Search Results: show how much i appreciate him

In my personal experience, I've been more successful when the girl has pursued me. Now, I've always asked the girl out in the end, but I give her time to show interest and basically give me the green light. When I don't care or give girls attention, they come to me.

I want to pursue women and others encourage me to, but I always fail. Waiting for the girl takes more time, sometimes a week and other times up to 2 months.

My friends often joke that girls don't know what they want, but when they do they're loyal and committed to making things work. I think that's true because my most recent girl did everything she could to get my attention. She chased me multiple times, was touchy very early, and would wave when I was far away. Yeah things ended because our careers were taking us different places, but it was a success because we spent quality time together. I don't even make it to the first date with girls I pursue. Well, I did one time, but that girl said I was husband material and not boyfriend material so she wanted someone else. Smh Her loss.

When pursuing women in person, 99.9% of the time they'd already know I liked them so they'd call me a "nice guy" and shoo me away. Online, usually via Tinder and Instagram DM, I used to say hey or what's up and wait for a response. That did nothing 50% of the time. Then I'd evolved say something witty like "I'm going to Whole Foods. Want anything?" or ask them something about their interests in profile or bio. These type of messages got replies about 75% of the time, but the conversations normally dry up within a month. I'm pretty much set on waiting on girls, but if you have any tips on how I could improve my chances when being the pursuer, I'd appreciate them.

The title says it all.

If I need to state the obvious, people don't HAVE to be the exact same age as the pictures I put in there. The difference doesn't have to be as drastic. For all I know, you could be 40 and once in a while hang out with 20 year olds, and other times hang out with 60 year olds, and you're still just as capable of judging on this topic. I just wanted to show a clear age difference between the three groups.

I assume most people here on G@G are around their late teenage or young adult years, so that's why I put a photo of a young man. But who says you can't be the same age as that old lady? Perhaps you're in your 80s, and people "older than you" are people in their 100s. You could also be the same age as the little girl... but I really don't think anyone that young should be on G@G, lol. At least 14 I could understand, but not an 8 year old girl.

Now for my personal opinion on this topic... you can stop reading here if it doesn't interest you. I'm 22 years old. My idea of people my age is people in their extreme late teens and people in their young adult years... let's say up to 28.

People younger than me could be children, or people in their earlier teen years, like 13 or 14.

People older than me could be anyone about 35 years old and above.

For children, they are cute and funny, but I can't really have a genuine relationship with anyone that much younger than me.

For young teens... I don't really like them, as they tend to be awkward perverts going through puberty.

For people around my age... I get along with them the most, really. They may have stupid trends every once in a while, but our beliefs are more aligned than any age group.

And for people older than me... I appreciate their wisdom, but they also tend to have old fashioned beliefs they're unwilling to change, or they think they're automatically smarter than me just because they're older. Hint hint, my parents, or any older relative in general, lol.
