View Full Version : picking up an awesome chick - ? for the ladies

so, like, in the past, i've been a total asshole and that seems to pretty much work when picking up chicks (doesn't always work out in the long run), gets them in the sack, though........

anyway, i went out on a blind date last night (i never do this, but i trusted the person who set me up) and I was blown away by how awesome this woman I met was (obviously didn't let on, kinda played it nonchalant) but now I'm like: I think this is the woman I've been looking for: she has a number of positive traits: looks (mega hottie, but not shallow), education/intelligence, professionalism, shared interests..

She's not perfect, ie: religious (non denominational xtian), a bit uptight (but not shallow), seems a bit "vanilla" (she might be too tame for me).....

let's face it: no one is perfect.

SO ladies, any advice for not blowing this one? We've agreed to meet up again.

Something that usually works for me is I tell her I want to have sex with her outright. You should try it.

don't tell that Heath Ledger joke, and stop acting like you've never met an attractive woman before.

You have to maintain some sort of edginess or she'll get bored with you and convert you to friend mode. In other words, the nice guy routine will not let you close the deal.

BTW, I'm not speaking from experience or anything... heh.

He says she might be too tame for her (normally) but he didn't want to blow it by being his usual 'total asshole' self. I'm just saying he needs to keep some edge in there and not go all the way to Mr. Nice Guy if he plans to peak her interest.

what? an asshole on the pc? shocker. You probably have asshole friends then, so eventually you'll have to dump all of them to conceal your asshole past.

how's this: just show respect. actions speak louder than words.

sigh...she's tame. she went out with him thinking that he is a nice guy. why would he switch back over to being a douche if his nice qualities attracted him to her in the first place?

TheEschaton
03-20-2008, 01:00 PM
Well, no, not on the first date, I'd say that's a 7th-10th date sort of thing. But you need to express it well before that if you do actually like her.

As for expressing it properly...hell, all my relationships end pretty quickly. I don't know.

notice how I said "? for the ladies" and not SINGLE MEN in the thread subject...

like I understand where the dudes are coming from, and it's pretty true: you do have to be a bit edgy and standoffish so as not to blow it with the OMFGURABABEZOMGSTALKX0R (learned not to do that when I was 14) approach. Also: yeah that^ on the friends thing: unless it's the type of friend where sexy time is involved.

But I guess like, when I actually sat down one day many years ago and wrote a list of qualities I want in a LIFE PARTNER she pretty much fit the bill (although I know one night out isn't going to tell you all that). And I've dated a lot in the past few years, so I def. know what I'm looking for.

I umm, just want advice on how not to be "that guy" and blow it, and am certainly looking for some WORDS of some sort from the ladies out there.

03-20-2008, 01:37 PM
dude, you've dated before. be yourself. don't pretend to be someone you're not. you'll slip at some point and it'll be like, "wtf, you poser?" and then she'll be gone and you'll probably swallow a bullet.

be yourself. it's cliched, but it's cliched for a reason. if you're an asshole, then you're not going to be happy being "super sweet and super nice."

or find a happy medium. whatever. as perfect as this girl is, there are numerous others just as good if not better.

Oh yeah, well, naturally I have to be myself.. but like, I'm not a super douchebag asshole, and I def. gave her a bit of a hard time.. so it wasn't like I was all stiff and fake, I think I was just mostly shocked that I met someone so cool..

Don't lie. Ever.

Don't treat her like an equal. She's not your equal. She's a woman. She's different - not inferior or superior, just different. She doesn't want fart jokes or whatever the hell it is men talk about amongst themselves. She doesn't want you treating her like she's one of the boys - if she did, you wouldn't be dating, you'd be hanging out.

Open her door, pull out her chair, ask her about her day and be interested in what she says. Ask her followup questions later.

Eh, I happen to wholly agree with this. I was raised by two Southern parents, so "Yes, ma'am and No, sir," open the door for her, pull out her chair, stand when she leaves and returns to the table, wait for her to be seated before you sit, wait for her to pick up her fork before you pick up yours, always walk on the outside of her when walking down the street...the list goes on. It's habit for me now, but I will say that not many girls are used to it at all. Guaranteed to be noticed and definitely appreciated.

On the fat thing - I don't want to walk around in an outfit that makes me look fat. What's worse - having someone tell you you look fat in an outfit and getting the chance to change or realizing that EVERYONE thought you looked fat and you spent hours walking around in public like that?

Read the rest of what I said instead of quoting me out of context. If he wants an equal, then the person he's dating should have a dick too. Men are men, women are women. The meaning of equal means "the same as". Go treat your wife/girlfriend like you would your drinking buddy and see how often you get laid.

