I invited a girl I liked to spend holidays at my place and to make a good impression taking her out almost every day. The only thing she paid for was a train ticket and I ended up spending half of my life savings in 1 month (equivalent of 6 months wage). I later found out she was happy to visit me anyway and would be even if we just ordered food instead of going out and stuff. Anyway, we had fun so I don't regret it.

Believe it or not, keeping it real impresses a woman more than trying to impress her Smiley  This won't be the dumbest thing you'll ever do for love, though! hehe

Don't you guys have female friends to give you tips and such? 

If you want a proper relationship yeah, keep it real - if you want a quick fling or affair (in which case I wouldn't say it's "for love", but "for sex" - these are related but different) then sure, go the "impress the ladies" route.

For myself i've only ever had luck in the love life with girls who started as good friends.

Best tip of all:
Stop treating women as a mysterious entity that you need to hack, it'll make you more relaxed and you'll find it easier to talk.

The dumbest thing you can do for love is falling in love itself.

I have female friends but all they do is feed me that "I'm sure you'll find someone" crap, I think the best moment I ever had was when my Jewellery teacher had the radio on and this radio host was chatting to a girl about someone she dated and she had about 6 boyfriends previously despite being really young which totally describes the situation I'm in. That's the kind of shit I have to deal with here in the UK lol, I swear it's this country and not me that's the problem, the big thing I need right now is money so I can leave and find girls outside which I'm working on right now Tongue.

Hmh, I don't know about dumbest thing, but I did try texting a girl once and that backfired very badly, in fact, because it was text I actually posted the conversation to a friend and even she went "wtf" over the reaction to me trying to ask her out, sometimes I've asked girls I know wtf was going on and nope, just turns out I'm really unlucky and the girls I've tried for are batshit insane lol.

But you know, the batshit insane ones give life that extra little spice.  Wink

Just be sure not to have a lamp thrown at your head. And if does come to that, just make sure you've practiced a lot of dodgeball beforehand. Yay excitement!

It was a spur of the moment thing and I instantly regretted it. She was just telling me about herself and when she told me she was a vegan I stupidly blurted out "me too" lol. Had to keep it up for months. Bad times.

Keeping it real impresses some girls not all girls some would rather a fairy tale.
Indeed - but those wanting that fairy tale aren't your keepers, at least not until they're ready to settle.

Think of that fairy tale chick as an extended one night stand Wink

Wait a minute... I'm giving love tips now?!? First I'm ragging on casinos, giving hardware advice, debating about laws and shit... Jesus. Somebody please find me a thread to troll! lol

The dumbest thing I ever did for love was trying to make it work when it was clear it wasn't going to work. Don't do it, otherwise you're gonna get a place together, be psuedo-happy for a while (cause it's new and everything) but then be pretty unhappy for a while. Then you'll drift apart while still trying to force it to work, and then bam! You'll have to sort through all the crap in the apartment, wait for your ex to move out and move into your ex-best friend's place (because they're shagging now), and somehow figure out how the hell you're going to make the payments on your place by yourself.

Like I said, don't force things if it's clear it isn't gonna work.

Thank goodness I get enough supplementary income from mining...

[Edit:] Forgot to include all the stuff about mental anguish, regrets, break downs at work, sleepless nights, needing to see a counselor, thinking about your psychologists recommendation to take medication, animosity all over, and never seeing a person you care deeply about ever again.

While daydreaming on the job, I was thinking about why I had gone to such great lengths to impress girls in college. One of my more memorable accounts was when I was a freshman. I had this girl in my intro to bio class, her name was Stacy. Stacy had a giant rack and a really nice bottom. The kind that makes you do a double take if she were to bike past you. I was really into Stacy but we weren't really going anywhere with me being stuck in the friend zone. I had her facebook, so I began cyber stalking her profile. Everywhere she went, every picture she took--I had a vicarious memory of. I'd imagine I was there with her and feel happy for a moment in time.

So anyway, while I was creeping her to the max I jogged down what she liked to do, her favorite bands, restaurants, etc. I thought that the more things we had in common the better the chances of me popping the "date" question. Needless to say she felt kinda uncomfortable that I was mentioning all her favorite things all the time and we eventually stopped talking altogether. Freshman desperation, don't do it.


Wow... that sounds pathetic as hell.. lol


But everyone goes through it, there's always that girl or girls in your life that help you transform into a man.

Once I bought tickets to a concert that the girl I had a crush on (she seemed to be into me aswell!) loved. Well, we went there had an amazing night togheter, and I really thought this was going to be something. The next day she got a new boyfriend. To bad it wasn't me... Undecided

Dumbest thing I've probably done was to bring my (now ex) girlfriend on a trip even though I knew the relationship was pretty much over. I thought it might help in saving things but all it ended up doing was costing me a lot of money. Less than a month later, we were broken up and I was a bit less rich.

You live and learn!

I knew a couple who had booked a holiday together but kinda split up a month or so before the trip but went on it anyway. It didn't turn out very well. The two week holiday pretty much turned into seeing who could sleep with the most people haha. The situation would probably make a pretty funny film  Grin.

That's horrible... I would've tried to bargain and get her to sell me her ticket so I could bring another date or even a mate instead.

I feel bad for him! Unless he got some nice tail there.

I don't think tickets can be changed that quickly or easily, can they? They tried to patch things up before they went but obviously it just wasn't working. And I can't comment on the quality of shags they got, but they both had a lousy time. They still pretty much slept in the same bed at the end of the night and you can only imagine the awkwardness and animosity that caused, especially when one pulled and the other didn't haha. I would've just gone on the holiday and just paid for my own room and done my own things.
