Just go up to her and say "hi". Be yourself, and just talk with her, that's the key... There's no real magic or rocket signs.

Flowers, chocolates and a movie might score you some points.

But, depending on her interests, maybe even write her an app?

I vaguely remember someone proposing to his girlfriend in Portal. He (and the portal developer community) made a special level just for the proposal. A true show of dedication.

@dude79, just the same situation.

@Hodhey, thank you. I think Flowers, chocolates and a movie will work. She don't have a iPhone, so I can't write a app for her.

@ TheComet,thank you! I think you are right.

In my experience movie is a no go. Ask to hang out with her at some place where you guys can talk like Starbucks or Jamba Juice. Doesn't hurt to give her flowers. Afterwards just talk and be yourself. Don't ask perverted things too. lol seriously just also be positive. girls like positive guys.

The chances are she already knows, the chances are they all know. That's a good thing though, because if they know, they talk about it, and they will drop hints if she likes you too. I say ride it out (no pun), maintain your dignity and try and relax around them. If nothing is happening, and you kinda need to know, then speak to one of her friends, be subtle though. Girls talk about who they like all the time, unless they're around someone they like .

Ohh, and don't have an opinion on what you all do together, be up for anything they want to do, bingo, chick flick, zumba class, community service... whatever. Ideally side with the option with the least chance of other guys hitting on her, don't go to a club, don't get drunk.

Take her down off her pedestal. When you get to know her, you'll realise she's boring and looks like a dog chewed shoe when she's not got her make-up on.

Seriously, she's not all that. I don't care who she is. You won't share all your interests, she will make you do lots of hideously boring things, and she won't be even 1% as good as the women you've watched on 'those video websites'.

When I look around at all my friends, all I see is men sapped of life, soulless and empty, preying for death. Talking to their girlfriend is like talking to a particularly boring looking plank of wood. I'd get more stimulation from watching Jeremy Kyle. And watching how my friends once carefree attitudes have been crushed by nagging, a complete lack of reason, and a woman asserting her dominance, I see nothing but broken shells and empty vessels.

I count myself lucky that my Mrs is interesting and lets me do whatever the hell I want, but she is in the minority. All my exs have been pains in the arses and it's only with hindsight that I've realised 95% of women (people in generally actually, so don't read that as sexism) don't deserve you to spare them one ounce of nervousness. They should be pleading with you to accept them as girlfriends and promising to not be boring and promising never to nag or spend your life savings on a wedding which will be meaningless when you divorce in 5 years time.

Yes I'm exaggerating, but YES I mean it too. You are the prize. She isn't. Best attitude to have!

Crikey. Don't come from Manchester by any chance? Personally I don't really fancy someone unless I get on massively with them. Even now after knowing her for about 10 years I yap on to my wife everyday without getting bored. Couples suck when there is no real link between the two apart from the obvious. And she looks much better than a shoe without makeup Honestly where do you pick up these women?

Quote: "When I look around at all my friends, all I see is men sapped of life, soulless and empty, preying for death"
Exactly. 99% of people I know get together because they fancied each other and that's it. A year later or two and they have a kid or two and hate each other. Personally I go with the "date your friends" angle. Everyone poo poos it, but seriously you already know you love being in their company.

Quote: "Talking to their girlfriend is like talking to a particularly boring looking plank of wood"
Yep. A friend of mine (best man in fact) was married for a few years. Really really boring woman who seriously was the intellectual level of a hamster with zero conversational ability. Totally opposite to him. He eventually left her and is now gay. Not surprised. I would have done some serious stuff to get away from her...

Cheers

Ps. One of the best and longest relationships between friends of mine was with 2 people who met on a MUD in the early 90s. They then met in real life at a MUD convention and have been together since. Nice...

lol. I may have embellished my rant to get my point across, but my point stands and I think you agree with it for the most part.

As a young scallywag, when you're in the company of a girl you don't know who you fancy, you put her right up on this pedestal. Been there and done that, as have we all. It's only later on in life when you've had several girlfriends that you realise that first girl was nothing special. If you could go back in time and talk to your young self, you might've told him to not even bother, because she never did anything with her life and was never really an interesting person. There are millions of girls like her, and being nervous at the time was about as appropriate as wetting yourself with fear before having your Weetabix in the morning.

Dating your friends makes sense, if (a) they're of the right gender and (b) you can find that chemistry. It can be hard to look at a female friend in that way if you've known them for a long time.

Fallout I second his first inspired rant,

Don't waste your nervousness on them, your a man, guess who will be expected to work your whole life to support 'dependables'. Its the modern age, women have jobs, but they get a choice, you do not. A pretty 'unknowing' girl can work in corner shop, live with her parents, and be the equal of any possible suitor in the world, be he prince or beggar. Imagine you in the same position.

We live in an age where women are very delusional about what they are entitled to, Brat Pitt looks minimum, 7 figure salary, etc, its the princes syndrome, meanwhile the media has blamed men for everything, young men carry this supposed guilt of men from the ages, lets be honest, the only thing men are guilty of from the past is working to support a family all their lives, and dieing in wars to protect them, women of the modern age nicely forget that when they proudly boast all men are pigs while they polish their tiaras.

Also dont waste your time on that nice guy nonsense, women dont respect that, by nice they mean nice 'to them', everyone else be damned, which is what they want if you are to bring home the spoils of conquest, they seek security above most things, do nice men make the best providers of that? Get assertive, and dont be afraid to tell them what they are doing, they like a man to sweep them off their feet, do you know what that really means, it means they wont have to stand on theirs.

Do you know why they like a man in uniform, its because they work in the services. Security, you dont get fired from the governments services, or are much less likely to, security, makes women feel sexy, why do you think strippers dress as firemen and navy officers, security, not oiled up muscles, I should know, I used to be a competitive bodybuilder, money or muscles, guess which they like best.

Oh look, its chick flick - An officer and gentleman

At the end he qualifies as an officer, comes into the factory and picks her up in his arms, and carries her out of the doors, in other words, she doesn't have to work ever again. - security for life!

Still feel nervous in front of these angels? Now go and tell her what she is doing with her life and how you fit into it.

Fallen One is my new favourite voice of reason. Sorry Dazzag, you are now in second place. I expect some sort of fight to the death, but I draw your attention to:

That's twice now. I think you have the wrong word...

Or he is 97 years old. Or I don't have a face. Hmmm. Or all your assumptions from our many years of talking drivel and talks about cars (inc. ones that are in the scrapheap) are completely wrong, and I am infact a bit like Arnie in Conan (the film, not the chatshow host... ewwwww...). With a beard. And Welsh. Obviously.

Yeah, that is a schoolboy typo. My only excuse is, due to my excessively violent nature and complete lack of interest in religion, 'prey' is the only word I truly know.

As for cars on the scrapheap, I'll have you know my pride and joy sold for £6k on an auction website. Probably been crashed since, but still ... after the insurers stole it from me, it was bought and put back on the road by someone else with great taste.

Really? I thought you wrapped it around a lamppost? I'm going to be carless soon. I'm selling my M3 and going back to Cyprus in a few weeks. Wife can drive me around for a while in the hated Elise.

I reversed it into a post. Hold on (and sorry Halley for hijacking your thread) ...



... and the insurance company wrote it off for that and gave me £10k. Couldn't get cheaper quotes to get it fixed in time. Somebody got an absolute bargain.

As for cars in general, I downgraded to the Leon Cupra R and then had to sell that to afford the deposit on a house. Now sharing a 2003 Passat with the Mrs. Yes ... time has not been kind. At least I still have the bike for near death experiences.

Not exactly. I thought we quite adequately handled that a while back. The guy must be brimming with confidence after my sage advice. Or fuelled by hatred after yours. Whichever; he's obviously sorted now. Another disaster avoided and moved onto interesting stories about cars and crazy friends. Tops.

To be fair, if he can get himself to love cars and motorbikes more than women, he will indirectly be winning the battle of nerves too. All he'll need to do is realise she is an obstruction to him ever achieving his goals in the world of petrol, and that crushing blow of disappointment will be enough to quash any nerves.

RIP to the M3. May the new owner rag it within an inch of its life.

LOL, probably both, I tore the inner bicep off curling 300 pounds, if your a Brit and pounds throw you off its 21 and a half stone, I had surgery to reattach the tendon to the forearm, then 3 months in plaster. Had to push it that far, all part of lifes journey, no regrets.

Now back to the original thread, you are going to have to bite the bullet with girls, and stick your neck out, though you may have a get out clause, in nature, the male never chases the female, the females chase the male, males only put on a display, culture has made the opposite in humans, wrongly so, it goes against natures rules. Men work, build, think, that's a man, women are sexuality, they trade sex for a mans security, in accordance to natures rules, if you put on a good enough display, they should come to you. Unfortunately for you, your probably not in a position to put on a good enough display.

