Yup. But that can also back fire if its the. "Well i like you, but you never made a move" scenario. Those are deliciously absurd.Duskwaith said:Amen to you both.KdS_22 said:I totally agree with this. There is a girl that I've recently become interested in, and we have hung out several times.

Nothing beats her just turning round and saying-"yeah i feel this way etc." makes it so much easier and i always seem to get on better with girls like that.
Me neither, because of my post 3 above this one.Davey Woo said:I haven't had one! Yay me!
No. But thats the thing. Some people are just incredibly illogical. Infact every one is when it comes to dating. Case in point:Strangerman518 said:I was in a good relationship for 4 years until just a couple months ago. She broke up with me and within a week she was chatting up older guys online. She recently went on a date with a guy who is pretty much exactly like me only taller. I had been nothing but helpful and supportive of her. Still am too. She still asks me for advice with dating.
Does anyone else find any logic in this?
Hey, neither have I. But's that life. One day we'll find someone. As for me, the main reason is my shyness. That and my awesome timing. The few times I was able to work up the courage to ask a girl I liked out, someone else had asked her out before I did.TheNumber1Zero said:I've never been in a relationship
Would you count that as funny, bad, or dull?
all of the above in small amounts. I have never been in a relationship other than that one failure i posted, and i dont count that it was so bad. It happens, I know a lot of friends who havent been in relationships either and we're all in college.Shock and Awe said:All of the above.TheNumber1Zero said:I've never been in a relationship

Give another vote to that.manythings said:Glad to hear I'm not wholly deranged. Good luck with your future, dispensing with all that initial nonsense removes the most insane kinds of drama you can encounter. Not all drama but two people together aren't going to always be on the same page.KdS_22 said:I totally agree with this.

You sound remarkably like a friend I know, and if you are him, you will know who I am.RareDevil said:No. But thats the thing. Some people are just incredibly illogical.

I have had i believe only three real girl friends. This meaning some one i asked to "go steady with me" and not just "Out to the malt shop so she can wear my letterman jacket and we can all listen to 50's tunes and look at cars". By which i mean of course, three girls i committed myself into a relationship with, instead of just spent time having meaningless (but fun) sex. Well four if you count the shortest relationship i have ever had, but i dont.
Any way. Of these Three girls (four for the sake of this stat) two wont talk to me even tho we broke up on even terms, and two still ask me for dating advice, and come to me as some sort of mystic guru of love and relationships. And with my track record of getting shot down, regected, bumbling over my feet, acting too cool for school, and basically misreading alot of girls who were into me, you must figure i'm like Casanova (right?). Wrong. Well they do any way.
Of the girls that i have had (ahem) carnal knowledge, about half still come to me for relationship advice. Of the girls that i have really really liked and professed my interest (only to be shot down, put in the friend category, or have some weird "i like you, you like me but im in a committed relationship scenario") about 8 still come to me for relationship advice. That is eight out of ten folks. I obviously don't have my shit together in the department but they come to me for advice. Bat shit loco is what that is.
Now add this on top of my God Sister, God Mom, Dad, Mom, Brother, Best Friend, Some Rotc cadet, and other friends who come to me for relationship advice, you would think that i'd be holding down at least 5 working relationships, or be some sort of amazing (and practical) Dr. Phil type who dispensed wisdom like a golden goose lays 24 carat eggs.
