    Girls are ridiculous, but hilarious at the same time.

    Anyway, just found someone posted a topic in another forum:
    "I drove 45 *kitten* minutes to bring the lunch to a woman who I quite like, but as she was going to thank me, she only leaned forward in order to give me a hug... What do you guys think? Does she like me? I just gave her a hug in return, but I must say I was a bit disappointed at her mild reaction."

    Or in one sentence: I agree with Carl.

    PS: and men, just grope the women you like... If she likes you, she'll be OK with that anyway. Word.

    I know you're being facetious, Flam, but there is likely some grain of truth to your last statement... there is a fine line there, but truthfully, when I've been in to someone and they push the line, they're more likely to get a slight waiver as long as it's not TOO far across the line!

    I think we all just confuse each other. I read on here how many guys don't kiss on the first date then many women say if a guy doesn't, they assume the guy isn't in to them. We just need checklists, haha...

    I was only being facetious by exaggerating the truth... Yes, it's a fine line - and that's where men must be careful, but apart from that, I live by this principle (and it has not always been the case, I used to be too distant with girls!).
    I'd rather lose a girl because I'm rejected than because I'm too slow.

    And also, when a girl pushes you back if (as a man) you back off cleanly, simply, without a fuss as she asked you (and take no offence for it), and let the girls take things at her own pace, she might actually come back to you later and be the one to re-initiate.
    This, of course, works much better when you have several options (= meet enough girls during your nights out) since you don't see the girl as your only chance to be involved in a relationship, and you just leave her alone/ignore her in a "Hey! I'm cool with what happened! Don't worry." way, which somehow makes the girl think that maybe you're actually a decent man who respects her boundaries.

    The point is though he has done a lot (a 45 minute drive at 1 am to bring lunch) and yet because a hoped for or expected (without really knowing him that well) hug is suddenly the sign he has no interest?

    Come on ladies,why torture yourselves this way,it really is silly.

    In contrast...

    Opinions wanted...

    I have been talking/texting this guy a bit and we got together for dinner,it was great,
    Nice easy flow of conversation,laughs,everything seems good.
    Our second meeting was later when after discovering I had forgotten my leftovers he drove 44 minutes to bring them to me as I work night shift and it was 1:00 am.
    It was sweet and I was very appreciative so leaned in to give him a little hug.

    Instead of that he grabbed me and pulled me in close and also tried to kiss me.
    I was a bit shocked as we have only seen each other only a couple of times and just thought this was inappropriate and uncomfortable.

    Do you all agree or was his actions justified?

    Could easily have been the thread instead of what the OP posted and guessing the reactions from the ladies would have been a lot different with the change of context.

    This is the reality guys are expected to live in.

    Agreed. I also agree with Flam...I don't mind being groped a little if I like the guy. :love:
