Yeah. I must admit, that one fazed me a bit more than other rejections. But no one gets through life without getting their feelings hurt; you just gotta get over it, and then get some.

Go to it, Stefu!

Dating is all about the law of averages. Until you've asked out at least 100 people and still gotten rejected, I don't want to hear any whining.

But if you need any tips, the Sneakster is here for you....in a nutshell:
A Woman Needs To Be Desired and Adored.
and, conversely:
Treat A Lady Like A Whore and A Whore Like A Lady.

That's the gist of it and will get you off to a good start, dear Stefu.

Well, I guess that just goes to show that there are many ways to go about this sort of thing...

SuperSneak · February 19, 2002, 23:43

You don't know the half of it...I put it in the crude vernacular, but Horse can clarify it for me.
I'm going home.

Ah well, you see it is physically impossible for me to treat people like anything less than a lady. I even treat my history professor like a lady.

Urban Ranger · February 20, 2002, 01:03

Then, according to Sneakster, all you need is to find whores

A girl is always flattered when asked out, even when she refuses, even when she hates the one who asks, provided that he behaves like a sane human being with a friendly attitude, that is, doesn’t push it too hard. A boy too is flattered when a girl asks him out, I presume.

A girl will always think positively or at least more positively than before about a boy who has asked her out. So it’s always worth a try; the result is on the plus side even when the girl refuses.

to Stefu.

"Treat A Lady Like A Whore and A Whore Like A Lady."

Blame it on my lack of experience with prostitutes, but what is that supposed to say ? "Make confusing statements and hope only women will understand'em" ?

Solly · February 20, 2002, 04:58

I have to disagree with Supersneak! Most of my successes have come from treating girls well, not from treating them like a piece of sh!t there only to serve us.

And, does he appreciate it?

And about Supersneaks remark:

Some women want guys that are 'in control'. Not sure if that means treating them like a whore. But just being nice doesn't do it either. If you make a girl feel insecure, they somehow feel more inclined to prove themself to you.

The only plus of that exercise is with the girl's ego.

You have to read between the lines. I.e.; good girls want to be bad and bad girls want to be good.
You just have to figure out which yours is.
You know, a good crack on the butt to the librarian, holding the door for the class slattern...works like a charm.

Dr Strangelove · February 20, 2002, 15:42

Here's one way of looking at it, Stefu: If you had gone out with her, and maybe gotten to "know her"

better, then she gave you the old "Let's be friends" line that would be it. You'd never see her again. In my experience when a girl gives that line to a boyfriend it's the female equivalent to putting on a garland of garlic and holding up a lqrge crucifix. She woul be as likely to continue being your friend as she would with Count Dracula. OTOH, since she gave you this line before dating you she will likely act as if nothing had ever occured, and at least continue talking to you. You may have another chance some day.

pchang · February 20, 2002, 16:18

And the response is......

OK, how about a friendship f**k?

No that is the line "I look at you as my brother".

And the only plausible answer to that is: I am an only son. (and leave)

loinburger's three rules for dating:

Rule #1: Women are haters.

Rule #2: See Rule 1.

Rule #3: Did I mention that women are haters?

Another plausable answer is "So how do you feel about incest?"

But that doesn't always work.

Errrr... I live in the South. The line "I think of you as my brother" might not convey the message you're thinking of around here. A girl would likely get a response along the lines of "Well HOT D**N, sissy! Let's Go!"

Good girls and bad girls ? Tell you, most women are little angels AND little devils - and they show it anyway. If you mean a man should play both sides, then yes.

Haters? Hating what? Do I taste a itsy bitsy bitterness here?

They sure hate other women. Had a big argument this week with my girlfriend about going to a birthdayparty of an ex-girlfriend of mine. She didn't mind, but blah blah blah.., Drekkus is staying home friday night.

Hater = *******, *****, bastard, ****er, ****, whatever it seems most appropriate to translate it as at the moment.

Don't read too much into a hippie-post on an internet bulletin board.

Women are all well and good as long as they don't hate on me, and so long as I don't have a relationship with one they either a. don't hate on me, or b. are powerless against my Haterade.

LTEC! · February 21, 2002, 12:13

Don't get too worked up over this.

If the girls says lets be friends, be friends. That doesn't mean you can't become a really close friend that every so often behaves like he already was the boyfriend and make the "friend" scratch her head.
Many marriages have been made out of the line "we already behaved like we were married, so we just went ahead and did it".

The lets just be friends line works on different aspects though.
One, -you're cute but i'm trying to grab someone else right now.
Two, -it took you too long to hit on me and now you'll suffer the consequences.
Three, -you're too nerdy looking for me to parade with you as a boyfriend.
Four, -i hate men right now but stay around for when i reconcile myself with the gender.
And so on.
