Learn one thing: don't take s**t from anyone. I used to, then a girl over summer just dumped all her emotional crap on me and went off with one of my mates... after we'd been hanging out lots and really getting to know each other.

That was the last straw for me, I decided then and there to just be more confident and not take bull from anyone.

You know what? People respect me more now than they ever did.

It gets you far.

Oh and don't try and rush things, I think the friendly, giggly flirty stage is fun. Just coming straight out and saying "I fancy you" is a good way of letter her know you have feelings and want more than to just have some fun - sometimes people want to have fun before getting serious.

Again, what do I know though right? I'm just young and naive - oh joy.

i'll agree with pretty much everyone, that said, how old is she?? if she's 21, then i can just see her wanting to have fun, and everything she has been doing is just for a good time and you seem to be able to provide that. Granted, i don't know her so its hard to say, but the other side of that could be that she actually does like you, its just she doesn't want to get herself into the position to be hurt. I'm actually in the same spot as you are rate now, met this girl, was around her for all of a night, and we talked and she said she's not really sure if she wants to be in a relationship. I've done that to though, i was doing it just to keep some sort of distance so things would progress slowly, or because i was really unsure of what i wanted or was getting into, i'm sure its the same for her. Just take it really slow, and after you've been around her a for a week or so talk to her again about what she wants and what she's thinking and all that. If nothing is changed, then she is just a crazy girl, and i would leave it at that, don't pursue something that there isn't any point pursuing.

well, i'd like to think HWF is the exceptoin to the rule, on that, look up anti-trends photos, he's far from the typical geek, i have a few photos on here as well, and on that, most of us do, i can say we aren't typical. Also, this isn't the first instance of this type of thread ether. Just type Love in the search in general chat, a fair amount of threads come up.

Well. Sorry if I caused any offence it certainly wasn't the intention but in my limited experience of women there are no "rules" to the game. The whole point of the game is that they can change it any time they like leaving the fairer sex (thats us gentlemen) utterly bewildered. So I stand by my earlier advice of not taking it too seriously. Girls come and go. Enjoy the thrill of the chase whilst its there and when its gone move on to the next one.

People find "the one" at different times, some find it when they're young, some when they're middle-aged, some even when they're getting older, other people just don't find the person.

For example, my two best friends have been together for over 8 years now, they met and got together when they were 16, they're engaged to be married and have a child together. Myself, I'm about to move in with my fiance (tomorrow to be precise), I'm 21 and she's 23.

Not all girls are out for fun at the 18-25 age range, granted a lot are, but there are some who just don't like that kind of lifestyle.

To Pimp739: My main advice is just see how it plays out, meet up with her, share some nice times and see where it takes you, if it goes really well you could end up with a girlfriend, if it goes semi-well you could end up with a good friend, if it goes bad well you haven't really lost anything apart from some free time and a little money.

Without knowing anything about her I'd say it's impossible to tell what she's wanting/thinking, she could just be out for some fun, but from what you described there's a possibility she does have feelings for you but she's not too keen on following them through just yet. Maybe she wants to get to know you better as friends first, learn a lot more about you to see if you're someone she feels comfortable with.

My main advice, see where the mood takes you.

Basically you rushed into it to much and she has backed off. Maybe take things slower. Just chill out with her and be the friend she wants you to be. Then as she becomes more comfortable with you then things maybe will work out.
I second that. I've found the longest relationships lasted because I wasn't trying to impress her. It's a lot easier to be yourself when you're not making a point to chase her. Have fun, and if there's something there, it'll come with time. She may not be the one either, so just because you're not dating doesn't mean you can't learn.

Before my current fiancee, I was engaged before, and that went to pot. Better an ex-girlfriend than an ex-wife, I say. However, I learned the difference between having a female friend and having a partner for life. There's a major difference, and if you go too fast, you'll push her away or end up with a broken relationship---and those suck, no matter how amicable.

In short, slow down and be yourself.
Women think differently, and what we ogrish men might think is okay might be entirely off-putting to her. If you're up for some reading, pick up some books for pre-maritial couseling, like Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. I know marriage isn't in the immediate forcast, but the insight into why you think the way you do and how it relates to her is worth the read.
In a general sense these help, but you'll have to spend time with her to make it work out.

hmm... There was a time when i was like you, i liked this gal very much and we both were planned to marry. Our relationship went for about four years. Then she left me without telling me the reason. That was my first and last true love...Since last year i have been with so many girls even i cant count... More the number of girls you talk with and flirt with, more the knowledge and eperience you get on what a gal need when she is talking about something.
@ WWR - you are right not every gal wants to have pleasure at the age of 16-25. i have been with some of them as well and i think i hve learned a lil on how to take them inn as well lol. It jst takes a lil bit time.
@ Ali - Your gal seems bit easy. You shouldnt be telling her about your feelings immediately as every one recommending you. Its like my job, i never tell my clients that i am going to sell them but at last they easily sign up for what i want.lol.. You go out with her, flirt with her, share your feelings with her and let her share. More she will speak, more you will come to know about her. Give her some happy times... Give her the best Kiss because there is a lot of power in the Kiss, dats another thing i ve learned.lol, you can do nething if you are good in kiss unless you are forcing her to kiss you...
