'm not asking for a magic potion. i'm asking what you would have done in that situation or what the op should have done. you keep saying put the moves on her.

define "moves".
do you mean kiss, hug, hold hands, pinch her ass, whip it out, or what? come on man, you're the expert here.

alright in this situation....showing her the snake and stuff was an excellent excuse to bring her back to his place he gets mad props for that. In addition to that a couple of things 1) offer her something to drink preferably an adult beverage....calms everyones nerves 2) sit down on the couch put on the tv/movie *nothing scary,gross* 3) if she is sitting far away tell her you dont bite and demand she come sit closer to you. When she moves in closer put your arm around her and pull her closer 4) You should be talking not really watching the movie. 5) start doing things like touching her hair comment on how soft it is or how nice it smells 6) if you made it this far going in for a kiss should be a lay up. If you get resistance anywhere up to this point....she isn't into or she's a frigid bitch.

not rocket science is it?

one thing I learned from my pervious dating experience, if the girl is not interested in you a bit, she won't waste her valuable time hanging out with you. Wish I figured this out when I was younger. so yes, she is interested, but its up to you to keep her interested, and make your move fast, as they do change their mind A LOT,or a new guy comes into the picture.

are you serious man? The game is on as soon as you meet a girl. you are either moving towards a physical relationship or your moving towards the friends zone. You can rapidly accelerate this movement at anytime by doing/not doing certain things. But once your reached friend zone land.....game over.

define relationship

actually caring about her and actually maybe *gasp* being a friend, and not just treating her as piece of meat to just get you off.

If I can't vibe with a girl as a friend its almost certain that there won't be a physical relationship.

i'm not saying you can't get physical in a relationship, but it sounds like when everyone is talking in a YAGT that the only thing they are after is getting laid or the only advice they have to offer is on getting laid. nothing wrong with that, but it seems like some people want more than just sex.

Most girls I know ( not counting the strippers) aren't going to jump into a Long term relationship with a guy they are not sleeping with or physically attracted to. Why would they unless they have some big hang ups about sex or they are hyper religious.
