So ahhhhh ummmmm, sex in the back of a car is really fucking awkward and uncomfortable :lol

Doesn't help that I'm 6'2'' and it wasn't a big car.

Any preferred positions?

/stealth brag?

Not really asking for help, but never let the girl you're interested in have a friend tag along for road trips and shit, especially if you don't know her that well. Fucking A, 24 hours of major cockblockage. Everytime I tried to talk to her, other girl would talk for her. Ughhhhh

Depends on the car. I'm 6'3 and had sex in the back of a girl's rental and it was great. In fact, the angle the seat put us at made it some of the best sex we had. That and the fact we were doing it in the parking lot of a church in the middle of the night.

Yeah it's a smallish car which made it hard, and couldn't adjust the back seats either.

Still had fun though :lol
 
So after participating in this thread way too much this last weekend, I decided to try PoF again.

5 girls messaged, 3 replies.

Not bad.

Although I just noticed they made seeing if the girl read your message or not a paid feature? WTF?

Now they want us to pay to see "read, deleted"? :lol

Some of you guys doing the online dating thing reaaaalllllyyy need to leave your ego's at the door.

Online dating != GAF.

Is that in reference to my complaint?

I don't know what kind of standards you have, but if a girl isn't able to type up a sentence, then why should I be interested?

I'm not desperate enough to want to nurture a relationship out of "yeah, lol" and "dats true".

OMG, they totally added that in within the past 48 hours or so!

My first reaction when I saw that the status said "show" was

"awesome, now our feeling only get hurt if we click, that's so nice of them!"

only to realize the idiocy of their charging system.

PoF is too hard to message on. How exactly am I supposed to message a girl whose entire profile consists of "Looking for dates, maybe you." Maybe it's just the ones whose pictures look attractive, but...

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO "NURTURE A RELATIONSHIP" OUT OF DATING SITES IN THE FIRST PLACE

So, this is our second date, I asked her out. After the date, we went for a dinner, where her sister joined us. I didn't know beforehand her sister was joining. What's GAF's opinion on who should pay the bill? Had her sister not joined us, I would've definitely paid. Tonight though we ended up splitting the bill.

If it was a date why did her sister join? Did you ask your date about this?

If it was just you and her then yeah you could pay if you wanted but no way should you have to pay for her sister as well :lol

PoF is bloody easy to message on, that's the whole point. But the site has been going downhill for a few years now, every since they've been trying to capitalize/make money off the damn thing. I mean, the premise of the site was that it was free compared to others!

edit: PS. You should just ignore the ones with the one-line profiles. They're not worth the effort.

You're not nurturing. You're replying.

Well two of us went somewhere for walk and talk before the dinner, when apparently her sister called, and my date told her sis where we're going for dinner, and her sister decided to join as their house is within walking distance from the restaurant anyway. So yeah... I kept thinking throughout the dinner whether I should offer to pay or not :lol
 
jamesinclair said:
Then what exactly do you think a dating website is for?
Meeting people to go on dates!

Dates that lead to further dates!

Further dates that have meaningful conversation!

Dates that turn into relationships!

Relationships that you can nurture or whatever the fuck!

Do you get mad when the girl you make small talk with at the coffee shop, or the library, or the gym doesn't launch into deep exposition the first time you talk to her?

This is what I'm saying about expectation- dating sites are cool, because you get to know a lot more about a stranger (interests, etc) than you would meeting an actual stranger, but you still have to treat the site, the initial messages, and all subsequent messages as a first time encounter.

The site is there for you to set up MEETING someone IN PERSON. It is NOT there for you to find deep conversation and relationship nurturing.

The entire dating site experience is the equivalent of going up to a girl you don't know in real life, introducing yourself, and then asking her out. Treat it as such.

Can't help you there. Only car sex I had was in the front seat. While moving. Down I-95. At 70MPH.
She just straddled me, I hit cruise control, and let her do the work while I focused on not dying.
It wasn't that great to be honest, she loved it but I was too focused on not slamming into the guard rail to enjoy it.
Plus, only teenagers should have sex in cars. Just find a backroad somewhere and bend her over the hood if you don't have a room to fuck in and want to have a quickie.

I don't get how what you read is depressing. It's true, I've asked out several women before and always been shot down and I'm still not sure why.

