Now I am confused about dating, any advice?

So...I just got canned for trying to take the ';more-than-just-a-friend'; route with this girl. She just wanted to be friends but I wanted to be something more. When she found out that I had feelings for her she delivered a punch to my gut (not literally)...but that's what it felt like. Anyways, am I supposed to take the friends route first or let her know my intentions first when I meet girls?Now I am confused about dating, any advice?
It completely depends on the girl.





I personally get very stressed if a guy I don't know asks me out. I feel like I'm under a lot of pressure to get the ';true me'; across, while learning everything about him, all in the space of a date or two. I'm not someone that will ever fall in love at first sight - I need to know what the guy thinks about God, politics, personal motivation, etc... and that's a lot to cover with someone you don't know at all. I would much prefer to go out with a guy friend that I've known for a while. I'm more comfortable getting to know someone if it's during orchestra practice or working together on homework. Then, if we've known each other for a while and he asks me out, I have a much better idea of whether or not I like him and if I think it would work out.





But like I said, it really depends on the person. Good luck!Now I am confused about dating, any advice?
girls love honesty. if you have intentions to be with the girl when you first meet them. tell them. but do it in a romantic way, they love that kind of stuff. the friend route isnt a bad way to go, just dont wait too long to tell her how you feel. if you do that, then she gets too involved in the friendship and doesnt want to chance it and mess that up.
Friends to a point. When you start getting too comfortable with each other, she'll start talking about the boys she's having relationships with, instead of actually getting into one with you.





Act friendly, but don't be a friend, be confident and surprise a girl. Do stupid things on dates, like opening the car door for them. Girls fall for that gentlemen crap. I know this, because I did. lol.
as soon as u r friends with her, flirt lightly and get heavier and heavier and heavier and be there for a shoulder to cry on. find out her favorite things and make sure that you do them with her and love and care for her. us girls love it!
Never try to be like a ';snake under grass'; always make known your intentions. some may just want friendship still just respect that, who knows they might come to like you more. The best relationships always starts at friendship.
