Today is valentines for most, tuesday for others and wrist cutting time for the rest. For me and Lee it is our engagement anniversary. Yeah, Valentines can suck it! Lee bought me an epic Yankee Candle reed diffuser with roses instead of reeds in the 'True Rose' frangrance. And I had a gift commissioned by someone I follow on Etsy for Lee. Aya and Fudge, two of our birds. The person created them using photos as ref, so I'm very pleased. (Their Store) How has your 14th been so far? Do you bother with it? Did you get/buy anything nice? Or do you go out of your way to express your dislike of this celebration by posting edgy, butt hurt forum posts and status updates detailing how it's all a commercial retard fest and people are stupid?
Only mockingly. The 14th is officially over now here and I really didn't do much at all for it. Normally that fact that the thing I was looking forward to most on Valentine's Day was the Mass Effect 3 demo would even make me shake my head at myself but it's the Mass Effect 3 demo. I did catch up with some people and went to an event for a while but really, nothing to report. Just another day, this year.
I didn't really plan in advance for this holiday. So, I had no gift for this girl I'm dating. It seems it turned out for the best, though. She felt it would be weird if she gave me a gift on Valentine's Day (considering we've gone on 1 date, so far, I guess...). It worked out for both of us, and I just gave her a hug.
Some might have a better read on women than I do, but I think she'll take a bit more work than that. I mean, does one date entitle you to a kiss on the lips? Maybe, MAYBE, on the cheek.
lol what? you got this all wrong man. play your cards right, you have to be slightly more aggressive than that. be playful, tease her, make her WANT to kiss you. kiss on the first date should be standard. this whole myth where a kiss on the first date is too aggressive, too fast? where does that come from? fucking kiss on the cheek? you're gonna get friend-zoned before you know it. anyway valentines day, yeah..... polish chick I know was playing around, biting me on the shoulders I don't even know why I'm giving you tips since I think I fucked it up BAD last night. i've known her for a while and while we're friends, i dont spend too much time with her and usually only see her when we go out (we are in the same course and I see her around but we dont hang around too much) so she was slightly tipsy I assume and she was biting me, and I was sneaking in bites as well. when I motioned whether she wanted 1 shot or 2 with my fingers (she had bought me lunch a few days ago and I owed her money, AND it was her birthday) she put my finger in her mouth and bit it softly. yeah, I fucked up.
Yeah that's where I'm confused also. Oh dude, Marius is right, you're playing this way too timid. If you pussyfoot around too much and don't make a move within the first 2 dates, most girls will think you're either not interested or get the idea that you lack the confidence to make a move. Sure, in very rare cases there's some women that love to be dominant or coax a shy awkward guy out of his shell but the fact is the majority of ladies out there like a guy who is sure of himself and can control a situation. Not arrogant, just a sensible amount of fortitude. I'm not Dr. Love or anything but this is how I usually play it when dating a new girl and it's worked well: Date 1: Best foot forward. You're making a A+ impression of yourself as a prospective partner or loverrr. Keep it real though. What you're looking for out of the lady pretty much dictates your actions at the end of the date. Personally, if it's somebody I want to keep dating, I usually won't kiss them on the first date. If you've played the night correctly, you come off as a real gentleman (which you are, of course) and they should be really eager for Date 2. This move can backfire though - girls just looking to use you for sex will be surprised and very well could put you in the 'prospective BF' zone. Maybe you want that. Date 2: First impressions matter, as are first date impressions, but also the most recent impressions weigh in also. So you basically have to keep up that A+ game. Moreover, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MOVE ON THE SECOND DATE. If she seems receptive to you, that is. Hell, do it even if she doesn't. Date 2 is basically where you should have established whether she's into you at all or not. If you haven't, chances are you're SOL. If you get to three dates and there hasn't even been a hand holding, congratulations: you've made a new friend. BUT, Valentine's Day? That's like an open invitation to go for broke. I'm not saying you shoulda like slipped her the tongue but come on, lip to lip contact at the least.
If you don't have two fingers in her asshole simultaneously by tonight, prepare to be bff's I hope you like pedicures
Everybody is different but there is a general consensus at play. When do you like to get a smooch, Esko? Hahaha
My Valentine's Day was super depressing. I love Valentine's Day and I used to celebrate this beautiful merger of romantic anticipation and bold consumerism by eating an overpriced meal in a crowded fusion restaurant with a dolled-up and ungrateful girl who is angry with me because I didn't ask her how her day was or something stupid like that. But now I am single, and yesterday I went to see my video game friend who recently moved in with his mother. He sleeps on a pile of dirty laundry and only eat things that has melted cheese on it, he works at a post office and hates his life, he smells like sulfur and he has more fuzz-pedals than anyone I know, and I went there to get drunk and high and jam on guitars. We started smoking/playing/drinking and then we got wrecked and decided to begin playing final fantasy 6, which is superboring two-dimensional nonsense packed with a million two-dimensional characters and absolutely no resemblance of coherent narrative that I pretend to like in front of the nerd elite. As walk around some dungeon his mom walks in and gives us a bag of free things she got at a shopping mall earlier that day. The bag is filled with heart-shaped chocolates and I realize that it is Valentine's day and that I am a 22 year old man sitting on a couch-bed with a childhood friend fighting goblins, abusing drugs and eating complimentary mall chocolate his mom got us and then it's like got a telepathic message from every person I have ever dated saying "this is why it didn't work out you incredible loser P.S I'm getting laid right now" star jammer the only advice I can give you about dating is don't take dating advice from anyone on the internet
