Respect to the op for coming clean.

I'd try not to think about it too much, can **** your head up, or has done for me.

what's that movie where she's naked on that high swing..?
------------------------------------------------
Is that The Stud....(think that's the first thing I saw on video as a kid !)

The Big Lebowski.

Maud's Lebowski is naked on a swing flicking paint onto a canvas on the floor to create art. Nothing sexual in that scene, Julianne Moore tough mmmmmmmmm

Oh god, that b**dy "sweet" word was used. Soddin kiss of death that one when you hear it from a girl.

And of course in my, admittidly poor, experience, unlike in just about every rom-com you've ever seen, you only actually think of a witty, and oh-so-appopriate one line this-will-make-her-fall-head-over-hels-in-love-with-me thing to say, oh, about 15mins after you need to have said it to win the girl.......... 😉

I'm now 100% convinced this is a troll. wellwellwell aka Ian has only been posting on STW for a week or so and this was his first thread. His latest post:

Well it got off to a rocky start, we went to [u]Santa Maria for pizza[/u] where one of the first conversations was about how her and her friends were having a discussion if men and women can do things together and not be on a date.

Then went to the [u]red lion for dessert[/u] before going shopping for presents for my nice. Then we [u]shared a crepe[/u] before I dropped her home.

It's a well known fact that only gayers or trolls have 2 deserts and I'm not even sure what type of person moves from a pizzeria to a pub for their first desert. 😀

If you'll never be more than friends; ask her if she would let her "friend" see her tits. At least you'd have something for the bank ,

I had a good friend as you describe.
I approached and we gave it a go, and we are still married after 20 years now.
So give it a go!

Don't make work. From frozen it's straight into the woodchipper for a good mulch. (Take any paper from pockets first as this won't shred).

Brilliant, do this. It's a win win situation, you might plant the idea of nooky with yourself in her brain. Or you might get some petty revenge by letting her know she's a regular down at the Palming Bank of Loneliness, girls love knowing you do that over them. HONEST GUV.

In the meantime, you're a free man, roll the dice elsewhere and see what comes up.

Just not, you know, with her flatmate or best friend. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. Put it this way, if you want to make it far less complicated and ensure she never speaks to you again, it's certainly a winning tactic.

Houns has the correct answer.

If she has said no and you don't particularly want to spend the Christmas season painting your walls with a mix of semen and tears the only thing that will solve it is a nice, hot, frothy rohyppocino.

Or maybe, given the time of year, a rohypnog.

This isn't about getting inanimate objects, or jobs, cars, houses or even qualifications... they can always be gained through hard work and graft. A woman is (theoretically) an intelligent creature, with a mind, wants and wishes of her own. Sometimes you simply can't change their mind and it's not worth wasting the time and effort for something that's impossible to obtain. So you move on. This only becomes apparent after a number of relationships/women etc. I don't think the OP will be moving on soon, he's got lessons to learn in this 'relationship' yet.

Give up and move on? Have you never watched any chick flicks, it doesn’t work like that at all.

OK, so you’ve been knocked back. What will happen next is this girl will get married to some sleaze bag, who whilst seemingly charming and successful in public, knocks her about a bit and kicks her back doors in. You’ll lose touch and drift apart. You’ll start a new life as a perpetual bachelor; you’ll have lots of nice female friends to go to shows with and you’ll probably share a flat with a slightly odd guy with a provincial accent. You’ll open a craft shop of some type overlooking a café so that you can gaze wistfully through your foppish fringe at the lovers who had a big enough set to ask each other out in less than 20 years of knowing each other.

5 years later, just as you are reaching the point of no return, Pringle sweater draped over the shoulders, taking the dog for walks on Hampstead Heath (you won’t actually have a dog) you will be getting on the tube when you bump into a young lady and knock her books all over the platform. You will both bend down to pick up the books and clash heads, at that moment you realise it’s the girl. You’ll go for a coffee (maybe some crepe action if you’re still into that sort of thing) and she will realise that you are soul mates after all.

