Always keep in mind, kids: what she can't remember, she can't testify to.

I am not really interseted in picking girls up, so a whole lot of those aren't interesting to me. Maybe if I was striking out a lot, they would be.

My general issue is with meeting girls, both in general and of the sort I find interesting. For the most part, my friends don't introduce me to women. And also, to be honest, but despite the fact that they are my friends and I love them, based on their tastes I doubt if I would find the women they introduce me to to be that interesting.

Also, I think that women that I am interested in is a pretty rare thing. I mostly interested in the active (phsyically), intellectual (which is different from intelligent), driven (positive goals and working towards them), cultured (art, music, etc.. I really don't like Jerry Springer), religious (serious about it) type.

Jon, I know this sounds "easier said than done," but the first thing you need to do is spend time where that kind of woman spends time. The second thing is to make contact while you're there. Don't look for all of those traits at once. Look for someone who has one or two and may have the others, then spend time with her to find out.

Hera,

That's a lot of **** to worry about just to get a woman. Maybe if you were trying to lay as many women as possible all that would be necessary.

Just remember what Seinfeld said, "Men, as a group, get more women than any other group operating anywhere." It's just not that hard.

Yeah go where the woman with the traits you're lookin for hang out. The most successful pick up lines are the ones women use on men.

But in general I'll agree that having a female wingman works the best.

Maybe think about using the interweb, there are lots of dating sites out there, you'd have to do some research about which one was right for you. But there's some merit in starting a conversation with a woman on the basis that you are on a dating site and looking for a relationship. Plus you can get to know each other a bit. Also, you might be surprised that you get on better with women who you don't think you'd get on with better than you think you would.

I would say the only downside with online dating is relationships can seem much deeper than they would if you'd met face to face, so if you like someone consider seeing them soon. Plus you can't tell if you'll actually fancy someone in the flesh.

Blaupanzer's tip about churches isn't a bad one.

Anyway, make it known to people that you are after a relationship and you'll be surprised how much people like matchmaking.

I always figured you as the kind of douche who would embrace the stupid trend toward high-end vodkas while not being able to spell Ketel One.

[heinz_1966]

Your style is quite amusing. Entertaining story.

[deackatera]

...I don't think the moral of Floyd's story is what he suggests it might be...

To expand: he's already "hit it off" well enough with the girl to get her number and meet again. Could have probably gotten some action if he'd not gone the stupid route.

[HotboTgameR]

It's when you gaze at her, and see three eyes. And realise you put the rohypnol in the wrong glass.

[beriarele]

I have never heard of that one before. Heraclitus, you are my new guru!
When can I join your posse?

[MpNelQTU]

This would involve not looking at their breasts, so I see no value in it.

[ultimda horaf]

I'm copying and pasting this from my Facebook page. It somehow seems appropriate to this thread, as well as the myriad other threads on this topic. Yes, I am the person in the story, and yes, it's 100% true. This, my friends, is how to approach a first date

Fun story, David Floyd. I think you should give it another shot (so to speak) with her, to let her see your "not shitfaced from the get-go" side.

[Caluabdum]

A bit off-topic, but since this board abounds with sex/girls/fetish-threads, I'll not make another one...

I met this girl 1,5 week ago. Problem is she's French, and lives in Geneva right now. However she's the best friend of the girl one of my best friends is dating with.

Anyways, we kissed rather intensely before she had to depart, and contrary to my normal behaviour (I'm usually a cold-blooded heartless bastard) I'm somewhat annoyed she's gone. We're having some chit-chat via facebook now (oh yes), so she's causing me to think of her all the time. But as this fait divers is doomed to fail, I am sure to meet her again in the future, every few months or so. I'm sure it'll be very awkward. Don't know what to do or how to respond now.

Advice?

What was that bit about fat divers again?

[juidizHusw]

Tucker Max is full of **** and so are you.

[clubcughSheet]

It's not really the story that makes me suspicious. It's your obvious personality flaws (douche, thief) that make me not trust you.

[jesyflowers]

So, then, your point is that my stories are probably true

No, my point is that being a liar is correlated with other personality flaws like being a douche and a thief. As such, I'm betting that the probability that your story is not true is higher than the probability that it is.

[Timoxari]

Hey, if you're going to be a liar, you might as well go for the gold.