Women hit the road running being at their highest value as new 'untarnished' women, men on the other hand are at their least valuable as young men, but as men and women age, women lose value, (cougar - LOL), but men gain it. When you sell sexuality, as you age, the value goes down, and lets not forget, second, third forth hand... it loses its value, like all things one posses, one poses it less the more owners its had, women also don't have the ability to have children all their lives like men do, as the clock tics, with every month, so does their chances to have children. Men on the other hand start out life valueless, and gain value as they age, gaining knowledge, experience, wisdom, security and worldliness, all things women wish to have through a man. As women haughtily reminded you as a young man of natures values of the sexes, dont forget to pay the compliment back as the tables are turned.

The movies sell the opposite of reality to pander to the public's fear and inadequacy, especially so in the entertainments of women, woman trade their sexuality for security, the rules state the better the sexuality, young, attractive, unsullied, unsullied, yes, and Ill tell you why, mothers baby, farthers maybe, you see a women knows its hers, do you? The less partners, the better the chance the woman you worked for 'all' your life and the children she bore are yours. This is natures rules, but Hollywood is not about reality, but fantasy.

The film pretty woman, nature says a young virginal maiden snares the rich man, Hollywood says a prostitute does. In reality women value security higher than romance and love, this is symbolised in the film Titanic, but rather than showing the reality, the females need for security over love is hidden by blaming the male, in this case the rich man only has love for himself and his own preservation, in reality, the rich man marries for romance, and it is the woman that marries coldly and selfishly for her own preservation. The film also has the you can have it all princess syndrome, Leonardo di Caprios character, he is poor, life with him bawdy and chaotic, the opposite of the 'secure' life of the rich man, secure, but of course it lacks passion, romance, love, and fulfilling sexuality, but this being Hollywood, the woman has it all, her princess status maintained.

Sex and the City, sex and shopping, womens favourite things, men hunt, women gather, for what is shopping if its not gathering, of course a good hunter expects good sex, this being hollywood of course, women, middle aged ugly ones at that, have no need to behave themselves and abide by natures rules, they can sleep with the whole of new york and still buy designer shoes, and what are designer shoes, but the Freudian phalluses of the act of coitus. You see it is not men that only think of sex, it is women, it is their stock in trade, and a mans. Work, build, think, are we not all here evidence of that, and where would women be without man and his civilization, still sat in the trees eating cork and moss.

Lose the nervousness, the male in nature is always the finer plumed of the sexes.

@Fallen one

I'm afraid that rant is probably lost here, but it was a good read for me anyway. I'm waiting for Seppuku Arts to happen upon it and read his input.

I try to carry on with my life in ignorance, because if you think about it in too much detail, what we really should be doing is:
- Ditching our girlfriends/wifes when they get old
- Sleeping with as many under 25s as possible

Which results in:
- A lot of people who think you're a git
- A lot of illegitimate children who grow up without a father figure and have a high probability of becoming scum

Yet, as far as nature is concerned, that makes perfect sense! Society, as we've made it, is a perversion of many laws of nature, and they aren't really compatible. Weird, isn't it?

No your wrong, nature says quality or quantity. As the ancient Greeks would say the love of - Eros or Ludos. God of romance or god of the chase. Better offspring, quality, or many offspring, quantity, rats or hawks.

Beard. Welsh. Cry...

I think we can safely say that he has now got a good grounding in how to act around women Sort of. And if not then a much better understanding of how we have confronted problems on this forum for many years

Basically it's man up, get a fast car (chicks love cars and scars) that isn't wrapped around a lamppost, treat women like dirt, and, erm, write them an app...

Personally though my overall advise I think is make a move on your best friend. The one that isn't a dude. Or whatever floats your boat.

May I refer you to the wise words of Henry Rollins (Warning, offensive language)?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpAH64qw6zU

As for the rant, I don't actually agree. Generally I say sod nature, I mean I'm typing from a laptop, I've flown on an airplane, doctors can treat cancer and generally the human race has said sod nature, we're doing it OUR way. It may be natural for the men to be the hunters and the women to be the gatherers and it may work out quite nicely in some tribal societies and there may be some reflections of that in modern society in some people's behaviour - like some women's obsession with shopping might be interpreted as that 'gatherer' state of mind, but I don't consider it something to be set in stone, sure it may be instinct...there's a lot of instincts we choose to ignore or we have lost all-together. I don't think we have to be the alpha-males in protection of our tribe as we send our women to gather berries whilst the men go out and hunt mammoths. Though, it'd be pretty damn cool to take a mammoth down with only a pointy stick, but I digress.

