I think you just nailed it, Bro. I added emphasis to the "knowing" part.

Also, I forgot this part: Someone will probably say to just ask her out and put the whole matter to rest. The problem is, if she shoots me down, I DO NOT need to be made a laughing stock around here. No, I'm not terrified of rejection, but this is my workplace and a large part of my social...

A woman I work with. Her modus operandi: 1. In essence, make a guy think that she has a crush on him, or at least a serious interest, then shoot him down if he ever makes a move. Her usual target is a guy she senses has low self-esteem, or is needy, etc.... 2. Goes around afterwards...

That requires alchohol.

If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it." :D

Here is something I've been thinking about a lot lately and I wanted to get it off my chest in the hope that it might help someone. Back in my clueless days, I would get so worked up over a girl. You know, classic one-itis. I would dream about her, romanticize about her, put her on the...

By the way, take it from me and others who have been down this path: GET OVER THESE "FEELINGS" RIGHT NOW!!!!! You'll be glad you did. *If* she were to reciprocate in a positive way (which I seriously doubt), you can allow yourself to have these "feelings" later after you have her secured.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're officially and permanently in what we call the "Friends Zone." Few have ever escaped this. All of the symptoms are there: She unloads on you about her love life. You give her advice. Would it be safe to say that you pay for the...

In short, you did the right thing. As someone else said, she's not your problem anymore. This is like a stranger off the street asking for the same thing.

A big part of this problem is cultural. Not only are little girls raised with the fairy tales about the handsome prince who will sweep her off her feet and take her away, but there is also the media to contend with. The typical teenage (and other) movie script goes like this: Boy meets...

One key thing: Demonstrate to her that you're extremely NON-judgmental. Express views that show that you don't think less of anyone for their sexual behavior, etc...

Um.... I believe that's exactly what I said...... :confused:

Frivolousz21, By all means, go for it. As you said, that magic feeling of being loved doesn't come along every day, so screw whatever some "Internet Don Juan" thinks. Sure, it's a different lifestyle than living for sex, but life is more than sex. In the LTR's I've had in the past, including...

Agreed, and this applies to much more in life than just women. I can't tell you how it irritates me to hear someone say, "you couldn't do _______" or "you aren't capable of _______." People like that can kiss my a$$.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Any other widowers here? I totally agree. Believe it or not, I've actually had this conversation with my former inlaws (her parents), and they also agree that she wouldn't expect me to be alone for the rest of my life. Plus, my boys don't need a dad who is in permanent...

Thanks to everyone who replied. I hate to see you folks argue over this. Everyone has their own opinions and I respect them all, whether I agree or not. This is a bit of a complex matter. There is a woman I'm interested in (one-itis, whatever :rolleyes: ), but..... I honestly don't know if...

As several on here have said repeatedly, notably Pook and Gunwitch, use your common sense!!!!! Screw the "DJ rules." If the girl wasn't giving you sh!t tests or playing any mind games, then what exactly was the problem? You know what I would do if I were you? Apologize to her. Anyone who...

I'm still a bit of a newbie myself, but here goes: Generally speaking, a girl that likes you enough to sleep with you will also like you enough to want an emotional relationship. Think about it; she had enough of the required emotional attachment to want to be with you. For a woman, sex is...

Thanks for the input and, no, you aren't being too harsh. In fact, you're absolutely right. I just happen to be the victim of a minor case of one-itis right now. Then again, the woman I have this one-itis for is in her early 30's and everyone says that she has never had a serious relationship. I...

No problem. It was easy enough to miss. Trust me, I was always 100% faithful to my wife and would still be if she had lived. I'm not looking for any false hope here, but honest opinions about this situation. From what I understand, this woman is ready for someone in her life and I have feelings...
