I was at the bar last night with my friends hangin out nad playing pool. My friend Josh (natural dj) and his girlfriend Danielle here also. Now Danielle left her camera at home and was trying to convince josh to go home and get it for her. He refused, and then she tried using this ridiculous baby face and he still refused (my opinion of him raised) and she wouldnt get it herself. So then she goes to big dave. Hes a little large, hence his nickname and also a total afc. She then uses her 'female charm' to get him to go leave the bar and go to her house and pick up her camera for her. He comes back and she's all like oooooh thankyou dave your such a sweethear ::hug and kiss on cheek:: That guy is so desperate and wont stand up for himself. The way she plays him despite the fact that she has a boyfriend just makes me want to puke. Even in my afc days I never would have stooped so low as to be an errand runner for some lazy chic. What did he get out of it? A hug, oh wow he must be feeling special now. Then she ignores him for the rest of the night. Excuse me while I puke again. Ok i'm good now that I got that out of my system.
"Blank Mind on Dates? She's Dropping Hints You Keep Missing"
The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.
Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.
Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.
Some afcs make me want to puke

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yeah, I regret reading that, it makes me want to puke so bad.
The only good thing out of that is that hopefully the AFCs in this forum can read this and 1) learn what NOT to do and 2) feel better about themselves if they aren't that bad.
Though if 'big Dave' is very much like you...*sigh*

Sad thing is, to Dave, this hug and kiss on the cheek were worth the whole trip.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

The sadder part is, this is probably the most emotional satisfaction he's received from any woman in the last year.

Big dave is only doing the logical thing to get in her favour
But when it comes to women logic goes out of the window

It's always sickening when you see someone else doing it and it's blatantly obvious how sad it is, but I was just like Big Dave for years and I didn't even know it.

The funny thing is, we ALL could have been Big Dave in the past. Common fellas, how many times in the past did we supplicate ourselves to a woman hoping we would "score enough points" to get her to start thinking of us in a different light.
DJB to the rescue.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
If I read this thread a year ago, I would have said it was a great thing to do - Wow he got a hug and a kiss? - She must have the hots for him!
Josh, Watch out!
Poor old NoBull... lol
Kourt, did you try advising him? warning him? giving him tips? etc?

nah, hes older than me and we aren't exactly buddy buddy, that and I dont think trying to get him into the dj way in the middle of the bar with all my friends around would be exactly a good idea
If he wanted help, I'd help him, but I guess hes satisfied with his supplication
Granted we all could have done this in the past, but I never was errand runner for chics whew
