The Dating Stories/Progress thread

Welp, I'm in love (again), but this time there's a twist; the guy I love loves me back. (ending my sentences on periods means serious time.)
Soooooo... yeah. This guy I like is 15 (which I can confirm- I've heard his voice via Skype and it sounds very 15) and lives three states away, we have similar interests (well, we met exchanging friendcodes for AC:NL while playing TF2, so that should give you a clue), we're both upstanding members of society (you learned something new about me today, hooraaaaaaaaay~), etc. etc.
We talk with each other over Steam Chat, but each conversation ends in us getting all lovey with each other.

Oh god I feel like I'm rambling on about him
Feel free to yell at me about everything I'm doing wrong.



(also he agreed to be my LP co-commentator so that makes me pop flyin')

I think it's a little too soon to be claiming you both love each other.

Infatuation is much more likely.

My bud Colin's favorite number is 36, which was once my favorite number. (until I stopped caring about favorite numbers) We're both Geminis. I guess this means I have to sex him :/
(My lady friend's eyes are blue and her birthday is in April. I don't think she has a favorite number. Got my facts straight bitchezzzzzz)

More seriously, Reyo, just be friends with her for a while. That's not to say you can't try to initiate a relationship, but two out of the three relationships I've been in (the only exception is one I didn't take the initiative to start up) have just started from my asking a close friend if they'd like to date. I could never do random hookups in bars; I just depend way too much on getting to know someone through friendly interaction.

So now that you're acquainted, just sort of start trying for a relationship? You can be as overt or subtle as you want, but you'll want the point to get across eventually. Just without being creepy. Definitely don't go for creepy.

My eyes are hazel and my birthday is in august, my favorite flowers are bleeding hearts and I am a virgo. This will be on the 'date me' test later.

Hey guys, you want an example of the kind of advice I see on a regular basis, particularly with issues in the "friendzone"?

Why can't these betas figure out how to fuck the people who 'friendzone' them?
Just be sexy and drop keyphrases like 'Must have no strings attached sex' 'I don't want a girl who's going to fall in love with me' and 'I'm not looking for a relationship' and flirt with their prettier friends, shit is easy.

The mentality is that you are giving them the attention they want, so they wont want to give you sex as long as you want it. However, as soon as someone threatens the chance of them losing you to another person, they will jump your bones as long as you aren't going to fall in love with them.

Truth is love hurts, and no one wants that unless it happens 'naturally', but no one controls this 'natural' notion, love is actually earned over time and through trust.

I know...it hits you right in the Left Ventricle...

[Cori]

What.

[SaintCrazy]

That... is terrible advice.

That's like the people who say nice guys finish last and girls only go for aloof jerks that act like they don't care about them. It's dumb and it doesn't work.

Just ask this girl out to coffee or lunch or whatever you want. Just be yourself, be casual about it, and treat her like a regular human being instead of getting into the mentality that she's sticking you into the "friend" or "boyfriend" category and that you need to treat her like a "girlfriend". Just go get to know her some and enjoy yourself. It's not that hard and there's no use in overthinking it.

I never miss a chance to drop my favorite number: 13

Negging, sort of. Pickup artists (and other people within that level of respectability) use hells of fucked up methods.

Like everyone's saying, just act natural. Enjoy her company and try to hang out. Just don't be too shy to be a bit more forward about your feelings if a chance arises.

I never understood how anyone can pick people up at bars, I can barely hear myself think over the music, much less talk to anyone. Im assuming some sort of interpretive dance or mime act is involved

Depends on where you go. There's a little sake bar in the city here I like. It's down a side alley, so the business 9 to 5 crowd sort of miss it. Had a great chat with the guy who owned it last time I was there. Bars are nice man, just don't go to shitty ones.

[Cafall]

did u take him home

get smth from the top shelf eh

[Spoony]

I was all like bro I think you dropped your bottle opener

you better bend over to pick it up

"Or you can instead just use my chiseled buttocks to pop it off"

Reyo, stop going to 4chan for dating advice. Dating advice in and of itself it ridiculous. Just be the cool person you want to be. When you meet someone who thinks your brain/body combination is really all that and the feeling is mutual you may try to see if smooches are in order.
