I was the one who had to make the move on my husband. He was too shy to come and talk to me. Just think if I would have taken some of the advice on this board........I may still be single today.
Case by case of course. I am merely speaking from what I've seen, felt, heard, said, and concluded.

See, even Jays agrees.


Hey, with Sophialee, Sierra and Jays in agreement.......there is no further need for debate! Court adjourned!

Mango expressed he was always in workout mode and around his "boys" at the gym. Since that would not be a good time to strike up a conversation, slipping him her phone number would a) let him know she was interested b) she would find out if he liked her if he called c) if he didn't call then oh well...next.
You may get 99 guys to call you, but I'd be that 1 person that didn't. I don't buy beer based off of the pretty ads in the magazines I get. Why couldn't you have at least stopped and told me ONE thing about yourself? That is like inviting yourself over to MY house for dinner. To me, it's rude. Why can't I just start cold calling numbers for dates, if this is all I have to go off of?

He-he, you don't really agree with what I said. You just love me! I love you, too, though!

Women can do things that men cannot. Just the way it is.
I looked this word up, and don't know what it means. Is it code for chauninistic pig? I've said many times that I'm behind Women's Liberation movements.

However, I'm just speaking for me, personally. It's not subtle. There is a subtle way of doing things, and then letting me take over. That much is just instinct. I can't even consciously control that.

Plus, we are all over looking the fact that this guy is very aware of his surroundings, and for whatever reason could care less. I'd be he's married. I don't know many guys that take jewelry in with them to work out.

First of all, get off of your pedestal! Never once did I say she couldn't talk to him. She said he is always is workout mode around his guy friends. Well, you don't exactly pick that time to start up a conversation about yourself. If you simply give a number...and please, you don't have to take it so literal...I don't want your empty wallet any more than anyone else does. If he stops and talks......wonderful. If not, he has my number to call when it's convenient.

DAMN, I'm glad I've got a man!

No idea, here I thought I was making up a new word.

Play nice ladies and gentleman while I'm at the gym.



And I am 99.9% sure he's not gay. I've run into this problem before - hello hottie! Oh, you're gay. Nothing about this guy even hints that he may be into the boys. Of course, there is no guarantee, but I'm fairly positive he likes the girls.
