Julliana- totally understand, as long as we are on the same page.

thimsrebma- how awkward would it be for that guy, if he was your husband, to make you eggs and bacon for breakfast every Saturday morning, ha ha.

They removed my topless bodybuilder ( sorry for the rule breaking, didnt even cross my mind) so here are some more clothed ones.

Batman - I would love anyone to make me breakfast in the morning.

Aaron (NukePooch) told a story on here once of a girl that just showed up where he worked with a batch of brownies she make him. He said that it felt like she was a total stalker....so yea, can't say that advice would work on every man. ;)

(keep in mind, I do remember Aaron saying that he knows that he did not ever tell the girl where he worked...so she had to *find out* that info. To some guys this may seem sweet that she went through all that work....but yea, to some it just gives the impression of stalker and desperate.)
I actually thought quite a few of the original post's 'suggestions' might push me away...but nothing goes anywhere near as far as Brownie Girl. I had only talked to her once on the phone (had never met her before, she got my number from a 'friend')...What can I say? Sometimes you got it, and well, sometimes you wish you didn't.


(And it's interesting that you remember that...I almost had forgotten myself.)

My experience is that if someone likes me then they will tell me. I look a lot different than most people so I don't generally start conversations with people because of the reactions I get from the tattoos and piercings. So most girlfriends i ever find really find me. I am generally a strong person and very social but I also know the effect my appearance has on people so I tend to lay back and let a girl talk to me first.

Well shuckie doodles, here I was, all set to show up at the place where NukePooch buys his magazines about Porsches... and with a huge plate of cookie bars to boot... But, I guess that's all any poor girl who is trying so hard to impress Mr. Pooch will get--the boot! :D

I know you, Seoul, and I trust you, so bring on the cookie bars. Chocolate chip, please...and some butterscotch chips too. And caramel chips. And fudge chips.

Thing is, anyone who'll catch my eye will already know me. I'm so NOT into dating strangers that other people will tell me that someone (a waitress or whatever) was flirting and I simply don't notice. I've got to know some of a woman's issues before I'll even consider dating her. It'll take more than Chocolate chip-fudge-butterscotch-caramel cookie bars to win me over. What? You brought an extra-large dark roast to go with the cookie bars? ~swoon~ I'm yours.

What?! I protest. This picture is totally inaccurate.

Where is the big club that the woman should be carrying?! After all, we ALL know that's the REAL secret to a woman conquering (er, pursuing without pursuing) a man... :D

(Maybe I just need a bigger club, because obviously I haven't captured myself a man yet...)

A club won't work...all you need to do is be interested in what a man is interested in...

Hey Batman, I might be the only few who will agree with your suggestions but practically as a TRUE christians that's what it supposed to be. We do are entitled to our own opinions, but the question is, Is our actions does conform according to God's word? ;)

or if you're a woman, you could just grow up, skip the childish games and speak up.
fact of the matter is men are not as naturally suited to pick up subtlety. thats one of the biggest communication problems with men and women. women speak in signals, men speak directly.
to look at a man you're attracted to and suppose he's not man enough to head a family because he hasn't asked you out is unfounded and unproven. also, its presumptuous. that guy may have asked out and been turned down the last 10 times and now is a bit gun shy. or maybe he's just a shy person, but often the dynamics of a persons personality can alter within the context of a relationship. a person who's shy in public, doesn't mean a pansy in the household. he may still have a quiet inner strength that he's comfortable with within the context of a relationship.
and there could be other possibilities and reasons as well, thats just starters.

People are different. Ugly's approach might work on some guys, Batman's on others. There may even be a guy who would swoon over (cringe) Brownie Girl. But as Christians, I think it's important to keep Christ at the center of our dating/pursuing/flirting. If He is leading you, then you can't go wrong, unless maybe you start pursuing guys in a car at an unsafe speed. lol, Nod ;)

Well said Snackersmom.

Thanx for your comment chrisdael.

I will say that everything begins with the intention of the heart, and the thats the hard part as you really dont know what really lies in anyone's heart.

As for the ladies, sometimes we guys can be so forlorn (hope thats the right word) so we need a nudge here and there.

All of the best.
