Guys- what do you think??? (Page 4)

Not sure- if I knew why it was such a challenge I would have overcome it by now

well younger girls are inherently jealous (i'm 21 so my target demographic is not going to be quite as mature as many of the posters on this site) and showing interest in the mark's friend is a good way to get the attention of the mark.

yes, this is a science. people fail at relationships because they don't trust the science. they go off by their feelings (which are NOT to be trusted b/c humans' feelings get out of whack when it comes to relationships) and then thing get blown out of proportion and break.

i should write a book. the scientific method of dating/sleeping with women. bestseller baby.

OK- during my lunch break I went to the bike shop and bought a case of my favorite accelerade gels.  Exciting.  Then I ate at my favorite burrito place.  I feel much better now.  Who needs a guy when I can eat burritos and stock up on my favorite gels???  Life is good

Very good.

Now, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THIS THREAD STILL BE GOING ON??? Come on Janelle, go to your party this weekend, forget about the guy, and move!

Heh...you are a gel whore. Haley's a post whore and Janelles a gel whore. I love this place.

To tie in the halloween thread...She should go as a fuel belt!!!! Wear black, super glue 4-6 water bottles on her, and pin gels all over!!!! BRILLIANT!

Oooh! That's awesome!

Damn I'm good.

My dating situation is different since I'm older, but I want to throw in my 2 cents.

I am veeeeery careful about calling men because as a guy buddy has told me over and over, "the guy wants to be the pursuer and chase you. Don't chase him...." and I NEVER want to be perceived as "needy"

However, that being said, I get tickets to sporting events and concerts through my job. I don't have a problem with calling up a guy and saying, "I have two tickets to a PGA tournament and none of my friends are really into golf and I know you are. Would you like to go with me?" Attending a sporting event is great as a first date because it's so open and casual and there's something to look at and talk about so you're not just staring at each other. (and sometimes I think the guy wants to stay friends with me in anticipation of free tickets to future events! ha!)

I have also been known to put people on the spot. You know how people will say, "We should have lunch some time." (both male and female friends will say that) I'll say, "When?" Or maybe a week later, call them up and say, "Hey, remember last week when you said we should go out for margaritas some time? What are you doing tomorrow night?" So I'm throwing their invitation (however flippant) back at them. I've never had anyone tell me no....

I agree with all of the above. There is a "sports exemption" to a girl calling a guy. Once tcikets to an event enter the picture, the hell with pursuing--the dude's happy to be going to the game!

Bill

Like I said, I don't call guys and this one is no exception. 

Yes, it's the Memorial. I go every year...

See, Janelle, it works!

LOL!  But I don't want a guy to use me for tickets!!
