Just make sure that person isn't already taken.

Friendship first, romance later.

That's the way to make sure it'll last.

And to continue my whine : I am spineless
oh well, time to grow a backbone. Maybe I will have some fun drama to weave into a tale. Wish me luck!

No they don't.

Just don't be a smothering, I-love-you-even-though-I-just-met-you kind of guy.

Nice guys can get in on the action. Trust me. I'm a nice guy.

The things that help are:

-to NOT help the women that have problems... move on
-don't spend every minute of every day with her
-don't give her ANY gifts until 90 days have passed. no flowers, no cards (unless it's for a birthday or holiday), no gifts of any kind until that limit is up... those that stick around for 90 days are the ones that are really interested in you... and women are slow to realize that they don't have any interest in a guy, so 90 days is long enough that they'll realize they're not interested in you if that's the case.
-and being a nice guy does NOT mean that you bend over for the woman. it means that you are courteous, respectful, and abide by your manners when you are around the woman you are interested in.
-if you pour the attention on, the woman will get turned off.
-if you go to a woman for advice, do NOT go with what she says alone. ALWAYS get a second opinion. my brother always got burned with this... at least until I set him straight.

Remember... these "rules" aren't meant to be cruel or mean or anything like that. They're to protect you from unnecessary harm and wasting your time with a poor investment. You want the women that are interested in you... you should know this pretty quickly.... she'll go out of her way to touch you somehow, she'll display body language that says that she's interested in you (attention focused on you for no apparent reason, legs not crossed when she's seated across from you at dinner, laughter, etc.) I know that sounds funny, but you gotta learn to spot the women that show interest in you... it's obvious when you know what signs to look for... that's the point of meeting a lot of women.

Think of it like this: it's generally accepted (by society and by biology) that the male approaches the female. BUT, the female is the one that chooses. NO amount of showing off will sway a female's mind once it's made up. That's why you should spend some time to figure out what biological and behavioral signals women give off when they show interest. Understanding this will also save you a LOT of heartache.

You hit it right on Asha, couldnt say it any better. Yes dont smother us or we will lose interest fast keep us thinking about you.

From a girls perspective, at least mine, Ashas "rules" dont sound cruel at all but help you men deal with us women and at the same time keep us interested in you and to see if you are the right one for one another. Nobody wants to waste their time so dont do it

Ah fer cryin out loud...I say pee on their leg and get it over with...what were we talking about

Gambit · 11-19-2003, 03:07 PM

The problem is, if they'll stick with you through THAT, you may not want them to...