Of course, you don't need to be nervous...well okay, may be a little bit just to give you that drive of adrenaline. The Yerkes Dodson law for our psychology nuts out there. People generally respect confidence and it can only go one of two ways: she thinks of you in the same way or doesn't. If you have the confidence to ask, you can know. When you know, you're either feeling like the bi-winning Charlie Sheen or you're able to move on and find somebody else.

The whole thing about women being 'sex and the city', the sex and shopping. I am with Henry Rollins on this, in that you want somebody with a brain and who is interesting, which kind of equates to some of the stuff Fallout said about if your girl being boring like talking to a plank of wood. You're probably not going to be constantly sexing it up with 25 year old girls and them living out their worth. You'll have somebody you'll enjoy the company of and share the rest of your life with. You both get the company and comfort of somebody you care about and is somebody you will remain interested in once that youth well has dried up and you're not going at it like bunny rabbits.

But I'm usually that single guy who happily hangs around with women and gets along with them just fine, also the guy everybody probably thinks is gay. So, I probably can't give the best relationship advice out there, because it'd actually mean I'd have to live up to my word to avoid becoming a hypocrite.

Beard. Welshness. I have yet to meet a gay bloke with a proper man's beard. Especially when combined with Welshness. I'll check with my best man (read wedding best man and not to each other...) who is pretty gay (as in is actually gay now he's done with the whole women and marriage thing). According to him avoiding white belts normally keeps you on the straight and narrow. Strange...

Only these forums would you find a thread like this lol. Oh you guys

To a degree, every man is going to battle some amount of nerves when around a girl he likes. Just need to learn how to get past them and stay confident.
When I was in my first few years ago I had that issue to the point I pretty much stayed away from girls entirely. Once you have learned to deal with it, it becomes much easier each time.

I used to have this problem really bad with girls, but then I got a boyfriend. I don't think my advice there would really help, though...

The main thing a person looks for in a guy is a good listener. Cliched, but only because it is true. Find a mutual point of interest, and bring it up. Listen to her opinions, and ask relevant questions, these'll show her that you're genuinely interested in her life. If you have disagreements, don't be afraid to say that you don't feel the same way over certain subjects. A girl will respect an honest man a lot more than a yes man. Just don't let yourself get too passionate about your opposing opinion.

If you do get to the point where you feel you might try at it, go for it. Have a night where you make her feel special. This is where you finally hold onto her. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, just make it fun. In fact, fancy restaurants and the like may make her feel uncomfortable. If you find a first date relevant to her interests, it'll prove that you're a good listener, as well as give her an atmosphere she'll be a lot more comfortable in.

In honesty, this appears to work for guys and girls in my experience. Then again, my boyfriend is fairly effeminate, so it might just be him...

Tell her you make games. That's how I wrangled my lady. If her clothes don't fall off at that point, she aint worth it.

As for the rant, I don't actually agree. generally the human race has said sod nature, but I don't consider it something to be set in stone,"

Nature is set in stone, nature is reality, nothing is outside of nature, nothing, toasters, computers, shake an vac to put the freshness back, all came from understanding nature, read, REALITY. If its not relevant to you its because you are living in moms basement, eating pop tarts and sunny delight while surfing Asian pleasure mounds, an extension of the mothers womb, when you leave the safety of moms milky bosom you will see natures rules, read reality do apply to you, as they do to EVERYTHING.

Be the mac daddy and the women will flock for the lifelong free pony rides, its how they work, its how nature makes it work.

BAHAAHAHA! Not sure if that was what was intended but this is one of the funniest things I've read on the forums. But thank you for your point, it's great to know that reality is reality. Don't think I could have figured that out without your post.

I'm not exactly sure what to make of this. Shame we don't have any women posting here any more, it'd be interesting to see what their opinion is on this. I'm sure some would laugh at the idea of trading sex for security...because it doesn't sound at all like the women I know and that's not just my mother.

[edit]

You referenced Freud in an earlier post, whilst he was revolutionary in the sense of psychoanalytical psychology, but not all of his ideas were sane. He suggested men want to kill their fathers and have sex with their mothers and that women has a thing called 'penis envy' because psychologically speaking they think their mother mutilated them and so they don't like their mothers. The man was obsessed with sex himself.

