    You're going to die alone and a virgin with that mindset lol
    Actually, I lost my virginity after a woman propositioned me.

    Also, does dying alone really matter? Is dying with someone next to you really going to make a difference, especially when they are probably going to be in a depressed and pessimistic mood?

    In my experience she will drop you a very strong hint.
    If she has any kind of spine then she will do the asking. 'Dropping hints' is childish and should not be responded to. We might as well all mime rather than speak.

    But that would only work out if every guy in the world had that mindset. Unfortunately most don't, and eventually another guy will ask that girl out, while you stand there feeling dejected lol.
    Why would I feel dejected?

    Let the other guy ask that girl out. As I said - if she doesn't ask, she doesn't get. Why should it be handed to her on a plate?

    err let me know how that works out for you
    It is working out very well. I do not have to go out of my way to talk to a woman.

    In an ideal world you would be right. Why should it be handed to her on a silver platter?

    But the problem is that in reality it could be handed to her in that way. Just not from you! But from another guy, and until you find a girl that has no other options apart from yourself, this theory of yours is unlikely to work out.

    Why should it be handed to you on a plate?

    Not trying to be inflammatory, but things should work both ways

    Good luck in life then,

    I'd hate to be with a woman just by chance, kind of sucks. Oh we met at a reading club, sucks lmao
    What's wrong with meeting up in a reading club? What's wrong with meeting someone by chance?

    If someone else wants to clamour for her attention and hand it to her on a plate then that is his/her choice and his/her problem.

    I still don't understand why we should all do the same thing. Not all of us require validation from some woman.

    Some of us aren't so lucky as to have it handed to us.

    Fair enough, just seemed implied.

    Yeah, I know.

    I'm not really looking at meeting any women at the moment. Same bs every time and I'm tired of going through it.
    You've got a negative attitude. That's what's stopping you.

    Because asking a woman out equates to seeking validation? OK then :erm:

    I have a slightly off topic question
    I feel like im 13 again saying this but

    once a guy tells you he's interested and you tell them you're interested back, why do they all of a sudden STOP talking to the girl?

    I thought it was just a one off but this has happened on more then 3 occasion, and I don't want to continuously text the guy because I don't want to come across as a stalker. Are they just shy or ?

    mind = blown
    I've never done this, but I know a friend who has. Honestly, it's not because they've stopped liking you (although the thrill may have died a little bit because of the whole 'chase' stuff..) but in this case just because it's a bit awkward. If the guy isn't confident enough to ask you out at that point he might just quit (this is what my friend did- I have no idea why) or he's found someone else.

    Though tbh I agree, it's stupid and I wouldn't ever do it.

    Why you so scared of rejection? Rejection is a good thing, means you're THAT much closer to a girl saying yes. Its how life works, same is applicable to a sales role at work, the more times you get rejected the more sales you'll end up making. Its a numbers game....

    Also, quiet =/=shy..............???

    I disagree. Yes, some people are naturally quiet and prefer their own company. But on the contrary this simply could be because they're shy and don't even want to CONTEMPLATE putting themselves in a situation which would make them feel uncomfortable. What do you guys think?
    Well you're wrong.

    Why do you even care if some people are shy or dont like social situations anyway? I bet you are the sort of cretin who badgers friends into dancing in nightclubs even though you know full well they absolutely hate it.

    But presumably she is equally capable of doing the asking. If she isn't asking, then it betrays a lack of interest, or a lack of willingness to do so.
