As David said, leave it. If she was really into you, she wouldn't be thinking of dumping him. She would of. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's better than getting yourself into some complicated relationship.

It will only end in tears - wait till she begs you to go out with her.

Women like that deserve no attention at all.

Tell her unless she's rid of the other guy and serious about wanting to go out somewhere with you then just forget the idea.

Worked a charm for me on a couple of occasions, because you find out if the girl is really interested or not, and you dont lose out if she isn't. Granted for me its usually worked out for the better and i've managed to get a bit ;) but saves you the hassle if she goes out with you then decides she wants her bf back or something.

she has got rid of the guy she single now

Hmm!

That was rather quick..don't you think?

I'd be very careful with this girl..she sounds the sort that will keep/string a bloke until someone better comes along.

Best to not invest too much into the relationship to begin with..just have some fun but be ready when boredom sets in.;)

she not really like that she coun't him cheating on her and she give him a 2nd chance but then he was just doing her head in and texting her bad stuff say if i wanted to go out with the person whats the best way to get her to say yes and she said i don't know yet your a good mate to me i don't want us to fall out

sounds like she is stringing you alone and probably others and keeping you in reserve and generally a waste of space. I'd just delete her number.

firstly I'd tell her I have no interest in any of this she's talking about.

she's the sort who will use you matey. and as said by others will drop you as soon as something more exciting comes along.

oh and she's taking the P out of you - wake up.

Going out with/sleeping with someone at work is ok until you break up, then it becomes awkward for you and everyone who knows about it. Advice from someone who's gone through it, steer clear.

etccarmageddon
17-11-2008, 16:37
but if you really want her - then a girl like that responds better to someone who doesnt run after her and tells her he's lost interest.

she just turned round to me and said that she would go out with me

the next day i text her asking is there any chance for me and her she replyed i don't know yet your a good mate to me

yeah you're right she's not the type to string you along!

---------- Post added at 16:56 ---------- Previous post was at 16:53 ----------

ok, in answer to your question I will repeat myself, the best way to give it a shot is to delete her number, tell her you're bored and you need sex and you aren't her agony uncle and dont give a poo about her previous relationships. also tell her you're not sure if she could handle you anyway cos you're a real man. I am not joking.

sorry mate for not useing full stops. We were talking at work on a break and car't remmber it all we were talking about 2 orther people at work going out with each orther and what we reckon to it and i think i turned round and said wounder if that will every happen to me? she said she would go out with me but i thought she was just joking so i left it like that. We finishes the shift fine no promblems we still spoke thats when i text her once we finishes just to she if she ment it and she said she wasn't joking. But she sort of seeing the lad who i got told by her she finishes with him becouse he was cheating on her but she give him a norther chance but did not want to say anything incase people started asking her why? But now she finishes with him becouse he was texting her bad stuff and doing her head in couse i asked her how she getting on with him and she said she finishes with him. So i texted her later asking her she said she doesn't know she doesn't want to lose me as a good mate.

The best way to convince her is not to try. If she's genuinely interested, she'll come after you.

etccarmageddon
17-11-2008, 17:11
essential homework for you:- www.imdb.com/title/tt0098160

you are over analising it all.

and, do you want to be with a girl who gives someone a 2nd chance after cheating on her?

if ever there is another man on the scene you should stay well clear as she'll get a kick out of it and she will cherry pick.

Take Chris's advice, just because you got the hots for her don't mean to say you should loose your head and run around after her.

If its gonna happen it'll happen, let it run its own course without other people trying to offer advice.

Thats my advice :erm:

Chris
17-11-2008, 17:14
do you think that she needs me to prove that it will work so she knows that she woun't lose me as a mate?No, she needs to feel wanted, which is why she wants you to chase her, and why she gave her boyfriend a second chance, and why she has dumped him (she will be hoping for him to try to get her back).

Stay. Well. Clear.

Although I don't think you started this thread to find out what other people think, I think you started it to try to get people to agree with what you've already decided you want to do, and you're going to ignore anyone who says something different. ;)

etccarmageddon
17-11-2008, 17:17
do you think that she needs me to prove that it will work so she knows that she woun't lose me as a mate?no, she's just coming up with excuses when she says she dont want to lose you etc.

what's she's saying is.... I need a man to put me in my place and stand up to me. but no, you dont stand up to her instead you pander to her excuses.

tell her she had her chance and blew it.

in fact tell her nothing. just leave well alone, and watch the movie.

---------- Post added at 17:17 ---------- Previous post was at 17:15 ----------

No, she needs to feel wanted, which is why she wants you to chase her, and why she gave her boyfriend a second chance, and why she has dumped him (she will be hoping for him to try to get her back).Chris is right - in her ideal world she has both of you chasing after her and will use you as a way of making her ex want her.

next time she texts you, text her this "I think there is something still going on between you and [insert name] so I am walking away"

and then ignore her reply.

I guarantee it will at least make her respect you a little bit more than she does now.

At the moment she is obviously not happy with her current guy and you are the next best thing to her.
If I was you I would leave it for a while. If you do go out it could easily be a rebound thing and she is using you to feel better about herself and forget her other guy.

If given time she is still interested in you and it is clear that she wants a relationship with you then go for it.

If you are the type of guy who just wants a bit of fun, then act now and see where it goes but you may get hurt. If you want to have a proper relationship, be a friend to her at the moment and see how it develops over time. Don't rush things as right now her feelings will be all over the place and you may end up getting hurt.


Good luck.

Dont even start to try and understand how a womans brain works! ;)

The last thing you want to do is show her you're interested. She may be one of those women who like to have what they can't get? In which case you're doing yourself no favours by showing you're willing. My advice would be to play it cool, step back and let her do the chasing.

As I said - you don't want to know our advice for dealing with the real situation as it actually is. You've already decided you want to go after her and you want us to give you chat-up lines.

Well it aint going to happen - not from me, anyway, and not from most of the people who have posted in here so far.

What you have already posted about her is enough for us to work out that she is not "scared incase (sic) it doesn't work out". There doesn't seem to be any point giving you advice for dealing with a situation that doesn't exist.

she's probably used you as a safety net.

---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:37 ----------

here's another suggestion for you but it requires confidence.

when you chat to her you back off regarding wanting her and also when talking about her ex dont run him down, tell her that you actually think he's a great guy and probably marriage material.

mention the marriage thing no more than once a day as you need to be subtle.


I know it works cos me and my mate both fancied this girl but whenever I was around he'd run me down in front of her - taking the P out of me. It put her off me. Anyway, one day I was with her chatting and we were talking about my mate and I said lots of nice things about him - did that for the next couple of times I met her and she started talking about a night out she had planned - told her she should ask my mate. She said nope, and said she wanted to be with me.

A couple of days later he rings me up saying he'd bumped into her and she was cold and "what have you said to her about me?". I, of course was completely innocent as I'd only said nice things!


talking to that girl you fancy about marriage to that other bloke will get her thinking and it'll be just as bad as if he'd suggested it - she'll worry.

think like this... how would you feel if you just (sort of) broke up with your g/f then another girl was trying to get you to go out with her and was willing to put up with you dithering and messing her around.... if she kept chasing you would you want her? nope cos you'd think she's a mug but if she said "get stuffed" you'd properly respect her.

wwe if you do get involved with this person, whatever you do remember what happened with the last 'friend' that took advantage of your kind nature & 'borrowed' a load of money that afaik never was paid back.

Only seeing 'good' in people isn't necessarily a 'bad' thing - so long as you know you may be prone to it, because there are some who will just use that to their own purpose.

When you do find someone interested in just who you are, not what you can do for them, then that is the start of a true friendship :)

Leave it mate by the sounds of it she's just after a bit on the side, if she's seeing someone and seeing you what's to say she'll not do the same to you when she wants a change in a few months. Relationships need a cooling off period when you've finished with someone, jumping into another relationship is not good.

Hey, go with what you think! Everytime someone's said just leave it you stick up for her, so clearly your already running after her. My advice, is unless your going to agree then don't ask for advice. Other than that, go with what you think, I was friends with a girl for over a year, best friends to say the least, previously dated her but she wasn't ready for another relationship, just coming out of one for 10 months, but I never lost interest and then back in April we got together again, and 7 months on we're still together... Whether this sounds gay or not, go with your heart, at least if things don't work out, you know you made your own decisions. Worked for me, and I'm thick!:nutter:

After reading the first page and a couple of snippets here and there , I agree.

Wake up man, in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this, is it what I really want ? can I do better ? Do I need the baggage that this ' relationship ' is gonna bring.

In the long run, reading between the lines, don't do it, she sounds like high maintenance / hard work.
