There is no better way to keep a woman interested than being a jerk(it does not have to be all the time, though!)

If you want a woman to respect you, be a jerk and put her in her place everytime you catch her slipping , it will keep her interested.

but how exactly do you be a "jerk"?

If a woman starts with BS, I put her right in her place. Some nice guys are weak minded and they don't even know how to stand up for themselves. Also, if you catch a woman slipping, you need to be firm and be like "Listen up, *****" Dang, I sound like a pimp LOL . I know all the games women play and unfortunately, you need to always be ahead of their games, nice guys get stepped on if they don't know how to play the game.

I invited him out with some friends next week, because I'm hoping to get to know him better and see if there's any kind of connection. I'm usually not this forward, but he seems kind of shy and I know I may not see him again (do to work circumstances) so I figured, why not?

There are all these stories out there about women dating jerks. Does anyone have any good stories about nice, decent men?
I don't agree with the jerk/nice guy ideal. boring and exciting are relative terms.

I agree. Usually I date men who are artistic,intellectual, kind of edgy, but he's more down to earth and into sports. I have my doubts about whether there can be a connection since our personalities seem to be so different, but I figure its worth a try. Plus I think its kind of cute the way he seems kind of nervous around me.
Just pointing this out: he could be intellectual or artistic/creative, for all you know. I've been described as "intellectual" and I write for a living. I also like sports, I'm not really anyone's idea of "edgy," I'm reserved and sort of nervous around women, I hold doors open for people and I go visit my grandma most Sundays. Not all "intellectual" types are tortured souls with difficult personalities. And not all "nice" guys are bland, uninteresting and spineless.

Well, the reason I say he seems simple is because I asked him what he was into and he said he's only really into sports. I'm assuming if he was into art, or reading he would have said it. But either way, I want to get to know him. I'm pretty open right now. I want to meet someone that fits me as a partner and I know I won't find it unless I'm opening to dating different people.

We'll see what happens.

Makes sense. No reason not to give him a try.

Default Met a classic example of girl who date jerks but not sure what to do with a nice guy.

A few weeks ago a girl asked me out, she is a few years younger than I am but has a lot more relationship experience than I do. We hung out almost everyday from there on, but then she mentioned she just broke up with her boyfriend for the third time about a month before she met me. She is still hanging out with him and want to know if he wants to get back with her.

I asked her if she would get back with him if he ask, she said she doesn't know. Meanwhile, she complained about all the jerks and violent men she dated before, and how nice I am and stuff...

To be honest, when I first go out with her I didn't think I would like to start anything serious with her as, I hope I don't sound too arrogant, that she no where near my caliber. But as I spent more time with her I found myself being more attached to her, one reason being she really appreciate what I do for her! I have never been with a girl who appreciate and told me how nice I am to her, not as much as she does. The other girls before just pretty much took it for granted.

So what is my problem? Why do I get attached so easily? Why do I want to be with her even thou I know she isn't a match for me? And why doesn't she want to start anything serious with me even through she understood that none of her ex is even remotely as great of a person as I am?

Just do her, and don't call. She will be back to her ex soon, or another "jerk".

This sounds like me. If shes still interested in her jerk of an ex-boyfriend its obvious shes just interested in the drama, the games, and the chase. Sorry to say it but the nice guys get boring after a while (not for everyone obviously). But this girl isn't going to let some consistency come into her life out of fear of actually having to be in a serious, stable, relationship.

She'll only find ways to make your life a living hell merely for her own entertainment.
