Okay, through some divine intervention, I managed to go outside on a weekend and ventured to the mall for something and one of two things happened: a girl subtly asked me out and I completely blew it or I'm reading too much into the situation and she was just making polite conversation while helping me with something. I'm not going into detail but I'm leaning towards the latter.

Tell us what happened so we can give you an idea of what's going on.

Keep in mind that anyone in the service industry (clerks, cashiers, waitresses, etc) can seem nice and flirty when in fact they're like that with a lot of people.

Haha, you just reminded me of the time this waitress at Hooters didn't do shit for us and was a total bitch until I paid our check with a Benjamin. She got real friendly real quick. XD

I have typically found that those of us who are utter shit at social encounters will take insignificant actions of girls to actually mean something. This makes it basically impossible to actually read if we are being hit on or not, since we always figure we arent.

No, it happens to everyone.
 
Been reading on the previous page about the how to advice when going in for a kiss at the right moment but would this work:

-Say your in a car at the end of the night dropping her off.
-She looks at you and awkward silence and you say
-"So you wanna make out?" but in an upbeat cheerful voice

Ladies enjoy things like confidence, spontaneity, and romance. That tactic provides none of those.

That's the right attitude. Stay focused on more self improvement, and it'll happen naturally. It sounds like you weren't crushed by her actions, which is good. Also, you inviting her to things shows you've got confidence. Just keep more plates spinning and you'll be well on your way. It's only a matter of time and opportunity.

Lastly, on the offchance that she couldn't make it out but wanted to, things could work out with this girl later down the line. The important thing is you're not sitting around waiting. If it happens, great, but if not you're already looking elsewhere.
Thanks :) Like I said before, she's new in town, and I only met her for the first time like three to four weeks ago, so she's just a random person at this point, which makes it a lot easier not to get worked up over it :) Of course, it's hard not to wonder what happened, she did add an almost complete stranger, after all. But eh, it's not a big deal. Those who care, don't matter. And those who matter, don't care :)

Don't ask for a kiss, just go for it. Make sure the situation is right. You might want to give the girl a hug and then proceed for the kiss with your arms around her. Should be okay if the girl is into you.

So gaf I need some advice.. I recently started dating my next door neighbor( not always the brightest idea) and things were going awesome. After one week we decided to become a couple. She's been talking to this guy heavily before we started seeing eachother and she promised she told him and they just talk as friends.. He lives out of state anyways. Well the weekend that followed we went out with some friends drinking and she spent the whole time on the phone texting him. I ask her about it and said that's how she dates, she talks and sees multiple guys and decides on what she likes. I proceed to tell her that's fine but I don't want any part of it, and tell her I'm leaving. She gets angry and said she's not ready, so I leave. She comes knocking on my door 30 min later crying that I was the only guy she wanted and promised she'd tell him that she just wants to be friends. 2 weeks later I found out shes been talking to him, with him on a girls name on her phone. Should I just say screw it and move on? I've started really liking this chick, we get along so well. Just don't wanna be stuck in the middle of drama

Drop it. You want to be serious with her but she clearly has no interest in that kind of relationship.

Yeah either drop her or just bang her every once in awhile if you want
 
Been seeing one bisexual girl (the red head) and I'm going out on a date with another bisexual girl tomorrow night. If all goes well, do I dare go for the championship belt?
 
Ok typing this from my phone so sorry for any mistakes.

Theres this girl I have been hanging out with since the beginning of summer off and on. We have a lot if the same group of friends so we see each other then, and me and her have gone a few places together. Over this time I started crushing hard on her, and one of he friends told me she liked me as well. Problem was she had a boyfriend so we just left t at that.

Sunday night we were chatting on Facebook an she told me her boyfriend had just broke up with her. So we talked for about a hour over and I was just trying to cheer her up and stuff.

So I guess my question is, what's my next steps if I want to take it "to the next level". Just let it happen organically and see what happens or what?

Okay, new situation and please tell me if I'm not making any sense:

At my current university there's a girl who I am well acquainted with because we went to the same high school and she is friends with this other girl that I would really like to meet. How would I go about telling this friend/acquaintance from high school that I want to get to know or possibly hook up with her friend? Is this a bad idea?

Also, this girl that I want to get with is a senior and is graduating next year so my window of opportunity might be a bit small or might not exist at all... but hey, might as well try.

As long as you don't cut off communications with that one friend, then it's fine. It's kind of rude to use people to meet dates and nothing else.

Or as long as I don't cut off communication between the two of them. haha...

Even though this friend from high school and I have the same major (graphic design) we don't share any classes because I'm a transfer student trying to make up for all the useless credits I got at BJU. Fucking bible classes...

I think I'll just message my high school friend over Facebook about this interest I have for her friend (Don't worry. I won't phrase it like that in the message). She knows me well enough to know that I'm not creepy. If anything, she might be extremely enthusiastic to introduce me to her friend.

Edit: Okay, I can't think of what to write... any suggestions? Again, I don't want to sound like "Oh hey, I was snooping around Facebook and I saw your friend and now I want to get down with her."

Yes.

Don't come back until you've ditched her. Don't ever waste your valuable time with bullshit like this. Fuck that noise. Bail and don't look back. Though, now you might have some future drama with a neighbor though...

You are already her cuddle bitch/ emotional sponge. You're in the friendzone and don't even know it. She'll probably just use you to vent any sorrow and bad feelings about her ex.

