Damn you got to see Lin nail that buzzer beater.

Oh yeah, and congrats on the date ;)

My seats were second row from balcony to the side of the basket he hit the game winner on. So I saw it coming right at me.

The place erupted when he hit that. Or well the asian delegation erupted I should say.
 

Awesome read.

Seeing some things I did wrong on Flakey girl. Gonna give her a loooooooooong vacation to cool down and forget about me. Gotta reset her mind and start from scratch for another chance.

...I shouldve known from the morning after the night we didnt fuck. She gave me this really odd look right before she left outta the door... like she was annoyed/disappointed, in that youre-not-the-man-I-expected kind of way. Which explains why she has been acting that way. Thats way back though.

But I was pussified back then. Oh well, fuck ups happen.
 
Just had to drive home an old high school classmate and his girlfriend. The GF was fighting with her mom on the phone the entire time. I kind of felt bad for my classmate.

I get so turned off if a girl picks a fight with her parents, siblings, etc right in front of anyone. It just shows me that they're immature and don't know how to act when they are faced with a conflict.

She is from Merrick though, so I guess it's expected.

Long Island Joke
 
Had probably the best Valentine's Day ever.

Third date with this girl, took her out to the most romantic event I can think of...an NBA game between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. It was a great game, she really enjoyed it she hadn't been to a Raptors game in 10+ years and since I have season seats I figured why not.

Afterwards we went out for a quick bite to eat and then she drove me back to my workplace where I left my car. As we said our goodbyes something just clicked in my mind to just go for it, I have nothing to lose. I feel as if I could actually hear Bronzewolf in my mind telling me to not puss out and dive in.

Not going to say I was going in for some big passionate kiss, I was just going for a peck but she was totally into it and made it a lot more passionate then I expected.

Probably had the hugest grin on my face driving home.

Awesome man, glad your night went great. Hope it continues that way for ya.
 
Time to go gay or never date anyone. That link is a generalization but still. Why do I want to subject myself to that?
Seriously, I like also girls. Fuck, who wouldn't love tits and asses.

Still, to be fairly honest, men are just million times easier to cope with and not so damn hard to maintain. So as a friendly advice, if you feel anything for lads, better go for it.

Yeah, Livejournal and all that, but I'm feeling pleased with myself and want to brag

After 2 years with nothing more than a few one-nights, I'm finally back in the game. Not official, but it looks like it's heading that way. It's really impressive how this woman can make a German accent sound adorable.
Good for you. That is the way to go. ^__^

Also, what I have managed to collect every American lad is totally into foreign accents. Is this really the case?
 
Guys, I got dumped yesterday...yes on Valentines Day. I could sense something was up as she was distant for months but said nothing was wrong, I called her out and she went and dumped my ass. We were together nearly two years. This is my first break up, especially hard cos I fucking love her.

What do I do? She said I was her best friend and didn't want to lose me and cried saying she didn't want to lose me as I mean so much, she genuinely seems to.

She text me a bunch of times today asking how I was etc, in the end I told her to stop contacting me and she asked me to text her when I was ready. My heads all over the place. I can't move on but know I have to.

I've hit the gym hard today head I'm looking to beef up as I'll have more time on my hands. It's so fucking out of the blue. She bought assassins creed revelations just the other day for us to play together cos we loved the previous ones!

I fact even play the game cos she's got it and I was too stubborn to borrow it when she offered after I got my ass handed to me :-(

Its a perfect day to start the single life and enjoy it.

And you know what? I think its gonna be just awesome. Freedom is a beautiful thing.
 
Well my first coffee meetup went pretty well I think.

There are lots of niggling little things Im learning but am taking a mental note for the future. My goal is to just work on my social skills rather than look for a date or worry about relationships. Thinking that way and letting things just happen a bit more seems to be helping me mentally.

Had coffee at a nice bar down the road then went for a drive and talked looking out over the beach for a bit. Asked her to go for dinner. She felt like pasta. I couldnt think of a place to get any so I took her back to my cafe and cooked her dinner. (i used to be the chef but now work front of house for social improvement) why I didnt think to cut straight to making a meal myself is beyond me.

Eating in a closed restaurant on your own I thought would lack atmosphere (not that it should matter much when I was aiming for casual) but I think it worked out well and she seemed genuinely exited that I cooked her a meal. I think she took it as restaurant opened up specially just for her. Which is good.

There was a bit of a cultural and language difference between us but i think Im starting to understand her a bit better. She is very passive unlike New Zealand girls. Its a bit more effort for me as she asks a lot less questions back to me so I have to work at the conversation a lot more. Which is perfect really. Her reaction is understandable considering she is still learning english.

I have a reason to text (language barrier will make writing easier)her because she told me about a presentation she is giving today so I will see how that goes to get the conversation rolling and ask her out again in a few days time.

A quick coffee after work turned into 5 hours.

Is it korny to learn a compliment for next time we meet in Japanese? Shows Im taking an interest in her and culture? Lets me be the one with awkward speaking trying to pronounce Japanese words right.

How would you feel if roles were reversed, and you were in Japan learning the new language and the Japanese girl you were seeing used an English phrase on you? I bet you wouldn't think it was corny. At least I certainly wouldn't
So I say go for it.

Waxer, I say go for it too. It might impress her and at least it gives her giggles and she will most likely think it is extremely cute gesture of your part.

I think it is silly (in a good way) even then when a random Xbox dude learns a phrase in Finnish, even if he would totally fail with the pronounciation. It is the thought that counts so she should be into it.

And congratulations. It sounds to me it went extremely well. ^__^

I know exactly how you feel. I went through this about 4 months ago. Do yourself a favor and begin to analyze your relationship. Where did it fall apart? What can you do to better yourself?

Once you start to realize your mistakes, forgive yourself and enjoy life for what it is. Start doing things you've wanted to do for a long time. Go skydiving, run a marathon, read a book. Anything to keep moving forward.

ALSO!!!!

DO NOT BE FRIENDS WITH HER. Stay away for as long as you can. It's going to be really counter-productive to your progress with yourself if you're always around her. Tell her you're staying away from her and that you'll be in touch in a few months.

dude, thats pretty awesome that you cooked her dinner out of the closed cafe that you used to be the chef at.

Poor babe. I am sure you feel hurt and lost at the moment.

I am sure, she still loves you, but in a more of a brotherly way than you would like. It is really hard for her too. Trust me.

If you in any way manage to lower your feelings towards her with some time (couple months maybe), I would say you could still hang around with her. I mean if she is good company and you can be with her without feeling totally shitty or having a boner all the time, why wouldn't you chill and hang out.

In the end I need to admit, that my advice is really biased and far from objective. It would still show that you are an awesome lad and above feeling totally rancorous.

I have the same paranoid feelings.
All of you should get over it. If you just nicely ask a girl out, it is totally her fault if she takes it in the creepy way. If you don't stalk her, openly comment the size of her tits or send her creepy perverted messages, you should be fine.
 
How do you define a 'date' anyway?
As opposed to just going somewhere with a girl?
Does it even matter?
Whatever man I dont even.

I've Gotten Ice cream with said girl, then took her to the gun range
What would you do in my shoes for the 3rd one?
 
I can't believe you guys are being such pansies about girls' drama. It's not hard to deal with. Like the article says, you need to just not freak out when it happens

I seriously have decided to try to rather avoid the drama or be the drama than deal with it.

...

I always tell myself that I'm not gonna pussy out yet I always do. It's like I put every chick I think is attractive on this huge pedestal and then my self confidence goes out the window. It's so damn frustrating cause I know any girl would be lucky to have a guy like me. Probably doesn't help that my last 2/3 of my last girlfriends cheated on me. Can't trust any girl. Bahhh
That is a good thing to keep in mind.

You also could add to that, that you have absolutely nothing to lose (which you don't). If the girl is really as nice and attractive as you think she is, you don't afford to lose her without even trying. Also if she says no, she is either taken or really not worth of your awesome time.

So be the man.

"When 2 members of the oppesite sex meet without the intention of establishing a friendship" is the idea Im getting.

Dont think about it. Meet up and see what happens. By the end of the day you will know if its been a date or not.

EDIT: But disregard that term anyway. Call it a meeting.
 
I don't care about drama. I can handle it. No matter how centered and down to earth a girl is, drama will eventually find you. Better know how to handle it
It is awesome if you can handle it. I am too lazy to do so, so I just prefer lads nowadays. They can also create drama, but it is that kind of drama I can easily handle.

Hmm... Ok. Now I think I am in the point where I have commented all message I wished before this message. My order of comments make absolutely no sense.

Most Canadian dudes are out here. I find the Aussie accent intoxicating personally.

Well since this is a male-seeking-female thread, I guess the drama thing is BOUND to come up eventually.
 
I am from Finland and I can see the resemblance. Yes, that is Sweden.

That is also kinda Finland, but I am lame and boring and really not into alcohol, so I have missed all those parties... Thank god.

True. And since I most likely fail to turn all of you to gays and bis, you better be here to advice the youngster.

I also lurk in here and pretend to help.

Just because you all are so adorable.

