I really thought all the right signs were there as well... bah! I refer once again to the thread title...

Come on Rhyf...
Its exam time. The chick needs to study and pass/excel it. She doesn't have time to a time-consuming, storming, passionate relationship until after the exam.
Expect her to invite you out when the exam is over.

I have had girlfriends putting our relationship on "hold" during exams. Frustrating... but the one I am thinking of became a physics major/scientist.

Absolutely, and falling in love really bad during exam time is a really bad thing even if falling in love in general is a very good thing.
In the end it's about bringing both to a successful conclusion I think and as such the exams may require some distance, if just for a while.

Listen to the wisdom of Sigurd.

idk though, one of the things we were talking about is how we don't even have much left to do in terms of Uni work/exams. Most of the stuff this year was coursework and its all done.

Well, I don't assume that each and every of her decisions revolves around you, at least not yet.

Also patience can pay off, there's no guarantee but so far it may not be worth clinging to her anyway, I mean how well do you know her?

If I've learned anything, anything at all from the past 3 months about women, it is this.

Flattery (as long as you honestly mean it) will get you anywhere. Making her feel good will get you anywhere. Regardless of the situation.

Bugger, I’m actually losing sleep over this one.

Yes. yes it will. You cannot fade on that. That is the essence of truth.

I mean, flattery is a nasty word, but it was the first word that came to mind.


heart-felt compliments to her, her personality, and her looks, will always warm her heart towards you. when I do it, it's not conciously, but I do do it, I can't deny.

In horrid B grade comidies maybe

So in hindsight, I think maybe you should've just waited a couple weeks and then asked her if she had gotten her new phone yet. But on the other hand, it was a pretty lame excuse, I mean a few weeks is actually sort of a long time, why couldn't she have given you her number and then given you the new one when she got a new phone? Maybe she was telling the truth, she just wasn't thinking things through all the way and she just blurted out "there's really no point...". I know I've done that before.

I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You never know when someone is telling the truth and when they are lying, the best thing you can do is have confidence in yourself and take what they say as the truth until they give you reason to believe otherwise.

It sounds like the girl is interested in you, and even if she's not you have a good opportunity to make friends with her so either way you win. The next time you see her you should definitely ask her out to dinner or something, maybe you can say it's to celebrate the end of the class or something

I hope my lame advice helps and it's not "friend zone" advice this time

There is no shame in complimenting someone you are fond of. If she is attactive and you say so, what is the harm in that? I fail to agree with those who say you should play the dominant role in a relationship and train your partner to follow you by a leash. Doesn't everyone like to be flattered, sinceridly, male or female?

Complimenzt/=/ using them as *point earners* to get women

She, like you, is a person Constant compliments come off as needy, insecure, and sappy

And I'm not neccesarily a fan of PUA or "negging" although some of it has merit

I am a fan of taking your balls out from under the sink though, Be asseritive and confident. Know what you want and take it

We all have our own techniques I guess. I suppose I like to show respect and appreciation in the form of a compliment.

Showing affection through a compliment is fine, but meeting a girl and then showering her with sappy b grade cliches is stupid. Compliments should also come off as confident most boys come off as sniveling half men when they give a compliment in hopes the girl will bed him

This of course all stems from being comfortable in your own skin

I could write a book on the topic esp on this train wreck of a forum (when it comes to women) These threads are physically painful to read

I never said to propose marriage on the first date. But as the relationship develops, I see no problem with exposing oneself a bit. I've drawn quite a few women in with this 'gamble'. I grew to love them for it.

Neither do I and I agree

Complimenting a woman to get here attention is ok AS LONG as it comes from a place of confidence and not neediness

Just by reading PIs posts I know exactly whats happening, the insecurity is palpable

Well I won't deny I'm an idiot, but at the end of the day I did what I could. I asked her out, what more could I do (apart from doing it about a year earlier, lol)?

Believe it or not, but people came toghether and made children in the days before it was possible to ask girl questions on teh intrawebz. You can do it completely on your own - perhaps that's even the better solution.

The man has a point, talking about it won’t get you anywhere.

Stop over analyzing, you act like this will be the only woman who will ever consider you for face sitting status. Stop listening to people who treat interaction with women as rocket science.

No, no, no,it’s far more complex than that.

...and I used to think that oral sex was talking about it and aural sex was hearing all about it!

*Lights pipe to give an aura of wisdom, takes a few puffs*

Here's a suggestion:

*Takes pipe out of mouth to add to the mystique*

Get one of your mates to set you up for a blind date.

*Puts pipe back into mouth and takes a final puff to complete the illusion*

Can somebody please explain to me why I saw and heard this as if Ralph Brown was doing it, in a rocking chair?



*For those of you unaware, Ralph Brown was the guy in Waynes World 2 who told the story about Ozzy and the Tiger in the Candy shop.

I was going for something along the lines of Tony Benn (Who I met a few weeka go and I got my picture with him SO AWESOME), so I honestly have no idea.