Its depressing to read because you continue to avoid dealing with your inner personal issues. At the end of the day, how do you expect to have any success with women if you dislike who you are on the inside? Your dislike for yourself will come out when you interact with people in very subtle ways that can be easily detected.

grap3fruitman said:
I don't exactly have anything to be positive about, wouldn't you agree?

Nothing to be positive about? The fuck? You're posting on NeoGAF; playing CoD: BLOPS; sleeping with a roof over your head while other people in the world have it A LOT worse. There is plenty for you to be positive about.

grap3fruitman said:
See, I'm always told that I come off as creepy after-the-fact. I don't know if it has to do with my appearance or just because I'm awkward or what.

Than start experimenting by trying to change things about you that you can control. Go to the gym, get a new haircut, get some new clothes, etc. Heck, start looking at people who are successful with women and try to learn a few things from them.

Well, I guess I dislike myself because I'm not successful. If maybe I was, I probably wouldn't dislike myself as much. Chicken/egg scenario.

"Hi, I'm Chris. I'm not poor and I have video games to play, wanna do something Saturday night?" doesn't really roll off the tongue.

I've done these things. Based on what's been said here I don't think it's my appearance that's the issue (any more, it certainly was a huge factor up until right before I turned 19).

So this is the wrong place to ask for advice on the subject? bu-dum-tish! :lol

What's your sample size?
 
Sup Gaf, been following the thread and the past one. Tonight turned my shitty feelings into positive ones. So there's a bit of a back story to the week. You know I have everything at my disposal to get women, but I'm always lacking in my execution (Getting numbers is no thing, actually getting them to kick it with me has been a battle for the most part). And I piss myself off because I ask internally "Just need the opportunity" and whenever it comes around I get limp.

Around Tuesday I wanted to check out a coffee shop in the downtown area that I've heard about, so I just plan to get a cup of coffee and then bounce off. I walk in and behind the counter is a lovely lovely lady that is giving me the bright eyes, she reminds me of the last (and only girl) I had sex with. I check her out as she pours me some coffee, she turns around gets my cash all while showing me some beautiful eyes, I compliment her hair (It was about 5 or 6 inches, short hairs gets my burners going), she thanks me and I walk out... Kicking myself for not asking for her number, but then I feel that I'll see her again, so no trip. She was banging, so hope to run into her soon.

I go back to the shop, get to sit down this time. The beauty ain't in, but it's cool I go and read. While I'm there two girls sit not to far off, I recognize the one looking towards my direction, I find her attractive but she pays no attention to me. I get up, gotta get back to work. Didn't get a chance to see the other one.

Thursday, go back into the coffee shop. I find an ol' friend in there already. Say what's up to him, get coffee sit together. Two girls come in, sit at the table in front of us. I wave to one, I recognize her from a club meeting I went to once. So my buddy leaves, the other girl leaves. I chill on my computer, then I begin to pack up when she says "hey where do I know you from" I tell her it's from a club meeting at school and we begin talking. At first she wasn't really doing it for me, but I was still attracted to her. We were having a great convo, I didn't feel any pressure to impress her or think of anything, she was just as willing to talk. Anyways, I tell her I find our conversation quite interesting, so I grab another coffee. At this point I'm beginning to get a hard on, not in a totally sexual way, but I was just really digging this connection. So we gets to talking, then she brings up that she's renting out from a professor, I ask her who she lives with and she says a dude's name... And kinda slurs out her boyfriend as well. So I think "damn, finally get to a great convo after a good while and she has bf.. Oh well" I still kept talking to her cause I found her really chill. She invites me to a party they're throwing later on this month. Cool.

Comes around Friday. I go visit my family down in Fresno, I get there... No one is home. So I'm like shit okay, I get to playing some REmake, then decide "fuck it, might as well go bar hopping" I go check out the area where there's plenty of bars with in walking distance. Only thing that I noticed right away was that the majority of people seem to be much older than I, nothing wrong with that, just an observation. Anyways, night goes on, I have drinks... I sit at the bar but no ladies to really hit it off with. So I listen to the band playing, then head off to some other ones. I've had about 5 drinks by now, feeling alright. Walk up into a club, there's a reggae/rock band, pretty sick beats. Most of the women there are older, none of them seem to shoot any attention to me, so I start dancing by myself for a good 20 mins. Get out of there, go to a more packed bar. I see a milf next to me at the bar, I forget how we got talking but she then says "You gotta buy all my friends a drink", I just said "fuck, that's some hustling shit right there." Left it at that. So I had a good night, but no pussy. Wasn't my intention, I just wanted some drinks and talk to people.

