Teenage Thinking

[Dynamism]

Is it just me or do a lot other teenagers consider "dating" being "in a relationship"? And if it's the truth, why so?

Is there anything wrong, for example, if I tell a girl that we're going on a date and to also share with her my policy that I may be dating other girls as well? And that a relationship does not form until a certain amount of dates?

yes, they do do that. just an auto-pilot assumption of how the whole man-woman thing works... they'll get over it.

by all means, tell them how you stand on these matters. you'll probably freak out a few before you get it just right... unless your coming from a place of confidence in your way of thinking to the degree that their way of thinking simply doesn't compute, your delivery will lack punch. And that kind of belief in your own views comes through experience in actually living that belief - for whatever reason, these things are next to impossible to fake with any degree of consistency.
and follow the usual rules - don't see them too often, don't call too often, don't be too "relationshippy".

your in for some fun times! enjoy it, bro.

happy hunting,

I've had great success with my reputation, but I still need to start the snowball affect of dating. In fact, I've got one for Sunday. Whatever happens, I'm ready for it. Even if she doesn't show up.

People just gotta give themselves permission to do what suits them.
Yesterday I was talking to a girl who had very low energy. I tried getting her out of it and then I just said to myself "screw it" and left. A few minutes later I contacted a girl I knew and said "We're going on a date this weekend." I was just pissed at the previous boring girl so I had to take it out to fit me somehow.

She said ok and even offered a day before I mentioned anything else. And she made other suggestions.

I told her my views on dating and she seemed fine with it...
We'll see what happens.


Anger IS a good motivator.

Anger IS a good motivator.

It certainly is, as long as it isn't your only motivator.

Although from the sounds of it, that's not a issue in your case. :)

One of the very first mindsets I've adopted when I got into this knowledge-base is to never be affected/brought down by women... later on that evolved to not being affected by other negativities.

I’ve even managed to piss off some girls that tried to manipulate me with their behavior, thinking I’d be affected. Haha… You can just feel the vibe that they don't understand which buttons to push. And that's frustrating for them.

Even though it’s mostly a care-free attitude I have, make no mistake, it only means that I’m an optimist when it comes to the good and the bad. It doesn’t mean that I don’t take responsibility for my actions. I still do stupid shit. There's plenty to be learned though. And plenty to be experienced. :)

lmao yes they do do that. and the stupidest of stupid is that "Did you ask her out?" equals "Did you ask her to go steady with you". Oh us teenagers:rolleyes:

But I have the mindset of dating different girls, and until they ask otherwise, I'll just have some fun.

[Shreddd]

As long as you sead your view on relationships early on, girls will understand where her little adventure with you can go. That's what I do anyway..."I'm not really into steady relationships - if they happen, they happen. Dating is a screening process, right? ... So I'd rather not get knee deep into a relationship and realize 'oh no, I messed up.' I'm also a badass, if you didn't notice that."

If she assumes that the adventure will settle down into a steady, then you probably gave off a lover vibe instead of an alpha vibe. If you showed any type of "I want you because I love you." type of attitude, then girls assume you have one-itis. If you gave off the "I'm bad, and I want you...maybe..." type vibe, then girls assume you are a hunk. Hunks get away with a lot more...lol. The PUA is the exception to the rules.

[relics]

I liked the policy of Don't Ask, Don't tell. I don't know who said this, but it's true, and it's that girls don't really care what you do when they're not around
Don't go "Hey I'm seeing other women and I'm not ready for a relationship" if SHE DOESN'T ASK!!! Who cares?? She certainly doesn't. Don't feel the urge to put all your cards on the table. Emotionally, they don't give a fuck what you do or what yuo don't do when they're not around, just as long as you're good to her when you two are together.

My point is, don't tell her unless she asks.

[Thor]

Ive heard that somewhere as well. Perhaps mASF or the old MM. Nonetheless I think there is some truth to it.

[Dynamism]

I just realized that my date was 21 years old, I'm 18.

WTF... lmao I thought she was 16. Oh well... sweet I guess.

[Dynamism]

LMAO - does anyone see the humor in this?

She didn't have a problem with dating others cuz she's not a teen. I started this thread because I thought she was... wow.

(OK grave generalization BS but it's funny)
