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. |

Two things work wonders when talking to women. You either be interesting in what you say or funny, and whenever you aren't just be normal. That statement isn't interesting or funny, it's just random childish crap people say to women when they don't know how to relate to them. Sorry if that's too blunt, gotta accept it how it is. The vast majority of women want men to be firm and decisive, and that kind of joke is something you do not say after kindergarten.

You can't fail at a movie, it's essentially being alone, you sit in the dark with your attention focused on something other than her. Pay for shit if you want to look good, show up on time and looking presentable, try and have a good opinion about it afterwards but basically you won't be interacting with her at all, especially given that she's a complete stranger. Also don't go on movie dates early in a relationship.

If she wants to go see movies that's the kind of date she wants. You shouldn't be concerned, especially when she chose it.

I'm dating a girl for a couple of weeks now, we had a few beers and talked a lot. I really like her, keep thinking about her basically every time and for now I think I made all the right moves. I've been single for 6 years almost (I'm 28) after my last relationship that was a disaster.
The problem is that after that relationship I have developed a kind of fear and insecurity sexually speaking that kept me from dating other girls. But this girl is really attracting me and I'm pretty confident I can overcome my damn insecurities.
So here is my plan: today I'll invite her to dinner with me, and then cinema or maybe a walk or a beer somewhere I don't know I will improvise on this. Then I want to try to kiss her. God I have to do it. Now or never!!!
Possible bad scenarios:
1) Today she's already busy. Solution: I'll ask her for tomorrow and so on..
2) I will not have the balls to kiss her. Solution: Fuck me I'm a coward and I ruined my best chance
3) She'll reject me. Solution: God hates me.
Now it's time to keep myself calm, collect my energies and think positive that life is good. GL HF to me. 2) It's not necessarily your best chance. I mean, if she keeps going on dates with you, she most probably liked what she experienced with you so far, and I think a date going well but not ending it with a kiss is still better, than a date going bad and still going for it. Your plan sounds romantic enough, so I can see why you want to go for it, but I'm pretty sure she'll give you other chances in case you can't muster up the courage (or the situation just doesn't come). Anyway, keep us updated, I need the positive stories to boost my own confidence!  Also, shouldn't girls suggest in one way or another that you should, or at least can kiss them? A look, a touch, anything that just signals "NOW!" to you.
So here is my update guys: I invited her for a dinner out but she told me it was her mother birthday (turned out it was the truth at least). BUT, she proposed for a beer before the dinner that I eagerly accepted :D The date went well as we laughed and talked a lot, sincerely I was hoping to make a step further but it's ok, I'll wait 
Regarding the fact that girls should suggest that you can kiss her is totally right, but in my personal case I need to gain some confidence and start to think that I can be the one who is proactive, the one who tries to conquer a woman and not someone who just wait and hopes she will do the first move as I always did, I'm learning that life is too short to sit and wait.
Of course I don't want to grab her at a random moment and trying to kiss her, but maybe at the end on the way home or if we go for a walk and I find the right moment, I don't know. I just spent my whole life waiting or worst evading girls because I'm scared and now I'm tired, too many years passed by this way.

Good luck getting italian girls if you aren't absolutely obnoxious about getting physical and going forward. I truly mean it, good luck.

As long as you aren't Italian-looking it is like playing with the net down in my experience. Back when I did an exchange to Italy 50% of the Danes came home with new girlfriends, of these 25% married.

The question, Ghostcom, is whether or not they treated them like pieces of meat? Somehow I'm guessing not.

Girls will tell you if its OK to kiss them by either kissing you back if she wants to kiss you, or turning her cheek if she doesn't.
Never in any circumstances ask her for permission to kiss her, that is a huge turn off. I did that once as a young whipper snapper, and that banished me immediately to the friendzone

It works sometimes if they really want it and you're just like
"i'm gonna kiss you now" then do it before she can respond lolol.

I think it's fun that I give basic advice, backed up by experience to a guy who is having troubles with italian girls (who are raised in a strong catholic environment that condemns sexuality and thus are really, really hard to deal with) and I get insults in return.
Fact is you guys criticizing, pointing fingers, judging and putting a lot of stuff in broad categories don't really have the maturity to understand reality might work differently from what you experienced. Shitting on somebody's else point of view without any logic or evidence backing it up is a big sign of immaturity. That's fine, you can have it for yourself if you don't want to grow up. But at least remember this thread is to help guys who have troubles and many of them suffer because of it. If you have time to waste laying mediocre and wrong judgements on other people you could use it better by contributing to the discussion.

Nope, unless you explicitly ask them, it's rape.
