"So...do you like...stuff?"

[–]crazyisraeli 85 points86 points ago

I too am a fan of music.

[–]reynej 28 points29 points ago

I found that girls ask that to get a feel for who you are. After my divorce every girl I went on a date with asked me what kind of music I liked.

[–]khal_pedro 27 points28 points ago

Just a bit of everything

Works every time. Apparently.

[–]Sergnb 19 points20 points ago

-Just a bit of everything

-Ask her for her tastes

-See if you can match any of hers with yours

-Name bands she might like

-In case of successfull band naming, +3 relationship points

-In case of unsuccessfull band name, proceed to ask her for recommendations so you seem interested in her tastes, +1 relationship points

You can't possibly lose with this scenario

So it's just like reddit karma?

[–]TickleFightProTour 1 point2 points ago

But then they play a few new bands for you, bands that you hate, and you have to act interested. When someone asks me to show them a just show them Dopesmoker by Sleep. If you can dig the hour long song then I guess I can give you a shot.

[–]JustHereToFFFFFFFUUU 23 points24 points ago

Then they say "oooh, I'm so glad you like crunk!" and you have to go to at least two awful gigs to be polite.

[–]booooooooooooosh 14 points15 points ago

Next thing you know she's putting that awful Soulja Boy Superman song on repeat in your car and you have to drive around with your windows up in summer otherwise black people are going to give you the stare.

She'll be a summery girl. She'll have hair. She'll have summery friends who know how to be outside. She'll play tennis and wear dresses and have bare feet, and in the autumn, I'll ditch her, because she's my summer girl!

after a 6 year relationship I found myself basically back at the 'hurr I like you' and kicking girls in the shins stage.

[–]WalnutSoap 35 points36 points ago

I hear pushing them in puddles works.

[–]karmacorn 20 points21 points ago

Try being on the market after 25 years. My ex and I dated for seven years before we married (college sweethearts) then he left when we were 18 years into the marriage. It's hard enough to date with a couple of kids in tow, but the last time I kissed another guy, I was wearing parachute pants, jelly shoes, and my hair was a 14 inch high, rock hard mass of aqua-net. I had no idea what to do with myself and still don't so I just surf reddit to pass the time.

[–]creamengine 7 points8 points ago

I get the impression that I got off light with only 5 years of marriage.

A buddy of mine has a theory he calls the anglerfish theory. You see, male anglerfish attach themselves to females with their jaws. Their jaws then atrophy, leaving them completely dependent upon the female. They quite literally lose their bite.

It's a good analogy (for either gender) for becoming too dependent upon your partner and neglecting your own interests, getting "rusty" etc. in a long relationship. We've all been there. You can just hope that your jaw isn't completely gone if and when it ends.

I'm glad to say that I made a full recovery. Here's wishing you the best with yours, though it does seem quite a bit more complicated than it was for me :-/

[–]Flamo_the_Idiot_Boy 0 points1 point ago

That's not the worst thing that happens to the male anglerfish. The Oatmeal goes into more disturbing detail.

[–]wakinupdrunk 38 points39 points ago

I went from a one year relationship to a one and a half year period of not being interested in anyone at all. My friends just tried to hook me up with a girl and it's going surprisingly well.

I actually brought her on a hike and at the summit of said hike I asked her if she had any sharp objects on her so she could carve her initials in this tree that everyone seemed to do so.

It only took me until about 5 minutes afterwards to realize that asking an almost complete stranger "hey do you have anything sharp on you? anything will do" a couple miles away from civilization is not how you pick up the ladies.

[–]FartMart 3 points4 points ago

If you really want to make her panties drop, say "Excellent!" when she says she doesn't.

She might be into rape.

Yeah... they used to just magically fall into my lap too, and now its not doing that... how do you do this?!?!?

[–]wakinupdrunk 17 points18 points ago

Yes! Yes. This is exactly how I've described every girl I've ever been with. It used to be like, oh, we're spending a lot of time together lately, I'm into you, this is happening.

