Oh, and here is a real tip I got from the numerous friends of mine that happen to be women...

Woman hate players. If you don't act like yourself from the start, and your true colors show... they really really really REALLY get p***ed off about that. Just be yourself.

Oh, and a proper real tip I've got from you. Don't take advice from women about what theyw ant from guys.

Just learn from guys who are "successful".

Sometimes stammering works wonders.

The key is to tell them that their g-string/bra/pubes/whatever are showing, if for no other reason than common courtesy. If my fly is unzipped, I expect somebody to tell me, dammit, rather than let me walk around all day with my fly open.

It can't be done. The simple fact that you are her friend means that she is no longer attracted to you. You should have been more open with her from the beginning and let her know how you felt.

Same thing happened to me, back in Sept. We met at church, eventually developed a friendship, and then through subtle hints found out she liked me. Fortunately, the feeling was mutual. We went out for 3 months, but we were both too busy to actually keep it feasable, and she called it off. Now we're back to friends.

Exactly.

Plus it is an epitome to idiocy to believe that every man or woman has the same % in what constitutes the most important aspect for him/her.

Drake needs to get out more and stop getting all his information about relationships from net sites.

Very good friend to girlfriend conversion is very tricky, and you have to realise that you confessing your feelnigs towards her will change your relationship with her whatever happens afterwards. Things will never be as they are now. So if you don't want to lose what you now have, I'd think long and hard about actually going ahead with this plan.

You could however try and sound her friends out as to her feelings for you (that is if you can trust them not to blab it straight to her). That way you can find out if it's worth risking.

Paiktis, I'm not sure if you read that whole Ladder Theory thread or not, but I read it quite differently to you. I just took it to be an entertaining attempt to model the common themes in the dating game, assuming one's only goal was to get laid. Basically, just an amusing read.

My own goals with women are quite different to this and I agree that the act of classifying people is offensive, as it ignores the most important things about each person, which are unique.

But if you can set that all aside, the theory captures much of the subtext of the dating game, as I remember it. (Admittedly, I would never claim to understand female motivations, so I lack the knowledge and experience to judge.)

If they're already interested in you. It doesnt matter if you stutter incoherent bullsh!+ infront of them when u ask them out. They'll say its cute.

honesty is the best policy still, but I think I'm too honest when it comes to revealing my thoguhts and intentions to girls.

I'm afraid this might be true, from my experience *sigh*

when she gave me the 'lets just be friends' spiel, she said that she didnt know why she didnt like me anymore, appearntly her feelings had just 'faded'. I think she just wasnt attracted to me anymore, tho i dunno how you can be attracted to someone, and then seemingly abruptly, not.

I do enjoy her friendship now very much, but i miss soooo much holding her in my arms... i just got the greatest feeling... *sigh*

I was friends with all my girlfriend before we started seriously dating and f**king. :P


That whole "friend-zone" is not 100% true, and probably may apply only to guys whos looking for quick fix? I never had problems taking it slow and patiently. :P

maybe people just give up mentally when they realize theyre friends with girls.

Personally, I cant imagine asking out a girl that I hardly know about, and if I know them theyre my friends, if if theyre not my friends I probably think theyre a biatch.

That prolly explains why I only have success with friends :P. I totally dont understand "once you fall into friend zone," bullsh!t.

OK.
I dated very few girls and I had a crush on a very close friend, which discouraged me for a long time from pursuing anything else. I felt she wasn't all that attracted to me (certainly more attracted to at least one other). Eventually (after 4 years of this), I figured that I had to make sure she wasn't interested before I could get on with finding another gf, so I invited her out regularly and tried to turn it into something much more.

The process took a long time, but we were both pretty shy about sex, so hastiness probably wouldn't have helped. Also, she pretty much "never thought of me like that" for the first 4 years before we started going out. In fact, she used to invite me to parties if she had noone else to take along and it used to break my heart.

Now we've been married almost 10 years. My love for has basically never waned. Although I'm still more attracted to her than she seems to be to me, I really don't think it is a problem, as we each have such different ways of loving the other anyway.
