Don't be that guy. She has a lot of dude friends. That's just how she rolls." But truth be told, once I get all the facts down on paper, turns out she was being a little more than nice.

    I struggle in finding that ground between "guy who can't pick up a hint" and "guy who assumes any girl who gives him the time of day must want him". I've always been an extreme version of the former as I'm afraid of being mistaken for a creep.

      I think the moral of most of these stories are....when in doubt, go for it. The girl will tell you if you are off base.

      You do have to watch out for girls that are in the "on again off again" relationship situation with a ex. They'll give you mixed signals all day long. Most of the time it's not worth the effort and/or frustration.

        Based of my experience with girls, I found that you don't want to come off as over aggressive, but not a total lame either. I agree with what you are saying. I struggle with that last point you made, too.

          one year in college we were having a small party at my fraternity house and there was this girl that had I'd met a few times before but hadn't really hung with her. She was over and we were drinking together. She kept trying to get me to go back to my room, asking me to do shots with her and I said no because I wanted to keep playing beer pong.

          It starts getting late and she says she wants to watch a movie, which was cool with me. She said she wanted to watch Super Troopers so we got to my room but somebody had taken my copy so I said I was going to go find a copy, to which she said "no it's cool, any movie will do" and pleaded with me to stay in the room. But she said she wanted to see that movie so I was deadset on finding it.

          She waited in my room for damn near half an hour while I searched the rest of the house up and down for an extra copy. Finally found one and put the movie on. About 5 minutes in she gets up and leaves.

          I quickly realized what it was that she was after and had to lol at myself. I had a girlfriend at the time anyway who was much hotter than this girl and I had no desire to do anything with this chick anyway, but I was completely oblivious to all the signs.

            If you hadn't been involved with your girlfriend you probably would have caught on much quicker, I'd bet.

              My sophomore year in HS, our Science class took a field trip to Six Flags here in Largo and this one chick in my class is kinda flirting with me. She's playing the basketball games where if you make a shot, you win a prize and she was asking me each time(3 BTW)if I could shoot for her. I did(mainly because im a nice guy and didnt mind helping her out to win some prizes)and as we're walking to one of the rides, she asks me:

              "If I let you hit, would you go out with me?"

              Me, not knowing any better utter out the words "maybe" to her. She goes back and tells my friends(who I known for a long time and grew up together)what I said and they start letting me have it. "Nick, did you REALLY tell her maybe?" sounding shocked and surprised at it. I told them I thought they sent her over to ask me that and thats why I said "maybe" when I come to find out, she asked on her own.

              That following Monday, she comes up to me and asks for my number, which I went and gave to her, and we started slowly talking to each other after that. Well one day, I came home from school and with no homework I cooked me a hamburger and pop in the movie "What The Worse That Could Happen?"(which I had seen 4 times then) and I hear a knock at my door and it's her. She asks me what I was doing and I told her I was eating and watching a movie. She then asks if she could come in(nobody was home but me)and I told her to comeback later or ill call her once the movie is over. Come to find out, she didn't drive over here(lived in another part of town 15 mins away)and specifically came over to "see me" so when after I told her that, I see my friends coming up the street and they ask her what she was doing around here. She tells them what and they just start giving me all types of hell, in a joking type way.

              "Nick, this is twice now that you turned her down and when she was throwing you the signs man. You scared of *****??"

              She was fine BTW too. She was a shorter version of Gabrielle Union(movie actress)and she wanted the goofiest one in the crew(me)and I turned down all the signs, SMH.

              My friends still get on me about that whenever we start reminiscing about our HS days but nowadays you can't help but laugh with them on it lol.
              give me your man card.

                LMAO Don't worry G-dub...I got another one that'll have you shake your head even more. Back in the day, a female would've had to literally "throw it" at me before I would get the clue LMAO.

                  perhaps, but I also get caught in the zone "is she just being friendly, or is she asking for the business?"

                          Here's an "I didn't pull the trigger moment" that I'll regret the rest of my life...

                          House party in college...and there was a cute freshman from another University at our house. She was friends with one of the players girls...but anyways.

                          One of our freshmen was talking with this girl and I tell some of the guys "watch this I'm about to take his girl". So I walk up to them and I give her a look and say "Seriously you're talking with him? You know you need to be talking to me, right?" I'm not even joking...and then I said "so who you gonna talk to, him...or me?"

                          She walked away from him, came over to me, and we started talking.

                          Anyways...I lived in the finished attic of the house (5 people lived there...it was a good room) and I noticed she was low on her drink and told her I had some more upstairs.

                          We go upstairs and we watch TV. She was waiting for me to make a move and it would've been on. I didn't because I was talking with another girl.

                          I hate myself every time I think about this missed opportunity...

                          She was gorgeous!