But once you run out of people to do this with it's like, I have to meet people?

[–]littleski5 0 points1 point ago

I know! And get back together season already began and it ends pretty quickly (this is a thing. people don't notice it, but i do, and its weeeiiiirrrrrrdddd...) so I'm like "where's my bitches?"

But then I realize that I would have had to actually go out and get them anyway, so it doesn't make all that much of a difference.

[–]Criminalbob 6 points7 points ago

Oh man, that's exactly where I'm at right now, I feel ya. I actually think of this meme while I'm talking. So, so sad.

[–]IChallengeYouToADuel 3 points4 points ago

Four years here. Women, am I right, guys? Right? It's hard to remember there are boundaries to enter through slowly at first since, you know, you really don't know the person.

Just had my four year relationship end a few days ago. Glad to see I'm not the only one going through this or worrying about this.

[–]Nutshell38 6 points7 points ago

Hit the gym. Fire your lawyer. Double up on Facebook.

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points ago*

Not trying to sound cocky, but this is my field! I got a lot of experience with this stuff and I will share with you what makes me successful, I did not get rejected once after getting into a conversation with a girl I wanted.

Just.. Talk and show that you are interested, say something like "I want to get to know you better" or some shit.. You will notice if she's interested too or not. Lay your hand on her hip while talking, let her type her number into your phone, give her a goodbye kiss..

Oh to get into a conversation with her: Just go, don't think about what to say, don't be nervous. They notice. You could say "Shit shit fuck", if you appear confident and attractive she will like it. So a simple "Hi" should do the trick, followed by "What's your name" if you see she turns towards you or smiles or whatever.. If she just says "Hi" and turns away, you just go away, you got rejected. Next girl. It's not that you are unattractive, it's that she has a boyfriend or likes other kinds of guys or thinks you are a player or whatever weird stuff. Don't force it.

Key tip: Don't be too interested. It pressures her and makes you look desperate. Don't try to keep the conversation going at all costs. What helps me often is to say that I am interested but I keep looking away if there's a pause in the conversation as if I'm bored. She then tries to say something which makes her the one wanting me, not the other way round. Girls are looking for boyfriends in discos and you are "the one" who she finally gets to know, so act like it. Confidence.

Another tip: Alcohol! Makes you much more confident, you don't think twice about a move which would make you win.

And tip 3: If it gets awkward for you because of whatever, tell her about it like "Well, I will go now, I want to see you when we're sober ;) I will text you". Then kiss her, say goodbye, smile, you win. There is not much you can mess up at a later meeting. Gets awkward when you meet her again that evening, so try to avoid it and do not flirt with other girls except if you know she and her friends are already gone.

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points ago

Tip #4: Don't be unattractive.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

That is true. However women have different tastes. And women aren't going to be the one's approaching men. They are hoping to get talked to, all they do is smile and look.

If she doesn't like your appearance, then there is no chance for you. However she is not the only girl in the world.

But there are soo many guys looking for females who could have it soo easy but they do nothing...

You don't need to look like Brad Pitt, just look neat, confident and decisive.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Tip #5: Don't be married.

[–]Deeviant 4 points5 points ago

Tip #5: If you are unattractive, be rich.

[–]cbrunos 1 point2 points ago

This makes me remember a comment on Reddit a while back. It went like this:

Step 1: Be attractive

Step 2: Don't be unattractive

Makes me smile every time I think about it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

[–]cbrunos 1 point2 points ago

That was awesome, thanks!

[–]LettersFromTheSky 0 points1 point ago

Tip # 5: Don't spend all your time on the computer.

[–]unsubtlety 13 points14 points ago

I agree with the confidence part, but if a guy I just met put his hand on my hip or tried to kiss me goodbye, that would be an INSTANT turn-off. Most of my friends agree with me on this. Not saying some women wouldn't be into it, but it's something to keep in mind.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Hmm for me it always worked pretty good. Of course a goodbye kiss after a short conversation is way over the top, but if you spent the evening together, feel comfortable and you kind of agreed that you like each other and want meet again then I don't see a reason not to give a kiss.

