you can play this two ways.......

1) wait for her to come to you again to hang out and then you must escalate physically to see if she reciprocates. Risk she may never contact you again thinking you don't like her.

2) You can goto her and ask her to hang out again and then you must escalate physically to see if she reciprocates. Risk she may reject your offer or just take you for a ride.

I dont think you have anything to lose by asking her to go for a drink one night. If she says yeah you know she's into you and you can feel comfortable escalating. If she says no....laugh and say ok talk to you later and cut off contact.

The problem with that is, she might think it's just a friendly invitation to go do whatever.

Bad move buddy. Ask her out on another date and make sure you touch her during the date then at the end of the night move on in.

no need to wait until the end of the night this isnt a hollywood movie. Kiss her when you feel it. Beginning, middle ....its doesnt matter when just as long as you are in tune to what she is feeling and it isnt coming out of the blue.

Who cares what she thinks?

You are the one in control here. Take her out on a date and touch, kiss, then whatever. Don't talk about anything or say "I really like you" or "stick out your hand" or other nonsense. Show her a good time and get some.

noway going for a drink 1 on 1 is obviously more than just friends in this case.

Nope, you're not getting anywhere. If this was supposed to be a date, she'd let you pay.

That's not at all true. Many women fight the whole "men pays" thing. I've been on dates with several girls that insisted on paying their own way.

To the OP. You'll know if she likes you by if she kisses you back. If you never attempt to kiss her, she will be only a friend.... because you made it that way. Being aggressive isn't optional.

You have much to learn about the ways of women.

My guess? You don't know how to get intimate with a woman and can't pick up on the very obvious signs. Touch means to ya know, actually touch the woman?

Shoulder, leg, neck. Any kind of touch. If she feels comfortable with this on the first date then you she is giving you the "it's OK to nail me" sign.

More power to you if it works. I'm just saying that it's funny how everyone hops in with a "touch her" response. Plus, this is a tech discussion board. It's really not the greatest place for relationship advice.

I'm curious... is your solution for getting girls to wait for them to make a move on you? How does that work out for you?

Please explain why an interest in computers is mutually exclusive with understanding relationships.

Weeping Jesus on the Cross - quit pontificating about it online and ask her to dinner and a movie. Tell her it's a date. Fin.

Also, when your at the classy restaurant, tell her to close her eyes. You have a special present for her. Then take her hand and slow put it down your trousers. Ask if she likes what she feels. If she says yes, your set. If not, just laugh it off.. in either case, she'll think your witty...

hehe seriously. you would know it if there was smoething. she would give you little hints maybe a hand on your lap (or in if youre lucky ;)) or she stares deeply into your eyes while youre both talking. but if don't even feel that vibe then it's off to the zone.

Not sure how you got "not the greatest place for relationship advice" to imply "mutually exclusive." Do you know what mutually exclusive even means?

Bullshit...he's the man, he needs to be the agressor.

No, you don't have to say, "Oh, I really like you, will you be my girlfriend" but, make a move, stick your tongue down her throat....don't get so friendly that she puts you in the friend zone so while you're paying for her hockey games she's giving the business to some dude in the back of a Dairy Queen.

Good luck!

I'm just saying what has worked for me... I'm not telling him NOT to be aggressive. I'm telling him not to become obsessed with her unnecessarily. I've been in situations where I was being WAY too aggressive for absolutely NO reason (the girl obviously wasn't interested in me and all that happened was me getting hurt). Girls usually let a guy know, just look for queues and once you see them... Then be the aggressor.

Girls (at least in my experience) don't like a guy that's ready to be there all the time. That's what friends are...


Nah, Monk3y's right. It's not necessary to be the aggressor. You do want to make a move at some point, but grabbing her ass or sticking a finger in her butt when she's not looking is not the way to go.

She called you out of nowhere. She's definately interested. Make her pursue you (As she already established herself in that role). It totally works. Keep her interested...but seriously--don't be available to do everything. She asks about one night, say "I'd like that, but I have plans, but how about next week?" (maybe a few nights after--oh, and make sure you don't say "I'd love to!").

Seriously, I ignored several girls in highschool (wasn't really interested in the particular ones--even though most were quite hot...) that they almost snapped. (Works for most ages up until about 30, I'd say) It drives them crazy (You don't want to drive her insane--just don't be available all the time).

Gauge how she reacts when you brush up against her casually, sit close to her, give a peck on the cheek for hello/goodbye,etc. Play it cool and she'll dig you even more. She'll eventually jump your bones when she can't stand it anymore.

Just don't be a jerk. The guys on here that advise that probably never have relationships. There's a major difference b/w being a jerk and being unavailable.

Gl with it

If she's willing to spend Friday nights with you going out places, chances are she likes you, just be a gentleman about it, and things will fall into place.

Not sure how you got "not the greatest place for relationship advice" to imply "mutually exclusive." Do you know what mutually exclusive even means?

If you also understand what it means, it shouldn't have been too hard to figure out why I asked that question. It is often a failing of the weaker minded that they blame their lack of understanding of a concept on the failing of someone else. I'll break this down for you like you were a mentally deficient asshat spoiling for an argument.

He said this is a tech discussion board and not the greatest place for relationship advice, implying that the nature of the board somehow made the relationship advice less valid. If you concede that a person can both be interested in discussing technology and knowledgeable about relationships (that it's not mutually exclusive), then there's no reason why this simply being a "tech discussion" board should say anything about the quality of the advice.

Right, he said less valid, not completely non-valid. So my point still stands. Nice job calling me an asshat over something so simple. Doesn't take much to get you all pissy, does it?

I agree... don't " always be available" and don't always have free time for her. tell her you have other things to do, see how she reacts.don't always be there at her every whim, she'll get tired of you eventually and or you'll just be the friend that's always " there for her" I'm not saying be a dick, but be a gentleman. You should be able to pick up on the vibes going between you two. If you don't feel it, don't force it. I was thinking - if you asked her out for a drink and she said sure. you could slip in the phrase " so then it's a date?" and see how she reacts. *note* - you haven't talked to her in two years so if she gets weirded out and you stop talking ...

you've lost nothing - move on.
