[Closed] Damn, 'she' just wants to 'be friends' I need cheering up!

M

Or, if you enjoy spending time with her, spend more. She'll either come round to your way of thinking, tell her hot friend that you're the greatest guy in the world, or worse case scenario you get to hve some good times with someone you like.

Face it, you're a loser.

You should have got in first with that, then she would have chased you.

Everyone hankers after the unattainable... 🙂

she means you're nice but fugly 🙁

So let me get this straight, If the opposite sex don't want to sleep with you they should have nothing to do with you? Sounds like you have a new riding buddy who probably has a nicer arse to look at when following than your other riding buddies, and might be able to help tempt any new prospects out for a ride (bike! 🙂 ) as well.
Could be much worse...

There are plenty more [s]backdoors[/s] er, [b]fish[/b] in the sea.

I reckon fanciable female riding company is a good long-term investment.

Just tell her to let you know when she fancies going out again, let her do any chasing
When she does come back to you, tell her you can't make it as you have a date & suggest another time

Show her a knife and tell her you're willing to do time.

Cynical - a gentleman would use a rag soaked in chloroform.

Tell her all about the other date and watch her face, that'll be the giveaway if you've got any hope.

On the plus side I've been mates with loads of hot women and they all have hot friends that they introduce you to and you've already got your foot in the door as it were with these hot friends-of friends as you're friends with their mate.

😆 that's better, making me chuckle already ... she does want to do some more rides but I said 'mmmm, I'll think about that' and she's quite happy to do something else together too but to be honest I can't be @rsed now, I'm convinced it going to waste my time and energy!

Show her a knife and tell her you're willing to do time.

Who ever said Romance is dead? Classy.

Cynical - a gentleman would use a rag soaked in chloroform.

Yes, some men just don't know how to treat a Lady.

go gay.

agree to go out for another "ride" then offer to "fettle" with her bike (losen the QR levers, oil the brake pads etc etc)

then when she has the resulting crash you can dash to her assistance and be a knight in shining armour

Invite her round to yours to talk things over.

Accidentally let her see the shrine you've built to her.

Then show her a knife and...

tell her you're into Eastenders and would like to lock her in your cellar whilst preaching the bible.

Forget her. Stay in. Stop going on dates. Save all the money you'd spend on drinks, meals out etc in a jar until you've got [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/peter-crouch-wtf ]£800[/url]

there is absolutely no point pursuing this unless your happy to be just her friend. otherwise move on.

ask her if she'd like some flowers. When she says yes, get them and stamp on them in front of her screaming "that's what you did to my heart you psychopath!"

And then crawl to the corner of the office, hide behind a chair and weep.

you can sleep with "just" friends though, ask her

graft a dead sealion onto her

This is an almost unbelievably horrendous and hilarious idea. 😀 😯

Move on, she'll be back.

Current Mrs J was the same - just friends, until I started seeing someone else.

+1 on the fit riding buddy thing!

Remain friends and keep on taking her out for rides, at the very least you've got a nice arse to look at (assuming it's a nice arse!). Meantime date other women and ask her advice on them. If she thinks you've lost interest already she might take exception and decide you're the man for her!

You can't beat a bit of reverse psychology IMO, but then again I was always crap at this kind of thing so maybe you shouldn't listen to me 🙂

I suppose "f*ck buddy" is out of the question?

This is an almost unbelievably horrendous and hilarious idea.

It would be great for flotation at the swimming pool. I would imagine it may start to smell after a while though, unless of course all major organs were joined and they were able to co-exist.

Hang on in there with the friends thing, maybe she this is some sort of test? Women do things like that, they are mental.

Keep cracking on to other women, don't put this one on a pedestal and let her interfere with your other efforts.

Then slowly chip away at her self esteem until see is felling rubbish enough to sleep with you. 😉

😆 some fantastic advice coming here, thanks guys ... I've cheered up a bit and I think a nice wooded singletrack ride later with Rage Against The Machine on my player will sort me out

just enjoy spending time with her.she might actualy fancy the pants of you but something may be holding her back. either talk to her slowly and without any pressure about why she feels the way she does, or just be mates and she may well change her mind in the future. dont chase her too much tho.if you seem desperate youll look like a right dick and she will deff loose interest.
at the end of the day youve got another posabilty on the cards so chill out!

+1 - Drop a few hints about maybe replacing those lycra cycling shorts with some baggies, or perhaps the odd critique on her riding style, and she'll soon be desperate to jump your bones. Or she'll shag your best mate.

stay friends at a distance, after a few weeks hint that you're going on a second date with someone, and robert is your mothers brother - unless you're actually fugly

So there's this woman at work I really liked, asked her out and things

, she just wants to be friends

Maybe it is becuase you work together she is not sure?
Having seen other posts on here re dating workmates it can all go badly wrong.
Having also witnessed the fallings out of people who have done this it creates a really bad atmosphere in the workplace.

The staying friends, keep on riding doing other stuff sounds good to me. Maybe start including others in your rides, activities so that you do not appear to be coming on to her so strongly? Just bide your time, maybe she has "other stuff" going on atm.

just keep doing what you've been doing. Been with my wife 7.5 years (married 5 years last friday) She was the same, even asked me what my intentions were, knew that 'I just want to be friends' was coming, so told her I just liked hanging out etc. Couple of months down the line I went to OZ for 6 weeks. She missed me so much she realised she wanted to be with me. Never looked back. If you really like her, then just hang out, as soon as one of her friends starts asking about you, she'll either put in a good word for you, or she'll make a move.

He isn't 'getting it' which would appear to be the root of the problem. 😀

Guys, you just don't get it, do you?

I totally get it. My female acquaintance consists almost entirely of a series of assymetrical sexual attractions, or the historic remnants of the same. 🙂

Kojaklollipop you really shouldnt have had that trail poo infront of her.

FWIW I wouldn't dare utter any of this in front of my missus as life wouldn't be worth living, but I'd never admit it. Oops.

You mean you wouldn't [i]actually[/i] forcibly graft a sealion onto someone who didn't want to sleep with you in a bizarre revenge-attack tony?

Very funny - bless ;-D

What do you suggest then?

Fake your own death, then you'll see how she really feels, if she cries come back as your own twin, if she doesn't seem to care then hide in a cupboard and jump out as she passes.
Always works.

See what I mean?

Try 'Sex Panther'?

to be honest, if you're not involving her in vivisection with a large sea mammal, frankly, you're not even on her radar.

What about a manatee? You could regale both her and the manatee with tales of heroism about how you once singlehandedly foiled a shoplifter in HMV using a trick that Gary Busey did and you learnt from repeatedly watching Point Break and practising the move in your pants in front of the mirror.

If she's not impressed, the manatee will be, in which case you can tell her to look away while you hump that?

What do you suggest then?

bear in mind [b]c-g[/b] doesn't ever get it either 🙁

Kojaklollipop she obviously knows what you are after............and is not going to put out until you put some DECENT effort in (if at all). I mean riding bikes is great but you would do that with or without her!! Use some imagination 😀

Hair cut, new clothes etc and don't try too hard. Just a nice hello and a smile. Finish work early and tell the office gossip that you have a red-hot date with a Swedish au pair whose bosoms enter a room a full minute before she does. If that doesn't work she obviously thinks you're dull, fugly and hung like a chipmonk.

Yeah, MTFU and do the trails with her on a unicycle, blindfolded, using your hands instead of feet, backwards, whilst playing a cazoo. If that doesn't work then she aint worth bothering with, or go down the chloroform/sealion, knife, route.

there is nothing wrong with just being friends with women( [s]hard[/s] difficult as it might be)

Imagination, imagination....

What about a tandem? You might need a trailer for the sealion/manatee though. Perhaps see the thread on child/baby carriers for advice on trailers.

This is all great stuff, and obviously a bit tongue in cheek ... so yeah, c-g what don't we get, I'm intrigued, or are you not going to let us 'get' what 'we just don't get' ? 😉

Have you considered that she may be a lesbian?

Maybe she's a nymphomaniac trying to get over her addiction to giving BJs? Has she got big lips?

How big are her hands? Never trust a woman with big hands, very intimidating.

CG is a lesbian 😯

Have you considered that she may be a lesbian?

Could be. A lot of the women I try chatting up tell me they're lesbians. Or is that just a cunning excuse?

They may be playing hard to get Big Dave, and if that's your real name I'm not surprised.

I had a mate who told women he was gay - figured they'd see it as a challenge.

How would a seal graft work? Could human organs work a seal if it was a Symbiotic relationship?

You could try one of those!

Perhaps she's getting over the affair she had with the MD? 😯

A seal would be far more manageable than a sealion

They may be playing hard to get Big Dave, and if that's your real name I'm not surprised

The size can be a bit scary for some women to deal with...they may not have seen a stomach so large before 🙂

Hang on chaps - seals, sealions, manatees - one must be better than the others. Time for a "What pinniped for..." thread!

[EDIT]
Whoa! Choose carefully - just found this on Wikipedia..

Sexual coercion

Sexual coercion is extremely common among pinnipeds, even on other species. In one incident that was caught on videotape, a 100 kg Antarctic fur seal pinned down a 15 kg king penguin and thrusted its pelvis, trying to insert its penis into the penguin for about 45 minutes.[1]

I think BigDummy has provided the most beautiful contribution to this thread so far.

Sexual coercion

Take note.

It's not really rape if there isn't a massive weight differential and a species barrier.

Chocolate Jesus... 😯

"My female acquaintance consists almost entirely of a series of assymetrical sexual attractions, or the historic remnants of the same."

Despite a pretty good grasp of English I don't actually know what this means!? Can anyone translate?

I don't suppose the beaver counts as a pinniped?

Edit to add: Is this you Big Dave?

2nd edit: Link to image doesn't seem to work, I guess the moment has passed

When I was still reeling from a bad breakup I told Molgrips I only wanted to be friends. Figured it was just a fling with him anyhow...he stuck around and assured me and then before I knew it we were married. Now granted we were made for each other (read that as we're the only 2 people who could possibly put up with the other for any length of time).
Do you have other things is common with her besides biking? Did she bike before you, or has she only picked it up because of you? The later would be a big hint that she's thinking abt you as a possible relationship, but doesn't want to 'go there' yet.

As for the creature grafting, you guys aren't romantic enough...need more mermaidy imagery...perhaps that's the thing you're all not getting 😉

@Minty,
He means that all his friendships with ladies have come out of the fact he fancied them, they didn't fancy him i.e asymetric

sometimes he stopped fancying them i.e "historic remnants of"