She'll use you as an emotional crutch and find another dude for everything else that she wants, that she once had. That, or she'll just go back together with her ex. This is usually how this shit works. This isn't the first time I've read or heard about this kind of situation.

Unfortunately, you set yourself for this by being too nice. Yes, there is such a thing. But it's not too late. Just don't talk to her for a while. Let her come to you. Maybe you can pursue (fuck you Brent Smith) her later, when she's over her ex and actually ready to see someone new. But in the mean time, she just wants someone to make her feel better. Unless she hates his guts, and has some genuine feelings for you (you claimed she did, but friends can be full of shit or be wrong about things...a lot), don't expect her to fuck you or want a relationship with you any time soon.

Don't fall deeper than you already have. Just bail out. There are plenty of other ladies out there. No reason to waste your time with this one. Chances of success are low...

This. And it makes you look cowardly.

You know, I wouldn't bother asking the acquaintance to "set you up" or whatever. Again, it makes you look like a pussy or, in some way, asking permission to initiate contact. So to avoid that, don't ask at all. Do it yourself.

Women love confidence. Be a man, go up to her and introduce yourself. No need to be so formal (like you're courting her or some shit) or have a middle(wo)man do the work for you, so early on.

The worst she'll do is blow you off. So what? Move onto the next one.

Thanks for the advice but after some more snooping I found out that she's already taken.

so... next...
 
Well I've got another date tomorrow with another girl.
This time its dinner at 7 at some pancake parlour place.

The previous girl who I met up with for a first date over the weekend never contacted me since and I havnt contacted her so I thought fuck it and asked out this different one.

Hopefully there is some attraction with this one.

But im wondering what should we do after dinner?
Go for a walk or something? Theres not much to do or see and its a thursday night.

Update to the post I made the other day. So, now the chick (who I should note I barely even know) wants me to sext her pics of my privates. Is there a way to get out of this safely? I mean she seems like she could be a nice person but I'm not sending a girl I just recently met pics for two reason. A. I'm uncomfortable with that and B. Who knows what she'll do with the pictures.

Tell her to send pics first and if she does then send a fake one back. lol

Well, I took your advice gaf and told her that we were better suited as friends. She took it hard and asked me to just be patient with her, but I stood my ground.

Yeah no pics from her first, no deal. Have you even sexed her up yet?

Anyone else absolutely HATE breaking things off with a girl?  I always feel like such an asshole afterwards…  It’s like running over a kitten or something.
 
But, there’s this girl that I have been kind of seeing lately.  She’s good looking and seems to be pretty cool.  We’ve hung out three times now.  No hookups just brief makeout sessions, but she has told me that she really likes me.  Problem is I’m just not feeling the chemistry with her.
 
The old me in this situation would have just kind of dropped communication with her altogether, but that seems kind of douchey.   She is also friends with someone I work with, and I don’t want it to cause any friction there.
 
Anyways, I’m considering just sending her a fb message along the lines of: I’ve been thinking lately that we should just stay friends, and that I’m not really ready for anything more than that.  Is the fb message an ok way to do this?  We’ve never talked on the phone, and I don’t feel the need to do it in person after only two official dates and no hookups.  I feel like a fb message is better here because a text invites her to respond back to my phone ( I don’t know, it makes sense in my head anyways).
 
Also just want to thank everyone who posts in this thread, it’s always encouraging.  I read this thread religiously and have used a lot of the great advice in here.

Uh..no. We've only seen eachother in the tinychat room. I told her I'd like to meet up first before we start doing that kind of thing.

Who cares? Just don't respond if it makes you feel uncomfortable. You don't know her, and furthermore, you don't owe her anything.

and my friend told me there are a lot of fat chicks on that site...more than cupid.

also, i got an email from the opposite sex on match.com...but i'd have to pay to see it. probably fake though or something trying to get you to pay for their shit.

For those that don't know, I finally worked my way past numerous barriers and got into the best relationship I've ever had. Good stuff right? Well, everything was good until we had to move apart. Things went okay for a week or so but we both went through a lot of unrelated shit on both ends. Still strong though - then comes the BS.

She is taking leave to go back home for a wedding. I'm all for it, she needed the vacation. While she's there something happens and she's all off balance because of it. I guess it as this... she's 31, unmarried, no kids, works as a cop and generally does everything a good Mormon shouldn't be doing - her dating a younger guy, a black guy, isn't going to make her any less of an outcast. In that situation... I'm not sure what exactly to do.

We both did a lot to get this far, but on this one she's giving me nothing to work with. I called her when she got back to get an idea as to where we stood now (and I was ready to get the all clear to end it) but in that conversation she went from being this confident woman to some unsure college girl in the blink of an eye. I get confirmation on her end not to wait for her one minute, and in the next I ask her to only send my stuff back if we're done and she can't answer at all.

So I'm confused. I know better than to chase a lost cause, but at the same time I know how good it feels to look back after weathering a storm. This bomb only got dropped on me yesterday, and I haven't spoken to her since, but I'm not sure what to say next or when to say it.
 
Ok, So..

Kinda feel a bit weird doing this, But I'm in a weird situation so whatever.

About 2 weeks ago I met this girl, she obviously liked me we got along quite well, I pretty much just went along with it. We've been getting quite close (I've stayed over at hers a few nights etc.) However I can't see myself being in a relationship with her; We have nothing in common, she always says stupid stuff and she's a bit over clingy.

But I don't really want to end it. Cause y'know. Foreveralone.png.
