Relationship and getting one thread

[The East Marches]

There is one thing I've found that I am nit-picky about. Proper table etiquette when eating in public. *sighs* the world would be much better off if more people knew what it was or how to follow it.

You say this as if getting in a pot sticker fight isn't awesome.

The secret is to listen and make a girl laugh. Once you get her to laugh, you're in. Get it? You're in.

Edit: Also take girls to Olive Garden. For whatever unholy reason, they love that shit. And be a bit of a jerk. A bit. Don't go crazy with it. You want to come off as cocky, even a little douchey, but not too much.

Yeah, Mike is entirely right. Be funny, don't try to restrain yourself by acting like some goody two shoes, but don't be a dick that treats her like garbage either. Most of all, don't be fake, contrary to what so called pick up artists think, girls can see through fakeness, and they don't appreciate it.

Don't do all the talking, crack some jokes, and make fun of people you know the girl has beef with. A lot of girls I know have beef with at least ten other girls.

Never been to Olive Garden with a girl, I don't plan on trying it, I refuse to step foot in that establishment. Fast casual restaurants do tend to work in my experience.

Ketchup squirt-bottles. *nod*

Delicious Chinese food that makes me pray to the porcelain God when I'm finished.

I never take girls to expensive restaurants, and in regards to restaurants, I really couldn't care less about the table manners of the girl, so long as she is polite to the waiters/waitresses, not a glutton, and isn't obnoxious towards the people around us.

That said, I did have a prom date in April, and it was a double date. The other guy decided to take us to some fancy ass place at a country club, with $55 meals and $20 desserts. My date and I just found a kid's menu and split some chicken tenders, since neither of us wanted to pay more than 20 bucks haha.

I know that you're a satanist, but not even the Devil himself would stoop to such levels. What if it gets in your opponent's eye?!

Actually, you're Jim, so damn gramps!

To be honest that doesn't sound attractive at all.
I wouldn't want a guy to act like a douche, that's really off-putting.
Confidence is good, cockiness is not.

Confidence and cockiness go hand and hand. Don't be a douche, sure, but don't be an uptight guy. Make some cheesy compliments and say some stupid shit, its more fun that way, especially early, it breaks the ice.

I recently spent a first date egging someone's house, trust me, it's a great experience.

All Chinese food manages to do that to me.

I can understand the reasoning for not wanting to do so. I prefer to eat at home myself. However, when the boss asks you to dinner with his wife or some other horrible situation like that. It is good to be able to do certain things.... like not chew with your mouth open or be an asshole to everybody around you. I'm internally reeeing as I play back some of my previous experiences in this department. Contrary to popular belief, you can put a price on good manners. I've felt it first hand.

At least you managed to remove yourself from that environment without too much trouble. Good work.

You have a point, I always make an effort to chew with my mouth closed and whatnot, elbows off the table, the basics really, because you gotta put on a good image. If I'm at home, I eat like a barbarian who just conquered Rome.

It was a snobbish environment, man. The friend I did a double date with lives in some rich gated community, so he had no qualms ordering a filet mignon and speaking French to the waiter. But that's another story, and a funny one.

Yes, eating home is another matter entirely.

God damn that is an impressive lack of awareness. Was he a good friend at least?

Then your only hope is money. You're gonna need lots of it.

Well, I'm going to be a graduate student living at poverty line for the next 5 years or so, then a post-doc living below the poverty line. I should have tenure and a standard middle class salary by the time I'm 40, though.

How are you struggling for pussy as a student?
You must be as bad as me.

true but its soooo expensive!

but that's just a matter of using your head, eh? TINDER will get you local girls. its no worse than the bar and no booze necessary.

Sometimes, people are worth more than any given amount of money.

But on the subject of tinder ; is anyone actually on there to look for a relationship, or is it just for people looking for meaningless sex?

In my experience in the UK at uni, the kind of women who match me seem to want a relationship, and the majority of people I see when I swipe seem to as well.

Honestly not seeing the stereotype for "just looking for a fuck".
Speaking to female friends who are searching for guys though...
sweet jesus, sounds terrifying

Along with all the other things I'm deeply self-conscious about, I am terrified how people view my eating habits.
Doesn't help that I'm a human dustcart to boot and will be the "you gonna finish that" guy.

That's helpful, mate. Thanks. It's just the reputation that tinder has to me. I mean, I've never used it before.

But I shall give it a try.

I know the article is about "sex hookup", but the advice is decent, if basic, for general chatting and flirting on Tinder.
http://www.tinderseduction.com/what-to- ... -messages/

If you do a sport (or interesting hobby), I'd say use a picture of you playing that sport (or interesting hobby) as your main profile picture. Tinder lets you choose a bunch of Facebook profile pictures (for it links directly to your FB account), and the "main" one will be the one people see when they're swiping. It needs to stand out to them.
Then just add a few lines for a bio. Basic, try and be funny, give something they can ask or flirt over.

[Black Mars]

Just talk to women, regardless if they are attractive or not. Love grows from itself, relationships develop. Some become friendship, some become one-sided love, others become common interest.

That's a relationship, a bound between two people. Just talk, experience, be yourself, don't make yourself stressed, let it flow.

I had a long distance relationship for two years, I learned that pushing a relationship doesn't work. Yes, we loved each other, but the real trust never developed, hence.

[Orberstine]

It's just like the sims! Talk, hug, play, gesture, and you'll be married with kids on the way before the next morning.

Thanks for the advice. I hope it's helpful. I'm not sure I have any interesting hobbies and if I do then I sure don't have a good photo of me doing it. But I think I know what pic I'll use anyway.

I tried internet dating couple of times. Christ the meeting always tended to be awkward as hell.

So I'm in love with a transgender person.
Sexually female, but gender is male, and wants to get surgery to be a guy eventually, and while I'm quite Pro-LGBT, I'm still very straight.. He's in his early teens(Early High School), but I'm still worried. We broke up over this(It was mutual though), but we're still obsessed with each other and talk to each other constantly.
He messages me a lot, and I message him back a lot and say "I love you" and we both mention that we're soul mates a lot and act somewhat romantic despite having officially broken up. He may also be getting a boyfriend soon, so I'm worried about that. though I'm sure if I was gay, there'd be no contest of who he'd choose.
I know this may be bordering the line between girl and guy advice, but, it's a rock solid obstacle in an otherwise perfect relationship.
So...advice?
