There was an episode of The Man Show where they talked about the top chick-magnet jobs. #1 was firemen, #2 was cops. The hosts gave brief explanations of why women go for those guys, and for cops they said "women like men who can intimidate other guys." I think there's truth to it. Cops...

Nobody wants to appear as if they have nothing to do on a weekend night, so they'll often make something up if necessary. It's something often mentioned on here, some guys are even adamant that first dates must be on weeknights only. It seems to be having the desired effect on you, since you...

Why did she answer his call in the middle of a date with YOU? That would piss me off, especially if she knew it was him calling. I would think that just from the mere annoyance factor she would want to make the calls stop.

Here's another nugget of widom from my gold mine of past failure: girls like the ego boost that comes from having guys want them. This is especially true with girls who are married or have boyfriends. Playful flirting with other men reminds them that they are still desired by guys. The...

I have to agree with those who say it's ok to leave a message. What else are you going to do, call two or three times and then next her if she doesn't answer? Maybe she knows it's you and doesn't want to answer, or maybe she just isn't home. At least by leaving a message you can be more...

I was in a similar situation last year. My advice is not to waste time on girls with boyfriends. It degenerated into a case of one-itis for me, which has thankfully ended. Smooth up on some other girls. If this one does in fact have any latent desire for you, seeing you with other girls...

Sometimes razor nicks get infected and will look like pimples for a few days. Try using aloe vera gel after shaving (I just use the stuff made for sunburns). It soothes the irritated skin and also has some germicidal properties that help prevent infection.

I wouldn't say I have been hoping for too much with this girl. She just happened to be the one that got on the receiving end of some pent up anger at flaky girls in general. I would've handled it differently if I could do it again, but I still think it's good to call them out on their BS from...

You're right DN, I should not have been curt. It showed that it had "gotten to me" which it shouldn't have; at least I should not have allowed it to show. On the other hand, it is difficult to continually encounter rude behavior and NOT make it known that you are irritated by it. I don't even...

As my confidence has increased, I find myself bending the "rules" more and more to suit me. It doesn't mean the concept of limiting your calling isn't a good idea (because it is), but don't get hung up on the specifics. Remember you are a man. You call whenever you damn well feel like it. A...

I met up with this girl a few weeks ago, and she lives near me so I ended up riding back with her. I won't go into details, but I left my coat over at her apartment. I've attempted to set up a dinner date with her a few times. She had expressed an interest in doing so, at least verbally...

You just have to force yourself to do it, and you will realize the anticipation was worse than actually doing it. It's like the first time I rode a rollercoaster. Waiting in line, with all the fear and anticipation building, was much worse than the actual ride. Granted, I still get cold...

For me it depends on the context. If I have invited her out for something specific, then I pay. That's just implied when you invite someone to something, I think. If it's a basic "meet and greet" kind of thing (i.e. a pre-date), then we pay for our own stuff.

What can you say really? She thinks her sh1t doesn't stink. It will be hilarious when she's 40 and gone through a few bad marriages and finding that her one asset, her looks, are now fading. We've all encountered them. Don't take it personally that she's a total *****.

You've already answered your own question. You said you like the guy. A quote comes to mind, I think it's of military origin, "analysis is the mother of all fvckups." Personally I wouldn't be throwing out compliments left and right, but maybe he really does think you're beautiful! Don't...
