Getting Dates


This advice is for Ellen Nicole who asked;

 "I have a 2 part question. All of the guys I know are pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure none of them will ever ask me out. So 1. What motivates a guy to ask a girl out, and how can I encourage this. And 2. Where can I go to meet new guys who would be more inclined to ask me out on a date?"

Well played Nicole. I usually only answer one question at a time but you forced my hand and made me answer two!  That kind of bold determination is sure to get you many future dates.  

To honestly answer your question I have no idea what motivates most guys to ask girls out. I can only speak for myself and what I look for in someone to date. Listed below are a few of those things.

-Courage. As much as men would hate to admit it, women actually have a lot more power to decide when a relationship will be allowed to occur.  We are just to brainless drones that have to do all the work and cover all the expenses. If you want to date someone just find a way to tell them you do!! If the guy really likes you he won't get weird about it.

-Touch.  Nothing tells a boy that you like him more than touch.  If you don't want him, then keep your filthy hands off him!

-Be cool. People have this notion that you have to go on official dates in order to start a relationship with someone. I feel like this is false and that often times dates bring a lot of unnecessary pressure . Every relationship I have ever had started with just having a good time and getting to know each other. If you want to start dating after that then you will just find time to be alone. Why can't we just be human beings who do things together and like each other people!!

Now where to find guys.  This all depends on what type of guys you are trying to find. Below you will find a few different types of guys and where to find them.


Cowboys












You may find this type of guy hanging out in the jean section of  Wal-mart. If he isn't buying Wranglers then he is a poser cowboy and you should avoid these types at all costs.  You may also find this type of guy spiting tobacco into a bin or riding a horse into the sunset. 

 Bodybuilders
















This type of guy spend 50% of his time at the gym and the other 50% of his time at some body of water. You may ask when he sleeps. He would reply "That's what Redbulls are for girl. Now get over her and put out!", to which you can either choose to accept or find some other body of water to swim in.


Nerds
















The best way to find a nerd in online. That is where they are most appealing as well.  If you are more into face to face interaction you may find one of these handsome devils at the Dragons Den card shop finishing the final rounds of the Friday night Magic the Gathering tournament or in his room having an important meeting with his World of Warcraft guild.

Sensitive Guys













This type of gentleman would most likely be found in which ever movie you would find most interesting. In fact, the only reason you found him was because you were following the path of rose pedals that he leaves as he walks. Once you arrive he will already have paid for you and have your favorite types of chocolate waiting for you.  The reason he doesn't have a shirt on is because you were feeling a bit cold and he gave it to you. He is currently trying to warm himself up on this rock instead of invading your privacy and asking you to cuddle.

  1. Thanks Shred! This all makes sense, my only problem is I have 0% confidence when it comes to guys being interested in me. This makes your advice difficult.

    1. My dear friend- I've found that in my life of many a dating adventure that the best way to do it is to find the guy interesting. Make him think you think he's da bomb, give him attention and 9 times out of 10 he'll do something about that attention you're giving him. It usually ends up in a positive light. You are seriously one of the most talented, smart, fun girls I know. Now you just gotta know that and have confidence that after you find him so interesting he'll find you interesting...because you are. You are also da bomb.
      PS: You should try to laugh at all of their jokes, or at least try to understand them all. Another thing I that I have found to be true is that a guy loves a girl who thinks they're funny. They say a joke, you cleverly laugh and touch his arm. Bam. Done. Now he should know he can ask you out.

    2. ↑ Yes. Also, be patient with us men. We're often not as quick on the uptake as we maybe should be.
