Re: Advice on winning hearts
man, you guys are cool. I'm not sure what I would do without yall. The Long Distance thing will be over soon and I will be stationed near where she lives in California for a little while (I found out by begging). I will stay in touch.

Re: Advice on winning hearts
Two of my best sources of advice: Country music and dating simms.
Seriously, Enigma, this is THE BEST! Most people asking that question have 'just met' whoever they think is 'the one', and are trying to compress months worth of time into two days, just like in the movies. Taking it to the next step should be comfortable and natural, and that's the best place to be! LegionPaulL, you need to work from where you are now to where Enigma is.

I've stayed in place looking for that ten thousand percent return, and am still trying to unlearn that.

Re: Advice on winning hearts
The thing is with friends, you're in a comfort zone. If she just wants to be friends, it's because you aren't the package she's looking for. This is eprfectly OK, and you shouldnt feel lowly/unworthy/depressed, because different personalities sometimes dont click. It's a fact of life, accept it and move on.

Don't be affraid to move on if things don't seem to progress, because girls will do a lot of sh*t testing to see how ballsy/manly/fun a guy is. Often a girl that didn't appear interested before, will make an effort to make her interest known if she sees your attention going elsewhere (in other words, use jealousy as a tool). If she's dismissive either way, well at least you know for sure and you can find someone a bit more compatible.
Usually, once you're in the friends zone, it's very difficult to get anywhere else, unless there was something there to begin with but circumstance prevented something from happening (old boyfriend, etc...).
In short: You need to get out with other girls and enjoy yourself. If this friend of yours is interested, you'll pick up on the signals pretty quickly.|TG|Syn - [defense] :row__572:

Re: Advice on winning hearts
I don't agree with this. I don't think that you're more likely to find "the one" by becoming romantically involved with acquaintances than you are if you were to become good friends before letting the relationship take a less platonic turn...
