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.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I read through all of it, and it made me so grateful once again that I found this gem of a community, which seems to be the only place on the internet where you can actually have mature, constructive and helpful discussions, be it about games, personal issues or just anything else. Thanks!

Back to my problem: We spent a lot of time together this weekend, first we went on a road trip where I drove for nine hours with her sitting next to me and talking to me, and then yesterday I said that I would watch some series in the library to which she replied I should hang out in her dorm instead, so after doing this we watched a movie and had dinner together afterwards. I feel that during the movie, which we watched on her bed, sitting next to each other, I should have made a move, but I turned out to be a little coward again (she didn't really give me an opening, but I think that's just a bad excuse on my side). Today I did not see or talk to her at all and it felt woeful and sad, so I will definitely have to make a move, just to have certainty and think of something else again, even if I fail and get hurt. Obviously I will not go yolo-mode now, I rather hope that I can set up another intimate situation soon enough and then just go for it. Like my previous poster said, set my mind to 0% in that situation. I will keep you updated once I know how she feels, and if anyone has anything useful to contribute, feel free to do that!


You've got to remember, the longer you leave it the more likely she is to think you arent in to her, and will move on. Esp if you were on a bed watching a movie with her. She will now be thinking you aren't interested in her, as any interested man should have made a move. You could still have a shot though all girls are different, the longer you leave it the worse your chances.


I know, and it's really bugging me out. I tend to overthink things like this, a bad habit I have to get rid of.

I am exactly the same. About 6 years ago I had a similar thing happening, in the end I never made a move and I was OBSESSED with her. I felt like an idiot and learnt a much needed lesson. In my opinion you need to :

Honestly assess your chances and make a move quick if you think you have any chance.

OR

Cut your losses and move on.

I've been a lurker on TL for quite some time, at least 4+ years. I have never posted before or even signed in to this account beyond when I created it. I had to even go through resetting my password because I didn't know what it was.

I am finally posting because I wanted to let you know it hurt my soul to read that.

You are able to spend many hours alone with this girl. You were in her dorm. You were on her bed with her. You didn't feel confident enough to make a move. That hurt me man, it hurt me deep.

Take confidence in this next time you are alone with her: You made a pretty lazy and apathetic lurker figure out his password and post for the first time because he was so pained by your lack of confidence in a very secure situation. I'm no guru on this subject, in fact, I'm pretty awful at reading signs from girls as well, but even I would have had confidence in that situation(j/k I am a scaredy-cat, but seriously, I would have at least said something). On that note, fuck confidence man, just do it.

As far you thinking you're friendzoned, nothing you have posted makes me feel like you've been friendzoned, other than your sentence stating you're in it... And even if she ends up saying she doesn't want a relationship because she is going back to Sweden, it won't make things awkward. Things will be awkward only if you let them be awkward. I feel like people overestimate the price of "failure" when trying to turn a friend into a boy/girlfriend. In every experience I have had, and all the experiences the people I know have had, you just keep being normal friends afterwards.

Another thing, since I seem to be in the mood to type; Openings don't exist. Not in my experience at least. If you're not feeling confident then even the most obvious 'opening' will totally go over your head or you will hesitate too long and it will pass. If you are looking for an opening then think of every time you're alone with her to be an opening, bar some solemn atmosphere.


Anyway, I'll probably go back to being a lurker now(Or maybe this is a new beginning?), but before I do:

You say this now. Wait until you have some really bad pizza.


And you find out that pizza is batshit insane and shows its love for you by sleeping in your bed when you're not there and then banging your friends because you won't pay attention to her. (my best friend ordered a really crazy pizza)
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Small things can make such a difference...

I asked a girl today if she'd like to go for a coffee later, she declined, no time.
This would be the point at which I would feel annoyingly ambivalent, fear she's making excuses etc. Instead she offered an alternative date, and thus I don't have to feel like crap for the rest of the day.

Hold me TL, hold me.

Day numero dos.
Awkward as hell and im hoping i will be over her soon. Definitely hope im over her before Friday so I can shave my break up beard before movember.
But even if I don't ill just shave when I do and then particiipate for the rest of november. What do you guys do when you acquire single status. My "thing" wasn't even that big of a deal but I still feel like shit about it. Hell I'm listening to the girl next door by the hold up on repeat and Ms. Communication by knowmads.
Jesus my week has sucked.

