Thanks for telling me not to take advice here. I have to say, were I in a lot of people's situations I wouldn't take the people's advice. That said, you know the situation best, and should decide for yourself.

I think you need better screening skills as to whose advice to listen to. Maybe TL should implement some kind of icon system or "baller rating" for those members who have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have the skills necessary to give advice.

For example, have you seen iNcontrol's girlfriend? 10/10 right? And she posts on TL. Obviously this man knows what he is talking about.

On the other hand, SuP3rPhR3Ak2000's advice may not have that same type of rating.

I nominate Kennigit to draw up a list of worth advice givers, because I am just an ideas man. Also, I gotta go because my girl is making pancakes in the shape of dinosaurs for me. No lie.

I really wouldn't blame anyone for giving you bad advice. Chances are you never had a chance to begin with. There is no strategy guide to get THIS particular girl to like you, there are only strategies that will get **A** girl to like you.

If you asked anyone that's into "gaming" or whatever, they would probably say what I just said. Stop getting hung up on one girl. If you messed up, you can't go back and fix it, you can only come back 1 year later when she's forgotten who you are and try again.

Every girl is different, and while there are things you can do to get girls in general, they aren't guaranteed to work on everyone.

you had already failed once you made the blog so what are you saying? My TL advice was that you already failed.. I said that you had made the mistake and you should have made her add you.. soo there you have it.. you still don know why you failed?

Just tell her to come make blogs on teamliquid about her boy problems. That'll fix everything. I guarantee it.

Show her all these threads and she will either fall for you or think you are lame.

It doesn't look like you have a shot anyway so take a chance!

The graph might be accurate, I didn't read the previous blog. Randomly switching to "jerkass" mode though is obviously stupid. Like, the relationship has already been established in one way or another, and then you just start ignoring her and acting aloof and that's magically going to make her like you more?

No. That possibly works with randoms you just met, used to all the guys simpering over them with you being the breath of fresh air. But, if you've been "friend zoned" (lol), and then you just go all awkward and dickish on her, she thinks "what a shitty friend" and that's done. Or, if she's into you, and then you just go all awkward and dickish on her, she thinks "well boy I fucked up there" and that's done.

I'm glad you came to the right conclusion, though, about what to take from this.

The advice people give is probably too general anyway.

I remember getting advice from people just recently on my own girlfriend, but I decided to consult someone closer to me with a bit more wisdom. And even in the end, I just made my own decision.

I think asking for advice is fine on TL, there shouldn't be any reason to discourage anyone from doing that. You just need to discourage people from just following the advice no questions asked. Advice I think is good for guidance and perhaps finding something you may have never thought of, but in the end, it should still be your decision. And even if what people tell you seems off, you don't go blaming people for it, just learn from the mistakes you made anyway and move on. In a strange way, bad advice could give you a good learning experience just as much as good advice.

I'd blame the "jokinggggg" and "calm down" comments on this one, not TL.

haha wow. this blog is highly amusing. baller's graph sums it up in the clearest way possible.

jjun212 it's a letdown you're here since 2004 and now come off like a butthurt little wimp blaming tl for his insecurity. if you don't have it in you to follow up on general advice with common sense and a feeling for specific situations don't do it and stop making yourself look like an idiot.

hahaha I completely agree that most of the advice on TL.net about romance is terrible. Actually the advice here on just about any subject other than brood war strategy is iffy at best.
