Return of the *Official* Relationship Advice Thread

The best kind.

I wonder if I should ask Cleverbot for relationship advice.

 

[Erzengel]

So how do you continue a conversation if you ask a question, and the other person just responds with the answer and nothing else to go on? (dating site) I would usually just cut ties and move on, but maybe that's why nothing ever seems to move forward.

I think if it's like pulling teeth to get them to talk maybe it's best to cut ties and move on. However, I would try and initiate conversation at least a couple of times before doing so. She could just be shy or new to this type of dating. I'd give her a few more shots especially if you are just conversing via the site.

Will someone please tell me what I did RIGHT?

As you all know by know, I've fallen hard for a bat**** insane chick. Anyways, today I saw a Tweet from her that some pretty drastic stuff happened to her today (I really won't go into detail because it's her personal life) and I just replied with the typical "I'm sorry to hear that..." thing. I said "DM me if you need someone to talk, I'm heading out and won't be home". She DM'd me with her number saying "I figured this would be easier...".

I had no plans on asking her for her number or anything like that, I was just trying to be there for her. So, wtf do I do now?

 

[WillardNation]

Run.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I was considering it, but as I typed that, I texted "Hey, what's up?". Whoops.

 

[WillardNation]

Ok, plan B. **** her, then disappear.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

If her name was you know who's, I'd be all for it.

Just realize that if you DO make that call and she gets your number, don't be shocked when you get a barrage of calls from her about every little da*n thing that happens in her life..(also known as 'no peace for you sucka')

Like when this girl sends me a text everytime she walks her dog?

..more like about what the dog pooped out during the walk..it has potential to be brutal, I'm tellin' ya...

This gets my vote.

 

[terry78]

"Heyyyy, what are you up to?" Anytime a girl starts out a call or text with that, and you KNOW you're not getting any booty out of that deal, get up out that piece.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Wow, you guys are extremely rude. She isn't one to complain about trivial **** like dog poops or whatever, she just went through some extremely ****ed up stuff today, and it was just one thing added to the list of other extremely ****** things.

I'm not even trying to get any booty from her, as good looking as she is. I just want to see if I can talk to a girl without completely ****ing everything up.

Taking advice from single lonely men on the internet, damn. New low for me.

 

[Hound55]

I'm not single.

...no, I don't know how either.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Hound, you didn't say anything impolite thinking you were clever or cool.

Y'know, from reading this post, your attitude towards both the comments posted, and the woman you are wanting to talk to...it doesn't sound like you need any advice at all.

All you need to do is be confident, it sounds like she will do a lot of the talking, and it counds like you won't be a phoney baloney or anything, sounds like you would be genuine with her, the only thing that you sound like you need to keep a grip of is your confidence.
Just, y'know, don't overthink things, just talk, respond to what she says without putting any great pressure on yourself(as you said you have blown it talking to girls specifically, so it sounds like you have put too much pressure on yourself by thinking about it too much), just be cool, be smart, if you can help her and make her feel better about things, great, and if there is any chemistry that you both feel is generated from the convos, great, just talk and let anything that comes of it, friendship, relationship, happen naturally.

Look guy..I actually wasn't trying to be all that rude..I've walked the bat-s**t crazy route before and even with your best intentions it can wind up being a bit more than you wanted in the first place. That's what I meant..

..you probably mean well for her..good for you! If you're really worried about the call just think of what you would say to comfort a guy buddy of yours or something..take some of this pressure off that you're giving yourself. Keep that in mind when you talk to her and as was said before..don't put on an act or anything..just be yourself

>insert clever statement here<

In all seriousness, crazy is fun for a fling, but not for a friend. If she's really imbalanced, then RUN RUN RUN!
If she's just having a bad day, then cool, be there for her. If her 'bad day' happens for longer than 24 hrs, seriously consider letting her go to VM whenever she calls.

 

[Erzengel]

First off, women are crazy. Then again, so are men.

To be naive to think that there is some sort of sane, well developed, person out there for you that's never going to test the limits of your own sanity, then you must be thinking of some sort of Sexbot.

Let me finish with this. Crazy + Sex = :heart:

I think the biggest thing you need to do before calling is decide what you really want here. You say you've fallen hard for her and how good looking she is, but you just want to be friends. If you've fallen hard, it's gonna be really tough being friends with her because you'll want to be with her and hoping at some point she'll feel the same. Then, when she does meet someone it'll really be hard because you'll be thinking what does he have that I don't, the difference will have been he took the chance and asked her out. So if you want to be with her ask her out, a date might be just what she needs right now to get her mind off whatever's happening. Do not try to strike up a friendship in the hopes that she'll someday date you because that will not happen.

Word. One of the smartest things I've ever heard was a girl I'm friends say, "We're all crazy. We're never going to find somebody to be with who's not crazy. The best thing we can hope for is to find somebody whose crazy is compatible with our crazy."

 

[greenrage36]

Very true..although an extra dose of crazy in some females usually translates to in the sack-ola!

This.

Girls always give me ****, telling me I always go for the "crazy" ones. I tell 'em "I need 'em a little bit crazy, otherwise, where's the fun?"

Yup, pretty much.