Ok, after reading this thread for quite a while I decided to share my own story from last weekend:

I just started my studies a month ago but since the first day there was this one girl which seems like the pure 10 to me. So over the last month we worked together here and there through programming classes(me being lucky with the groups, we both got into the same). Last weekend we had party for the whole university and in the end we talked a bit again and the party was over, so I asked in which direction she wants to go (the university seems to be between both our apartments) and she wanted to go along with me towards my home. So far so good but literally 50m in front of my house we say goodbye and i let her walk the whole way back. I guess i was satisfied with spending some time with her, but the next morning I realized how stupid this was.

Since then i asked myself how to fix this shit and today I called her (she gave me her number before we said goodbye) and i apologized because she had to walk twice the distance. She insisted it was fun for her and that it wasnt really a problem. From here on I asked her if she wants to have a drink somewhere last night but she told me that a friend of hers is staying at her apartment.

So right now i am asking myself whether or not to see it as an indicator that she likes me or that she really didnt mind he walk ( which i hardly believe). Chase or let her go? Im also out of my university the next few days for work so i wont see her until monday next week because another friend only said to let it go for some time.

P.S. everything written on my tablet, there could be a few mistakes :D

Whatever the indicator is go for it. She either likes you, or likes long walks, I don't see the problem either way haha.

Sometimes people have an actual reason they can't go out with you (like a friend is at their house). You had the courage to ask once, just ask again next time you see here only don't put a date on it so you'll get a straight answer either way.

How do you gently reject a girl that you are not interested in? There's this girl whose been texting me almost everyday for the past several days and I am not interested in her romantically. I don't want to text her back with conversation killers (i.e one word texts like "ok") because I don't want to be rude or hurt her feelings so I've been texting her cheerfully. So what am I supposed to do? Wait until she asks me out for dinner/lunch, say no, and hope she gets the message?

Not bad. It's just a numbers game like anything else. Persistence. I bomb out a lot but ask and hang out a lot with girls and sometimes sparks fly.

Honesty is the best policy. Just tell her how you feel about her in plain words, no games.

She may have a bad reaction... that is to be expected. Later when she is thinking more clearly she will appreciate your honesty. I so wish the women I dated in the past had just honestly told me what they felt about me instead of leading me on or ignoring me. It comes with maturity and I dated some immature girls.

BTW, show her some respect and tell it to her face. Even calling is better than texts. So much is lost with body language and tone of voice in todays tech world.

So what am I supposed to do? Wait until she asks me out for dinner/lunch, say no, and hope she gets the message?


Honesty is the best policy. Just tell her how you feel about her in plain words, no games.

She may have a bad reaction... that is to be expected. Later when she is thinking more clearly she will appreciate your honesty. I so wish the women I dated in the past had just honestly told me what they felt about me instead of leading me on or ignoring me. It comes with maturity and I dated some immature girls.

BTW, show her some respect and tell it to her face. Even calling is better than texts. So much is lost with body language and tone of voice in todays tech world.


But when she texts she's just asking me random questions about the day, thanksgiving break plans, etc. Isn't suddenly texting (or saying) "hey I don't really like you romantically so I don't want you to misunderstand our relationship" just plain mean? And there actually isn't anything go on between us, I've just met her several times before and she's been texting me since then so we are nothing more than just acquaintance/friends at this point anyway.

Might be a little weird from him if they never had a conversation about those things. Maybe try to speak about other girls in front of her. She might realize the diffrence, or not.

You will have to use your judgement on whether you think she is really interested in you in a romantic sense. It can sometimes be hard to tell because some ladies are friendly with everyone and it their intentions can be misunderstood. Even harder to tell over text and phone because you can't read body language.

One way you might be able to find out is... say you are going out somewhere with a mixed group to a bar, party, whatever. Invite her to the group and make it clear there will be other people there. If she seems disappointed that it is not just the two of you, then thats a pretty clear sign. If she accepts... maybe you can introduce her to one of your friends.

Just respond to her texts normally, don't feign interest and don't lead her on. If she asks you out then you tell her honestly what you feel. If however she is the one always initiating conversation and you aren't responding enthusiastically each time she will most likely understand that you aren't that interested. You said it's only been a couple days so just give it a little longer.

Do I really have to explain this to you?

Sex is like pizza, even bad pizza is still pretty good and certainly better than no pizza at all.

You say this now. Wait until you have some really bad pizza.


Please do elaborate.

Just friendzone her the same way any girl has friendzoned you in the past. It's a two way street.
