[QUOTE=grux12;990579523]For instance, I've learned not to do the ol' "oh-I'm-sorry-I-just-did-that-to-you-I-thought-you-were-my-girlfriend-please-don't-call-the-cops" trick. I've also learned that tampons are NOT, contrary to popular belief, used to stop nosebleeds and you should NEVER try to use it as such.
loljk I have 8 sisters, I knew what a tampon was for at age 5. On a slightly related note, giving chocolate to a girl when her "aunt Flo" is visiting often wins you points in her book.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=RollTideNation;990580173]Ah, I see... You have quite a mother. Protein is the devil and you are fat. Hm...
I know about striking out. I'm not that experienced in the field but the last couple of times have crashed and burned. Still like this one girl but she has a bf. Seems to be hitting on me so I just sit there like wtf.
Like bogui said, go on. Stories and vids or it didn't happen.[/QUOTE]
I have a wonderful striking out story. I actually typed it up for an essay competition a few years ago:
[quote=from grux's diary, march 2010]
So tonight, ***** decided it was a good time for me to have dinner with her parents; she also thought it was a good idea to tell me this twenty minutes after I'd popped 600 mg caffeine to go weightlifting.
So, after I went over to their house and introductions and pleasantries were exchanged, we left to go eat. Please, I begged. Anything but Chinese food!(you'll see why in just a second).
"So where are we going?" I asked, hoping against hope, knowing her parents love oriental food. You see, ever since I tried to use chop sticks at a buffet a couple of years ago, I've always made a ridiculous spectacle of myself at Chinese restaurants. I always manage to spill soy sauce in my lap or get chicken stuck in my teeth. ***** loves it, but I hate it.
"Fong's!" Yeah. Chinese.
So we got in, ordered the food, and made small talk. They asked how school was going, what my plans were for the future, (I felt I was on pretty safe ground here, because I plan on becoming a doctor of emergency medicine), and what I'm doing right now for employment (also safe ground, because how many freshman are allowed to TA [teaching assistant] for a professor? We're the few and the proud). Enough was finally said about me, so I asked about them. Her dad's a consultant and marketing director, and her mom's a stay-at-home mom.
By this time, our food had arrived; I had tried to avoid ordering anything with sauce or chicken, but that's almost impossible with Chinese. Her family also loves to share plates across the table, so I was forced to partake of the rice and kung-pow chicken. Right about the time I was sticking a seemingly innocent pepper into my mouth did I think to myself, this is actually going pretty well.
That's when it all went straight to Hell.
Now, I can handle most spicy food. I mean, in Puerto Rico, I accidentally wiped my eye with a hand that had just held a habanero pepper. My eye swelled shut and was red and puffy, but I carried on. I ate that habanero like a champ.
But this... This thing almost killed me! Eyes watering, I desperately looked for some venue of escape. I considered excusing myself to go to the bathroom, but I didn't trust myself to speak. So I picked up my napkin, screwed up my face, and "sneezed" the pepper right into the napkin. Her and her parents were deep in conversation about something or other, so ***** just muttered a quick "bless you" and no one paid me any attention.
Thinking the disaster was averted and that the evening could only go uphill from there, I got cocky: I ate a piece of chicken. Well, since it never made it to my mouth, I guess I didn't actually eat it; the piece of chicken in question fell right into my lap. I looked around quickly to see if anyone had noticed; again, it seemed like I had gotten lucky. I quickly placed the chicken in my napkin with my discarded pepper. I then realized I had been asked a question. I distractedly gave an answer, and they seemed appeased.
The chicken falling in my lap had been a blessing in disguise: it appeared my zipper was undone. A quick flick of the wrist and all was well! We finished dinner, I made some witty comments, and we all stood up to leave. As I stood up, the dishes fell off the table. Turns out, I had caught the table cloth in my zipper when I had zipped up my fly.
Everyone clapped, of course. I took a bow, as is expected, and tried not to die. ***** was trying so hard not to laugh, and her parents were absolutely mortified. Thankfully, a bunch of the cooks came over and helped clean up the small disaster I had created. Not a word was said in the car on the ride back to her place, and I chewed myself out on the way back to mine.
All in all, I think I made a good first impression.

