This has happened to me a while back.

She pursued me for none of the reasons listed. We started as friends and I actually preferred being friends and having it stay that way. She wanted it to be more and I tried to remind her about our friendship agreement and act not interested or enthused about moving further along. She couldn’t drop back to being just friends like we used to be and we stopped seeing each other entirely.

Looking back it really worked out for the best at that time. Things are different now and maybe things would turn out differently.

It seems like her logic is:

"I did these 7 things and I got my dream guy. Therefore, each of these 7 things contributed positively to me getting my dream guy."

Which is faulty logic.

Walk his dog, and pick-up food and beer on the trip?

Take him on date to the nearest TV and video game?

Silence?

Ask him to make and mess and not clean it up?

Buy him power tools?

Beer, nudity and food...I'm picturing a nice flash of boobs, with a beer nestled into the cleavage holding a loaded coney dog. You don't think that's overly suggestive?

You take a guy out with a headshot on a first person shooter and they whine...kills the romance.

Love the power tool idea! =c)

Um that crap might've worked in the 50s but it's a recipe for disaster in post-millennium society.

I don't know, cleavage and food still seem to work pretty well on my husband.