Don't pretend to be something your not, etc. Girls hate cocky guys that don't stop talking about their car or whatever. Do what works: Let the girl talk about herself, pretend to be interested when you aren't, think of romantic crap you'd never do..flowers etc (and not carnations unless you want the girl to think you're a cheap fuck), try to pick up on a few details and bring them up later.. "oh i remember you saying you like such and such so i thought you'd like to see this", the gentleman stuff works too as said before, and if being a dick works sometimes use it but sparingly.

agree with Noctural about Sylvan's "She's not your equal.. she's a woman" WAY TOO EASY... but I think I understand. I did the pull her chair out for her / walk her to her car / listen + I was genuinely interested.

I guess I should have reiterated:

TO ALL THE MARRIED guys out there: what awesome thing did you do to win her over (getting her knocked up doesn't count).

You saying you don't pull the chair out, walk her to her car, listen, etc for all the women you date? If not, you are putting on an act. You going to continue doing it after you've "won her over"? What do you think she'll do when you stop?

Ground yourself in the present, especially considering you've only been on one date with her. Thinking of it in terms of her being "the one" so early on in the dating game could set you up for disappointment, so it's important to be grounded.

Think positive and hopefully being yourself includes being confident, easy-going, and able to hold a steady conversation covering a range of topics. Use your body language to sublety convey your attraction to her and see if she reciprocates.

If she's interested, which she is so far, she'll be genuinely inquisitive about you so you should try to guage her body language while you conversate with her to see if it's leaning more towards you, so to speak, or all together standoffish, since you say she's a bit stiff.

All you can go off of at this point is her body language when she's around you and how she interacts with you (genuine interest or boredom). She agreed to go on a second date so you're doing good so far.

I didn't say I don't do that. I've been conditioned NOT to do that by some of the women I've been with over the past few years.. but I've come to accept that I DO NOT want to be with the women who like to be treated like shit, and would rather have a partner with self respect, so I need to retrain myself on proper etiquette.

anyway, i went out on a blind date last night (i never do this, but i trusted the person who set me up) and I was blown away by how awesome this woman I met was (obviously didn't let on, kinda played it nonchalant) but now I'm like: I think this is the woman I've been looking for: she has a number of positive traits: looks (mega hottie, but not shallow), education/intelligence, professionalism, shared interests..

She's not perfect, ie: religious (non denominational xtian), a bit uptight (but not shallow), seems a bit "vanilla" (she might be too tame for me).....

let's face it: no one is perfect.

Where's Radamanthys and thefarmer? Here's their favorite use of this word!


On the main site:

Adventurers!
Seeking new challenges? Need a little danger in your life? Does lots of silver peak your interest? Look no farther than the nearest Adventurers Guild. Good Pay, Flexible Hours, Orphans Preferred! Find out more! (http://www.play.net/gs4/info/adventure_guild.asp)

Shouldn't it be pique your interest? That annoys me.


No.

Listen to what she says. Ask her questions that prove you've been listening. Bonus points if you bring up some fact she told you the previous time you were together. Double bonus points if you act on something she's told you - i.e. sneak her favorite candy into the movie, have a bottle of her favorite wine/beer/vodka on hand at home.

Plan dates, but toss in random "Hey, I was thinking about you, want to grab a sandwich/see a movie/get some coffee together after work?" texts.

Listen to what she says.

Open doors, pull out chairs, but don't fall over yourself to do it. Then it just looks silly.

Listen to what she says.

Tell embarrassing stories about yourself. Don't include ones where you are naked and/or drunk. If you have no embarrassing stories where you are neither, skip this one.

Listen to what she says.

Big bouquets of flowers are made to be delivered. If you want to make her smile on the date, bring her a flower.

And listen to what she says! Not only will this make you a huge improvement over many men, it will also let you learn more quickly if you actually like her. Keep in mind, if you're already thinking this is "the one", you're going to have a lot of years of listening to her to come. Make sure it's enjoyable.

Here's a crazy idea: How about you be yourself and see where things go? If you're normally an asshole, then pretending to not be an asshole isn't going to last very long. Eventually your inner asshole will come out (figuratively of course, not your large intestine just pouring out everywhere) and either she'll walk or you'll have to change yourself into someone you're not, and relationships are no fun when you have to pretend to be someone you're not, no matter how good she is in the sack.

So yeah...unless you're just looking to score, just be yourself. If it doesn't work out, just keep in mind that you'll eventually find an asshole chick and you'll get along great.

And don't stress too much over it. Just go out and have fun. It's too early to be overly concerned about losing her after one date.

I'm by no means a regular girl (women mystify me; I hate them almost as much as men do), but when my husband and I started dating he kept things pretty low-key, showed interest in my hobbies and interests (which was really awesome since he'd never tried some of them before)...and at the end of some of our dates, he'd go ahead and suggest another simple date, like asking me to go to a movie with him a few days after our 2nd date.

Most people have already said a big one, show interest in her... Try to show her you're really paying attention by picking up on a smallish detail that doesn't always get complimented on.