Crikey it's all getting quite serious is it not? Just ask one out mate. If that fails ask another. Put beer in the middle of the equation and at some point it will work. Sort of.

Quote: "Tell her you make games"
Hmmm. If we did a moist graph (you know what I mean and if you don't then you should be in bed watching Teletubbies or something) with things you do along the horizontal then I'm pretty sure that would be in the "Make her an app" section. ie. incredibly rare. What would make that much higher on the graph is if you slightly changed that phrase to "Tell her you make games that make loads of money. Look at my Ferrari for instance..." or "Tell her the app you made for her was done in your lunch break (not for the past month or so)" or "My forum name is 'fallen one' and have you seen how many Welsh hermits I can lift with one hand?"

Quote: "I'm letting the bum fluff on my chin grow, so who knows?"
You don't mean bum fluff. You mean man hair! Bum fluff doesn't even appear on the moist graph (or chart or even ahem pie chart, and I don't even know where I'm going with Venn diagram...).

lol, well it looked like bum fluff the last time I trying growing it. It's a little better this time round, but still a long way off from being a proper Viking beard.


Given Dazzag is basically a god of women, I think you should ship him off to China, just be careful he doesn't move in on your lass because he'll be all like, "check out my sexy Welsh accent".

And suddenly I have this image of a Welsh Austin Powers, "yeah boyo yeah!"

Damn, I wish I could do a Welsh accent. I sound like a moron when even attempting one.

Heheh, ahem, not exactly Also I don't sound Welsh. All the family do but me. Dad was in the RAF and I was actually born in Cambridge (Ely; same town as Sisters of Mercy bloke). When I eventually moved to Wales (when I was 9) I actively decided to not sound like the rest of them (Anglesey sucks for accents unlike my south Walean family). I don't really have an accent. Although someone swore blind I came from Bath. Should be a news reader really... My wife is Irish (comes from Limerick) but sounds like Eastenders...

Hmm. Possibly. With a beard. Although my ultimate hero is that bloke in my avatar. If I could be him I would die a happy man...

It's amazing how many women respond to that sort of thing. Being all sensitive is so 90s/00s...

So basically up the road from me. My old German teacher lived in Ely.

My dad was in the RAF too, but I kinda started life in Wales, moved to Cambridgeshire, moved to Germany (Munchengladback) and then back to Cambridgeshire and we've stayed here ever since.

Never been there really. Went to Italy for a few years when I was like 6 months old. Was pretty happy when I heard the main bloke in one of my favourite bands was born there. No so happy when I heard is smallest city in England. Bit like the big feet myth...

Quote: "I kinda started life in Wales"
Was it Anglesey? Everyone in the RAF has to (did have to?) train in Anglesey and my dad loved it so much as a young lad that he took us back there to live when I was 9 (even though no family or friends anywhere nearby and it was a choice against Austria... sigh....). Turns out getting off your face with your mates at like 16 years old or so makes a place far more attractive than to a 9 year old boy.

I'll have to look at that later. Only recently has work allowed YouTube again, and I assume so they can monitor us. Plus this PC doesn't even have speakers.

Hawarden was where I was born, so literally on the Welsh side of Chester. However, don't know much about the place, I was still a baby when we left.

It's possible he did train in Anglesey, I mean he joined the airforce years before I was born. I don't know when he joined, but I know he was stationed on the Ascension Islands during the Falklands War and that was...1982 wasn't it? I was born in 1989.

Oh and this personal information won't help you acquire my bank details.

[edit]
I love it how when either me, Dazzag or Fallout enter a thread it goes off topic.

Highly likely. I think everyone is supposed to. It's why William was there a while.

Cry. I started in BTEC in Anglesey that year

I don't see how. All this is valuable information if you ask me Not probably to do with the topic at hand, but it's stuff he *needs* to know. Have we scared him off BTW?

I was married to a Chinese girl from Dalian, and have dated Asian girls exclusively for over a decade, so I hope my opinion is worth something. Just straight up tell her you think she's cool and interesting and want to have a coffee with her. Take her to KFC (Chinese girls love KFC). Most importantly, let her do all the talking. I find that women love to talk about their interests, and then at the end they'll compliment you for your listening skills.

Chinese girls are very family oriented so make sure you show interest in that category. As far as I know they're not interested in mean guys (like westerners), so look sharp and show her a good time.

If she just wants to be friends or shows any kind of negative signals about hanging out with you, then ditch the concept of dating her. It's not worth it!
