Closing the deal

    I need some help. When I meet someone I like I could chat to them for hours and hours and even flirt a little but I find it really difficult to move from the friendly place to the romantic place.

    I seem to have two modes: Friend or Slut.

    I am trying to hone my inbetween coz now have decided its time to grow up and get a proper realtionship going on and all I seem to get is mate or "mate".

    Any suggestions?

    Randomly switching from one to the other should be more than enough to keep any lad on his toes.

    Well, from a male perspective, there's really only 2 types of women in the world.

    1. Doable
    2. Undoable

    The latter are potential 'friend' material, the former aren't.

    Simple really.:)

    If you do actually meet someone you do like, tell him, and see what his reaction is. Don't fecking well throw yourself at him (well do if you're just looking for a rough half hour). Go on a few dates, and go home to your bed all by yourself, and that way you can see if you really do like him, and if he really does like you, then.... wait for it.... wait for it....

    you might just end up in a grown up relationship,

    Good luck :cool:

    I do switch between flirt and friend.

    I have been friends with a guy for years and a few months back we got together. It happens occasionally but there is no movement from that.

    Now I have met someone online that I like and have good fun chatting to but am worried that if I get all flirty he will think it is just for sex and I could end up back to square one. Yet if we just continue to talk that wont be enough either. :-(

    I suppose a big problem is confidence in a way. When am sitting chatting to a guy I know I am a nice person and up for a laugh so we get on great but I never think that they could fancy me so I dont try to move things along for fear of rejection. Yet if I wanted a shag I would have no problem sayin "boy, you, bed, now"

    37, 2 teenage sons, divorced 8 years, have had a few relationships in between. I was going out with a guy not long after I left my hubby and introduced my then 2 & 5 yr old sons to him. They adored him and when the relationship ended the 2 yr old was devestated. Since then, my kids have never known about any bf I have had as I didnt want them getting hurt again.

    Now they are 13 and 16 and I know they could handle it, I am really ready for a proper one. Most of my other ones were long distance for a good reason, it suited me to meet them only when my kids were away or if I could get away for a few days.

    As for dates, that is rare. Usually its a drunken snog in a niteclub and if I really like him I dont take him home but if am horny I do!

    Thats why its now time for something different coz I need to move some of the flirting into something more.

    So your problem is if you meet a guy sometimes you get stuck in platonic and want it to move on?

    Well if that's the case just ask dude "so are you gonna kiss me or not". It's cheeky without being slutty.

    I like it Z....only problem is then if he says "ugh no way" I will have even less confidence. Thing is people think am uber confident coz I could sit and talk to anyone about anything but I suppose the battering (almost literally) I took in my young marriage has left me feeling a little insecure about whether I am able to choose someone who wont be a total dick.

    If dude says "ugh no way" then he's not looking for the same things as you so cut him loose and put him firmly in the friendzone. Now this is going to sound a little bit sexist but they do call it the dating "game" for a reason, sometimes guys can feel a bit intimidated by uber confident girls or girls that come across that way, act a little vulnerable so he'll have a chance to bust a move.

    Life is too short for missed opportunity. Look at me, I'm stuck out here in my run down shack with only the trees, my memories and 300 cats for friends. Don't end up like me! What have you got to lose?

    A good friend will remain a friend even after such a full on approach!

    You are so right. My biggest problem has always been my super independance. I have had to been mammy and daddy to my boys, in fact my siblings and parents call me the glue coz when any of them have an issue or a problem they call me to fix it and they are all so frickin dependant on me that I never feel I can show a weak or vulnerable side coz everyone is relying on me.

    When I do break into Slutty witchie, I am a demon in bed coz I dont do soft and mushy, just **** and get out....and many guys come back for more but they dont realise that maybe I need something more from them.

    Agh, wish I hadnt started drinking so bloody early, but its a rare occasion that my sons go off to their dad so its me time until Saturday.
