It's probably like the others said about how girls are more independent nowadays. Doing that once in a while is fine, but don't do it too often. Quote:

YMMV but in my experience, girls use" haha" a lot when things get a bit awkward. Quote:

I told myself I'm tired of these mind games, but like it seems to be what works. Personally I just didn't want to come off as not having a life and being on my phone all day. | I can just talk to her in person a bit on weekdays so no problems. It's just that she's busy on weekdays and I don't particularly like being an asshole and holding up a line in Timmy's just because I am talking to a girl I like.
In my case, I am the one who gave her the number. She didn't text me until the second night. It sounds silly, but once I figured out how her schedule works, it's understandable.
I am with you. There are some general rules/guidelines I follow, but I try not thinking too hard about it.

. | Lol if my bf doesn't hold doors open for me that nigga knows when he gets home its a take down with a rear naked choke as a finisher but seriously, I'm 5'2 and I kind of have a hard time opening some doors that are heavy. My cousins damn BMW has the heaviest doors I've ever tried to open in my life.
I guess everyone's different but I find the older I get the more old school I become. When I was dating, dude paying on the first date was a given. It's not that I don't have my own money but if you ask me, then you pay. If I ask you out, then I pay.
I dunno how you young guns date now lol. It all seems so unnecessarily complicated?? What happened to just being honest then if they don't like it fuck em?
Being a gentleman shouldn't be done for looks or to save face. The thought of "being a lil bitch" shouldnt even come into mind when it comes down to how to treat a lady lol. It all goes back to showing a woman that you're THE man, you can take care of her and that you fuckin got this.
I guess girls nowadays play games with you dudes based off their personal insecurities and it's not really fair. But I find if you live your life based off your values, you attract people who do the same. If you guys don't want chicks who play games, you can't play them yourself.
The best rule I've ever applied thru all my years of dating: If they wanted to, they would.
If someone doesn't text you back, it's cuz they don't want to. I'd never make an excuse otherwise - just leads to more heartache later on.
I've worked graveyards/all kinds of shift work and I've never curved a guy I was genuinely interested in because of time. If I want him, I'll make the time lol.
Same goes for men. This rule has saved me a lot of time/energy that I would have wasted pining over some dude who was busy mulling over his other options.
Anyways dating truly sucks and my heart goes out to the people still out there in the game lol. Lord knows I'm way too old for that shit hahaha.

Scored a FWB today. Like literally scored one today
Basically met an Asian girl who's a friend of a friend. It escalated quickly when we ended up in bed together some 4 hours after meeting. I told her 'on the count of three, say relationship or fwb'.
We both said fwb and gave a heavy sigh of relief. We then celebrated our mutual choice.
EDIT: I should add this girl is perfectly normal. I bought her coffee at Starbucks and she was totally shocked I paid.

I do it once in awhile, but def not on the first date. it's good to look like a gentleman but you don't want the girl to have an idea that you think she cant do anything by herself
ps, i love the tiramisu at true confections its killa | I usually open the door. I don't do it all the time because im lazy but cmon, its just a door. Cant really think too much about a door.. couldve probably spent the time worrying about what to eat.

Those AXE bodywash commercials are actually true.
---
I knew she was interested 30 minutes into meeting her. She carefully made her intentions more and more known but she was waiting for me to reciprocate at key moments.
We were watching a movie on my couch and she kept looking at me while saying 'I'm just seeing if your're bored and falling asleep!' She fooled me the first time. Gradually she would readjust herself and get closer to me. The moment I put my hand on her leg, She started hugging me and smelling me (hence the AXE bodywash reference). She started talking under her breath and necking me.
She was waiting for me to kiss her on the lips which I did.
IMO she did everything right. I don't think there should be gender roles in this type of thing. I view it more as a double or nothing type scenario. If you're interested, you make your move. If they are not interested, it's not the end of the world especially if you just met. If they do show interest, then you just doubled your experience points and leveled up.
I don't feel the woman should ever have to sit back and let the man do all the communication building. That isn't fair to both people. It takes teamwork to build something.

I got it as part of a gift basket on Christmas last year and I've been using it sparingly ever since. I was joking with my comment hence the
I use proper cologne which funny enough forgot to put on last night. It would have masked the AXE completely.

Tbh up to this point I'm unsure of her intentions. Like instinctively, if she was home alone the message would have been "come over" right? So in theory she's down.
Anyway that was yesterday. Took her out to lunch today, then met up with a buddy, went out to dessert with her again, and went back to her place.
I think the issue at hand isn't her roommate, it's her 6 mo old husky. Very cute, but demands attention, and likes to hump everything.I Her roommate (housemate) is chill tho, he mentioned he'd rather have a modified car than buy a luxury big brand sports car, that's a win!
Not sure where I stand with her, since when I'm around guys, I behave differently than when I'm just with her. Aka more car stuff. That and I had a cigarette with the roommate :/

Came over and wasn't down to do anything, except like blaze, which tbh, I'm not down unless its like 12pm and I have 12 hours to sober up.
We ended up looking at old pics of her and testing my Cantonese LOL. But like not sure if she wants to be fwb, friends, or dating. How do you define a relationship?
