To be honest with you all, for me its getting over the fact that the quote "Being friends first is better," is really not true. Its not, I mean from what I understand is that when you are friends first, they probably will not go out with you because they see you as a good friend material, not boy friend material, though you know you could be better than any guy in that department.
Being yourself is a must...my ex gf wouldn't let me be that way...it seemed as though I always had to be romantic to please her. I can be a sweet guy to a point, but in a relationship I need to have some fun too...
Communication is key in a relationship. I am a quiet guy, so a lot of times I need the girl to talk. Thats why I always try for a talkative chick...and I also need to notice when they talk to other guys what is and what is not flirting...
I'm really expecting cubssuck1 to ask me about this post tomarrow...
Something like this
"eh, its the Meister...how do you feel about your post."
then he'll say a follow up question, just like a reporter does.