For the hip part, yes that depends too. You better don't start touching a girl after 5 minutes of talking ;) However after talking a little there should be some non-accidently contact imo. Everytime I touch a girls hip they start touching mine or my leg if I sit... Works very good, and I am not speaking of "easy" girls. I just make them feel comfortable I think.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Where are you from? I'm thinking we might have some cultural differences at play here, because a lot of the physical contact stuff you recommend wouldn't fly in (most of?) the US.

[–]wackylol 2 points3 points ago

The physical contact stuff he is describing comes from reading body language. He isn't saying "after X minutes, touch the girl's hip", he is simply saying that if everything is going well, you can tell that physical contact is invited and that is how you up the situation. But yeah, obviously if the physical contact is unwanted it won't fly, but it is worth clarifying that the implication during the conversation is that it is wanted, so you make the move. This is sort of going beyond getting over a fear of talking to women and moving into how to seal the deal territory and I think maybe some of the people reading the advice on here are still in the latter zone.

[–]JewboiTellem 0 points1 point ago

It does, I'm sure you've done it before. He's talking about, say, the music at the house you're at is making it hard for her to hear you, so you lean in and put your hand on her shoulder for a bit while you talk to her then go back. Then she'll either reciprocate or not, it's not something you think about, it just...happens.

[–]karmacorn 3 points4 points ago

I'm with you. A short hug, maybe, but don't be placing a possessive hand on a body part below my waist and don't put your lips on me unless I've clearly indicated that it's what I want you to do. That's just pushy and creepy at the same time.

[–]Megatron_McLargeHuge 2 points3 points ago

Discos? Were you sent here from the 70's to save us?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I am from germany, we say disco here, sorry ;) What do you say? Club?

[–]pigsnot 0 points1 point ago

No worries! Club if there's dance music and you can barely hear each other. Bar if it's a place with people talking and drinking. Bars sometimes have a section for dancing

[–]WalnutSoap 1 point2 points ago

You're doing god's work, bro.

[–]VikingTy 1 point2 points ago

if you appear confident and attractive she will like it

Unfortunately that's the problem for most guys. Sure, the first one can be faked if you try hard enough. Not so much the second one.

[–]hypertown 1 point2 points ago

Last time I checked, girls I have just met don't like being kissed. You mean on the cheek? What can be constituted as a friendly kiss?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

No not on the cheek. It really depends on how good the conversation was going. You should get a feeling for it. After talking to her for a short time you better don't kiss her, that's weird if she's not an easy drunk ... But if you talked for a long time and agreed to meet each other again because you like each other and the situation feels really comfortable, then why not kiss her?

I would however not skip the touching part. If she likes being touched (on the hip or back or whatever) and maybe touches you too, then the seal is dealed.

But kissing after just talking? That would be weird imo. At least you should ask for it then, like "Well, I would like to give you a goodbye kiss ;)". Clarified your intentions and you will probably get a smile or "That's cute". If not, she can dodge with something like "Not today", which doesn't mean "never".

[–]Tan_Trum 3 points4 points ago

[–]RemarkablyGoodTaste 0 points1 point ago

[–]hypertown 1 point2 points ago

Seddit teaches you to treat women more like objects and gives a scoring system along with coded situations. I think it teaches men to be piggish and unnatural. Every guy on Seddit to me is Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Rec. If you don't know who that is, look him up.

[–]w0rsel 0 points1 point ago

If she just says "Hi" and turns away, you just go away, you got rejected.

People actually do this, commonly enough for you to have to say it's an option? That's pretty fucked up on their part

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Yes but that's kind of understandable. I have some hot female friends who I often party with and they get hit on a LOT. I have no idea why these dudes think they could be successful with idiotic memorized one-liners or something like "I don't want to be alone tonight, want to join me?". That happens a lot and these girls are tired of that.

The last time I got to know a girl (who is kind of my girlfriend now), I walked straight up to her and her guyfriends started talking to me, maybe to prevent it? I don't know but I kind of had some fun with them, shaked all their hands and talked to them, then I turned to the girl and said "Wow, all I wanted to do is to talk to you.". Went pretty good ;)

[–]limbs_ 0 points1 point ago

So I'm following you for everything except this kissing thing. In America, it's my understanding that people who just meet don't often kiss goodbye. What exactly do you mean by this and how exactly does one make this seem normal?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

If everything goes well, you notice she wants more and you understand each other very well, she welcomes being touched or touches you then depending on the woman you can decide to try it or not. It's not about how much you want it, it is about how much the female would welcome it.

So if she is enthusiastic and happy about getting to know me I say something like "I will go now, what do you think about a goodbye kiss? :)". That makes them giggle and they usually initiate the kiss. If you however feel like it seems appropriate, you can just kiss her softly, however, she should expect it and it shouldn't come off as a surprise.

[–]elgarbage 0 points1 point ago

God this is so terribly awkward, I don't think it would ever fly by American standards. Your advice is pretty decent but this is just coming on too strong.

[–]JewboiTellem 0 points1 point ago

Truth. I love the groups of dudes that stand there like watching girls like, "oh man that girl's hot, Jimmy I don't think she has a boyfriend you should talk to her!"

"Oh man I don't know, give me five minutes I don't know if I should, what should I say?"

"Uhhh dude say you like her heels man."

"Dude I don't know, I need something better than that."

I walk up to the girl "Hey, how's it going?"

Her "Great! What's your name?"

etc

I'm still not even ready to do that yet... I was about ready to spend my life with my ex of two years, until she decided to leave because her cunt of a friend convinced her I wasn't worth her time.

I can't wait to get to find another person to flirt with, but jesus christ I am terrified of never being that in love again. :(

[–]SpoonyJank 1 point2 points ago

Bang her friend. It is the only solution.

[–]aurahack 2 points3 points ago

Not only is she already in a relationship, (with a guy who hired my ex at our old job just so he could fuck her, and then gave up when he met her friend) but I would rather swear celibacy than stick my dick in the putrid waste of human life that she is.

[–]SpoonyJank 4 points5 points ago

You'll get real-life karma. I promise.

[–]aurahack 1 point2 points ago

I hope so... It's a biased point of view, but I was really good to her and she really did make every day brighter. It's difficult to get over feeling like you can just be so easily thrown away. :c

But whatever, right? Life moves on and whatnot.

Thankfully being past your stage I'm now seeing a new girl (upgraded like a boss), she keeps asking why I do all these strange little things and I've realise they're bad habits I picked up from the GF I had for 2 years. Shits embarrassing.

So, how about that weather this week... Boy! It's been really <insert weather condition> this week!"

[–]Wammis 1 point2 points ago

Okay... I think I found the problem... you chose the name "Faggins." Are you sure girls are the solution?

[–]dpca 1 point2 points ago

Same here except it was 4 years D:

[–]Calitalian 1 point2 points ago

Never stop flirting.

This should be a shirt.

[–]Sherb_ 1 point2 points ago

Girl here! I don't really have any helpful advice to offer, but I can tell you that girls go through the same thing. I got out of a 3 year relationship a few months ago and flirting/dating/anything to do with trying to win a man over has me totally thrown off. Epic fail across the board. I feel like things will get easier as time goes on though? Good luck!

Be attractive.
Don't be unattractive.

[–]Kaer 1 point2 points ago

Try it after being in a relationship for 9 years.

But I'm learning and having a damn good time with it :)

[–]Zambeezi 1 point2 points ago

How most of Reddit feels, all the time

[–]nolubezocramid 1 point2 points ago

I feel the same way! I just got out of a 2 year relationship also. Best of luck man!

