We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

Hopefully Wombat can distill some sage advice at a later juncture Girl at gym, been semi-coaching her, seems interested, interest not reciprocated on my part, need to arrange smooth explanation of situation without jeopardizing professional courtesy. Only wimps run over cats. You're out. =( It was already dead! I jest, there was no feline fatality, 'twas but fabrication. I did sit on a frog when I was ten though, broke my heart. Always liked frogs. | ||

In reassuring girls with that mentality. Flipping it around and making a joke works because it is inferring that the starting position of 'oh I'm so fat' is ridiculous, and ergo not true. God I can't think properly today, curse my brain! | ||

In seriousness though, how do you know she is interested? Are you a coach in a professional capacity or have you been assisting her off your own bat? If you want to shirk confrontation in letting her down, kill her interest organically over a period. Think of it as applying PUA techs, but backwards. unless she's a weird obsessive (understandable in your case ofc), if you frame yourself as undesirable, her interest will wane. | ||

You're either trolling or this is some PUA crap. You do know that all the PUA crazies have migrated to this thread ever since their beloved PUA thread got closed, right? | ||

I think I'm more the actual Hannibal type. I'm standing in for the regular coach during the summer, so it's in at least a semi-professional capacity. I don't think she's obsessed or has any kind of unhealthy interest, I just suck at letting people down, it makes me feel like a turd. Lol, what was that about obsession being understandable in my case? Not offended or anything, just a little perplexed. | ||

So one day she's in tears and tells me she has something horrible to admit. Obviously, she had slept with her ex. I wasn't sure why she even told me and said something along the lines of: "That's really not a problem, I've assumed you had been doing that all along.", because I really had assumed that. Suddenly she screams at me, do I take her for a whore, what a horrible thing to say, yada yada. I tried to calm her down, but ultimately left and haven't heard from her since. Here's the problem: when I left in a hurry, I forgot that she still has my ukulele. How do I get her to mail it to me, without being too inconsiderate? Hmm, maybe give her some time to cool off, then you could send her some flowers and/or a handwritten note telling her you don't think she's a whore and asking for the ukulele back? | ||

All you're doing is reinforcing what I said: you can't change someone, it is up to them to "change." You are suggesting some sort of infantile reverse psychology, that strikes me as very "PUA," but it could be some other form of weird thinking. People are sheep, of course you can change them. | ||

"I'm giving serious thought to eating your wife" is still the best one liner ever. Given my strictly culinary interest in children, I've always found him to be something of a role-model. And your kind words warm my shriveled heart, were I not busy watching a masterpiece starring the inimitable Dwayne Johnson I would compose an epic in your honour. | ||

Hannibal is a most scary individual for sure, but I am rather jealous of his meticulous neatness and sharp tailoring | ||

Just go to her place, get her a small gift and apologize for what you said. Afterwards just ask her for your ukelele. | ||

You're lucky if she hasn't already done unspeakable things to your instrument. Lol all this time I was thinking his ukelele was a synonym for his penis... I felt rather disturbed when I read the "doing unspeakable things to your instrument" haha.. | ||

He was beating some dudes up with a 2 by 4, then, suddenly, Johnny Knoxville. Then he beat up some more dudes and that was it. | ||
