Worst advice ever given to you regarding dating/relationships etc?

[child of lileth]

"There's nothing bad that can come from that. Trust me." It turned out worse than anyone thought it could.

"Just ask her out, worst thing is she says no" from a friend about a friend I fell head over MANLY heels for.
I ignored it.
A few weeks later she hooked up with my brother and got into smoking pot.
But that was because I kept on hanging out with her and was about to make an advance when I found out she didn't like me.

And now we are not nearly as close and she has a habit of being really mean to me.

The worst she can do is say no. one of my testicles is still M.I.A.

in all seriousness "just talk to them" is what I consider the worst advice. If I could fucking do that I wouldn't be asking for advice you twat >_>

I much less profanely concur

I'll have to agrue to the contrary, if you don't talk to her, you have killed off infinite possibilities, if you talk to her, you have a better shot of getting with her.

As for the worst she can say is no bit, I strongly disagree with.

"Dude, highschool relationships are totally worth it!"

Not the actually words, but it's been implied before.

And no,I'm not bitter....

'Girls like sensitive guys, be kind and sweet and give them compliments when you first meet them.'

Fast track to rejection 90% of the time.

Why does that have to be the truth? I like being a kind person.

im with you why cant the inherently nice people get some before their like 30 and working the rebounds of girls who were just in relationships with overly aggressive guys D:

OT: saying "stop" will make your tormentors stop. doesnt work, only makes it worse because they know theyre getting to you. (yea, not relationship advice, but shitty advice nonetheless)

 

[LikeTeeth]

"Saying 'c'mon' over and over usually works"

Don't do that. They don't like that.

Not really advice, but I hear a lot of girls talk about their ambitions of marriage. It just...creeps me out. You aren't even in freaking high school yet, and you want to marry your boyfriend? Your goals in life don't involve leaving this freaking town once? Sorry. That's pretty much how I reacted to one of my friends, actually. I spoke of traveling to England for a year or so, just to be away from America. And then to go back to America, and live in Seattle, a city which I absolutely love. And her dreams are going to the local community college, and marrying her boyfriend. (They broke up a month later.)

Incidentally, the same girl would try to get me into really elaborate schemes to tell the boy I liked that I liked him. (Eventually, I pulled him into the hallway and told him flat-out.) She wanted me to write a note one day, then for her to tell him, then for her to suggest it, then for her to tell him via letter. It was so stupid, I couldn't believe that it could ever matter that much.

I have a friend who has planned out her future marriage. She has the perfect ring, dress, venue...

Such a shame she is single, has never had a boyfriend to my knowledge, and is still in her teens.

I felt like throwing up the night she showed me her dream ring and dress online. I mean, what happened to planning out a very special shared day TOGETHER with your intended? What did this chick think, the wedding day was going to be all about her and the guy was there only to make her look even better?

Yeah, OP, bad advice: "yes, I already have my entire wedding planned out, as well as the type of guy I want, the aftershave he wears, and the number of kids I have."

Like, sheesh, don't be controlling or anything...

 

[CMDR Zero C]

Hey, its my discussion topic from that other thread!
Awesome!

But yeah. I made the mistake of taking advice from someone who was recently dumped.
Never do that. The results are bad.

He'll either tell you to be a doormat, give up all hope at love, or be aggressive. Granted the advice may vary but they sink into those 3 basic areas.

Worst Advice: "Just toss her ass, plenty of B****s out there?"

Best advice: Don't take advice from any of your friends. Especially ones you believe to be in a worst relationship status than you are (weather they have some one or not).

P.S. Never try to be something your not!

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Hahaha! yes, I did get bad advice before. "girls love nice, shy, awkward guys." while we make more reliable partners in the long run, in reality they like sexy guys for a good time.

Women are idiots... though not bigger idiots than the asshat that gave me that advice. >.>

 

[dex-dex]

"When in doubt, whip it out!"

...Yeah... Don't take advice from someone who frequents the asshole of the internet.

maybe whipping it out at that wedding may not have been the best move but hey that night was F-U-N!

on topic:
"he barfed on your lap after doing so many shooters just further proves my point that he is so into you!"
i was sleep deprived and had a couple myself and it made sense.
in the end i stole a pair of his pyjama pants and then he came into the place i was taking a nap in and started spooning me saying that i catch vomit like a champ. fun night otherwise.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Well, not exactly advice, per se, but one of my friends(still in High School at the time, working at Subway) did date a pregnant girl once because, and I quote, "Pregnant girls have bigger boobs." I, as well all my other friends, were flabbergasted at his amazing stupidity.

And, just to add insult to injury, guess what? My friend was the 2nd boyfriend this girl had had while pregnant and that isn't including the actual father. Sounds like a real, keeper, eh?

 

[AquaAscension]

I don't believe I've ever gotten really bad relationship advice, and I tend to be the one who gives it.

To stay mildly on topic though, I think the best thing I've discovered is that it's way easier to be honest with a girl about how you feel/what you want in a relationship. Case and point, I have been hanging out with a girl and, after awkwardly kissing, I essentially told her that I had no idea what I was looking for and apologized for the rash action, but tried to explain that it felt the right thing to do. Time will tell if this remains true, but we're pretty good friends now, and I feel comfortable with that.

Actually on topic, I thought of one that has been implied though never explicitly spoken: "No guy wants to be in the friend zone." Yeah, no, sometimes guys just aren't interested in you in the same way you (women) are not interested in us. It happens, it's okay. Let it go.

"Wait till college"

I'm 3 weeks away from graduating and never got into a relationship in my 4 years here.

 

[BonsaiK]

I'm glad no-one in this thread so far has said "that stupid advice I got from BonsaiK".

Worst advice I've ever gotten is people telling me to have kids with a girl (who was going to break up with me because of my refusal to breed) because "kids are so adorable". Fortunately I was smart enough to not take up that advice.

 

[PHOENIXRIDER57]

I asked my friend if I should dump my gf cause we were going through a bad time and he said,"just ask her one question and based on the answer, you either stay or leave." I didn't do it. He's never broken up with a girl so what does he know bout dumping somebody?

 

[Danglybits]

"Date as many girls as you can so when you finally date one that you like you know what to do. Even date ugly girls or girls that you hate but date alot and dump 'em quick"

Yay for drunken tools at parties, preaching stentorian from their place slumped on the couch, with a beer half spilled on their face.

On the plus side, I doubt any one took him seriously. "Follow my advice and you can be just like me!!"

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

"Never ask a girl about her day"
My friend is a total asshole for telling me that, needless to say i didnt follow this advice.

 

[Captain Pancake]

"Compliment her through the teeth". Just made me look needy. FYI, anybody who doles out relationship advice is just trying to make things harder for you.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

"It's ok to date ugly chicks, because they are easy to get and you become more experienced". Ugh! What is this? World of Warcraft? Do we get XP with every girl? DO I LEVEL UP OR SOMETHING?

Oh and there is one particular phrase that makes me want to skull fuck a puppy: "Wait until you are married". *explodes into a nuclear explosion emerging as Satan and destroys the earth*
(not that anyone ever advised me to do so, my parents have functional brains)

 

[kurupt87]

"Have a couple more drinks then go over and flirt with her." Woo yeah, that was fun. I'm not entirely sure what I said or thought flirting consisted of at the time, but err yeah, it didn't go so well.

I have pulled when completely hammered though; but I always wonder what I said that worked when I wake up in a strange bedroom.
