This article: "Men
and women approach emotions from opposite ends of the scale, but attraction
is the evening out formula. As long as you're interested in dating her
instead of being her friend there are certain behaviors you need to know
about."
Dear David,
I am a 21 year old guy and I need your advice.
I am in
college and have met a very pretty girl. We hang around together and I'm
almost certain that she likes me. After a while I got her cell phone number
and gave her a call. She was nice on the phone and we talked about school,
classes and stuff. I didn't see her for a few days and decided to give her a
call again. This time she didn't answer so I sent her a text message:
"Without your smile my days are dark and my world has no light. Thank you
for being my friend."
I didn't get
a call or message back (I called her 2 or 3 times more) so after a couple
more days I texted here again: "Time moves fast but there is always time for
me to think of you."
Two more days
after that message I called her since I still didn't see her at college
where we usually hung out. She didn't pick up her phone again so I decided
to message her how I felt and how much I missed her.
I said: "I
have sent you lots of messages and haven't heard from you. I have something
important to tell you, I love you!!! I really miss you and I hope that you
are all right. You are always on my mind."
After I sent
this message she texted me back and said: "I'm OK Thanks for being worried
about me. I didn't want you to misunderstand me but I just wanted to be your
friend. Sorry if I gave you the wrong idea."
Her reply to
me really hurt. When she said she just wanted to be my friend I really felt
sick to my stomach. I texted her back: "Thanks for answering me. I hope all
works out well for you in your life with someone special. Thanks for the
memories."
I wasn't
expecting to hear from her again but she texted me again right away. She
said: "I always enjoyed being your friend. I hope I didn't make you feel
bad."
I didn't
reply anymore. I was really hurt by what she said. After a couple of days
she texted me again and said "Everyone needs friends, and a lot of the time
you don't even know where they are or the impact they have on your life. I
want to keep our friendship going."
I don't even
understand her any more. I told her I love her and she says she just wants
to be my friend. I let her go and after a couple of days she sends me that I
don't know what she means. I really need your advice about what i should be
doing next with her.
Please tell
me what she means!
Do I keep
being her friend?
The last
thing I said to her was that she is special to me but I don't really want to
be just her friend.
Is she
playing with me? If I'm so important to her, what does this all mean? She
doesn't want to lose me but should I still be her friend?
Please tell
me what you think she means from her messages.
Thanks,
RD

Thanks for joining all the rest of us guys by being just as confused
whenever the issue of "being friends" intrudes on your romantic desires.
I really wish
there was a way to tell in advance when a woman is going to reject a guy and
say "Can we still be friends?"
What really
stood out for me in your letter was show much of a wussy you are.
Seriously,
every guy that behaves the way you did is sure as heck going to be rejected
for not being "boyfriend material".
Sure, you
hung out with her, maybe shared some laughs. I bet you bought her some small
things too. Little "gifts" or things that you thought she would like. And
all this before knowing if she was willing to date you.
You really
skipped a few steps here, didn't you? And you paid the price.
Whenever she
sees you now she's going to see the guy that "didn't make it" with her.
Rejection doesn't wear off all that easily, just like a black magic marker
"R" on your forehead.
When she at
first didn't hang out with you for a couple of days, what did you do? You
missed her... but way too much! If you've learned anything from my articles
and newsletters then you should have known to not waste your time waiting
for her. You should have used this "break" as an opportunity to meet other
women, while still keeping a lookout for her.
The wussy
thing to do, which you did, was take the time that you didn't see her and
make it worse in your head by missing her, to the point that you broke down
and actually texted her that you love her.
You couldn't
even wait for a first date or even long enough to say it to her face!!!
Wussy!
It's no
wonder why she blew you off, but wants to make herself not feel bad by
saying she wants to still be your friend.
Ha!
You reached
too far and lost an arm.
Now then,
what you should have done (and what every other guy should do that finds
himself in this position) is:
1) Meet more
women and date without being exclusive. You see, when a guy is dating a lot
of girls his "real value" goes up and his "Wussy Factor" goes way down.
Women really do like competing over guys, but if you're not dating, just
"lurking" and waiting for her to "discover your love for her" you've already
lost.
2) Texting is
a great way to say "Let's meet here" or whatever. Not for emotions to run
rampant. If you've paid attention to being "Cocky and Funny" you should have
realized that it's not your job to run with your emotions, it's your job to
create interest and let her emotions do the rest.
3) Busting on
her is a great way to create her interest in you. Don't be so serious.
You're not in that "relationship place' yet. You don't hear from her in a
few days? Bust on her "Are you still here on planet earth?", "Did you get
arrested because I heard all the jails are full?", "This is an automated
message: Contact (your name) for a chance to win to buy him dinner!" That's
what you should have been texting and if you've read my ebook I wouldn't
have to bust on you about this stuff!
Now, to
completely answer your questions:
Sure, be her
friend but don't be available as her friend like you've been so far. I often
say "Give her the gift of missing you" but in this case, she's not going to
miss you. Stay as friends but date other women. Maybe a little bit of
jealousy can get you where you want to be with her, maybe not. But at least
you can have some fun as you try!
Yes, she's
playing with you. When a woman's emotions aren't involved in her decision
making process, you aren't ever going to be "boyfriend material" and she'll
keep shopping. But she just might put you in the "man as girlfriend role"
and spill all her complaints and heartache on you. Don't let her do that.
You might think you're getting closer to her but you'd be wrong. Once she
starts crying on your shoulder about her friends, maybe even about her
current boyfriend, you've lost. Don't go down that road.
Her messages
and the time between them scream loud and clear that she's done with you as
far as dating goes. My advice is to move on. Reread what I've written here
and make the best sense of it you can.
 And
if anything I've written here makes any sense to you, if you've ever been in
the same situation and lost the girl, this is your wakeup call. It's time to
shed that "Wussy-ness" and become the type of guy that get's to pick and
choose from all the women around him for a date(s).
It's not
going to happen overnight, but it can start tonight and/or tomorrow. And the
starting point is reading my ebook "Double Your Dating".

P.S. As you can probably imagine, I get a TON of email... So if you'd like
to send me a Success Story, Question, or Comment, follow these guidelines:
1) Keep it short and to the point. Two paragraphs max.
2) Tell me what's working for you before you ask your question. I appreciate
all of the "Your stuff is great" and "I don't need to tell you how well your
stuff works" comments, but the fact is that I DO need to hear all of the
specifics... because this helps other guys to see what's working in
different situations.
3) If you have a Success Story, write "Success Story" in the subject line of
the email. I read these first.
4) At the end of the email, give me your initials and tell me where you're
from.
5) Send it to me at:
