I agree with Ariesnl. You took her out for lunch instead to your room.

I think she got disappointed and decided to mention it. From now on, "my boyfriend" will be in every sentence.

Regarding the "my boyfriend" thing... I have done it before too... Not mentioning "my boyfriend" even though I was happy with him. I just hate talking about my boyfriend right away because then it will make me look like I think that any guy who hangs out with me wants to start a relationship with me or get in my pants. Sooo... Don't listen to these guys.

A few years ago I made the realization that every girl I've ever hung out with was somebody I that liked. Some more than others, but IIRC I liked them all. That doesn't include girls that somehow shared mutual friends; only girls that I consciously chose to hang out with. So maybe you should think that to some extent. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

The "Gaw! what you think every guy is trying to get in your pants or something!? Geez you're so stuck on yourself" defense is merely a reaction to throw off the shame and anxiety we get. We actually do want in your pants, but we try and pretend that we care. Which reminds me of a joke: (Old, I know, but hey, work with me here.) -- |

Don't get me wrong; I'm sincere in my friendship with women, but why would I want to be friends with a girl that I didn't like? -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Just a grammar thing that bugs me, and I've seen it here on a.cc a lot lately. It's try to, not try and!!! If you are going to pretend, there's no need to try. And yes, almost every single guy out there goes out with women (one on one) because they want to score. (Of course not everybody is looking for something instant; there are many who actually do want to have a normal relationship first. But hardly any guy goes out with a woman just because he wants to socialize with her for absolutely no reason.) |

I 2nd martial art. Thats one of the confidence builder that humans use. beat the crap out of some one then go talk to the girl you want to get with. even knowing you can beat the crap out of someone (with out doing it) me... i never make friends with girls. The only way a girl can end up being my friend is if she is the sister of one of my friend. in that case i see her as a sister and nothing more. This is one of my self imposed rules. wow |

Only one of my friends has a sister of dateable age, and I have to say I'd do it in a heartbeat. He's okay with it though, because we both know she'd never go out with me.

I have one older sister, and one older brother, and that's all of my siblings. So far I'm the only one who hasn't made my mom a grandmother.

I wouldn't quite put it like that, although a marital art sure helps build up your confidence which is a good thing when dealing with girls (knowing you can look after yourself is good for your confidence). What I had in mind was that when training, because most martial arts are contact-sports, you break down physical barriers with your ukis (the people you're training with), and in a physical sense, this brings you closer together. Also, because of the intensity of the experience, if you're enjoying it, it brings down the psychological barriers as well. If you've had a good session and the club is a sociable one (everyone goes out for drinks afterwards), your shyness is reduced when in the company of the others. Also, if your club takes part in competitions with other clubs, that leads to further bonding. In the Jiu-Jitsu clubs I've trained in, pairing off amongst the members was common. AE. -- |

As anyone who practices martial arts should know : It's not for beating someone up ... Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Neil Black said: Neil Black Am I right in guessing that you changed your name because you told the girl about what a swell bunch of advice-spouting guys we were, and wanted her to see you in this thread? My other theory is that this is not your real name and you suddenly became paranoid that she might change her opinion of you if she saw you looking for relationship advice on a programming forum. Either way, I've had to change my .sig AE. -- |

I asked Mathew about changing my name before I even met her, he just now got around to doing it.

Beating up someone at 'martial arts class' ( when you are only simulating hits) is A LOT diffrent from a real fight. Fight at <martial arts name> training != real fight. I saw many people that trained martial arts for years get beat up like dogs by those that just know how to use their fists. Its diffrent. In capitalist America bank robs you. |
