A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
When things seem to be proceeding well with a girl/woman, and she asks you, "What do you want?" or "What are your intentions?", how do you answer that question?

I usually come back with, "I wasn't aware I had any intentions at ALL." but I'm not sure if this is the best answer to the question.

At this point, what are they looking to hear? And how would YOU respond?

I always reply with something sarcastic. C & F if you will...

"What are my intentions? Wild animal sex! What are your intentions?"

Next time I get that, I'm just going to break into that one song...

"What do you want?"

"I wanna feel you from the inside...
I wanna f--k you like an animal
You get me closer to God!"

:D

I'm just not sure what they're looking for. If you tell them you wanna bang, either directly or with a clever innuendo (James Bond style) is that what they wanna hear, so they can transfer their sexuality on to you and not feel guilty? Will that scare them off (the whole "player" thing)? I know you can't tell them you wanna marry them, unless you do it in a C&F way.

I'm also not sure if telling them you had NO intentions either way makes them feel more comfortable, or if it makes you look less sexual.

Beats the hell outta me...I'll have to experiment with this more.

I just wanted to see what you guys did and how it worked.

Another one of those stupid 'tests' women give out. They know what we want. I think the best way is to do heavy EC and a smile, dont say a word. :D

What's the timespan on this? All these tries at mystery have been cute so far, but there does come a point where "he's mysterious" becomes "I think he's lying to me because he won't tell me anything about himself."

In the Beginning, I'd fire back with my tried-and-true, "That's Top Secret." Now, though, it's far more manly to flat-out tell her what I want and how and when I intend to get it.

Of course, I fully intend to end up as a professional caveman, but I'm sure your guys' goals and aspirations could be just as masculine ;)

Difficult. The only time this happened to me, back in my AFC days, I replied something like 'well I really like you and want to keep on seeing you'. She seemed pleased and said she agreed, but I got dumped a few days later.

I suppose you have to second guess what SHE wants. If she's losing IL, and you say you really like her, she'll probably use it as a reason for dumping you. If she really likes you and you say, or give the impression that you don't care much for her, she MIGHT use that as a reason to dump you but it's not very likely - so I'd say the best thing is to be non-committal but still positive. That way you keep her guessing until she has to say she loves you first, like the DJ bible instructs.

Just had this convo yesterday. My response is always "I haven't put a ceiling or a floor on this relationship. I don't like to rush, because when you rush you make mistakes. We could be married and in love forever or we could be people who say hello whenever we bump into each other in the street. Anything can happen lets just wait and see. Just don't start acting all crazy and Ill keep you around for a little while." Then i start laughing. :)

That response usually works, if she needs more shes insecure and probably needs to be cut from my team.

Her: What do you want?
You: Interesting question, what's on the menu?
