I seldom approach women I don't know, so I rely a lot on either meeting girls through people I know, or waiting for them to come to me. I love it when girls come on to me. Now the question. Ladies, how often do you initiate a relationship with a guy you don't know? Are you ever the aggressor, or do you just wait for the guys to come to you? What do you look for when you're trying to pick up a guy?
I dislike being the aggressor, it sets the wrong tone in a relationship for me personally... I like the guy to be the pants, to be the more dominant person in the relationship. I'm already the dominant person in every aspect of my life, i don't wanna be the pants there too. Not that there's anything wrong with asking a guy out, but to me it indicates that he isn't gonna be the aggressor, isn't an alpha male, isn't gonna be wearing the pants in a relationship with me.
I'm not into the whole 'male should ask the female out because that's just the way it is thing'. I'm totally into being the one to show interest, but of course, it's nice too to have the guy initiate it. I look for eye contact. Eye contact is key. If I think you're nice to look at and you give me enough eye contact, I'll definitely come up to you and say hi.
Guys just need to get over being too timid to ask girls out. Usually it's just the jerks that are aggressive, it'd sure be nice to be hit on by a real honorable man. I never so 'no' to most lunch dates however...
The problem I have is that even though I'm a nice, honorable man, I usually sound like a creep if I hit on a girl. Though, the lunch thing is a plus. I pretty much always ask a girl out on a lunch date for the first one.
I try to be as charming as I can all the time... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but the important thing is I try... damnit. Either way, it doesn't really mater, I just enjoy female company. *most female company*
Thanks... hey sucks that I'm missing out on ACL this year, it'd be great to see you there. Checked out your gallery, you're stunning.
Eh, it involves me having to start anything.. I'm not going to bother. If I try to show interest in someone, I just come across as sketchy. The thing with the ladies is to more experienced girls I come across as too sweet and naive, and for some reason less experienced girls think I'm creepy. So yeah, I'm totally only into river dolphins now.
Aw, you're sweet. It does suck that you're going to miss out, besides missing the awesome shows and a great time, we could seriously have a hip forum togetherness thingy... even if it was just us two. I'll let you know how the fest goes.
That's true. Women also seem to love assholes. Unfortunately, I'm too much of a gentleman to oblige them.
Guys are either too fun--thus worthless for anything but fun. Or, too serious and successful--thus you never get to see them because they're always working. A happy median would be nice...
I don't like assholes. I'm totally into dorks. I dig the intelligent, artsy types who seem somewhat reserved and quiet but are raging inside with passion. Those are the guys I like to go up to. Assholes are overrated.
Probably in the unnoticed file. I find it hard to take any 18yo male seriously--they're so full of themselves and so sure they have it all wrapped up. Experience makes a man, but only a woman can craft a gentleman. You guys need to be tamed and trained don't ya'know. I'm sorry--that does sound kinda bitchy. But, you'll see I am right...
Definatly. You live in Austin? I've gotta couple friends who put on some shows there occasionally... next time I go up there I'll PM ya. Dunno what kinda music you like, but there'll probably be something cool going on.
My advice to you is to avoid the guys you take seriously. You'll get bored with anyone whos tame anyway.
