Robot Dog Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This is my first post on these forums, so I'll start of by introducing myself. I'm 18 years old. You can call me Robot Dog . I've never been in a relationship before. Last year, as a senior, I was approached by a girl who thought I was "hot". She bought me a big basket of stuff for Valentine's Day, and asked me if I would be her boyfriend. From what she had told me, I was able to conclude that she liked me because, and only because, she thought I was hot. I told her that I didn't want to be in a relationship that was based purely on physical attraction. That was my introduction to the whole female scene. Later that year I met a girl, and I fell for her instantly. We spent the summer together having fun just being with each other. That did not result in a romantic relationship but in an awesome friendship. Now, in september I met a girl and since have gotten to know her. Since then we've also had many meaningful conversations, had great fun together... Everything's nice. Well, I decided two days ago that I wanted to ask her to be with me. So I did. Her response wasn't really all that... well... I don't know. A friend called me tonight and told me that she felt the same way, and I asked to talk to her. She was being really shy and said she'd call me back. Well, she called me back and we talked for a while, and I think the conversation went well. I told her that this was probably a conversation that we should have in person, and that's what I intend to do... Anyways, I come here because I've never been in a relationship and I'm not sure what to do. The trust is there. The honesty is there. The mutual attraction is there. It sounds like a home run, right? Well, I don't know what I'd do if I were in a relationship with this girl. I'm asking you experienced people exactly what would change. What would I need to do to make her feel like the relationship is there and we're not just friends anymore? Thanks, I appreciate and will consider any input you've got.

Quinch Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Welcome to LS, RD If this girl really feels the same way then I have three simple words for you my friend. WINE AND DINE. Dig deep into your wallet and show her a good time. Posh restaurant, flowers, candlelight, champagne ... the works. Make her feel special Link to post Share on other sites
Author Robot Dog Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks Quinch, and thanks for your feedback... Unfortunately, both of us are under the legal drinking age... Also, I don't think she's the kind of girl that would really enjoy going out like that... Link to post Share on other sites
Author Robot Dog Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 So... Today I walked about two miles in really bad rain to go talk to her in person... I got there and she was really surprised that I'd walked all that way to meet up with her and talk. She said it made her feel important, and I of course told her that she was. Well, we talked. Conversation was a little awkward but it turned out good in the end, and we're now together. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm now actually in a relationship with this girl, and I'm still kind of not knowing what exactly to do. I might sound a little stupid saying this but I'd rather be stupid than naive... I'm asking for your advice/experiences... How do I fill my role as her boyfriend? I already treat her with so much respect. I am there for her when she's down, I compliment her when I feel it's right. There's just those little things that I think I need to do but I don't know what they are. Thanks if you've got any input... Link to post Share on other sites
