Don't apologize, just move on and play the cool card. Sometimes the cool card alone will make them come to you.

Evert: well it was our second serious conversation and I really didn't have any mean how to find out. Anyway I know that, and that's exactly what I try to do always, but sometimes...

Le_Y_mistar: Not in this case. I'd say there was a misunderstanding, so without resolving that nothing more will happen.

And she may construe the 'coolness' as arrogance.

On such threads on allegro.cc forums, for every post analysing human female behaviour the probability of a terminal male error approaches one.

Nothing personal. Just a thought that occured to me. ;D

We got on fairly well, but I had a big crush on someone else at the time, so I didn't persue it (which with hindsight was the wrong thing to do, but it felt like the decent thing at the time).

This happens to me a lot. I think girls try to avoid you if they think you have a crush on them or if you're trying to find someone to have a crush on, but if your affections are elsewhere, they start popping up out of the woodwork. A female friend once told me that girls will flock to me if I don't keep wishing I had a girlfriend. From my observations, I'd say she was right.

I'm going to second that from my own experiences.

Oh, yes. I've noticed some girls to act more "flirty" when I'm talking to them about other cute girls - even if I really do have a crush on another girl.
It's also a well-known complaint: if you don't have a girlfriend, it's relatively hard to get one. If you do have a girlfriend, girls will be fighting for your attention.

Because they think that there must be a reason why you don't have a girlfriend? And if you have girlfriend, then there must be something about you that's good?

Hey you seem to forget that girls behaviour is irracional and illogical. That's why they act as you described.

jhuuskon: sigged ;D

I know it's a common male complaint that women are weird and wired backwards... not my experience with most girls I know though. The behavior I described above is fairly logical, from a biological point of view.

RP: yeah and that's why I'm so "naughty" to my female friends and tormenting them 8-)
Evert: well I understand your attitude, but I expirienced only illogical behaviour - I seem no to understand them :-/

Real men don't ask girls out on a date, they inform girls they have a date! >:(

Ok quick solution, kill her then date her sister.. but seriously... just drop her. You are taking this too far, just calm down give her time, find someone else, and if that doesnt work out and you still wanna try for Amber... go to her, be like I've changed.. I'm more secure with myself and I made a mountian out of an ant hill .. wanna try things again?

Maybe go to a night club and get a nice bump and grind to clear things up?

I have not only asked for advice from you guys. :P There's been a couple of people whom I respect greatly that give me more intimate advice. You guys, however, give different perspectives which is useful for getting an idea of what's going on.

So I went in to work today to talk to her. Guess what freaking happened? She said that part of it was her fault for not being more clear that she couldn't do anything Sunday. She also doesn't get any reception where her Dad lives, so that's why it didn't pick up. She also hadn't even listened to the voicemail and said she would skip it if I wanted her to.

Holy crap. God exists, kicks ass, and he's got my back in more ways than I can comprehend.

Oh man, I haven't felt this joyous in awhile. I mean, I'm normally happy, but this feels like being hugged, warmth and all.

Just because people here are interested in programming does not mean:

  • We don't have any need for love and sex.

  • We haven't had love and sex.

  • We don't know how to talk to women/men (depending on gender and sexuality).

Just because some are not interested in programming doesn't give them some sort of "get into panties (or pants) for free" card. It seems like a couple of people here have that belief. :)

Well the people you've talked to got your back. And the farewell message where God was mentioned is the one message on her voicemail she won't listen to if you don't want her to. So...

That has nothing to do with it. I openly and honestly want God's blessing on her life. Whether she likes me or not.

And I'm going to forewarn some people: This is my thread. Please respect that. If you want to discuss the existence of God, do it in your own thread. Otherwise, I'm just going to request that Matthew remove those associated posts. Thank you.

Though I quoted you it was directed at a lot of people. And I put a smiley in there to brighten it up a bit. Maybe it didn't work? :)

It's still true though. And there are a great number of people here who talks about their wifes and girlfriends. So there has to be some qualitative experience available. We all need someone to love so we all practice these skills during our lives.

Quote:

I don't (and he doesn't) actually. But I still believe you have a better chance with her if she doesn't hear that voicemail as I believe that it was a bit too dramatic. Even if it was said with good intentions.
