Relationships are poker, DONT show your hand!
This is a reader who purchased my TextAppeal book. Pretty much a sure fire way to get me to answer any question. I assume from this email that the reader is about 21 or so.
Hi Mike,
I have a question I would LOVE answered. Recently a guy I met tried to kiss me, I pushed him away, laughed at him and told him I had a boyfriend (not true). We spoke randomly over private FaceBook messages over the next 2 weeks. Then the following week, he did something that really got my attention and I found myself really liking him. Anyway, out of the blue, he asked me over. I went over to his place and we spent the night kissing. He tried to have sex with me and I said “no and that I’m not like that” he responded with “i wasn’t expecting it anyway”. I walked away that night feeling like i’ve met someone and that I had just had the most amazing night of my life.
So I didn’t hear from him…………….. [click to continue…]

Screw you, I don't care if he is using me
God… This fucking question again. This is a Girls Ask Guys reader which is an obnoxious website where young people scream at each other. Kinda like this girl does to me after I give her an answer. Sorry I didn’t edit her mail down. Scan it if you want. I am busy marketing a book so I don’t really have the time to make this post perfect but regardless it was an interesting email interaction.
I met a guy 7 months ago in a new job, we were both starting out as contractors with a group of people and we ended up sitting together during training. We became friends and eventually we began to like each other, thing is he has a live-in girlfriend, so we both backed off. Our friendship grew along with out liking of each other until I asked him to choose one or the other. He said he didn’t know, he liked us both and was confused. Few months passed and our connection grew more and more, he asked me if I was capable of moving in with him or marrying him (which is what we both wanted at this point in life), at the moment I didn’t believe in living together before marriage (call me old-fashioned). He was throwing questions around, measuring me I guess. For you to better understand this maybe you might need to know a bit about him, he’s 27 yrs old, his gf is 30, (I’m 23) they’ve been together for a yr and half or so (he doesn’t really know) and they moved in together quite quickly. He’s proud, he’s stubborn, he’s brutally honest with me and he makes rash decisions. He used to be a player but decided he didn’t want that anymore and settled with this girl, he had no intentions of cheating at any point and honestly thought he was going to marry her at some point, in fact when we first met he told me he was asking a friend of his to design an engagement ring.

LOVE the Dangerous girl!!
You know that person, the one who is branded to your mind? The one that maddens you STILL with lust, confuses you with passion and has been under your skin for years or even decades. What was it about them? What made them stand out?
Psychos are my hobby
I know my addictions pretty well and just like I have a rule to limit my drinking, I have strict boundaries to limit the crazies. But why? Why, tightrope over the crocodile pit? Because it is fun!! The crazies are erratic, so passionate, stuffed with emotion often exploding in dangerous directions. Dating someone like this puts me at my ultimate guard, taming the tiger with only a whip and a chair. [click to continue…]

Like to borrow a pen?
Phone:
“Hello? Are you there? What? did I say something to offend you?” I was talking at the same time a little confused why she couldn’t hear me. I looked down at my iPhone and realized I hit the mute button with the side of my face.
Texting:
Me: “I wasn’t too stoked about your ex husband calling me.”
Her: “I am so sorry about that, he must have searched my phone”
Her 10 mins later: “Hello are you there? are you mad at me?”
Her another 10 minutes later: “I don’t understand why you are so upset, it isn’t like it is my fault!”
I wasn’t able to respond since I was at dinner with a friend.
Face to face:
“I really can’t take under 1,100 for it” I opened the computer noticing that it was it had been used and wasn’t as new as he had claimed, I looked back up at him. “My cousin used it once, otherwise it’s new.” I sat at his table silent but with my eyebrows raised. The silence went on a couple seconds too long, “I suppose I could go down a hundred, if you have cash.” I still didn’t say anything and 10 seconds passed, “8?” I said. He looked a little pained, “950?” “9…” He sighed, “okay.” I had talked him down $200 with only two words.
Silence is one of the most powerful tools of communication there is. Silence challenges the other person to be comfortable in their own skin, to not fill in the void with their own self-doubt. This challenge tells you if they have the emotional intelligence to assume the best about themselves. A badge of confidence that we want in a partner. [click to continue…]

AHHH!!! NO!! LEFT LEFT!!!
I was lucky enough to get a second guest post from the prolific Skye Blue make sure you visit her at Metanotherfrog.com
Skittish men
Him: What do you mean you want to date?
Me: You know, hang out a few times a month, and spend time talking, getting to know each other, and having fun. And if through all of that we find out we’re compatible, maybe some time way down the line – we could make things exclusive
Him: Oh…Okay. I thought you meant date as in being in an exclusive relationship right now.
Me: Dude, we just met two weeks ago and we’ve only spent a few hours together. How could I possibly know I want a relationship with you yet?
Him: Well, you and I think alike, which is a good thing. But you’d be surprised how many times I’ve had women try to lock things down with me after just two dates.
Me: Come on, you sure you’re not just a little high on yourself?
Him: Trust me Skye. Most of the women I meet are looking for a man to wife ‘em and then drop some seed real quick. Because I so rarely meet women who aren’t moving on that program, I just assume that that’s what most women in their 30s want now – even when they tell me they don’t.
Me: Wow. So what you’re saying is that you don’t really believe I just want to date and see how things go?
Him: Let’s just say I won’t be surprised if you come to me singing a different tune in a few weeks. [click to continue…]

But I thought chicks digged muscle?
“What the fuck does she have that I don’t?” Like a petulant child she thrust out her ridiculously large breasts and put her hands on her narrow hips. “Are you serious, you want to give up on this??” She motioned with a Vanna White hand towards a body that would capture the eyes of women as strongly as men. Neggy was unbelievably sexy but I would have preferred to force a large grapefruit up my butt than sleep with her again.
“Show me a beautiful woman and I’ll show you a man that’s tired of fucking her.”
I stopped sleeping with knockout Neggy because I met someone that actually stimulated all of me and not just my testicles. Neggy was one of these people that was so attractive that she could rely 100% on the physical, and thus never developed her mental attraction. It disturbed me vastly that I was as drawn to her as a dog would be to sniff another’s butt. I internally shock my head, I had to get control over my nuts. [click to continue…]
