Valentines D

[BlackbirdM3]

It sounds like you're in the friend zone with that girl that you're in love with, man. When you see her in person again, make sure you have your balls with you and kiss her. Sounds like the great white buffalo.

I agree. I'm looking elsewhere. Still, if opportunity presents itself, I'll take it and run, but I also run the risk of her kicking my ass if she thinks I've crossed the line, and she will kick my ass. She's a feisty one and doesn't take shit from anyone. She isn't a person you want to piss off. (Likely the reason she attracts asshole guys. Why she lets them get anywhere I haven't figured out.)

How'd you get that picture of my ex girlfriend?

Time to move on, dude. She's mine now.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Make sure you start every convo with "Sup Tinderella"

Panty dropper.

Noted. I have been leading on with "Hey baby, your face or mine?"

Women want what they can't have. The asshole guys don't let her walk all over them. Do you think she likes being "stronger" than a guy shes dating? hell no. You're not there yet, and until you make yourself something she needs to chase you will be in the friend zone forever. From a purely evolutionary standpoint, a woman wants a strong man(choose your own definition, physically or mentally).




Cheesy pickup lines usually work well on tinder. My current favorite is the following:
Jaxx: "Do you have a fork?"
A: Yes/No/what? etc
J: "What about a knife?"
A: yes/no/etc
J: "Well do you want to spoon?"
J: Start with normal conversation

Funny contextual openers are still better if you can do it.

Money is tight due to moving soon, so the gf and I agreed not to get each other anything. I'll still get her some flowers, but that's it.

I wouldn't say she is "stronger" than any guy she dates, but if you piss her off, the odds of getting kicked in the nuts are higher than average. The way we met was her throwing a text book at me while I was fixing a fluorescent light ballast in her dorm (off campus). The following year we were both RAs there. As far as being something she needs to chase, I'm not going to spend the effort to go 600 miles for nothing. She's going to have to come to me. I'll leave the door open, but she has to walk through it. Odds are, the whole thing is going to vanish back into the aether from which it came. I'll give it 6 months or less before it happens. If/when it happens it will be for good, there won't be a 3rd chance. (But, I figured that was the case 10 years ago. ) There is no earthly reason for us to be on the speaking terms that we are on. We are both Type A personalities, who are both cynical pessimists, and neither one of us can stand small talk. Yet we both manage to engage in small talk all the time. None of it makes sense. We've both thought about writing good by letters to one another but neither one of us has done so (I actually did have one written early on, but didn't send it simply because I was curious where things would go.)

To be honest, I should be running the opposite way as fast as I can now that I have an idea of the drama going on in her life. (Holy shit there is a lot) Still, I do value a friendship (I have very few close friends) and I'd be a shitty friend to turn my back on her when she really needs a good friend. She knows where I stand on the subject, but I don't think she knows where she stands on it. (I know her well enough that I can make that statement) She has bigger things to deal with and work out. I'm not going to pressure her into anything.

Like I said, I'm looking elsewhere and should I find someone else, I'll be something she can't have. A LDR isn't even close to ideal, I'd like to see the person more than once a month (Thats an expensive date when you throw in a plane ticket on top of it.) Since I've never had a relationship before, the odds of a first one lasting more than a couple months are pretty slim. Again, who knows. I'm going to let things play out.

As for using pickup lines, I'm the wrong type of person for that. Someone needs to give me a big reason to be interested in them before I even acknowledge they exist. Thats the reason in the past 18 years there have only been 6 people who have caught my eye. (All in college, not a one since) I've never gone on a date with someone I was actually interested in (I went for the experience and the opportunity to eat a meal with another person.) Am I going to be single for a very long time? Yeah most likely. I've got better things to do with my $ and my life than to deal with someone who is boring to me (most people.)

[whysimon]

taking her on a cruise to the Bahamas. To be fair she bought me a tech-1 kit :)

[Axxe]

Came to this thread for ideas. Found r3v's forever alone crowd. Carry on.

[Exodus_2pt0]

I haven't even thought about what I'll do.

Probably just have flowers delivered to her at work.

Then the D that night.

[Roysneon]

I'm getting drunk.

My wife has been training for a figure model show in May, so no fancy dinners, (doesn't fit her diet), and we'll actually be in the gym working out.

That being said I have gotten into the mode of making her different picture arrangements for special events, (birthdays, anniversaries) of things we've done since we've been together. For V day I got here a 4 slot picture frame and found a few of road atlas'. I cut out the locations of where we first met, where we first kissed, where I asked her to marry me, and where we got married. yaaaaaaaaaaaa, it's cheesy but she loves this stuff....and it's easy on the wallet. I might see if I can find here a charm for her bracelet but I married a very simple girl that doesn't ask for much. Maybe write her a nice letter.

Buy her flowers, get her teg running, go to dinner, then wrap it up with heading to the weekly car meet in town. Boom.

[slammin.e28]

Probably get a Redbox movie and some kettle corn.

We don't do V day really.
