OT: Some advice needed (concerns a girl)

[Susan]

Didn't you ever see When harry met Sally? Actually it's the woman's bible, our secrety society forces us to swear on it at all our ceremonies ;-)

Seriously tho the line in the movie rings true. "Men and women can never be friends because the sex part always gets in the way". Every male friend i've ever had has wanted to pursue it, except if he's gay. You aren't even safe when you get married because then the wife is like "Why do you need to spend so much time with her? Why can't i be your friend"?

Whatever you do don't go see a chick flick on your first date, as much as we want a sensitive guy first impresions of seeing a sissy movie don't bode well - that's something you have to ease into like an old man slipping into a warm bath.  Plus those movies are a trap - because no man will ever love a woman like the guy did in the film and you don't stand a chance at measuring up. Don't take her to see a film like Tomb Raider either, because then we'll just see you as some sexist pig who objectifies women.  Go to a comedy or a thriller. Stay away from the horror gore - if we glance over at you in a dark theater while a girl is getting chainsawed and see a gleam in your eye we probably wont' call you back.

I could divulge alot of secrets to how to win a woman over - secrets passed on from generation to generation amongst women, but then i'd have to kill you ;-)

Don't take movie quotes too seriously, Dave. It is however, more difficult for two people who are about the same age and relative attractiveness not to have at least entertained the thought.

Just don't fart. (:

Whoa...she's flirting with you Dave. (heh..heh..heh)

...And make sure not to overthink things, while you're at it...

The sex thing always getting in the way isn't true by the way, daveblackeye15.   It has grains of truth to it, that saying --  but I can swear to you, *I* haven't wanted, as Harry says, to "bang" every woman I've met.  ;)  

Some women have "great personalities," after all...

>>>>>>Or dancing with the girl that´s the best to find out what she feels for you. The closer you´ll dance with her, the better your chances.

Herein lies a problem, since most guys I know [especially me] cannot dance, so whatever positives lay in the 'getting close' factor, you cannot possibly hope to gain any ground once you decide to show her your own, personal version of Stayin' Alive...

Another tip when attempting to dance: don't get up on the bar and dance.  A mate of mine was at a bar/club where they allow people to dance on the bar, and in his enthusiasm to get up and boogie down, he proceeded to accidentally kick the girl behind the bar in the head, which he didn't actually notice, and kept on dancing...  very funny, granted, but something the girls will be fighting over?  Maybe not... :-P

Well, anyway, I for one am done with the advice: I think we might be [and by 'we' I mean 'me'] getting too involved and quite possibly making a mess of everything!  Let's just leave Dave to his own devices now: we have taught the young padawan all there is to teach, the rest, they say, is up to fate now.

You getting all this Dave? : )

.....Huh? Sorry I was trying on tight black jeans.

I'm sure none of you said anything helpful.

Here, if you answer this this will help me: Should I have two buttons or three buttons unbotten on my shirt? Is three over doing it ? Or will it make me look gay? Is two not enough? I've been worryng about this for days now!!!

(Yes I heard)

[Master Blaster]

Going for that Antonio Banderes look?

[Scottie]

Top two buttons are etiquette on a three button blazer, or just the top button on a two button blazer. When you sit down unbutton them all. Don't forget a napkin in your lap when you eat or you're bound to drop piping hot gravy all over myself. oops.Good choice with a jacket though. It's a good signal to show some class with a blazer.

[Menard]

Dave, have you seen the movie DINER? There is an interesting popcorn sharing technique you can use from it.(heh..heh..heh)

Make sure to add in lots of fake chest hair and a big gold medallion.
