Well, thanks for the all the advice, guys. I gave him space and he is once again stalking me online and we had a great judo class together, he was laughing at all my stupid jokes and staring into my eyes...so I think he was just going through something. BTW, although he didn't make any 'conventional' first moves, by society's standards, he made ALL the moves in terms of 'first contact' (haha), showing off, staring, flirting, etc. I ignored him for MONTHS and still he continued. So I took the initiative. But here's the thing - I think this is true for both men and women - if we're just too darned available, there's no challenge. There's no need to play games - just don't make that person the centre of your life, have an interesting life and they'll gravitate towards you.

hate being the odd-man out, knowing that I can't start dating in my late teens and early 20's like most people do, I remember it made me boiling, enraging mad when this one woman said this regarding it being never too late:

 

Your reaction to a very harmless comment is completely out of proportion. If you are not already, I really suggest you seek help for your anger issues.

While anger in some situations can be appropriate and healthy, this is not one of those.

Because he has to work a little bit for the reward :D it seems to me that nowadays some men have forgotten how to behave like men.

 

And are women forgetting how to behave like women? Or maybe they never actually had to behave like anything in the first place?

 

Hey OP, man up!! Oh, wait a second :o

You think you have had it bad, do you?

Did you grow up in a war zone where there wasn't enough to eat and you had to beg and steal to survive.

Because I have friends who did, and i dont hear them complaining about missing out on stuff and being envious. They're happy to now have a chance at a proper life.

Stop moaning about the past and start living.

 

I hope I'll see you post this exact same thing in response to a woman on here struggling. Seems these nasty and cheap shots are only reserved for struggling guys and it's pretty low to be honest.

 

Next time I see a 'Did I sleep with him too soon? He won't call anymore..' topic, I hope to see your 'My friends grew up in warzones, shut up with your measly problems' comment there as well ;)

Just be a woman and be passive, do nothing about it, after all, that's what you do best, lol!

What exactly did he do ? Sometimes a shy person needs a bit of a push ! The best thing I adore about shy is they will keep your secrets,not air them and have partner as their confidant.

 

I have a shy female friend and her boyfriend is extrovert. It took them( her basically ) a long time to come together but now he is her closest.He didnt budge ! He loved the fact that she went in her shell and he teased her out over and over again. Its tiring.To this day I dont get it. But they clicked and it worked.

Yup I'm glad even the Dating Coach Tripp Advice labeled it a burden
