I agree with the OP entirely. I'd also like to say that his differs from my thread in that I am talking about combatting a very specific way some guys act PRIOR to actually being in a relationship. I'm glad this thread picks up where the relationships begins. I would also say that a...

Thanks for reading the OP, and for commenting. While the "rules" are cheesy, I myself found them very necessary for understanding exactly what the abstract advice "be yourself" actually meant, and how it could be achieved. In fact, in the logic I used then, being the doormat "nice guy" would...

I realised how much work I still have left to do, and so my forum replies are going to be far and few between for the next few days. It seems to me that the logic behind the criticism of my OP is (very snarky most of the time): You are giving a "method". I do not like that you would assume a...

If I may contribute something largely out of ignorance, I would say that this situation is a great one to be in, but something that is largely uncommon, or happens by chance. I could stipulate that your friendship had evolved into a real friendship (not the "friendship" that is by and large the...

I don't mean to be a nitpicker, but I need to point out one quick thing. Would you have liked a guy BEFORE he was your boyfriend if he was constantly emotional and obsessed? Because as I said at the end of the OP (albeit not clearly!) is that the "rules of engagement" change when actually in...

Not sure what that is... (or want to know!) EDIT: I googled it. No, I'm not apart of the seduction society. From what I can see they're all about sex and one night stands. It's not really my thing. I'm really happy with my girl!

I think it's unfair to say she "craves attention", but I know what you mean. I think this is a tough situation. Really, with the OP advice, I'd say that you just need to treat her like your male buddy. Would you be annoyed, apathetic etc if your mate just turned away from your conversation...

You clicked, didn't read properly, and then open fired. MUST be my fault. This is my "bitchy comment" (I'm learning from the best, after all). You were never even bothered to read any of the post properly so it doesn't surprise me that you can't be bothered to make a rebuttal (or even have...

Thank you for saying what I did not have the eloquence to! Your last point is something I would like to add to the OP, for the sake of clarity (I tried to ham handedly touch on it with the "tell her you play xbox" reference at the start"). It's exactly that - my GF knows I play video games. She...

Well, I need to stress that I really only flirt with girls when I'm fairly sure I could go out with them (or, 100% wanting to go out with them). I'm not a playa or somebody into one night stands. As such, I find that I usually meet girls in places that I spend a lot of time - university...

I'm updated the TLDR for the sake of more clearly expressing the core of my OP.

Which is pretty much my exact advice.

First up, I'm replying because I see many huge aspersions cast about me that wouldn't have had you read the majority of the OP, or the thread at all. That's not an insult, that's the truth. I totally agree with you. This isn't a "tell her you're rich and bend her mind" piece of advice, this is...

Again, thank you for the thoughtful reply. Essentially, the best way to judge the level of attention would be to treat her just as you would a male buddy. If it's a massive tarantula - go ahead, jump and yell and freak out. But if it's a lady bug and she's freaking out then you can just relax...

My target audience will have read the post and replied with either agreement or disagreement. People have a choice to click the link and comment. I'm not a TV advert. Similarly, I provided working examples for my points, which were designed to help my target audience. I don't understand the...
