Saying happy birthday: An AFC Move?

[antidonjuan]

Is saying "happy birthday" to a pretty girl an AFC move or a warm statement?

 

[Michele l'Arcangelo]

come on, i mean... seriously?

it doesn't matter if it's DJ or not. it's a nice gesture that everyone can appreciate.

just make sure you find out its her birthday in a non-stalkerish way.

This is what I call overthinking

It's not AFC in any way, unless you call her 00:01 to be the very first to congratulate her and bring her flowers the next day as a follow-up.

LOL. You're joking, right?

You should not be asking this question at 126 posts, but at least you have the appropriate user name.

No it's not AFC or DJ, it's called basic manners. It could be a decent way to open a conversation if you branch out from there, but by itself it's unlikely to help you or hurt you.

"Happy birthday.. (smile), try not to fly away with all those balloons you got!"

The less balloons she has, the funnier

Pointless question, and I know you're not serious. You're either stupid or just bored.

Yes, telling her happy birthday is probably the most AFC move you can pull. I mean, if you're going to tell her that, you might as well just give up and become an hero.

lol

There is NOTHING AFC about saying happy birthday.

It's not saying "Happy Birthday," it's how you say it. Your body language , vocal tone and subcommunication has to be strong and you have to be on your A-game.

You also have to calibrate properly

You can get away with saying "Happy B-day" to a HB 10 or HB 9 and even some HB 8s.

But for HB 7s and lower, I recommend the proper "Happy Birthday." They're not as used to Don Juans approaching them as much as HBs 8 and up.

It can be AFC. If you do it over facebook or myspace that is lame. If you send a text that is lame. If you send an email that is lame. If you write a message more that happy birthday that is lame.

So the best way to do it is in person. Just be cool and smooth about it. It's fine if you do it this way. Also, don't make it seem like you went out of your way. AND don't buy her flowers or any of that other sh1t.

btw, the reason I'm against the internet thing is because EVERY loser AFC does it. I mean just look at some of the walls of hot girls. You'll see guys posting lame and retarded comments ALL the time. It makes me cringe when I see that stuff.

In an era in which men lack the ability to pay attention to details...remembering somebody else birthday is always a GREAT gesture.

Damn!

:crackup:

If you say something to get approval - AFC.

If you say VERY NICE something because someone deserves it - Right.

If you say something to make someone happy but don't really want approval- Right!

Be nice often!