Saturday, It's around noon brother and I go over to CVS to get some cold medicine, I notice the cute cashier as we walk in. We get what we need and then go up to pay. The cashier begins to give me those bright eyes as she hands me my change, I just talk but don't ask for her number... Fuck... Then comes around later on in the day, I go into this metaphysical kind of shop... They got some nice hippie broads in there, I ask one if she can show me where they carry the massage oil. We talk a bit, and she begins to give me a good vibe. I talk a bit with her but once again let this chance pass by, I had nothing to lose but I puss out. So anyways, fast forward to Sunday. Hung out with my little sisters, that's always great to me, gives me a breath of fresh air to life and reminds me of my duties as a human being and as a brother and son. But anyways, I can't help but still feel somewhat shitty because I do feel lonely. I get on facebook for a bit, I see a friend who I've always had a thing for but she has a man but it's cool cause she's one of the only females at this point in my life that I can really just talk to, and be open about everything even about me getting devious thoughts about me and her, haha. But yea, I tell her how I'm feeling and then she tells me to quit being a girl, I take the advice to heart.

So I'm driving back up, all while listening to Nas and Doom, and half way on my drive I think "Alright fuck thinking like a bitch" and I begin to think to myself "go to starbucks and you'll meet up with someone there for sure, just think positive" So I go to starbucks with my copy of "Love is a Dog From Hell" by Charles Bukowski. I get my tea, sit down and read. After a while a chick waves and says "hi I don't remember where I know you from but hi", she had very short hair, light dark skin (Once again digging the short hair). I then remember she use to have longer hair, I had rode up on my bike to her once about a month prior and we had a nice conversation as I walked with her to a club meeting by the university.

So we talk, and she has to get going. I go back to reading she comes back "Um.. do you come here every Sunday", I tell her that we should get together, she seemed very down for that, ha nice I think. She remarks "Shit, it's so weird running into you" (The power of positive thinking, ha). Anyways she bounces, got a number for the night, sick. So I go back to reading poems about Charles getting down with all different sorts of broads and then I sense two young girls walk by, I don't look up though ( but it's one of those moments where your body tells you to look but you ignore that intuition) anyways, I'm sitting down then I notice that my buddy walked in and so did his boyfriend. Apparently they knew the two girls that just walked out. My buddy is off talking to someone else, and at first only one of the gals sits with me and the boyfriend, they start talking about Avatar, one of the gals says "oh that's my fav movie", instanlly my gaf hive mind kicks in and thinks "pfff, she likes Avatar, no way would I be interested in her." but then I think "wait, remember the words of B Dizzle when it comes to small details like which movies you like, none of that shit really maters. then the boyfriend gets up and it's just me and her. She's very pretty and introduces her self. I introduce myself and begin talking. Then her friend comes in, we start talking about books, life... fast forward sometime, we say our good byes after our nice conversation. I decide not to ask for their numbers, because I know I'll run into them again sometime in the future since they hang out with my freind.

It's a long read I know, but pretty much, doesn't matter how shitty you feel about a day, week, month or year/s... All it takes is some positive thinking, knowing and handling your shit, and a couple of opportunities to make new connections. And a lot of thanks goes to this thread and guys like B Dizzle, I wouldn't mind buying the man a couple of lap dances for all the advice he's been throwing out.

Um, my girlfriend is on the pill, but stopped this week for her period (which she's on from Saturday)

We had sex Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but didn't even think to use a condom - we fucked up right? Is it even worth trying the morning after pill or...? Ahhh.

grap3fruitman your attitude is horrible. You're doing NOTHING to help yourself. Do you just think one day you'll wake up and everything will have fixed itself?

You need to get out there and speak to people. Not even just women, talk to anyone. Go out there and start conversations with people, you could actually make their day.

