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. | ||

It lasted for little over 2yrs and ended about 1.5yrs ago and I haven't had any real luck with girls since then, been on 2 dates with girls I met through work/other friends but nothing came of it. Had a 1night stand with a girl I'm friends with but thats it. Love to meet a girl but I don't frequent bars or anything and I don't have alot of shots at meeting new people. I'm not worried about keeping a conversation going or trying to act like anyone I'm not, I'm fairly confident in myself and pretty laid back and chill. Just never done anything in a club, bar, concert place before and don't know how I should best go about it tomorrow for hopefully a good result lol. Just smile alot. not like a shit eating grin, more like a confident smirk. It helps if you have dimples too. girls hella love that. theyre always poking my dimples. But a simple smile and "hi, how are you?" is always a tried and true approach. You really have to be confident with it. Because youre gonna be at a music event, it should be easy because youre all there for one reason, the show, which means you most likely have something already in common. just be hella real. if its your first show, just ask her, what other shows you should go to or bands you should look out for. all that kind of shit. dont try to make future plans with her, unless she gives you that kind of opening, but you should try to get atleast her number. or try to hint it out that youd like to talk to her again sometime.confidence though. thats the key! | ||

There was really no point in denying it or anything. She was pretty straightforward with it, which I appreciated, because most girls I've ever encountered all led me on some wild goose chase. She said she wasn't looking for a relationship and didn't see me in that way. Which is what I expected personally, especially since she's going through a really busy time in her life (academically). I took it in good stride, laughed it off and told her not to be ashamed/feel awkward in what she decided (she had her head down and basically mumbled her response). I joked around for a bit to make her feel less awkward, and then we parted ways. I don't know how she's going to react since we're in the same club, but I know I'm going to about business as usual. I'd like to think I responded in the best possible manner, although it'll sting for a few days. But I'm a bit confused on one matter. One of my female friends told me to keep her around, because she might change her mind once she knows me better (we've gotten to know each other for almost two months now). One of my best friends told me to cut all connections and find someone else. I think both have valid points; this girl is really caring, sweet and fun to be around, but at the same time, I'm not going to center my life around her; I'm going to go at my own pace and if another girl comes around, I'll try my luck again. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if my female friend's advice has any truth to it at all. i would just keep it chill. what i mean by that is, be friends. not like talk every moment of the days with her. but just hit her up with a text like "whenever you have some free time, you down to go do (random event)?" nothing romantic and make sure its gonna be something to take her mind of whatever is biding her time so much. dont expect anything and definitely dont push any emotions into it. dont try to hold her hand or all that. end the day with hugs not kisses. do stuff like that with her every once and a while and she will definitely keep you in mind when shes ready for something. but dont stop dating yourself. keep your options open, remember shes just a friend you have an interest in.and if she ever brings up you dating, just brush it off with a "yeah kinda been chilling with this one girl but its nothing to us yet." if shes like any girl and you did your job of still remaining interested in her but not pressing the issue, she will get a slight jealousy which all girls do and thus keep you in the picture. slowly drop ship harass her and she'll be yours ![]() | ||

Been with her for almost 5 years now. Sex has always been great and I can barely keep up with her (she'll want it like 2 times a day everyday when we can see each other). She seems to be really happy though. Now for the question. Though I don't know much about it, I've been reading and watching stuff on anal play for the last few months and I've brought it up jokingly to her. She seems to not like the idea but I've asked her if its on her "never will I ever" list of things she will never do and she said no. Now a few months have passed and I'm not sure if I should bring it up again. Not really sure on my next course of action. Any advice? fuck it. butt sex aint that cool. hahaha | ||

You start off and the girl is already known to sleep around, so right there it's not looking good for anything meaningful. And that's not me being a sexist, guys who sleep around may not necessarily have that goal of an actual solid long term relationship. I'm saying that the starting point is shallow and perhaps at least in many case it's also representative of what the person is expecting out of life at that moment. Not sticking too closely to the apartment analogy, sure there's a chance you'll find a respectable girl by using the shotgun technique and one nighters, but from my admittedly limited experience, the quality ladies, without being prudes, have a tendency of being difficult because they're worth the work and they know it. That being said I'm not judging people who have 1nighters for fun, if they're not looking for long-term, that's fine. But if you limit your "shopping around for personalities" to girls who'll sleep with you, maybe you're missing out. Then again it's possible I'm only saying that because I've been failing at getting close to this one girl =(. Them smart ladies don't necessarily fall for the same BS that works on random club bimbos. =((( you definitely cant count out a girl who sleeps around out because there are a lot of girls who want to be in a relationship who just so happen to like sex. of course theres guys out there who can exploit that by talking to them and telling them all the shit they wanna hear and they just get taken advantage of. if you get to know some maybe theyre right for you? just cause a girl isnt giving it up doesnt mean shes the right girl for you or the right girl for any guy for that matter. maybe they just suck too. if youre looking for a meaningful relationship just keep up with getting to know a girl. | ||

