Don't ever get a girlfriend. If you want to mess around with girls, keep strictly casual and don't get attached. They will take advantage of you if you do.
i don't mind at all getting the experience of a heart-break, in fact i would want it, i would rather have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, want it as in would have no problem risking that

Some people say the opposite...

You sound a lot like me, man (based on some of the posts I've read....haven't read the whole thing though).

I'm 25, just getting out of a dysfunctional home life, and I get girls without really trying and with 0 confidence.

The only difference is that I'm actively seeking a relationship and getting destroyed. Well, I also did have one relationship that ended 5 years ago (and ended badly). Until very recently, I was running away from commitment, but, like I said, now I'm not and I'm getting my sh*t destroyed by girls.

Thus, I have no advice. Just letting you know that you have a brother in arms

Oh please, this is such a crock. This is a myth perpetuated by guys who think with their "johnson", and continually make bad choices when choosing women to date!

My best guess is have some small talk with her for about as much time as you'll have with her. Talk about different subjects. (You can talk about the weather, jobs, careers,) Try to ask about her more than you talk about yourself (I say this to myself actually. I live such an "interesting" life). Don't spend too much time with her. I'd say, under 20 minutes would be key. When you get ready to move on with your day. Let her know that you are interested and that you would like her phone number.

There are no guarantees. Learning to read body languages and vibes is very important in this regard.
Well, you sound very astute about how to approach a woman. The part I bolded is key. Soooo many men just drone on and on about themselves -- maybe it's out of nervousness, but it gets old. You don't want to sound like it's an interrogation, but ask questions about her and her life.

I'm WAYYYY older than you, but I can totally relate to your feelings. All I can say is, women LOVE confident men. Women love men who make them feel safe and who can make them laugh (you've got that one down!). If you exude confidence and don't act needy, women will flock to you. Try to "act as if"...and good luck!

I was almost "interrogated" by a woman last week, it was a little uncomfortable. LOL!!! But I think it is actually a good sign. I just better hurry up and take care of certain issues and see where this one goes. I am getting certain "signals." It could be nothing, but wouldn't for me hurt to try...

Unless I come on too strong and she gives me a swift one in that "area." AYE!!!

I will just take my time and not rush it. Get a better sense of if she's "right" for me.

Sounds like you have a good attitude man. You'll do just fine.

What am I, Yoda?

"but wouldn't for me hurt to try, hmmmmm?"

I guess I can bust out my Jedi Mind Tricks.

TJENKINS: (Waving Hand) You do want to be with me.

LADY: No $4!t! Why you gotta wave your hand for?!
...
LADY: (Waves hand) We will f*** tonight.
