    I agree with Manny, guys are stupid sometimes. Ok, often. Don't play games, don't give us nebulous signs to pick up on, just tell us if you're interested or not. Our egos can handle rejection (well, most of us), it's the wasted time because women don't want to hurt our feelings or because they want to take the easy way out that's annoying sometimes.

    On a related note, for guys that are shy about going up to women, my friends and I have what we call "the bulldozer".

    The Bulldozer can be any guy/gal that is notorious for going up and talking to anyone. If you have a friend like this, just follow him/her up and be his backup.

    Half the time, the bulldozer guy doesn't get the girl he talks to, you do.

    Hopefully you aren't 18 or you will have plenty of time to come up with all sorts of other formulas

    There's a 2 year age range allowed under Texas law, it's not statutory between an 18-year-old and a 16-year-old (18/2 + 7).

    I don't think there's an age limit...I mean, jail bait, of course limits it, but if you get along with someone, and there's mutual attraction and chemistry, does it really matter...I don't think so...

    However, along the course of a relationship, there may be "age" gaps for conversation, experience, etc. that may make one of the people re-think the situation...

    BTW, I just saw that movie "Love Actually" and it was great...goes to show you, no matter how old or young you are, if its right, its right...

    Yes, this is very effective. I have a friend that always gets sh1tfaced and goes up to women at the end of the night. After he goes up and makes an ass out of himself I follow up by apologizing for my friend and then introduce myself. Works great.

    Here is a site with some pretty humurous stuff on picking up women. http://www.pickupguide.com/

    As far as what I prefer on age, I'm 28 and will date anyone from 21-35. She would have to be pretty amazing for me to deviate from that range.

    i'm 23 and am currently dating an 18 year old freshman. never thought i could do it since most 18 year old sorority girls are some of the most annoying creatures on earth, but she's actually quite mature so we get along real well. and she's smoking hot, which is always a plus.

    she always gives me **** about our age gap, jokingly of course. doesn't bother me all that much, at least not anymore.

    Are you sure about that? I recall Statutory rape happening to any girl under 17, regardless of the boys age.

    I'm just kidding. I love engineers and minored in structural engineering.

    But hang out with a lot of ee's and software engineers but more often than not the Dilbert stereotype applies. I mean
    sexy engineer isn't something you hear often

    actually, i think THOSE particular 5 years is a big difference. regardless, if it works it works. i know the guy i dated, like i said, obsessed abt being 5 yrs older and to me, it got really annoying. i guess b/c i didn't think it was a big deal.

    haha! well, first off, i'm a mechanical engineer so i don't have the EE stereotype against me. and if you went to UT, you'd be rather surprised by some of the ME girls there. and there are the others might make you wanna crawl into a hole.

    So, if I were 12, I shouldn't go out with anyone younger than 13?

    My wife is 1 month younger than me and I don't know if I can take it much longer. She's very immature. We're at completely different places in our lives.

    Let me guess..

    Your dad owns a chain of liquor stores, you're a nymphomaniac, you cook, and you have handlebars growing out of your head...? right?

    I know about that. I have a friend with the worst pickup lines. IE "Do you like Martina McBride" at a Jazz Bar and the rest of us come off as suave as James Bond in comparison.

    A twist on the bulldozer was I had a friend who is very outgoing and would do the rounds talking to people when he was very drunk. The twist was that he really loved his fiancee and he would talk to women about his fiancee. So he would handle breaking the ice and the women would be more comfortable than having some lecherous guy come on hitting on them that would reflect on you just being this committed guys guide.
