    In need of dating advice: Staying out of the "Friend Zone"


    I am sure you are all familiar with my concern but heres my story.


    Theres this girl in my IR class, I wanna ask her out and am not sure quite how to do it (Its been years since ive been in a relationship, never found someone i wanted to be with that wasnt with someone else)

    She came in a day late and when she introduced herself she mentioned she was a sociology major

    she also had the same last name as a girl from a few of my other history classes. So after class I walked up to her and asked if she was related. They arent but they do know each other. I mentioned I was a soc. major too and asked what her favorite topics were in the field, she just started out I mentioned doing outside reading is a huge help and that I made an attempt at the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism, she samed genuinely interested and sincere regarding my talking about sociology and we walked out of class together talked about our highschool, if she remembered anything from the IR class there and I casually mentioned my Sun Wukong reference (regarding mao and buddhism) which no one seemed to get. It may have been a step backwards for me idk

    I am not great at directly asking people out, if things go bad it could be strange for the next 16 weeks (or at least 4 or 5 of them). I fear if we try to bond over something like church/sect theory I may get caught in the friend zone. What should I say/do?

    First of all you must ask yourself an allmighty important question when confronted with such a situation:

    "Do I want to fuck her or do I want to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her?"

    The obvious anser to the second portion of that question is; NO! You are way to young for that and as has been demonstrated by many writings here it is just not worth it anyway so I will not bother to explain.

    If you think that the social awkwardness is wortha fuck then go for it. If not forget it. But as an old college buddy of mine once said to me: "in situations like this think with your dick." There have been many many times when I have ignored that advice and deeply regretted it. Do not make that same mistake.

    Do not get all caught up in this "oh she has a boyfriend so therefore I should back off" bullshit. She is a young college girl and she is thinking about the exact same shit you are. Do not lie I know exactly what you are thinking!

    Also, and this is crucial, DO NOT OFFER TO TAKE HER OUT ON A DATE IN WHICH YOU PAY FOR ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING! Female affection is abundant and totaly free so do not ever pay for it indirectly through the auspicies of a date. EVER!

    Simply try to engineer some time alone together. Mention a movie that you think she would like that has to do with Sociology or something like that( do not limit that approach as there are a miriad of things that you could suggest that will get you alone with her-which is what she wants if she has expressed interest in you) that will get her to say "sure lets do that together I would like that very much."

    Do not wait too long to do this!

    When you do it make sure that you let HER make the first move! Women always want to make men resposible for failed meeitngs as to avoid resposibility for THEM not getting laid. If she does not make the first move then forget about her.....PERIOD. If she does then go with it getto style. That is what she wants.

    WEAR A FUCKING CONDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If thing do not work out simply move on to the next girl who will almost undoubtably present herself to you just like this one did.

    FORGET ANY KIND OF ROMANTIC SAPPY ASS BULLSHIT YOU MAY HAVE DREAMED ABOUT THAT STUFF IS SIMPLY A MYTH!!

    Advice from a man who has been through it all. Seriously.


    I want a full report if things work out.
    Do not ever suppose that a small group of people can never change the world. INDEED it is the only thing that ever has.

    Re: In need of dating advice: Staying out of the "Friend Zone"

    I can't really advise, because 90% of my relationships have been with women who have approached me... hence I now stay clear of women who come to me lol.

    I have asked women out, but only once I've got the clear understanding they're ok with me.

    So, I guess I would just pick a moment when you both aren't overly busy and simply ask her out for a drink. The last time I did that I wasn't 100% whether she liked me or not, but once I'd asked her she was kinda.... doing the female swooning thing, "What.. me? Go out...? for a drink..? Oh gawwwsh, I'd love to... uh... me?"

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    Re: In need of dating advice: Staying out of the "Friend Zone"

    How about just striking up a conversation with her just after class. If things are getting in a grove, ask her for a coffee straight away. If you still like her after chating for a bit, then give her a few - BUT GENUINE complements - this llets her know you are a man, and she is a woman. If you get good signals back, ask her on a date BUT have somewhere in mind to go! Art gallery? I found that a good place is somewhere where there is live music and you can dance. This creates physical contact and a fun atmosphere. Personally I took a few salsa lessons so I can twril girls around - it does work (-: Remember, even "good" pick up artists say that it takes at least 8 hours of contact before you go to bed, so don't rush it. Enjoy her company, learn a few interesting fun things (look up Neil Strauss; "The Cube" test, it generates a few laughts).

    If the sparks don't fly, then don't push it. Sometimes the chemistry does not work out - remember she will have friends and this gets you into her network, and vice versa her friends will get into your network or friends. This is what its all about HAVING fun.

    Remember that HALF of the world are women, so if it does not work out with her, there are lots more fish in the sea, and EVERY woman (like every man) has something magical and super to offer

    In case you are all wondering we tried to do things a few times but she works like crazy. As far as I am concerned, if she doesn't have time to spend with me its not worth pursuing the relationship.

    When someone is "married" to their work or study its difficult - but she still has urges. What is she studying? Is there a lecture on what she is studying in the city/some famous professor coming to lecture on her topic in a neighbouring university? This way you get "proximity" to her. Then make the journey to the destination fun - maybe make a small detour to a romantic spot?

    Well, 2 choices: ask her out on a date before the "friend" stuff starts, or wait for her to make a move. Don't be afraid of rejection, it happens to all of us. As the famous Zen philosopher Yoda said: "Do or Do Not, There is no try"

    Yup, as the possible Human yes, "get on with it". Right now you are probably obsessing/thining about her. Make your move, and if it does not work out, move on. Life is short and you need to make the most of it.