The only spanner in the works is her husband, who just happens to be competing in a world championship MMA tournament in a few weeks’ time. You’ll meet some old Japanese guy, do some odd jobs around his garden which turns out to be perfect training for the almost lost art of ‘badger style’ kung fu. You will enter the tournament, you’ll take a bit of a pasting early on but somehow reach the final beating the husband using your new ‘bombers’ technique and run off into the sunset with the girl.

Bookmark this thread and come back in 6 years (7 tops) and say it isn’t so.

a few months later she'll be diagnosed with something nasty, incurable and terminal. She'll pop off a few days before Xmas so you'll eternally have mixed feelings about this 'special' time of year.

On her deathbed she'll tell you you're free and her greatest wish is you will find such love again.

You won't.

Oh come on, I was trying to give the lad at least something to wish for, a chink of light in the dark, cold and lonely years to come. A hope and purpose for his forthcoming dismal existence and you go and give her bad aids.

On your head be it when he jumps of that railway bridge.

@OP - well at least you tried - she said no, you need to move on. I believe the term you straights use is "railing ruts and nailing sluts".

Alternatively, why not try the brown side? It's as easy as "Alright mate fancy a bang? Tidy" 🙂

*Grunt* Want female! Where female?

OP,

Don't worry about it. You may still like her and all that, but there are a lot of other women out there that may well be better*. On Friday, sit yourself down with a bottle of something that will kill at least 5000 brain cells (I find own label Tequila does the job) and get hammered. When your hangover clears, you should associate her with the pain of recovering from a lot of cheap alcohol and realise you can do without her.

Seriously, we've all been there.

* better meaning nicer, prettier, funnier or just more available.

[b]wellwellwell[/b] - Member
So I casually asked her if she thought that we could ever be more then friends. And she said no, and then she asked if I thought that and I said yes..... To which she replied that's really sweet.

[snip]

It felt almost the closet we have been even though she said no....

You didn't actually tell her how you felt. What you did was ask her first, ie "cold". What was she ever going to say, except "no" in that scenario.

Obviously none of us get to write a script like in the movies where every line is perfect but you needed to lead with something like, "I think we could be more than friends, I have a special feeling for you and I'd very much like us to be more than friends"

"Sweet" !! That **** word.
Every time a woman has used it to me, it meant "No, I like you but my knickers are staying firmly in place."

Fair point! If she uses the word 'sweet' is one of the potential H bombs in a woman's vocabulary. The damage is potentially limitless.

'Ahhhhhhhh I think you're really sweet' actually translates as 'you see that table over there? That's about as sexually alluring as you. Possibly more so. Actually... its probably got a better chance of waking up with me tomorrow morning, than you. You're a nice guy, I suppose. In a 'my mum likes you' type of way, but its never going to happen"

The only word/phrase in the female vocab that contains an even more destructive back story is one I'm sure strikes fear into all our very mortal souls. For when you hear it, you just [i]know [/i] the potential implications are truly devastating. The carnage that stems from its mere utterance will echo down the days and weeks in front of you .....

No. I'm/it's [b]fine![/b]

Genuine good luck. I lusted after a pal at Uni for a year before we got together, and had a good year together before drifting apart and staying amicable.

I lusted after a girl when I was at college. She was beautiful and we got on famously but she didnt think of me as anything other than a friend. We stayed in touch for a long time. 15yrs or so. We met up again by chance at the end if 2007. We got married in 2008. Toppers jnr mkII arrives in march.

Just read on page 11 about OP's knock back and I'm gutted I was really hoping for a happy ending 😥 it just ain't Hollywood. Saying that OP could of put some romance into it and started wooing her slowly so she would of started to think differently about him. How's he going to cope when she tells him of a new bloke and how wonderful the sex is, he should get some therapy ASAP IMO.
