I've told men they were handsome before. It means nothing. Just like I've complemented females before.

Either she says something, or you can just say, "I like the way you say that."

It's simple, not crazy, and if there's any potential chemistry, the rest will just flow. It doesn't sound too full of yourself or weird, and you only need to do it with a nice smile and friendly tone of voice.

Even though getting to meet someone seems to be the choke point for most folks, the hard part is not meeting but creating a good relationship. Meeting is just a small hurdle and shouldn't be seen as a terrifying experience.


Is this really working for you? If so by all means, but could see this getting awkward real fast.

Maybe it's how you say it. It worked so well I had to stop saying it, or my new bride would have killed me. :lol:
But I got a number of great years from it ... can't talk about that now (see above reference to wife)

Keep it up. I probably set my expectations up too high when she said that, but was still really flattered the rest of the night

Telling a random guy they are handsome? What's the point of that?

I understand complimenting their smile, eyes, hair, clothing, or fragrance. But generally complementing their looks (cute/handsome)? Hmm . . .

That's called a sh*t test. Girls do this a lot, she's just throwing some curveball out there just to see how you'll react. Basically she's checking out your solidity, see if you can handle the situation, or if you are just going to lose your composure and fall apart.

I get that boyfriend BS everytime, and I just keep going and acting as if she didn't say anything. Even if it's true, every signal she sends indicates that she's willing to drop him anyway if you're the real deal.

Sh*t tests come in various forms, "you're too young/old", "I like girls", "you're not my type" and so on. Just brush these off and keep going.

Generally the best advice, although a good friend asked a woman who told him she had a boyfriend, "But you'd cheat on him with the right guy, right? "

As it turned out, she wouldn't cheat on her bf with my friend. :lol:

Haha yeah you have to play it smooth though. That line was way too blatant and guilt-inducing to work.

One thing I always keep in mind when talking a girl into sleeping with me, is that she never wants to feel like she's responsible for anything that's happening. Plausible deniability. That's some real stuff there. No matter how into you she might be, if she's feeling too slutty in the process, you'll spend the night alone.

I think you're right for about 95% of the women out there. Unless you're looking for the sluttier 5%.

Ooh sh*t tests are the worst. Especially all the mixed signals, I end up backing off sometimes instead of going through the obstacle course. Like some girls I know who will dm you all day on social media "good morning" "what ya doing now" etc, then when you see em in person be completely cold like they don't know you.

yeah 100%, that's why I dislike virtual interactions with girls so much. Too damn deceiving. You can't figure out tone, body language, mood, no eye to eye contact, no nothing. I keep these to a minimum.

Is that not the same thing really?

I don't see the issue. I personally get a kick out of seeing grown men blush. :lol:

Quick update, some other chick gave me her number on a piece of paper. We were both interested initially but once we got to know each other it just didn't work out. I've also been approaching other chicks but nothing panned out yet.

Anyway, question, what do you think about waving or putting a hand up to notion "hi" to a random chick? Sometimes I'm in a situation where theres traffic and I just want to get a chick's attention. Is that a weak approach?

That was your mistake right there.

You always give it at least 2 days, you don't want to seem to desperate.

By the way, what did you text her?