And make sure she's reciprocating, showing interest in you and asking you questions and all that. Don't be so focused on not being a screw-up yourself that you miss the signs she doesn't feel the same way about you.

All I can say is that I'm SO glad I'm not in the dating scene anymore. That sucks.

there are too many examples to quote


like asking me to go to a movie with him a few days after our 2nd date.

wow...that must have swept you right off your feet...a guy suggesting a movie...the originality is mind-boggling.

I'm going to recap:

OP, you've been on one date. You had a good time. That's great. I am genuinely (no sarcasm at all) happy for you. That's always a good feeling. Calm down. Enjoy it. Be yourself. Don't smother. Take it slowly. That is all.

LOL @ how this thread turned out:

I guess I should have reiterated:

TO ALL THE MARRIED guys out there: what awesome thing did you do to win her over (getting her knocked up doesn't count).

Whip it out and club her over the head with it. If it's big enough to knock her out, she'll be so impressed when she wakes up that she'll want to marry you on the spot.

If it's not even big enough to leave a decent mushroom stamp, she'll laugh and think you're cute and silly, and probably hook up with you out of comfort that her vag will never get hurt.

If it's average sized, it's a toss up. She'll be impressed with your confidence and/or comfort with the size of your penis, and decide to hang around a while. OR...she'll get really pissed you gave her a mushroom stamp that she might remove your mushroom stamp-giving capability.

In any case, it's the quickest way to cut through all the "feeling things out" stuff.

You know I figured out something. Smaller penises have an advantage. You can possibly convince her to do anal after a little work.

Jesus christ, she's not a fucking mentor. She's a girl he's been on one date with. Calm the eff down.

I'm not saying she's a mentor. I'm saying that if he thinks she might be "the one" a really good way to find out is to listen to her. A good way to keep her if she is the one is to listen to her. What's the problem with the advice?



stfu, Jorddyn.

Yes, better to take advice from the one who cannot complete a sentence without the word "fuck".

Wow, Jorddyn, don't get so testy. I apologize if you took offense at some of the words I used. I've seen the light. You've changed me for the better. Clearly I was wrong.

My problem with your advice is that you're wrong. If all you're doing is listening to the girl, then you're setting the tone for the relationship. If you'd managed to follow any of the OP's posts, then you'd realize that "being a listener" doesn't fit with his personality. More often than not, assholes are not listeners. They're outgoing and talkative. So basically you're telling him to be someone he's not.

I'm not saying that he shouldn't listen ever. That's absurd. But it should be within the context of his own personality. You repetition of "Listen to what she says," which I'm sure you thought was very cute, was really just annoying and demonstrative of your creative void. So, there's my response. And this sentence is the only one that has the word "fuck" in it.

And this one--go fuck yourself.

I'm not trying to change you. I'm just pointing out that if I'm asking advice on how to impress someone, I'm hardly going to take it from one who swears repeatedly.


My problem with your advice is that you're wrong. If all you're doing is listening to the girl, then you're setting the tone for the relationship.

You obviously didn't understand the advice. I was trying to highlight the importance of it. People know how to talk. I even advised him to tell stories. But listening is the important part. Plus, it'll help him know that she's not the one that much faster if he's not busy ignoring what she's saying and staring at her chest.


But it should be within the context of his own personality.

He's looking for ways to improve.



You repetition of "Listen to what she says," which I'm sure you thought was very cute, was really just annoying and demonstrative of your creative void.

It wasn't done to be cute, repetition is an incredibly useful tool. There's a reason it's used in everything from literature to dog training.



So, there's my response. And this sentence is the only one that has the word "fuck" in it. And this one--go fuck yourself.

Your socially acceptable words to obscenities ratio has vastly improved, but I was somehow not surprised you couldn't make it through the post without that word. Seriously, what's with the hate?

And Jorddyn, I'm not hating. I just think that people here are giving bad advice. It does no good to have the OP get all his hopes up after one date. Giving him advice that completely alters his personality may very well drive her away. I say just let him act like himself. If it drives her away, then she wasn't right for him. If it works out, all the better.

That's not to say that he can't improve himself, but I don't think a complete overhaul is the way to go about it.

A little off topic, but I have to post it:

I was out with my girlfriend at one of her company dinners a couple nights ago (kill me). One of the secretaries was sloppy drunk and asked "when you toss your husband's salad, do you use tin foil or plastic wrap?". No lie, and she meant it in that way. WTF?

well yeah, listening is important.. i agree. I actually tend to keep my mouth shut 90% of the time because it usually gets me in trouble or gets me laid depending on the type of chick i am talking to.

this is the type of woman that i should never open my mouth around.

but ummm i am already over that initial ZOMG rush so I'm going to hang out with her a few more times and see if any chemistry develops...

plus, she better love my adopted dog (picture found on the net, not actually my dog but close enough):