As you get more comfortable with talking to people, begin to speak to more women and slowly but surely your confidence will grow and in turn so will your success.

Sitting on a chair and looking for tips online is not going to bring girls back to your place. Go outside and seize what you want.
 
First time back in the girl-age thread for a while...I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it ever ok to go out with a mate's ex-girlfriend?

I have known this guy for 20yrs and he went out with her for about 4yrs.

I would cross the road to say gday to him but we are not close mates. We live nearby so do bump into each other every couple of weeks and stop to chat.

The ex-gf was talking to me about how we should hang out more often, where I was heading later on in the night, that she finds me funny etc.

2. Another girl who likes me is best friends with my best mate's girlfriend. My mate told me she is keen and even gave her my number. However, I am not interested in her. Is there anyway I can politely decline her advances without saying "I am not physically attracted to her" which is the truth.

3. Its the age old problem for me, the girls who I like are not interested in me and the girls who I don't like seem to want me. How can I reverse this so that I can find someone where the feelings are mutual?

"So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after."

i've done this a few times and whenever i felt bad about it, i knew it was wrong. dudes come first, but these things happen.

Sarye said:
1. IMO it is only okay if you let your friend know or ask him. But it really depends on how good of a friend you are to him.

essentially this. if he's a good friend and he's over it, talk to him about it. if not, do it and feel bad about it and move on before you get caught.

If you picked up the bill, instead of posting here you would have been pumping the sister whilst pouring hennessy on your dates tits.

I'm making an appointment with a shrink today. My depression is spiraling out of control. This is probably the lowest I've felt in 3-4 years. I can't imagine trying to pursue a girl right now, feeling like this.

I just got back from a mini-vacation with my brother and all I could think about was my shitty life. I couldn't even enjoy myself. Doesn't help that he's successful in virtually every area where I'm not (girls, friends, money).

A lot of the things I've been stressing about are legitimately crappy situations, but I can't deal with anything right now. My ex texted me on my way back yesterday and we chatted back and forth for about 2 hours. I was completely over her, but in my pathetic condition I started pining for her again. Ended up calling her twice last night (no answer) and sending a text about how she made me her workday-only text message buddy. Stupid as hell, but depression and desperation make you do weird things.

I almost invited over a girl who I have no interest in last night, just to have some damn companionship. But I don't want to fuck with her emotions like that just for some selfish temporary piece of mind.

Just my luck. Finally, after 27 years I get at least some luck with the ladies (obviously after at least partially sorting my life out) and now it seems like I've got Pfeiffer's disease. Right when a deadline for working is coming up.

This shit is seriously maddening, I've been stuck to the bed for one and a half week now, too tired to do anything, being bored out of my mind day in day out while at the same time being stressed by the deadline.

Funny how posters like Grapefruitman and Combine have the same self-defeating attitude. "I can't because...." "If only things were...." They act like our advice is supposed to be a quick-fix, and when it's not, they think that it validates their self-defeating mindset. No one has a 100% success rate with woman. Imagine what the word would be like if they did! There would be mass orgies in the streets

Jesus fucking christ. I've been chatting with a girl I met online the past month and a bit. We were getting along great, like things clicked instantly. I'm supposed to go visit her this week, until today, "we need to talk".

Her feelings for me have changed, she realized we'd probably be better off as friends, and that there's someone else.

It's possible that it's the way you treat the girls you like vs. the girls you don't like.

If that's your only criteria to being able to like yourself, than you're going to need to ask out a lot of girls.

Of course it doesn't roll off the tongue. You're skill level at talking to women is not at the point where you could even use that line to make it work.

Anyways.

Finding positives in your life is supposed to help you change your view of life and how you approach it on a day to day basis. You should feel a bit better about yourself and life because of what you have that those don't and that good feeling should be projecting in your interactions with women and people in general.

grap3fruitman said:

Okay, if it isn't your appearance than its something else. Maybe its your approach? Maybe its your clothing style? Maybe your clothing style doesn't match your personality?

grap3fruitman said:

It sounds like this is the only place you're asking for advice.

And like what other people here have said, your attitude is shit. Your unwillingness to acknowledge your poor attitude and to change it will continue to be a huge hurdle for you to ever succeed with women.

