That’s right, ladies. For a short time only you can ask the man himself how to land that guy at work who ignores you and flirts with all your friends, or that neighbor who gas lights you and asks for pics of your mom. Time is wastin!

    plausible deniability. esp if you'd just sent him pics of like being out for a coffee somewhere. like you actually need to be out with friends for it to work.

    dear @iMago

    the end of times is coming and i need to shore up my defenses. how to best pick a partner for the apocalypse? or is it better to trust no one bc the dissemination of anti-thought has already started so most are tainted anyways?

    thats exactly why it works. you send the innocent "hey look im out with my friends" pics first, give it a few minutes of normal convo, then BOOM you hit em with the killshot text out of nowhere, and IMMEDIATELY deny it was you who sent it like "omg i can't believe my friend just did that"

    if you're shameless do the same thing, but while you're just sitting at home alone. he will laugh and actually kinda fall for you maybe

    Have had maximum success with this. True story.

    Might have to try this since it doesnt require the actual having of friends

    I'm in the process of scheduling a kayaking date with a guy I've been out with a few times. He said he may have to return the 2nd kayak he has to its owners before we get together. I suggested we sit laps and the response was something along the lines of "It would be tight, but I'm not opposed to it." NOT OPPOSED instead of CLIMB ON?!

    Is this guy bad at flirting or has any interest he had disappeared? Should I wait until he gets settled in and head at him like that hippo vid that was shot with the iPhone?

    i'd say he did everything right if you're still confused as to what he wants exactly.

    so i'd say nothing. just wait until the day of and wear some kind of skimpy bottoms and ask him to help you into the kayak and see who breaks first.

    I can’t recall if I’ve ever spoken to you before iMago, but since you are obviously the relationship guru here on MFP...

    Are ultimatums wise? Should I propose them to get what I want? Is this a reasonable strategy?

    they're okay as long as you're 100% prepared to NOT get the response you want.

    like lets say you're demanding he do something you want or "else", you best be prepared for the "else" to happen before you make the ultimatum. if you're not ready for that then don't do it.

    This sounds very reasonable. I was hoping it would be less reasonable.

    if the day comes and you can't decide on what type of outfit/bikini to wear to impress him, then just basically take whatever the skimpiest one you have and then find something smaller and hopefully that'll make him putty in your hands even if he's stoically trying to resist still.
