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. | ||

Then I say fuck it and dive in head first. Think of it like jumpin into a cold pool on a hot day . Yea I hear you on that, and I'm pretty much the same way. I'll swallow my doubts and just smile through clenched teeth, even if inside she's making me shake like a 13 year old boy lol. The girl's stunning, but she's also really outgoing, smart, and we have a lot of things that are in common. I'm obviously over thinking everything of course, but that's what I do, and I can't help but imagine myself wanting to be with her when the feeling isn't mutual; I have a problem with getting attached to the wrong chicks, particularly the one's that need attention 24/7. But who knows, maybe this one is the different, different one. | ||

I just finished going through it. | ||

Answering no when you are attracted to her would just be dishonest about your intentions, while at the same time it isn't really necessarily a date. If you are spending 1 on 1 time with her because you are attracted to her it is a date. To call it anything else is a lie and will only tell the girl you aren't interested and will earn you a one way ticket to the... FRIENDZONE! | ||

In terms of the date thing, if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck it probably is a duck. | ||

Answering no when you are attracted to her would just be dishonest about your intentions, while at the same time it isn't really necessarily a date. I would just say "I'm enjoying spending time with you and getting to know you. Does that make it a date?" Basically if she wants to put a label on it, let her define the bounds. Then respond honestly. Really though, if she's asking this question, then she probably wants to hear yes. | ||

You lost her to the first alpha male who is good enough of a man to get it. You will just have to look for a lesser maintenance woman. | ||

It's just not as hard and concrete as some people think. But it is inescapable for many men who don't accept it and pre-empt it. | ||

If they are not interested in you would you prefer they treat you like shit or would you prefer them being nice to you (= OMG I GOT FRIENDZONED). | ||

Distinct from having friends of the opposite gender per se, because there was at one point additional chemistry that never developed further. | ||

For some people, I feel the phrase should be, "If it walks like a shwartle, talks like a shwartle, it's probably a shwartle!" Point being, they have no idea wtf a date looks/feels/sounds like. Hell, I've been on a few dozen and even I'm confused half the time. | ||

@saltywet, chin up son! Post-breakup is always tough, even if the girl has become a nightmare for me the memories of the good times will always be flowing around. You seem to be doing well as it is, but just an additional supportive message. | ||