You always try to meet as soon as possible,like the first time you meet her online. Sounds drastic, doesn't it? The more time that lingers between you talking online, the less likely you'll actually meet her. If she doesn't want to, move on. Girls who say, "they need to get to know you," before meeting up are time wasters. No amount of talking to someone over IM will ever get to know that person.

Also, chances are that you were always available on IM (or had it idle in the background-I'm guilty of this too) , which decreases attraction.

Also also, the whole 'let's be friends' thing sounds like expectations were being set, which does not end well most of the time with dating women.

Jesus fucking christ. I've been chatting with a girl I met online the past month and a bit. We were getting along great, like things clicked instantly. I'm supposed to go visit her this week, until today, "we need to talk".

Her feelings for me have changed, she realized we'd probably be better off as friends, and that there's someone else.

I try to meet them within the first week of mailing. anything after that and i bail.

One week

Well for her and I to meet, it would require me to fly out to see her. I had my flight booked within 2-3 weeks of knowing her, but the flight was a month after.

We were pretty much talking constantly, we would be texting, IM'ing, playing WoW, etc. I don't know what happened. She said that this other guy, she's liked for awhile and didn't know he liked her back until recently, blahblahblah. She's not "committed" to him per se, and still kinda wants to see me but isn't sure how things would go between us because of the distance.

This whole IM convo her and I have been having is weird, like always. First it's "There's this other guy, and I think of you as more of a friend" then "Well I'm not that committed to him, but I'm not sure about our situation". She apparently has done the long distance thing for nearly 2 years and doesn't want to do it again, and right now with my current situation, relocating to be with her wouldn't be an issue but obviously I'd only do it after meeting up a few times.

First time back in the girl-age thread for a while...I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it ever ok to go out with a mate's ex-girlfriend?

I have known this guy for 20yrs and he went out with her for about 4yrs.

I would cross the road to say gday to him but we are not close mates. We live nearby so do bump into each other every couple of weeks and stop to chat.

The ex-gf was talking to me about how we should hang out more often, where I was heading later on in the night, that she finds me funny etc.

2. Another girl who likes me is best friends with my best mate's girlfriend. My mate told me she is keen and even gave her my number. However, I am not interested in her. Is there anyway I can politely decline her advances without saying "I am not physically attracted to her" which is the truth.

3. Its the age old problem for me, the girls who I like are not interested in me and the girls who I don't like seem to want me. How can I reverse this so that I can find someone where the feelings are mutual?

1) Hmmm....I've never been in that kind of predicament. However, in my opinion, generally, this should be one's course of action:

- If your friend is merely an acquaintance, and you're really not that close to him, I'd say the girl free game. Go for it.

- If you see and hang out with your friend on occasion, and are fairly close to him, I'd say ask him first, and then pursue the girl after a couple of weeks or so.

- If he is your best friend (say, you've been friends with him since you were in kindergarten), and is without a doubt your boy and main man, don't even bother with the girl. Don't ask, don't do anything. You don't want to fuck up such a good friendship over some girl. Show him some respect. There are plenty of other girls out there for you to mess around with. You don't want shit to be awkward or go sour between you two.

2) When it comes you're friend's, ex's friend, just ignore her. Or (politely) friendzone her. Don't appear too interested in her, and don't be an asshole and lead her on.

3) And for the last one....find and go out with girls who are interested in you. Easier said than done of course. Go to places and do things with girls who have common interests.

i'm still really not sold on this online dating thing - i hardly ever hear positive anecdotes about it and online chatting doesn't sharpen your social skills like actually going out and talking to people will.

especially this ridiculousness posted above - flying out to meet a woman for the first time? seems like a very, very poor value proposition

Bolded for truth. You can have mad spit game on AIM or FB, or even on the phone, but in person you freeze up. I think I'm good online, on the phone and in person. I don't like IM or phone conversations in general. They seem so impersonal and interfere with what I am doing. Face to face is always better. I'm much more at ease, comfortable, funnier (and at times, more persuasive) in person.

Online stuff is hit or miss. My results in the past have been alright. Some good some down right awful. But I think that applies to everyone. And yeah, anything long distance is a big no no. So to any of you even thinking about it, don't bother. Let me say that again. DON'T BOTHER WITH LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS. Either find girls online who live closer to you or go out and find them in real life.
