Ok, now I need a ton of advice so let me begin. Ok so I called Lin earlier today she wasnt there, but I tried calling again, so her friend on her phone calls me back and says "this is her friend so so Lin just wanted me to tell you I dont have to call her all the time" I asked her if shes mad at me and her friend said she really isnt that mad. So I said ok and told her to have Lin call me back. They were all drinking in the background joking around and such. SO anyways Lindsay calls me back a couple minutes later. She actually called me this time. She said how I was doing and such I said fine and all. She told me I called her 3 times today which is not true. I only called her once. You know women tend to make things bigger then it sounds lol Anyways she was honest with me this time. She told me Im a nice guy and all, but she doesnt want to be boyfriend girlfriend. She said that she likes me as a friend of hers and all but she doesnt want to be bf, gf with me. She told me shes not my type and Im the total opposite of her. I asked her why she says that and she said cause shes into sports. Btw Ive told her before I LOVE hockey which you can tell by my avatar. Since shes a soccer gal I assume she means boys that play sports. I told her what I thought about her and that shes a pretty girl and I like her personality and all. I asked her if she could just be honest with me and upfront about why she doesnt like me in that way and she just said I wouldnt like her and that Im the total opposite. She said that we can talk at work and still be friends, but I asked her if she wanted to go hang out and she considers it dating and shes not really looking for that. So she calls me back a few mins later to chat a little more and she told me one of her college soccer friends who goes to another college now likes me and thinks Im cute guy, but us shy to talk to me and she said I should give her a call and talk to her cause she said she would be more my type so she gave me her number. She told me I should find myself another girl. So heres the question. I know alot of people post similar stuff on here about how women tell a guy they just want to be friends. I mean by friends that kinda hurts cause heres a single, pretty looking gal who says we can be friends and such, but we cant be romantic. This is almost more painful then getting flat out rejected and that women slapping you in the face cause shes so close yet so far. So by being friends does that mean maybe sometime in the future she would go out with me if I can somehow make the friendship closer? I read on alot of sites that being friends wfirst is good. So should I give her friend a call? Her friend is cute and all, but I think Lin is prettier. her friend is a nice person too and very polite young lady. Im glad she threw it all out at me tonight and was honest with me. She said she wasnt mad but calling her up at school said was creeping her out a bit. I asked her why when I only called her a few times the past month. She said she doesnt really know why, but said I smotherd her at work, and by calling her and she felt pressures she said at work it was borderline harassment almost. Why didnt she tell me all this before face to face? Could it be cause she didnt want to hurt my feelings? Cause even tonight when I asked her to be honest to me she hesitated a little. Also her friend that likes me even told Lindsay that Im a nice guy and she could give me a shot. Is it nice on Lindsays part that she told me about her friend? If her friend likes me should I give her a call then? I mean I feel sad right now, but at the same time glad I got a upfront awnser. Im just puzzled why she said shes not my type and Im not hers? People say Im a nice guy yet I have no luck,.
Shes away for college right now couple hours north so I wont see her at work till the summer at least.

first off, you're a "nice guy" .... not good.
secondly, don't get so hooked on this girl that you develop one-itus.

thirdly: read the DJ Bible and Nice Guys & Jerks and go through the boot camp. That should help you out. I personally read David DeAngelo's book Double Your Dating to learn about how to be with women, but there is some great stuff in the DJ Bible that isn't in DYD and the other stuff will elaberate on it.

Good god. You're going to get ripped apart posting this. Please please go through and start reading some of the articles in DJ bible section. Everything you need to know is in there. Then if you still have questions come ask.

You said you only called her once but wait,
"Ok so I called Lin earlier today she wasnt there, but I tried calling again..." You obvisouly called her twice which was a mistake. And for God's sake do not ask out her roommate. If they're all around drinking and stuff when you call and she's having her roommate tell you not to call so much I'm 99% sure the roommate isn't interested either. Start over. Read the DJ bible from the beginning. You have a lot to learn.

She doesn't desire you - she is being blunt with you - leave her alone - you look desperate - never ask a girl "Why?" because it doesn't matter, it will not change her answer nor will it soothe your rejection!!!

I didnt ask her roomate out lol. Im in Stl and shes like um over 100 odd something miles away lol. her roomate called me and said she doesnt want me calling her so much. I told her roomate to have her call me back which Lin did a few minutes later. I dont undestand how that could creep someone out just calling to see how they are doing.

At first when I asked her out at work she sounded interested, and I bought her a 20 dollar gift card for xmas a few days after asking her out. She liked it and gave me a hug. She then said I was being too pushy with her asking her out everyday. I mean she always started then using excuses why she was busy and such. I mean she was trying to let me down easy I think but didnt want to hurt my feelings and was hoping Id take the hint

We're not talking about just "someone" though. We're talking about women. They tend to operate in strange ways leaving men with a confused look on their face.
Thus the creation of this board.

you bought her a $20 gift card??? that's a pretty big gift for anywomen, really. the $20 part is. maybe a $.50 stick of gum if you've already been dating her. But spending $20 on a someone that you haven't even been going out with.... bad... bad...
It's very very rare that I give any woman a gift. Much less, a $20 gift.
You giving that to her when you're not even dating, comes off as majorly desperate...let me express the majorly part here, BIG TIME HUGELY LARGELY ALMOST OBSESIVELY DESPERATE

oh, more on my lasty post. You would think that buying women things would have a positive effect, it actually has a negative effect. It says to the woman that you aren't comfortable that you would be enough for her, that you're not confident that she will like you for you, so you have to buy her attention with gifts.

Could that be why she acted kinda shy when she opend it and saw it? She gave me a hug before she opened the card. When she open it she was like "whats this" She said "You really didnt have to do this for me you know" Could that be why she thought I was smothering her?

Shes up at Quincy so she only works summers and xmas break.. I kinda asked her out everyday while she was at work back in Dec but that was because I was just trying to remind her. Also she doesnt like giving her number out. I asked her and shes like "I'll call you" so I went and got her cell num from someone else. I called her once on it while she was down and she wasnt that mean when I called her on it. When she went back to school last month I called her once every other week. I decided to give her a call yesterday. I didnt call her that much so she went overboard I think. She did call me back yesterday and we talked about a half hour in total. She was pretty open and honest with me which Im glad she sacked up and told me her feelings. At the same time I was disappointed though. Here is a nice gal, pretty and all yet she wont be my girlfriend.

You put the cart before the horse. In other words, she did not give you any affection worthy of such a gift so soon.

If she is going to college, you really don't have a chance. She is going to meet alot of new people etc.

Maybe so. She doesnt date though. Dont ask me why. Shes only had one bf and that was awhile back. Her friends told me the same thing as well as she did.

if she doesn't give you her number, next! her. Say, "whatever" Having the "I'm not even interested then" attitude really helps. Maybe not with her, but being able to do that because you know there are a ton of other women around really affects things. NEVER NEVER NEVER ask another person for her number, this comes off as desperate.

Seriously, I read the DJ Bible, or better yet read: The six week entire bible reading guide you don't have to do it all at once, this version of the DJB will give it to you slowly.

You may be a hockey player, but you're acting like a ballerina. You got a lot of work to do. Toughen up! Stop being a wuss when it comes to women. Maybe you're a victim of feminist brainwashing, maybe you were just born like this.....but whatever it is, you have to change this now if you're going to have any hope at a happy relationship. This is the first time I've EVER said this as advice, but damn you REALLY have to read the DJ bible. You have to read some of the articles on this site as well. You have to start from the bottom and work your way up.
