i think what's worse is the big dog whose nose is crotch level and that is where he sticks it upon meeting people. i was at someone's house last week where i had that happen. the owner was mortified, but it has to happen constantly, i would think.
My experience was to be honest with women and not play stupid games. Just show I'm nicely interested. Little hearts get warm and open up in a cute way:) Isn't this the way men and women met each other all these thousands of years? I think so.
"That's a nice dress. It'd look good on my bedroom floor."
Yep...I've met a few of those! And what's worse is when they catch you from behind...
Then there was my dachshund, who had a thing for undergarments. It's just soooo fun when you have a bunch of guests over and your little dog comes charging into the crowd dragging a pair of panties. *blush*
All of which has nothing to do with dating. ;-) It isn't exactly a good way to impress potential dates, either!
Ain't that always the way.
oh yeah! loosh is a HUGE unabashed panty chewer! he has never pulled any undergarments out in the middle of a gathering though!
;-)
I won't say a thing.... ;-)
Exactly, and the tactics taught in these seminars can be quite effective in attracting/seducing women like that...
Those women function in a relatively small world. If they don't know who you are before you walk up to them, they'll certainly know who you are after the fourth sentence out of your mouth. There really are no effective "tactics" that can disguise who you are in those situations.
Well if you went to charm school, you must have graduated with honors! :P
I have to question that logic. My wife's first words to me, ever, were, "You're too short." It summed up her entire feelings about me in not only those first few minutes, but probably days as well. Obviously, I got past that.
I'm your complete opposite. I'm as ugly as homemade sin, but it never hindered me in the slightest. I don't know if I was really confident or not, but I've never had difficulty talking with or flirting with women.
My point is - there is no one size fits all. Perhaps young, inexperienced women will be attracted to a man full of confidence. Then there are those who have been burned by self-assured jerks and find a shy man intriguing.
I find it amusing that you just assume that experienced, mature women wouldn't find a confident man appealing. I mean no insult by this whatsoever, but I'd lay odds that it's a belief that you've convinced yourself of to make yourself feel better.
Obviously she didnt decide you were on the "never will" list. :)
I am the most shy person you'll ever meet.. hell I had an anxiety attack right before the first date with my wife! I remember that day like it was yesterday... after a couple of minutes doing breathing exercises, I headed out to meet my future wife and take her out for dinner and the movies.
you know what got me the love of my life?
determination, respect, love, honesty, manners, and being a gentleman at every opportunity... the rest is history.
Interesting. Being a thrill addicted, adrenaline loving bad boy is what attracted my wife to me, and 15 years later, it's still working.
I guess there's no sure-fire method. we are all halves.. love happens when we meet the other half of us :)