[–]harm0nic 1 point2 points ago

I know how you feel. It's been six years for me.

[–]HeyJewed 3 points4 points ago*

If it makes you feel any better, it doesn't get any easier.

EDIT: Here is a good video with some helpful hints from Don Draper. He is quite the ladies man.

[–]amibeingatool 2 points3 points ago*

Okay, so you're only allowed to watch this video if you're living in the US. Link to it on Youtube if you've got that?

Edit: Think I found it. It's him bullshitting?

I know that feel, bro. In the same boat as of two weeks ago. It was a rough break-up so I just go at it with a no-care attitude. If shit happens, cool, if not then good 'Ol Miss Michigan is there for you.

[–]mofeywalker 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel Bro :'D

[–]stajmw 0 points1 point ago

I'm in the same exact boat. Single now, after a 2 year relationship and I have no idea how to act. If you end up figuring it out feel free to let me know.

2 years... so cute.

Try nine.

[–]sabrepride 0 points1 point ago

I am literally in the exact same position. My mind has no means of discerning between to forward and too shy. It's purgatory.

Flip side. My ex is hooking up with tons of guys (it has been a while, it's not like she's doing anything wrong) including mutual friends from when we were dating (who I had implied liked her, jokingly, which caused her to go for them).

I haven't really done anything.

[–]Demojen 0 points1 point ago

I haven't exactly been in this position, but feel it prudent to say, everyone goes through this transition (unless they never break up).

You don't need to go to extremes to flirt. Women are very perceptive and if they have even the slightest inclination toward you, they'll pick up on your flirting. Your predisposition having left a relationship, makes it difficult for you to pick up on their subtle awareness and that's what you need to work on.

Once you become actively aware of when women accept your flirting, you'll snap back with more intuitive flirting and it should work out fine.

[–]iDrink2Much 0 points1 point ago

Just broke up with my girlfriend of 23 months and was out clubbing as a single man last night.. I can 100% relate to this.

[–]G3ML1NGZ 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel man.

Was always the awkward kid, ended up in a relationship from 16 to 20 and it took me a year to realize wtf I was supposed to do and how flirting worked. I had to learn from scratch at age 20.

[–]cbxcbx 0 points1 point ago

im right there with you man. im just not gonna bother putting any effort in. my right hand is good enough

2 years? fuck off.

[–]MattyT42069 0 points1 point ago

Thats how I always feel flirting with girls :p

[–]PrairieDogginit 0 points1 point ago

I had the same problem after my 2 year relationship had ended just before my freshman year of college.

I became aware of it one night at a frat party while I was trying to woo this cute girl I had just met. After shooting the poo for an hour, the girl, her girlfriend and guyfriend (who had come with her) all got up and were going to head out. Thinking that this was my moment to get the girl's number I said "Hey tonight was fun, we should hang out sometime. Could I get one of your numbers?"

Ended up getting the stupid guyfriends number instead.

[–]Farn 0 points1 point ago

You say it like being single makes you a flirting expert.

[–]TheMetalMilitia 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel bro

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Just been cut loose on the dating world after 2 years also. Whenever a guy talks to me when I'm out now I just go into 'does not compute' mode and glaze over. It's super attractive.

[–]macoling729 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for taking my post idea that I thought of weeks ago but was too lazy to post... asshole

[–]Residual_Entropy 0 points1 point ago

Me flirting:

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like an angel than you?

Yeah, my brain tends to overheat when I speak to women.

[–]hoo_dawgy -2 points-1 points ago

im still in a relationship. i spend far too much time trying to get them to leave me alone

[–]RavinGravy -1 points0 points ago

Im in the exact same boat.

[–]bitsocker -1 points0 points ago

I've been in a relationship for almost 2 decades and have flirted with pretty much every girl/woman I've encountered the entire time. It's harmless and fun, why would you ever stop?

[–]omg_im_drunk -1 points0 points ago

You shouldn't have stopped flirting with your girlfriend ;)
