I've noticed the increase in threads being made about problems with relationships and dating. Now, I have no problem with the subject matter. No, my problem is with the amount of threads people are creating about it.

Judging by all these threads being made about the same thing, it's safe to say it's inevitable for these questions to be asked; and since the answers to these relationship/dating questions are generally very similar, putting all the questions in one thread saves time and posting.

No, this is not a thread where you specifically ask me for advice; I don't know very much about this subject. I'm simply the guy who has created the thread so you can post your questions for anybody to answer.

So if you have a question about dating or relationships, or anything along those lines, ask it here, wait for someone to reply here, and don't make a new thread about it!

Don't aim to find out her age and last name. Why would you require that?


Well I guess I don't need her age. But it'd be nice to have her last name so we could be facebook friends! XD

Just jump into the conversation!


Okie dokie. So I suppose I'll just give that a shot instead and see how it goes. But it's annoying how I only get to see her every other tuesday so I have to wait two weeks. So when I see her it's usually do or die time. but I usually die. XD

You could, after talking to her for a bit, just ask her if she'd mind becoming friends on FaceBook.


I suppose that seems subtle enough.

But isn't there a place besides church where you can see/meet her. I suppose the church is in the town you live in, and I can guess she lives there to. There has to be a place where she goes in her free time. Maybe a bar, disco, school, sport location (soccer field, baseball you get the point).

If she sees you there you have something to talk about next time in church.

Well that's the problem, I don't know her well enough to know where she goes. So my main question was for good ways to start conversations without making a fool out of myself. So once I get to know her better, then I can know where she goes and maybe even invite her to my house an' stuff.

And it's not actually "church" church. It is a building where a church meets on sundays. But I only work there with kids on every other tuesday while parents have a meeting.

Well, you can't just wait untill she will talk to you because that moment may never come, just say something like "Hi" and see where it goes. It workes for me.

just a simple, "hey how ya doin" should probably start a conversation. if you start getting nervous or anything just ask simple questions and listen. most girls like it when guys will let them talk about themselves and they just listen. ask her if she plays any sports, does any extra-curricular activities, if she has any siblings or any pets. simple is best. then you can become more complex as you get to know her better

Sorry I need to clear the ambiguity. Let the girls or guys talk? O.o I would think that it ultimately just depends, and is up to one's intuition.

You can never go wrong with simple flowers and/or chocolate. Unless she is alergic to either, but I'm sure she would appreciate the gift.

It also depends on if you are dating her, and if so, how long. If you have been dating for a really long time, then you should do something special. If this is your first date, then just simply flowers or nothing at all is in order.

As much as some girls want guys to be extavagent from the first date, you have to think of yourself too. Just find the balance.

I hate to run off on a tangent but since no one's posted in a couple of days I'll try to pick things back up.

What do you guys and gals think are the best Valentine's Day gifts for your significant others?

Unless you can drive, then no. Do not get flowers. Because chances are, she'll guess your mom got them.
