    The guys I know and am attracted to find "The Rules" laughable. More power to you if it works for you, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

    Make 2 cupcakes one for you and one for him and use the rest of the room in the box to stash some pretty red napkins ...

    I really like The Rules book. Other favorite books of mine are by Sherry Argov, and Greg Behrendt.
    All these were full of insights. I really liked them. :happy: :happy: :happy: :heart: :heart: It was really about self respect, and loving ourselve first. Very interesting. :heart: :happy:

    what if he's on a diet? :P

    OF course he'll like it- Be confident but not overwhelming! Guys in general like a girl who knows what she's after- but there is a fine line

    HAHA! Score!
    Obviously he likes you.
    I still think the cupcakes are cute and fun.

    Have fun!

    I've never had a boyfriend, so this is kinda exciting

    WAITTTTTTT! BEFORE YOU DO IT, PLEASE GET A GUY'S OPINION! Sometimes we women think things are "cute" when a guy may think its desperate. Because you are still weary about weather he likes you are not and because you are not really close like that yet, i suggest you do something more like invite him in on plans you already have or something....something that lets him know you like being around him w/out letting him think that you went out of your way JUST FOR HIM.

    Just a little pre-playa advice...take it or leave it.......:huh:

    Good point. He might not like that forwardness. Who REALLY knows the male species anyway?:huh:

    If he doesn't like forwardness,
    and you like being forward,
    not a good match anyhow, imo. :smile:

    I think it shows effort and thought.
    I like the idea of cupcakes. Simple. Sweet. Fun.

    (I am a VERY forward person, btw.)

    Or you could always give him this card instead.....

    LMAO. I am totally printing that and giving it to my husband on V-day just to be funny! That's awesome!

    take the chance men love food, no matter what.....if you weanna get neutral decorate them in his favorite teams colors. If you wanna be bold, decorate them with an invite on a date....

    I was just coming back to see what you'd decided to do about the cupcakes and I saw this.
    YAY!!! Dating is so exciting when it's young and fresh! (That made me sound old, haha.)
    I'll bet after he asked you out, you went home and did this:

    (I would have)

    So when are you going out???
    This Friday the 13th?????
    VALENTINES DAY?!?!?!?!?!

    cupcakes are a great idea - if they scared him away he wasn't really interested anyway. It's simple and it's food - men love food! (of course so do I or I wouldn't beon this site would i?!)

    My advice was going to be...forget reading books that tell you what to do..just be yourself. I think you can get some great insights from self help books, but just like with weight loss, what works for one does NOT work for all. Since he all ready asked you out, he obviously is into you for being you, not you b/c you followed some rules in a book. I hope you have a great date and I think giving him some cupcakes is a great idea! Good luck!

    you guys want info on the date?

    he asked me to a group date, a party. Some friends invited him and he didn't want to go alone... so he said are you free on thursday( the 12th). I truthfully said " I don't know because I don't have my shifts for next week at work yet"

    After class this morning he came by again and said " do you have your shifts?" I told him that I was free. I still don't have that much info about the party... I do have a cell phone number and email though:drinker:

    A guys point of view...... Sweets from a sweet are good period. But a lot of us aren't good at the figuring things out business with females. So do add a card. Not to soppy, maybe a nice fun one. Way to a mans heart is through his stomach, the way to his brain is much more difficult.

    :heart: HE LOVED THE CUPCAKES!!!!:heart:

    he said "It's soo sweet. I've never had a girl make me anything before" It was allso a kinda cute moment, us sitting on the bench eatting cupcakes together.:flowerforyou: talking about each other. He likes alot of the same stuff as me.

    I'll admit I don't know if anyone has asked a young guy yet, there's just too many posts, but my 18 year old son, said that cupcakes would be wicked, and if he was lucky enough to have a girl make em for him he would def invite her to share them with him as well...oh and he said 4 is by no means too many cupcakes lol

    OK I was seriously late with that post wasn't I?? lol

    Truth is if he is into you that will be a great idea. Most men aren't into cards and flowers but cupcakes I think would be nice. Not to much but enough to let him know you like him, and you never know he may bring you something also. Good luck hope everything goes great for you. By the way I know im late hope everything went great. Wow Im bad late didn't read last page im happy it went great for you.
