Have you ever "got" the girl/guy?

[Whateveralot]

I'm seeing her I was really looking up to her, thought she was out of my league. Then we started talking and we clicked like mad. We have way more in common than I thought we would. Now it's just a lot of fun exploring each other's personality. So far so good.

 

[Not George Carlin]

Working on it. She's becomes less approachable the more I talk to her, however. She's too comfortable with me. Talking to me about stuff I'd rather not talk about, like a certain infection she has. No! I can't help you with that! What do you mean it's bleeding? Oh dear god! Gah! That's horrible! Stop! Stop damn you! GAAAAH!

 

[Davey Woo]

The only girl I ever 'got' was way back when I was 12/13. I told her that I liked her, and then a week later she said that she also liked me. But other than that I'm pretty unsuccessful.

If by "work your arse off" you mean "act innocent yet seductive until said crush asks you out" then yes. Yes I have.

whats your secret?

I don't really know. I just do moderately erotic things while pretending I don't know I'm doing them, and it seems to work. At least, it did on my now-boyfriend.

Plus apparently the fact that I'm cute and adorable seems to help things along.

Erm honestly never had a Person of my "dreams" kinda thing.

Have however been that person... albeit the persons dreams where rather... sick and twisted the type where they wake up alone to discover that someone has forgotten their underwear and the front door is unlocked.

I don't really see a point in throwing time and resources at a singular "maybe, maybe not" opportunity in a world packed to the brim with options that are statistically guaranteed to have a shot of doing you one better.

So instead of eating, you'd rather starve to death since there's got to be better food out there?

Quite the contrary: if I show up at a restaurant and I'm told there will be an hour-long wait before I can be seated, I'll find someplace of comparable quality that isn't inundated with customers.

 

[Marcilla]

Never get the girl, always mess it up somehow or am to afraid to do anythign about it.
Then I end up either being a friend or never seeing them again.

 

[Sparrow]

Once. It did not end well.

 

[Sigma Van Lockheart]

Yea I got the girl. I met here in gmod only girl on the server which made mostly everyone want her because she was also very attractive so all she would her where things like "OMG YOUR VOICE IS SO SEXY" see I never done that because I saw no chance with getting with her she was American and I am English and seeing as I was the only person not annoying her with the same old comments she soon became my friend. That led to us becoming friends on face book and then Skype. She liked me and I liked her so we would spend most nights talking to each other this went on for about a month then all of a sudden my friend says to her that I loved her. This led to me confessing to her and then to my surprise she said "I love you too" back and in 2 days we will have been going out for 5 months. I'm very happy to have gotten the girl and I plan to move to America so I can live with her.

 

[The Hero Killer]

No, I fought for a girl for almost a year and got very close multiple times but just couldnt seal the deal.

 

[Leonartheinsane]

Also a protip: Many women just seem to swoon at the sound of a British accent. Not getting enough action? Practise yours now!

Doesn't work in England I can promise you!.... Anyway which our acccents are you talking about? The idea the a romantic Brummie accent makes me laugh!

 

[Smooth Operator]

Also a protip: Many women just seem to swoon at the sound of a British accent. Not getting enough action? Practise yours now!

I think the first pro tip to most guys who have problems with women is: Try talking to women.

 

[Omey]

No, I never got the girl.
Then again I never really worked hard for her. I gave up before I started.
I was too afraid, I wasn't good enough for her, there are much better guys out there for her.
She's in Harvard for goodness sakes and I'm currently un-employed and not in school.

Though I will say--for a brief couple of days I was her boyfriend. It was just a valentines day prank and to get some guy off of her back.

No worries though, I'm over it I decided to leave my past behind and try harder the next time I like someone.

Sailing in the same ship my friend

 

[Midnight Llamaman]

Actually, 'normal' is NOT being able to hook up with every person you've ever fancied.

Depends if you fancy them for who they are/know them quite well I think.

If you fancy someone for a completely superficial reason, rather than actually getting to know them and falling for/having a thing for them then, sure, you might strike out a bunch but if you are close to them already and like them there's a pretty good chance things'll be mutual.

At least from my experience.

 

[Seagoon]

I've always ended up with the object of my affections... that's generally how dating and relationships work. Isn't it? I'm confused.

with me?... not really..

 

[Caine Master]

No, she is one of my best friends and she's getting married. The big problem is that she has been the only person I have wanted to be with so I haven't tried to get with someone else.

 

[Flamezdudes]

I'm not sure what you mean by working my ass off but I liked a girl for a few months and had developed a liking of her. I was there to help her with anything and eventually, for the first time I confessed my feelings to her in person and it actually ended up with her not liking me. But then, it turned out that she realized she liked me and she then confessed her feelings for em and we started dating.

Then we were on and off each week for atleast three times with her having to come to terms with going into another relationship again after what happened with her last one. I assured her of my feelings and then we started dating properly and are still together for atleast two months now.

It was hard at times, especially during the on and off period.

 

[Xaio30]

Ah, the mother f*cking "Friend-Zone" they bring up as soon as a choice has to be made.
Look girls, we men have no middle ground if we have to retreat. Either we love you or we don't.
And if a guy ever tells you that he's fine with going back to being your "friend", then he will still look for opportunities to make you love him.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I've made two attempts at a relationship in my life, the first of which didn't work out. The girl in question didn't share my affection, but she was so petrified of hurting my feelings that she went out of her way to avoid me, which led to some rather ridiculous moments where she would abruptly excuse herself from conversations whenever I would show up.

The second attempt worked out much better, and is still going on. We share similar interests and enjoy the same type of humor. Our personalities just mesh, but not so much as to be boring. So, to return to the thread title, yes, I suppose I did get the girl.

 

[Kurokami]

Nope. Always end up as the friend. Even the friend they complain to about awful boyfriends. It hurts my very being.

The worst part is knowing how cliched it is for me.
