Once I saw this line, I thought about soemthing.

I reliesed that I could have, actually, gone to see a porn movie with my gf, and neither of us would have really cared. And we'd probably make snide comments about various things all through it, too...

I'd give my own experiance as to my first date with my gf, but that was an... unusual... case. BAsically, we had known each other for about a year, when, being forced at teethpoint(sic), was forced into informing her that, yes, I did love her. This immediatley resutled in all of her friends constnatly asking us to actually not be complete and utter prudes (She's a prude that acts perverted, I'm jsut a complete perv) As a result, we never went on a date for... oh, I don't know, a year and a half? Where we saw a movie (ST: Nemisis, because she's a Trekkie) This has been our one, and only, date in the some total of our relationship of, approximately, two and three-quarters years, and it pisses off some of her friends (My friends just don't give a shit)

Mm.. only thing i have to add is.. if she plays games, for the love of god, do not lose on purpose, especially if you try to hide it and she finds out. NOT COOL.

But doing the victory dance after you win is a bit much.

In other words, don't stick your dick at her face expecting a blowjob until she sticks her bare tits in your face.

No. That only works in anime.
Completely incorrect, or at least partially. Nonetheless you can be both mysterious (read slightly insane) and cute at the same time. the key is understanding where a little bit of oddballness is both mysterious and funny at the same time. Those instances tend to be both 'cute" and "mysterious." I apparently have been able to pull this off recently as I am both an "interesting" 9read mysterious) person to my g/f but also inexplicably cute. Oh well.

I don't think its about behaviors straddling that thin line of being mysterious and funny as much as its about the girls attraction to the guy doing the behavior. When a girl is attracted to a guy, and cares for him, and all those fuzzy, luvvy-dovey things, she'll find his eccentricities, foibles, and quirks endearing, while on the the other hand, will find those eccentricities, foibles, and quirks annoying, disgusting and impossible to deal with if she doesn't feel hot in the ass for the guy.

A truism which sums up the answer to the question is: "If a girl really likes you, she'll let you piss in her sink. If she doesn't, you can treat her like the Virgin Mary and she won't give a shit."

After a very successful of flirting, i actually got her mobile number, i leanred the secret to flirting. The mistake i mad was to be too self obsessed and arrogant. Be cheeky but not rude, smile, and most importantly laugh. On top of everything have fun on your date, if it doesn't happen naturally or with a little prodding it's not gonna happen.

Well the Virgin Mary was knocked up so treating her like that is more likely to get you a paternity case and a petition for child support

. Anyway you are right that the eccentricites which straddle the line are just as cute/mysterious as the girl wants them to be. thus the real key here is show some of your eccentircities as it is usually the quickest test to whether a girl finds you interesting, if she puts up with them then you've got a really good chance. If she doesn't...well you've only done it once and can probably recover easily enough and try to win her over so that, in the future, the eccentricities will be acceptable.

I'd say it depends on the girl, most of the girls I know would probably think it is sweet or cute or something to let them win and appreciate the gesture. Always let the girl win the first game, then you can win maybe later. Besides how would she know?

Don't let them win, but don't pound their ass into the floor! You wont get a girlfriend by showing off your "3133t skillz" unless they're part of a certain minority: female gamer geeks!
