Good advice from QuickTidal there.

Something that may help in the future is that many women want to feel special. They want to know that you'll move heaven and earth to be there for them and that you're not out after their bodies alone. They want to be "Priority #1" in your life. It's kind of dumb and often unworkable, but they really like feeling that way every now and then. Many times they feel like they make you their number one priority and do a ton for you, even if you may not notice it all that much. That's why so many girls want surprises, compliments or flowers. Those are signs to them that you're thinking of them as a truly desired person in their life. That turns them on. Majorly.

I'm not saying get her a ton of gifts. I'm saying that do little things that show her you're thinking about her and want her to be happy with you. An "I just called to say I love you" moment is usually the right type of stuff. It helps if you actually mean them, but sometimes faking it is indistinguishable from the real thing and gets you laid more regularly in long term relationships.

Cynical, but it's true for a surprising number of women...

This is a message to certain websites.

If you are going to have a video as an ad on your site (like that El Shaddai xBox/PS3 video), don't have it fucking CONSTANTLY running on the side while I am trying to read something or god forbid watch something else...WITHOUT GIVING ME A WAY TO STOP IT! While we are at it, don't have ad videos that just autorun as I load up the site...this is going to make me want to NEVER COME to your site again.....fucking ever.

I came across THREE fucking websites today with this unstoppably moronic feature...and I want to punch something because of it.

I understand you want advertiser dollars, but if you keep pissing off your websurfers like that you won't have any left.

Fuck.

Another thing. Having a "sign in" process on a site to buy something that you plunk your email into and then a password (which you may or may not remember) only to reload the page when you eff up your password WITH THE SHIT YOU PUT IN ALREADY BLANK AGAIN...then there is a special place reserved for you in hell....it's NOT that fucking difficult to construct your "sign in" to REMEMBER the sign in name/email...if I have to keep typing out my email address until I remember my password I am going to...*&$&$&^@^#$^....or better yet, give me a checkout without signing in option...is that fucking hard?

Arg.

Lol! Don't worry about it AIJ, that's just the kind of thing that teenage girls come out with because they overthink the issue. She'll get passed it!

How do teenage girls get so weirded out by the human body and the wonderfulness of making lup-lup? I can understand overthinking things, but that usually leads to an uncomfortable freeze between "should I or shouldn't I?" rather than a distaste or expressed dislike of what you're debating on doing.

The beauty of overthinking is that you can never predict where it will take you ....apart from into mental torment of course!

The quick answer to this is "Gender Politics" The long answer to this would probably include things like past experience, self image, media imagery, peer pressure, family, religion and on and on and on and on... Let's just say that the world is a complicated place for teenage girls... and everyone else too...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Because women are unable to stop thinking about random shit all the time.

Also unspeakably bad hangover. Vomiting blood this morning and made a mess in the house (vomit etc) so my family are pleased with me.

Good night though.

Distorted self-image and fear of the unknown (she's probably only seen textbook depictions of male anatomy, unless she's more liberal than you've led us to believe). Also, baring everything is a scary thing when you've never done it before - you're vulnerable to all sorts of insecurities and self-doubt. "What if he doesn't like me? What if I'm a freak and don't even know it? What if I'm no good at it?" As has been said above, take it slow and make sure she knows you think she's beautiful. Look her in the eyes when you say it.

Lex sounds like a rather innocent, young little girl. All an act, could you tell?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
