Apparently asherian is quite the ladies man according to this thread.

I am speaking in third person but screw it.

Also humor is key as people have said as is being trustworthy, loyal, and willing to share.

Showing off your personality helps quite a bit, but not too much, not until you are in a relationship for a bit.

Don't be an idiot. Be a Smart idiot.

Don't be overly dramatic,

Use puns, but not all the time.

If she likes books, call her a booky. Be funny when you need to be funny, if there are serious moments be serious. Don't be a dick.

Amen. I've date a few crazies, lets put a light emphasis on dated. They were over and done with faster than a cowboy on a bull.

Yeah, I love a chick that can kick my ass, but I'll stay away from the yandere types... I've never been involved with *that* brand of crazy before, but I've been involved with crazy, stay away...

I remember a friend who went on a first date, the first thing the girl said was if he wanted kids, how many kids he wanted, if he wanted kids would she like to with her....
I never dated before, but my gut reaction was "RUN!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes, yes, the force is strong with this one... that is the correct reaction.

Actually it's not the correct reaction. The correct reaction is to run EVEN fething FASTER.

I think the key is to get in front of people that are date-able, but don't worry about finding a date. Just have fun and see what happens.

If you are terrible at knowing when a girl is interested, a third party/nuetral observer/wing man can help you out.

Yes I am quite terrible at figuring that out. Even if there are landing lights pointing me towards that direction.

The funny part, they are still together as far as I know

I don't think bikes are the quickest way to a womans heart.

Cooking for them is.

Like that?

I get a lot of milage out of a series of nesting heart shaped cookie cutters. Some things I’ve done with them for valentines day a/o my anniversary include:

Cutting cheese and ham (both thick sliced quality) into heart shapes for crackers as an appetizer w/ wine & cocktails
Little ham hearts included in pasta w/ a white sauce.
Heart shaped gnocchi.
Jello (raspberry, made thick), set in a sheet, cut into hearts. Used to top chocolate mousse w/ whipped cream

Nothing says “I love you” like heart shaped food. And besides the gnocchi, the other things I did was just taking an extra step to cut shapes, on otherwise simple food prep. So simple, even a bachelor can do it!

I just had a million dollar idea. Why not create a site that would match people based on their interests, and then help them to go on a date? Am i smart or what.

OKCupid and Match.com and eHarmony? Yeah, been there, doesn't quite work.

Ok, so I went back to my old JR college to see the new building and say hi to some co-workers.
My friend is now engaged to the crazy girl........
Damn, I have to get a suit

Tbh i wonder why, in theory it sounds like a good idea.

But then again so does organised religion.

Don't you mean social media?



In fact, the main reason facebook was made was to get laid.

You don't say? Isn't most social media like that though? Not very effective?

Its better to... I don't know. Call them? Skype them? Text them?

I've always found facebook kind of a waste.

Shame I am not cosplaying, then!

Wait? What? How? What are you talking about? I just posted a link to a dating site oriented toward geeks. Some geek do cosplay, but that is really not the main focus of the site. Were you interested in a dating site for cosplayer ?

Id be wary of those smaller 'targeted' sites. Ive checked a few of them out, they're mostly just advertising scams filled with fake profiles

quick rule of thumb, if the girl asks you 2 questions in a row, she's interested so after chatting with her ask her out, except strippers, they just want your money.

Last girl that hit on me worked at a starbucks and she was asking me personal questions while she made my coffee. Then told me she was moving to a new store so I could be sure to visit her again.

Somedays I hate being married

While settle for a dating site, get a mail order bride, she'll love you long time until the immigration is done

I think the Starbucks girl hit on me too. She definitely asked me what I wanted, and then she asked me if I'd like a receipt.

Well, the U.S. equivalent from Wikipedia ( http://www.gk2gk.com/ ) sure do not bring up any kind of trust, but that French site seems more reliable. They have been apparently doing quite a bit of real-life advertisement, they have lasting partnership with other real, respectable websites. For instance: http://www.allocine.fr/article/fichearticle_gen_carticle=18610043.html . This website is one of the most accessed in France because it is basically the only one I know that have the time schedule of pretty much every movie theater in France. It has existed for quite a long time, and continue to thrive despite their horrible ad policy.
However I am not sure how efficient dating sites are in general, but this one seems serious enough to be on the level of big mainstream ones.

This is something that a friend recently asked me, and i realize i had no real answer "do you even know how to act on a date?" and I realized, I have no idea what to do on a date at all, how to act, what to talk about....

You can only get so much advice dude, you're eventually going to have to figure out things on your own by trying things and learning from those experiences.

Just act like you normally act in public. If you're trying to put on some special "dating" act it's going to be obvious anyway. And if your normal self can't manage a successful date you might as well fail immediately and not waste time on a doomed effort. Eventually whoever you're on a date with is going to see how you act normally, so trying to act differently just delays the inevitable.
