HOW TO DATE A FRIEND
No one wants drama. But you have only
yourself to blame if you wanted something casual and she’s seeing wedding
bells the next morning.
If you’re just looking for fun (we’ll cover
more serious relationships in a second),
communicate this before you hook up.
But how? You’ll insult her, and kill your
chances, with something like, “You know
this is only for tonight, right?”–even if
she wants something casual, too.
(If you want something casual) DO show
her that you can be discreet
No woman wants to get a reputation, especially among her friends. Reassure her
that you’re not a blabbermouth. But just
as in the last example, you can’t just say it
directly. Try, “By the way, if we hook up
later, I’m not going to tell anyone.”
Instead of teasing, we’ll use storytelling
in this example. Tell her about a friend
of yours who hooked up with someone
and then told everyone. Say how lame
you thought that was, and how you value
discretion and privacy.
A side benefit is you’re subtly setting
expectations that you expect her to be
discreet as well.
(If you want a relationship) DO get
physical
Have you ever been told that if you want
a relationship with a woman, that you
shouldn’t try to take things physical too
early? My guess is that you’ve heard this
mostly from women, and it’s bad, bad
advice. In reality, the man who is boning
a woman has a much better chance of
becoming her boyfriend, if that’s what
he wants and he knows what he’s doing,
than the guy who is “dating and waiting.”
DON’T act differently
toward her in public
Whether you’re
friends with benefits or a committed couple, it’s not
going to last long
if you get jealous
when you go out,
and she’s her usual
friendly self with
other guys in your circle of friends. If
you start acting controlling or less fun,
or make her less fun, then all of her
friends are going to work to sabotage
whatever is going on with you two. You
really don’t want to be up against that.
DO start at the top
I fully realize that this is obnoxious, but
I’m going to say it anyway. Most circles
of single friends have an informal social
hierarchy, and with women it’s often
correlated with attractiveness.
If the woman who catches your eye is a
potential soul mate, go for it no matter
who she is. But if you’re attracted to
a couple of different women in
your social circle, go for the
hottest one first.
