It seems like every time I've just come out and told a girl I liked her, she's gotten all uncomfortable or run away. So, I have no incentive to be forward any more :p
*snort*

It only takes one to reciprocate...just one... ;)

What works? My favorite thing is when a single gives a married advice on how to run their marriage.
I actually have married friends who ask me for advice. Mostly because I'm an outsider looking in and am not too close to the situation.

And those who offer unsolicited advice...well, again...they're on the outside looking in and may offer a fresh perspective. Don't discount someone just because they haven't experienced it. I listen to childless people's perspective. I don't always adhere to it, but I listen.

Yes, but a lot of guys don't want just one, they treat girls like Pokemon.

Gotta catch them all

Even if they don't want to date multiple girls, they want multiple girls to be attracted them or it just isn't good enough :D

I tend to hate games unless it is something to do with a friend.

Yeah. Totally guilty of this. And you know what? I still think my advice was correct, so there. :satisfied: :smirk:

what are you going to do when you run out of classic films to watch?

Hello, Mr. Randomosity...lol. Pretty sure that won't happen, Trent, and IF it did, I'd just rewatch them.

Right?? I have been attracted to men and hear them whining that there's "no girls out there who like me!!!1!1!!" and I'm like...."guess you mean REALLY HOT girls, right?" :D

I'll admit, I've had a few guys interested in me, but they were waaay wrong for me and the boys so it didn't work out. *shrug*

Looks don't honestly matter. If I find a true Godly woman who is everything she needs to be and whenever I get to the point of I'm everything I need to be. That will be awesome.

ok, you guys are right. a single can give good advice to a married as an outsider, researcher, someone who remembers singleness, etc. whatever you say as a single could be said by another married and so it can be considered.

And just because someone is married does not make their advice somehow more accurate. That reminds me of people who marry and suddenly think they are the great advisers to all the singles. (it happens here)

revised statement:

There are people who are single and give advice to marrieds who later marry and would never in a million years follow their own advice because simple experience would tell them their advice is wrong.

Some people do give advice to ruin others. But aside from that, all advisers think they are giving good advice. Everyone believes their own beliefs.

But you are a fibber because I highly doubt your momma named you "Strider"

Unless she was just that huge of a LOTR fan :eheh:

My best friend has a wife and daughter and when he gets home from work spends more time on Black Ops 2 than with his family. Sickens me.

Yes. This is it. Feeling like you're being ignored for video games. Though this applies to sports too.

I'm a people person. I prefer to sit and talk than play video games or watch a movie.

I don't get it - all these ladies complain about being ignored by men (not so much on here; I mean in real life primarily), but there are plenty of guys who would rather spend quality time with people than do anything else. So why is it that the guys who they date are the gamers and sports addicts who ignore them? Why is it that "I want a man who will spend time with me" always carries an unspoken "but not you!"

I know I'm not good company one-on-one but it happens to a lot more men than me. Sometimes I think it's worth more if a man would rather play video games or watch football but chooses to spend time with a lady in spite of his preference, than if he really prefers quality time with her to anything else.

It's sad these days. Gals on FB are always all the good Godly hard working men are all taken! I'm always like, Uh I'm not. :p