Danced with 2 girls but they left halfway through the show before I could get a number and I think one alrdy had a bf so one of them was a no-go. Oh well, I'll keep at it, I'm way too shy, need some practice. | ||

As long as you're enjoying yourself, experiencing new things, and learning, the results will come with time. This is as true for social skills as it is for Brood War. | ||

Maybe it's because i'm subconciously thinking that the pasture is greener on the other side? Maybe it's because i'm almost 18 and have never had a serious relationship or even love life. It's not that I haven't had the chance, but for various reasons it hasn't worked out. Has anyone else suffered from this...thing? I'm sure it's not super uncommon, but if any of you sage wizards have advice, i'm interested in hearing it. I often hit the "2 girls which one do i go with" crossroads, but I feel as though I do it to myself subconsciously just so I have an excuse when neither works out... Beats me! lol | ||

Don't stress on things too much, you'll have plenty of time for that later. When the perfect girl comes along you'll know what to do and things will work out. i'm not stressing out, it just annoys me lol. i didn't mean to come across as thirsty | ||

I'm sure it's not super uncommon, but if any of you sage wizards have advice, i'm interested in hearing it. You need to answer for yourself two key questions before anyone can figure out where you're at: Why do you want a relationship? Why do you feel "bleh" when you make progress with a girl? (Is it because you realize she doesn't live up to what you expected beforehand? Is it because you don't enjoy committment? Is it because you lose interest and develop an interest in someone else?)

Beats me! lol Go for both. If it works out with both you have options, if it works out with one but not the other then it didn't hurt, if it works out with neither it didn't matter anyway. | ||

There's no shame on feeling good with yourself, I just came out from a relationship, it was cool and everything but I wasn't the happiest. Now, I remember the great feeling of being single again. Remember, don't try hard to get into a relationship, it'll all come natural, but of course you have to keep your eyes open and seize the moments! All my relationships have come out from taking a lil' step and talking to that girl, although at firs I'd thought it'd be embarrasing. I love the following quote, 'cuz its so true: You are the maker of your own reality... STAY HUNGRY! lol | ||

I think most girls fall into the second category, and that includes your gf and my gf. The only real way to get them to try it is to have it known as something you REALLY want to do and she consents to it on your birthday or something, but I wouldn't push it in reality. I have a friend who tried it, she said that not only was it not that great, its built up to be a lot more than it really is. It's pretty shit apparently, I bring it up jokingly with my gf, especially because the prep needed for it, the supplies, and the cons of doing it are pretty heavy compared to the pros of sticking it up the butt. | ||

Normally a girl will tend to not do those kinds of kinky things if they feel you will judge them for it. As long as you make the girl feel comfortable and have them know that there is no mental judgement placed on them, girls are down for some freaky things. | ||

I need some ways to approach a girl comfortably without being weird or strange. I find this pretty difficult. Any ideas? | ||

Friendzoned means you try and make your move on a girl, she stops you and says she wants to just be friends aka nothing more. Another word for rejection Just be yourself. Some girls will like it, some will not. The trick is to recognize which ones like you for you, and pursue those. If talking to girls in general is the problem, I would recommend setting a goal to talk to as many girls a day as you set out to, with no goal in mind other then to make them laugh. Don't try and get their number, don't make a move. Just think of this girl is another stranger passing by. Make her laugh. If she gets mad or doesn't laugh, you were just trying to make someone elses day better, no harm no foul. Soon, you will find that talking to ladies will become easier as your social skills develop with them. Rule of thumb is always look to have fun. Balance having fun with making sure everyone around you is happy. Find the sweet spot and you will be able to talk to any girl you want without making them feel weird of strange. Normally whatever emotions you carry are what the girls pick up on. So if you get into a fun mood, your sharing fun and happiness with a lady, which everybody enjoys. | ||
