MAN ADVICE

Ok, so a friend passed me a facebook name and apparently this girl I've never met or talked to is interested in me, but... how do you "meet" on facebook? I don't understand e-dating.

In real life, I'm a huge flirt. On the internet I just feel creepy and awkward. What do you say in a first online conversation?

"Sup. *points at self* McLovin."

Message her and just say something simple like "Hey buddy :)" and that's it. See if she replies with something flirty back (I trust your judgement), if so, reply "My.space.bar.is.broken.can.i.call.you.instead?" Get her number, and apply your 90's pre-internet magic Ace! I believe in you!

"Your space bar broke in between messages? You must be an angry person..."

Usually what I will do is send her a text and wait 10 minutes. If she doesn't respond, I'll send the same text again and wait 10 minutes.

If I still don't have a response after 5 minutes I will follow up with "??" And again, 5 minutes later, something like "Oh ok, I guess I'm just not good enough for you". From there it just gets ugly...

my advice - don't use a lot of smiley faces or emoticons. we get freaked out. also take it easy on exclamation points.

ive always avoided the two like the plague. yet somehow my girlfriend and i cant send each other anything without emoji getting involved

When you add her, just send a short message like 'hey, I'm (insert non record forum username here)', at this point just try making light e-conversation with her, if you're feeling it ask for her number. Don't over think things, simplicity works well in boy-girl situations.

I started seeing this girl I'm talking to now through Facebook. I knew her from high school but never talked to her and it's been years since I even thought about her. I saw that she was posting sad break up messages so I made my move, started it with a simple "Hey, how are you?". Small talk turned into long ass messages, asked her for her number and we've gone out a few times since.

I've learned if you act like things are no big deal, like asking for a number, kissing, sexual fun stuff then it goes over better with women.

im so proud of myself right now! if you guys eventually get married as a result of an awesome first date, i think you should let me dj the wedding. deal?

ronnie, if things go well enough with that girl, you can make the distance work. even if its something youve never even considered before, its worth it. trust me.

Ry are you still seeing that Indy lady?

yuuup. i was hoping to move out there for september 1, but starting out in a commission only position has been tougher than expected.

were running into a road block right now. she went back after visiting here 14 days ago, and the distance has seemingly been harder on us in the last 2 weeks than it was at almost any point in the last 5 months. and im not sure what her deal is right now, but shes been VERY short with me. she finally addressed it today, briefly, saying she doesnt feel like she has a boyfriend and thats why shes being bitter. when i asked what i could do, she said its just an internal thing shell have to figure out on her own.

what the fuck am i supposed to do about that? because now i get home from a friends, and just text her to say hi/goodnight and whatnot, and im getting a short attitude.

if theres any one thing i cant fucking stand about women, its the way they dont see any issue in dragging us into their own personal bullshit.

Dont you know that in a long distance relationship you have to give up your social life completely and just sit around the phone and computer all day and talk to them?

Yup, that's pretty much why my wife left me. She had some really trivial things that she just couldn't get over and kept feeling that it reflected bad on us as a married couple of so she said "I didn't try hard enough and living with me was like pulling teeth" and decided it would be best for both of us to get a divorce.

The best part is when she said the following to me. "You are the greatest guy in the world and I really care about you and want to be in your life, just not romantically and I'll help you find dates and such." I really wish I was making this up cause it sounds even more ridiculous when written out.

Such bullshit.

it's alright. I kind of like seeing all these problems from a man’s point of view. I’m seeing now that most of the times when you’ve pissed off your lady friends you have no idea what you did wrong and it’s not like us women help by being so vague and passive aggressive. Plus I am pretty damn smitten at the moment so I don’t really need any more advice.

This is 100% true. My girlfriend is pretty easy going, though, so she's usually an exception to the rule.

Found this on reddit yesterday.. pretty awesome:

http://www.reddit.co...ell_the/c5il0xl

To Girls

  • Masturbate early and often.
  • If a guy makes you feel shitty for having sex with him, or anyone else, he’s a douchebag and doesn’t deserve your vagina.
  • All men should be treated like they have Aspergers. Sit him down, explain to him exactly what you expect from him (I need you to tell me you think I’m pretty / Either wash the dishes without me asking, or don’t get mad when I ask / ). Remind him occasionally. Don’t get mad that he can’t read your mind.
  • Never laugh at a dude’s dick. Girls don’t have an equivalent body part that’s off limits, so just accept it.

To Guys

  • Your penis is the center of your world, but no one else’s. Your girlfriends likes your penis, sure, but she doesn’t care about how it measures up to other penises. Only you and other straight boys care about that.
  • If a girl seems crazy and unbalanced, err on the side of not sleeping with her, no matter how hot she is.
  • Women wanna talk to you, so shut up and listen (thanks, Luda). If you know she likes to vent, then let her vent. If you’re unsure, just ask. And if she gets mad at you for asking, then she’s a jerk.
  • It might seem crazy to you that pretty girls don’t think they’re pretty, but it's genuinely true. Girls are taught from birth that they’re never good enough/beautiful enough, so cut her some slack when she has her insecure moments.

To everyone

  • Make sure you have (roughly) equivalent libidos / sexual expectations before you get married. Sometimes you have to pass on sex if your partner doesn’t want it, and sometimes you have to suck it up, get on your knees, and service your girl/boyfriend, even if you’re a bit tired. Keeps the magic alive.
  • If you expect oral sex, then you’d better have clean genitals. It’s just polite.
  • Watch “The Wire.”
  • Judge not someone else’s porn, lest your own be judged (including 50 Shades, which is straight-up
    erotica so let’s stop comparing it to literature much like we don’t compare low-budget porn to The Dark Knight Rises).
  • Take some time apart from your SO, and don’t get offended if they want to spend time apart from you. It’s necessary, and you’ll both feel better in the long run.
  • Be kind to each other. Always. Even after 15+ years, say “Thank you” and “I appreciate you doing X.”
  • Friendship takes work and effort, especially post-college. Put in the time, even if it’s inconvenient, because you’ll miss it if it fades.