Hi guys.
So a while ago, I met a woman through an exercise group I attend, and I could tell she was in to me. I didn't take any action because she wasn't really my type, and considerably older.
About a week or two ago, she found me on OKC and sent me a message or two. I replied, and we chatted about our dating lives, and other random things.
For about the last week, while she's been out of the state, we've been chatting on OKC, Facebook and texting a lot. It's been almost constant flirting. I'd assumed always with the knowledge that's it's just some fun.
Now, she may think the same, but I get the feeling she'd like something more, perhaps.
I'm 26 and she's 37. I'd be interested in more with her, but not a relationship. I'd want someone much younger for the long term (Kids, but not soon, etc).
How do you guys suggest I go about not leading her on, without being too frank? Should I make sure this never goes beyond flirting?
 
To be honest... Well, long hair on lads is generally sexy as fuck, but neckbeard.. not so much so.
Link?
I am from Finland and I can see the resemblance. Yes, that is Sweden.

That is also kinda Finland, but I am lame and boring and really not into alcohol, so I have missed all those parties... Thank god.
Oh Finland? Nice. I have a class mate from there. I used to think the same way as you do. I see myself a lot in those words. You need to snap out of it :)
Well since this is a male-seeking-female thread, I guess the drama thing is BOUND to come up eventually.
Wolf, I like your advice, but your attitude is really weird :P You honestly sound just as much like a troll account as Kingi and co even though the actual content is alright.

And what happened to this thread? The pages have multiplied at an insane speed this last week or so.
 
For those who struggle with things to talk about, I advise to watch The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, man he can just talk about anything with the guests, his conversation just flows working off basically anything the guest says. I've tried this in the field and my conversation skills are much more smooth and there are less awkward pauses.
 
You want a link to a sexy long-haired lad or to some neckbeard photos?

I used to think the same way as you do. I see myself a lot in those words. You need to snap out of it :)
I think my irony didn't really reach you. Hahah. I don't simply really appreciate that kind of drunk parties and the company that usually goes into those, thus I don't feel the need to lower myself to that level. I have my fun elsewhere. ^__^

I haven't never seen this thread going that slowly, but that is most likely cause I am a newbie and got my account activated only a week ago.

I myself think that age doesn't matter basicly at all and for example my stepmother is 22 years younger than my dad is. But if you are thinking of having kids, lets say after 10 years, then that is not your pick for sure.

If that is the case, you make sure it doesn't go beyond flirting. Or you could also hint her that you are not into family things just yet (cause she is most likely desperate and in that kind of age were she is thinking about having kids) and see what is her reaction to that.
 
Seriously, I like also girls. Fuck, who wouldn't love tits and asses.

If anything I am bicurious but I don't really fap to guys or anything so Idk. I can see myself being in a romantic relationship but idk sexual.
 
You're probably right bud... But that ass...

Plus I really liked her. Haven't really digged a girl since a bad situation back in Oh Nine

On the subject of being Texan, I hadn't realized how Texan I was until I moved to Arizona for college :P

Just because you've friend zoned her doesn't mean you can't hit it if the opportunity presents itself, just keep in mind that a girl like that who flakes when you're in the not-even-dating phase is not GF material. You can do better.

But if she has dat ass...take the opportunity if she seems willing, just don't date her.

Hehe, the former, I guess? I think my point still stands after that explanation :) These threads have taught me not to place values in things on a whim, especially when it comes to things I perhaps previously have prematurely judged as negative or not good enough for me :) In other words, actually experiencing the things I had judged earlier, has made me change my mind about a lot of things and I'm very glad I have. As for this thread, it feels like the last 20 pages or so have flown by. I haven't been able to keep up, perhaps because I've spent 26 hours in school in the last 48 hours...

I only have photos from the GAF meetup, where I had my full neck beard.
Post it. I want to see if your opinion is valid or not ;)
 
This thread needs more courage wolf.

ibf8ENVjuQckrg.jpeg

Am I right to say that this is kind of useless because anyone can just get laid. I dated a girl last week that I wouldn't want to lay. Not to sound like an asshat (OK I'm an asshat) but neither of my parents are particularly impressive nor were they ever (at least from pics). So isn't it more about getting someone we really like rather than settling?

I don't think there's one guy in this entire thread that's like, you know that boring ugly girl, I really wish she'd just accept me.

/Asshat

Lol. Ok, it seems my irony wasn't clear enough. Lets just say I have experienced enough of that kind of parties to know, I don't feel the need to participate them anymore.

Sauna parties (pool required) are totally different story, but after that last water volleyball match I haven't really been into those either.

nah man, you are slightly deluded if you dont think there are tons of guys that would love to get laid. people in this thread talk about not even being able to talk to girls.. or even social situations. making light of the ease of sleeping with someone is pretty ignorant, imo.
