What to do when girl you like is going out with someone else ?

Over the past 2 years I have liked two different girls in relationships . Mindful of that, I didnt say anything to them yet they both broke up with their old boyfriends and started dating other guys, I had like 0 window to say anything.

WTF am I doing wrong ?? It seems every girl in my social circle is in a relationship.

Dunno why, but "**** her right in the pussy" sounds appropriate here lol, Sorry :smile:

Right, ADVICE! * Serious Face * :smile:

Wow, was it like a 10 minute window or something, unless it was the next day there's no exscuse, How do you think these guys got them? They got in there early, Second a girl you likes gets out of a relationship you gotta get a move on.... It's fierce competition, be the guy that's there the secons she finishes it, Trust me....

Make it obvious or how are they supposed to know you like them??
Maybe they liked you too but you didn't say anything so they assumed you didn't like them?
Move on and go socialise with other groups of people.

I dont know how long the window was, never even knew she was single and next thing you know she is dating someone else.

Do girls start seeing other guys before the break up or what. I find it hard to wrap my head around how fast both theese girls moved on.

Girls with boyfriends dont want to want to hang out with me alone prefer to remain in groups , so what do the other guys do

Make it obvious, wouldnt that be inappropriate ?
I dont expect them to know I like them but I expect like some time or something. Ive asked this one girl if she wanted to hang out some time and she said yea me and boyfriend are free on the weekends text him, so I kind of got the hint she doesnt want to hang out alone.

That means she doesn't like you like that if she wants her boyfriend there!
Hanging out with someone alone (sometimes but NOT ALWAYS) can be a good way of finding out whether there is any tension there or not. Though I wouldn't take them hanging out with you alone as a way of showing that they DO like you, but you can usually tell from body language etc :smile:
Maybe try and find a girlfriend who isn't in a relationship :tongue: ??

ah I guess thats true :smile: . I dont go out looking for girls lol, if I come across a girl who I have good banter with then I find out she has boyfriend not much I can do . Its hard to tell if a girl like you, I catch them looking at me starting conversations etc but guess doesnt mean much.

So if you ask someone if they want to hang out, that is automatically code for I want to date you ? So what do the other guys do, she must agree to hang out with them alone or something.

No not at all, you can hang out with the opposite sex and not have any romantic feelings towards them of course!

But what I mean is if you make it obvious you like someone like really clear flirting, subtle hints, compliments, whatever, you will get one of two reactions a) a 'i just want to be friends nothing more' reaction like the girl you describe in wanting her boyfriend to be present when you hang out or b) reciprocation or c) leave me alone

Also personally if someone flirts with me and I'm not interested, its still flattering and I would let them down gently :tongue:

Its bit of a cliche question
but what are girls attracted tooo ??
I know she finds me funny and im average looking. Its hard to impress someone if they refuse to hang out with you alone. I feel like ive missed so many boats over the years. Girls have boyfriends yet break up all the time, just never seems to happen to girls I like oh well

It depends on the girl.
But personally:

- Intelligence
- Confidence
- Ability to hold a conversation
- A good sense of humour
- Adventurous
- Straight talking
- Creative
- Passionate
- Romantic
- Physical attraction

No it could be anything... boredom, met someone new, etc, but all of these things usually mean arguments
