That's one way to put it...

I think Housh's advice is solid. I had one relationship in college that ended badly and it took me years to recover from it. But I think I'd regret it still had I never gotten involved in the first place.

good point.

i'm just too damn picky.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think spending time in bed together is more than flirting. You kids sure know how to complicate something pretty simple. Girl in your bed wants to have sex with you.

Now if you have some kind of moral or aesthetic reservation, then don't get into bed with her.

This seems beyond pathetic to me.

only it's really not the situation at hand

Well, no, but it still belongs in the whole why playing games with members of the opposite sex is really a waste of time genre.

i've been there, done that, but this ain't that.

also, WE don't play games. Women play games. Fact. From a book. Of science.

hipster party tonight ftw

There should be a hipster hunting season. Their population is out of control.

What's she playing, solitaire?

It sounds like you may even have things in reverse, Paul. He said he's too picky so maybe he just doesn't find this girl attractive enough.

shes just a good girl. I feel bad using/corrupting her. STOP FLIRTING WITH ME DAMNIT.

Sometimes Trent Steele misses being a player.

He also said she's a good girl. She wants him. He isn't closing the deal. Maybe it's a moral thing, maybe it's aesthetic. Either way, he should stop sleeping in the same bed with her. How do I have that in reverse?

Maybe she's the one who's being a friend who secretly wants him

Wait, so if he was attracted to her physically but not emotionally, your advice is to go ahead and get down, but since the situation is reversed, he should not sleep in the bed to avoid hurting her? I don't get it.

He should not sleep in the same bed if he's not going to have sex with her.

I don't think it's a secret. She's being about as obvious as she can be about being into him.
