Last week was a nice day indeed. This girl I talk to on occasion before class dressed up nicely, walked to her desk, put her purse and books down and did this hair flip and smile thing directly at me and I'm still oogling over it. I've heeded the advice of two of my friends on this. Both women. One said she's done the hair flip smile at someone she didn't necessarily liked but did it just to get a reaction from the guy she did it too, just to see if she "had it". The other said she's only given those gestures to guys she actually really liked. I'm torn on both perspectives sadly, but am going to ask her out on Wednesday. I figure the worst thing that could happen is she'll say no. Question to the ladies? What's your opinions on the hair flip smile thing? And should I go all out on the dress attire on the day I ask her out? If it helps she seems like a pretty quiet person, not an all out attention w****. But then again the friend that told me she's done the same hair flip smile thing just to get a reaction from guys isn't an attention w**** either. Ah never thought I'd be a victim of sharing tidbits of my personal life on an internet forum. Was bound to happen anyway
It doesn't matter what the hair flip meant. If you like her ask her if she wants to go have lunch or a drink or go hang out with you and your friends one weekend. You are right the worse she could say is no, which would have the same effect as not asking her.
London- Just ask her out - and see what happens. If she blows you off just shrug your shoulders and say "cool, see ya later". Then dont ever talk to her again.
All I know is be careful where you are looking for girls. You don't fine Neiman Marcus when shopping at Wal-Mart.
I prefer Wal Mart girls. They are happy when you are poor and ecstatic when you get money. I like a girl who doesn't expect a coach purse or miki moto earings every birthday, christmas... can you tell I am speaking from experience.... lord I hate high maintenance girls.
Or if she is particularly rude in her rejection, utilize the internet and acquire her phone number anyway, then just email it to Nomar.
Just like women know we are trying to bang them, men should know that women are trying to use them for money, alcohol and attention. It is a delicate waltz that can only be mastered by the patient, the true of heart, and the lucky.
The trick is to get the girl to ask YOU out. Once that is accomplished, you hold all the cards, and her emotional and mental makeup can be shaped like clay as you see fit. Muhahaha.
Or maybe it's you thinking you are too good to use the reply with quote feature like the rest of us lowly mortal posters. If you knew the answer to your question, why'd you ask it? Have to say that I have been kind of wondering about this. Why would anyone go through the effort of NOT using that. Trying to be special or what is it? Just curious. Perhaps... A) Because when you're reading a whole thread, it's easy to hit "Post Reply" at the bottom. B) If I'm replying to multiple people (like this post), who would I use the reply feature on? You? Nomar? Should I create a separate reply for each post? C) If I only want to reply to a specific portion of the post, it's more of a pain to delete the excess quote. If I want to reply to individual parts of the post, it's a pain to separate out the quotes. D) If you use HTML all the time, it's just easier to add < b >'s to quote. Or maybe it's because we want to be special. Yes, that's it. It couldn't be that it's easier and more convenient or anything like that.
Someone being a little sensitive today, huh? ... It's just confusing because sometimes it is not immediately clear if you are just trying to emphasize something (most people use the "bold" feature for that) or if you are quoting, that's all. No reason to get your feelings hurt, junior .
I hope this is a female talking. With the nick "sweetie", I hope i am not making an @$$ out of myself.
GIRLS! (to do the dishes) GIRLS! (to clean up my room) GIRLS! (to do the laundry) GIRLS! (and in the bathroom)
Unless you're a REALLY hot guy, but that's like only .01% of the population. Even then the girl would have to be real horny for them to not have control, damn! What a great thread.
From the female perspective, it doesn't feel like we hold all the cards at all. When it comes to deciding whether y'all get laid, with your all-consuming male sex drive, OK, maybe we have that power. We know we can wear certain clothes or show you certain body parts and get guaranteed attention. We can't really empathize with why that works. Yes, some girls abuse that power. It's not very nice. After all, you (guys) have a lot of power over us emotionally, since we're pretty sensitive and like to at least think there's some sort of connection between people that's not just physical. If a guy figures out how to manipulate those female emotions, he can hit the jackpot, but that's not very nice either. In terms of building the kind of relationships we want to build, we don't hold "all the cards" at all. Sure, maybe we hold some cards relating to casual sex, but that's because we don't have that same level of hormones. To so many guys, though, we're nothing but the sum of our appearance - whether we're "hot" or not. Some of this we can control, but a lot we can't. And there's the ability to manipulate us emotionally just so you can get a piece of what you want. Life isn't fair for us either...