Hey guys,
gotta problem and was wondering if ya'll could help. I know it's long, but my first girlfriend just broke up with me and I could really use some help. Here goes:
8 months ago, I joined a new school. One of the girls in my grade started inviting me to a lot of social events and stuff and hanging around me. After 3 months of getting to know her, i told her i had feelings for her, and she said she had feelings for me too. This was back in June. We entered into a relationship and things were going perfectly. She loved me, her family and friends all loved me, and everyone thought we were a perfect couple. She was my first girlfriend, and the first girl i ever had true feelings for. Well, fast forward to Thanksgiving week. We were at a restaurant, and she suddenly told me outta the blue that "I think you're a great guy, and you're definitely the best guy friend i've ever had. I've kinda lost feelings for you though, and I think we should just be friends from now on. Please know it's not your fault and it's not because of anything you've done. You've been awesome. My feelings have just changed and i'm not sure why".
I went home that night in a daze. I couldn't understand what had happened. JUST THE WEEK BEFORE, she had been telling me how much she liked me and how she was so happy i was her boyfriend. Things had been going perfectly. Then, outta nowhere, she lost feelings for me??? It doesn't make sense. She said I didn't do anything, but i MUST have done SOMETHING. Her feelings couldn't just 'change' like that. The past two weeks have been hell. I've lost 5 pounds, felt sick to my stomach, and dreamed about her every night. Going to school is miserable. Every time i see her i get a lump in my throat and heavy feeling in my chest. I know i need to move on with life and get over it, but I'm struggling.
So my questions are:
1. Should i try and be friends? Seeing her at school hurts so bad, and we haven't really said anything other than 'hi' since the breakup. I'm worried that if i try and be friends with her it's going to make the 'healing' process take longer.
2. Do ya'll really think her feelings just 'changed'? I can't help but think i did something.
3. For you brahs who have been through breakups, how long did it take you to get over it?

First off, I'm very sorry to hear about that. Situations like these are very tough but the way you react to them determines your character and the kind of man you will be.
1. I would say no. You obviously still have feelings for her and being around her will just cause more problems for you. Be polite but put her on the back burner.
2. Yes, it's possible. Our interests change very often in teenage years. It's just something that happens. She might see that there is no guy like you and come back, but you will have to figure that one out. Try to move on. If she doesn't like you for who you are, she doesn't deserve you.
3. Never been in an actual relationship because I have never found a girl I liked enough to actually be bf/gf with. Have had my share of tough times and rejections, but getting rejected doesn't compare to what you're going through. I've been through times in my life that would cause the average person to crumble, and I've always come out stronger. Keep your head up. This won't last forever. There is a girl out there who is everything you've ever wanted. Just be patient.

[QUOTE=PrinceOfTmisc;990648953]any advice for the shy guys?[/QUOTE]
Pretend to be confident even if you're not. Ever heard the phrase "fake it 'til you make it"? It honestly works. Arrogance is usually a turn-off, but confidence is a whole other story. I've always been very shy and introverted myself, however I decided one day that I'd pretend to be outgoing and see what happenened. It didn't change my life over night, it didn't ask girls out for me, but it made a considerable difference in the way others perceive me and the way I perceive myself.
Try it and see what happens.

I mean, I'm not that bad, I used to be worse, but I'm just always so self conscious about what people are going to think... But ok, I'll keep your post in mind next time!

To be honest, I've always been the exact same way. I remember my freshman year of high school when I was waiting for the bus after school and some teacher needed something from her classroom for some reason or another. Since no one knew when the bus would get there, she asked if I could run fast enough to get whatever she needed before the bus arrived. I thought I could, but since I didn't know if the other kids at school thought I was fast or not, I actually looked around to see what the other kids would say. I never answered her question, I just let one of the other kids say "no" and didn't argue.
I know it sounds hackneyed and lame, but I'm serious: confidence is created, not given. Good luck brother, and report back as to how it goes!

when he hits 18, i'm sure hell be liek fukkk. Time to get alpha. IMHO if you are looking at colleges right now, you gotta study. no time for girls.
also. Get big, get solid. ... .. start to aspire to be a fitness model in terms of goal physique. Then you will know that at a first glance, your arsenal will fail a hell of a lot less if you are not confident about your current looks.

