On that same note, what are some ways to get a girl to put away their phone? Like in a jokingly/playful sort of way

So
1) Any particular thoughts or comments on this?
and
2) I've read a lot of reviews about sites with MANY men and some women here and there typing how there really seem to be many "fake profiles".

You mean during a date ?

Asking someone to stop doing something annoying has to come by their own realization that it's annoying which isn't an emotion that goes very well with laughter.
But without being rude just say you'd like it if she'd stop using her phone. Most of the time she'll be okay with it if she's a nice enough person. If she starts to be really bitchy ("Don't tell me what to do") and doesn't stop, just leave the date, she sucks.
Trust me, being able to walk away will give you a lot more confidence in the end than accepting to be disrespected.

In the end anyway its the same as saying she's disrespectful (with reason) so you will have to stand your ground and resume conversation to kill the awkwardness that may come out of it. You can also ask if she is waiting for something really important, it happens (family member in hospital, etc), but the last evening of her bff can wait.

By the way, I wouldn't freak out for one or two checks during a date, as long as she doesn't start texting, looking facebook, and answering calls that's okay with me.

I recommend keep texting/chatting and build some more rapport before you ask her out again. If you do insist on a second date, maybe something fun that keeps you both on your feet.

Just assume she's into you. It gives you a little confidence boost.

Met new girl, invited her over after I explained how awesome I make blanket forts. I'm 22yr btw and fuck you forts are awesome at all ages. Blacklights and glowsticks etc and probably some cards and music. She brings her friend but idc didn't expect anything too major to happen tbh.

Anyway... night went good, first time we actually hung out and it gets x-rated by the end of the night while the friend is still awake. Won't go into details but the jist of it was I didn't get much sleep.

She starts calling me babe and hun and shit and giving me the heart symbol (never reciprocated anything and ignored it when I could). She's txting me a ton and using all those words less than like 48hours later.

<.< red sirens are going off in my head when she asks me if we are a couple now. I'm now thinking how/when I should bail.

Red flags indeed. How you should bail depends on what exactly you want. If you would like to continue sleeping with her, your best approach is probably to be upfront with her that you enjoyed the experience but it doesn't mean you're a couple. If not, you can either let her know that upfront or gradually reduce contact to zero by responding less and less to her.

In a few weeks, some girl will post in a "dating how's your luck thread" on some girly website asking "why do guys play games T_T he invited me to his blanketfort to have sex and then he started ignoring me, should I ignore him back?"

Well fuck chicks. After 3rd date she tells me she's not interested in a relationship and she said she was sorry for any confusion. Politely told her to fuck off. She contacts me through a dating website, spends time with me alone several times and compliments me. I can deal with you telling me it just didn't work out and I'm not your type, that's fine, I can handle rejection. Don't fucking play it off like it was never your intention to get into a relationship, that's just gonna piss me off. Ty for wasting my time and not having the balls to admit it. Welcome to irl /ignore.

I am no longer going to pay for anything for a girl ever until it's the 3rd+ date. I like being chivalrous and all but I'm tired of a girl not having the guts to tell me the truth and just wasting my time and money. I ain't making bank or anything ffs.

Right, long story incoming.

There's this girl I'm interested in (not really sure if I like like her yet, but I want to find out enough that I'm contemplating doing something about it, which is a big deal for me ) and the way she talks to me in text says she might be interested as well (though she could just be friendly, I can never tell). There are however, some... complications.

I used to share some classes with her back in high school. We never really talked or did anything together back then, I simply knew of her existence. Through friends I later met her sister, and had a huge crush on her for a while. That's years ago now, and I can honestly say it's no longer a big deal anymore to me. Considering that family is rather open, I assume the girl I like (call her J) knows about this, though I can't know for sure. I talked to the sister about it and she said she wouldn't mind me potentially dating J (and to reiterate, we're the same age).

We never really talked much, untill recently. J moved to a new city and I asked her to join me and some friends when we were going out in that city. She said yes, and even though we didn't end up going, we texted back and forth a bit afterwards. She later on invited me to come to her bday party, which I went to (but nothing really happened because I'm a huge coward among people I don't really know). She was friendly to me in text leading up to said party. Telling me how much she was looking forward to me being there, offering a place to sleep even though I live only 15 miles away, ending most of het sentences with exclamation marks (I'm told that this often means people are interested, much like ending sentences with full stops often means anger/irritation), etc. She could very well just be acting really friendly, as I said I'm bad at telling.

Normally (as seen on this page and the one before that), the advice would be to assume she's into you and just go for it, and normally I'd agree, but I'm not sure if the situation here is a bit awkward, with me having had a crush on her sister. I wonder if me going for it would make things awkward whenever I'm at their house (as said, her sister is a friend of mine) or with mutual friends. I can also see why me having a crush on her sister a few years ago and now potentially being interested in the "little sister" could be seen as rather weird or creepy by some.

What do you guys think?
