Listen very closely......DON'T CALL HER!!. Apply this simple rule to your dating life, then sit and be amazed at how they beat down your door. Don't answer the phone on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and never suggest that they are the only game in town by calling them more than once. Never,never,never,never call a girl with one week of getting her number. I swear through long experience(mine and many,many others) that this works wonders. If you're too easy where is the challenge for them?Dig?

Amen to that, Ive learned that the hard way. If I say Ill call a girl Ill call her, usually they pick up and say they have to do this and that before they can go any where or they have to work, and thats fine. So they say they will call me later (which they usually do) but If a girl says she will call me I NEVER call her. If she forgets to call that night and calls the next night I wont pick up. Then if I see em on AIM Ill say hey, but nothin more until they get the whole "OMG where are you" attitude.

Oh, I have no plans of calling her at all. She said she would talk to me Monday night at our weekly devo thing, I'm not doing anything- she's gonna have to come to me. Even if she does, I really won't particularly care to speak with her. I've already deleted her number from my phone, I don't see any contact on my part in the future.

My dad has been out of work since mid-march, so with three kids in college money is very, very tight (i'm the youngest of three boys). Somehow $50 dollars found its way into my account at the beginning of the week and I checked it this afternoon and they'd put an extra $40 in. I love my parents.

Thats a big ten-four bob, I'll let you guys know if she does anything at devo monday nite or tomorrow at church. But frankly I really don't care what she does, she helped me realize what's most important to me right now, my family. That's all that matters.

Every single girl I have ever tried to get close to has turned me down. I just gave up after the last "We're too good of friends". Havn't talked to her since. I was like fine, screw the friendship. It was all one sided anyway. They ask me to do stuff for them, i do it. I ask them for stuff, or want to take them out and its a no. I just got tired of being Used

I am 62 and been married for 35 years to the same woman. I just want to share a thought with you.
You know when you meet someone if you can be yourself or not within a few minutes. You should not waste your time trying to be someone that you aren't just to get to know someone. When you don't have to be anyone but yourself and feel comfortable doing so you are (IN THE RIGHT PLACE) I wish you luck in the future. Just be yourself at all times.

Ed, that's the soundest advice I have heard so far.
William, always be yourself. Trying to impress people is a full time job. And often, you set yourself up for bigger disappointments because people expect more from you.
Your still young, and you have plenty of time to shop around for the right one. Be YOU, and go out there and have fun with life. Treat every date as a once in a lifetime experience. Now think about that phrase. Whether you have a good or bad time.
We live and learn.
Lot's of luck!

You DO sound like one of the "good guys" and you've gotten good advice here from some more "experienced" fte friends...
We all have to be comfortable with ourselves before we can be comfortable with others...
And the times they HAVE changed for many of us...
Used to be you could grow up and feel good about yourself without much problem...
but the current times seem to try and beat down anyone that's not perfect every time.... guess what, NONE of us are - some THINK they are - but most just make the best of what we have to offer and go from there...
I'm a typist... but I'll shorten it to just....
Understand that there are good and "not so good" people...
and this girl may be good, but just not the right one for you...
I PROMISE you...
a better one is on the way... you just have to be patient and know it when it comes...
and we ALL want what we can't have - it's the nature of the beast :-)
I always told my children -
be patient... but don't be so patient that you miss any opportunites !
and understand that there will be three people in your life that care for you NO MATTER what... your parents and this new young lady you've not met yet !
You'll know when it's supposed to be and it's not just "hormones" ...

I'm going to jump out on a limb. I will say 50% of the time singles are single because of someone else is already tired of their ... well you know what I mean. I'm 37, been divorced, learned alot. Be yourself, be honest, and don't bs anyone. Before you know it, you will have more than enough to pick from. Play hard to get.. But do not play games.. It works for me. Very happy and single... See ya
P.S. I'm glad you have great parents....