Thanks man :D This definitely helped me feel better. Right now, the hardest part is just coming to the realization that there will be another girl someday. Once I get past that point, I think things will be better. At the moment, i just can't imagine a relationship with any other girl

[QUOTE=grux12;990573473]What's your past relationship with this girl been like up to this point? You say you don't have many mutual friends, so I'm assuming you're admiring from afar?[/QUOTE]
pretty much, i dunno i just never really talked to her at the beginning of the year when you introduce yourself to people to new people so its like sorta weird to introduce myself now. Shes also grade 11, im grade 10 and shes hot so im reaching here, But ya admiring from a far basically.
@rolltide, at my age we tend to take the subway everwhere, and if a place isnt close to a subway stop we dont go their with friends.

It's only weird if you think it's weird. Find an innocent reason to get to know her. For instance, is she in any clubs? You might consider joining one of them. If she's a tutor or something, pretend you need a little help with something, then break the ice. How? Well, contrary to popular belief, pick up lines [I]do[/I] work, but really only if they're super-corny and the delivery is right. My absolute favorite pick-up line to use with girls I have a rapport with is called "the bunny story":
[quote=http://www.sosuave.com/home/feedback/pickuplines.htm]
Ask her if you can tell her a story. Then pick up her hand and draw a line across it. Then make a little dot. Say the line is a river and the dot is a bunny rabbit. The bunny rabbit has to get across the river. Is he gonna jump across, swim across, or go around? And as she guesses each one say nope. And then she'll say then what? And you'll say I have no clue, I just wanted to hold your hand.
[/quote]
This pickup line is GOAT, and since it's corny and funny, if this girl has [I]any[/I] sense of humor at all, she'll find it endearing.
So, to recap:
>find a way to get to know her better, ie: clubs/tutoring/etc
>break the ice, it does not matter how so long as you don't come off too strong
>establish rapport
>birds and bees
Things to remember: girls are people too, so treat her like a person, not a goddess (until you marry her ;) ); come off as confident, not cocky; don't come on too strong, but don't shy away from it either.

[QUOTE=Laidbackzack;989857603]mad as **** at myself. The past few months I've really gotten to know this girl in my dorm and we hang out all the time. She was kind of going through a sexuality crisis because she thought she was bi, but is rarely attracted to guys. She showed all kinds of signals that she liked me like kissing my cheek in a playful way, hugging me, touching me, etc. and I didn't think she was in to me because she said she is usually into girls. Last night I talked with her and told her I was into her, and she said she felt the same but didn't think I liked her back. She has been dating this girl for a few weeks and said that if I had had this conversation with her a few weeks ago, it would have worked. She said she still does like me and it might work in the future, but for now she wants to stay friends. I never thought I'd get into this kind of situation before I came to college. pissed at myself. I need to start acting sooner on my interest.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=fit4aprincess;989919513]Tell her you understand and want to be friends. If she's curious to the point of dating another girl, you probably shouldn't intervene. She needs to figure that out
Also. I've heard most girls go through that sexuality crisis in college. I don't know if it's true, but it could be a phase. If she's dating a girl, doesnt usually like guys, but like you.. Just let her take her time. If she realizes she isn't gay, you're the first person she's going to go to. Don't screw it up, by pushing for it to work. just act normal, how you used to.[/QUOTE]
Also, when we hang out now, she will hold my hand, hug me, etc even though she is quasi-dating this chick. It's even worse when she's drunk or high. She was drunk a few nights ago and tried to hookup with me while I was sober, but I knew it would further phuk things up between us. When she's high she does things that shows she has feelings for me. It's confusing as phuk and I'm not sure what to do.

heres what you do: make sexual advances on her and see what happens.
