I do this too, but not to flirt, I'm just shy :(

Protip: If you REALLY want to get a guy's attention, don't just avoid eye contact--gouge out your eyes with a pencil or a fork! It'll make a first impression he'll never forget!

@Anonymous: I personally carry around a cigar cutter, and when I catch his eye, I wink and slice a cigar in half. Nothing is hotter.

@Anonymous: I think I avoid eye contact because I'm an idiot. But it's stronger than me.

I'd feel so flattered if a girl walked up to me and avoided eye contact.

@Jiakko: just tell me how you'd notice that.

@francesco9001: Same way any person can notice when someone else is avoiding eye contact with them.

@Jiakko: Except that avoiding eye contact is a perfect way not to be noticed.

@francesco9001: It is.
Unless you've already been noticed.
Then it just brings more attention to yourself.

@Jiakko: I guess...
Well, I think I'll just stick to my flow-chart.

@francesco9001: I will too.
:)

@Napo: Why does sex even come into it at this point? Surely sex is one of the last steps in a relationship?

@Anonymous: A relationship without sexual attraction is something colloquially referred to as "friendship".

@Anonymous: sexual attraction and actually having sex are completely different things, my point was the act of having sex should be one of the last things to think about

@SQ_Minion: Same here.

@Anonymous: You are doing it wrong...

@Anonymous: Pretty much, yeah! *avoids eye contact*

@Anonymous: No I'm not, I just feel sex requires deep emotional connection as it is the most intimate act you can have with someone.

@Anonymous: >Says sexual attraction and having sex are different.
>Thinks that thinking about having sex doesn't count as sexual attraction.

No, you actually are doing it wrong. Sex fosters deep emotional connection.

@Tati5001: *also avoids eye contact* It's lurv at first avoidance!

@Anonymous: Not really, I'm quite happy that the only person I've had sex with is my fiance.

@Anonymous: I think what anon is trying to say is he's avoided one night stands and wanted to make sure that the person he has sex with is the person he loves and wants to spend the rest of his life with!

@Anonymous: I'm happy that I had sex with multiple partners before marriage - otherwise I would never have known how incredible and amazing my wife is - seriously the BEST, unreal superpussy (and I never have to doubt or second guess)!!!
Pre-marital sex? Highly recommended.

@JackBlack: THANK YOU! Someone who actually gets it

@Anonymous: I was never against pre-marital sex just stuff like having sex on the first date and shit

I'm never getting married, but I wouldn't mind living with someone for a long time if I really liked them.

@Anonymous: because after the first date there isn't enough of an emotional connection

Haha imagine how this conversation would be playing out right now on 4chan

@Anonymous: The problem with this is that you'll never truly know if you and the person you're marrying are in fact the best match possible. That's the idea of dating multiple people and sleeping with multiple people before settling for one, how can you truly know that she's "the one" unless you have a reference point for what incompatibility is?

I'm not saying "one night stands are great," I hate the idea of casual sex with nameless partners, what I'm saying is that waiting for "the one" to come along before sex is shortsighted. Date a person for a while, see if you have that mental connection, then have sex to see if you're compatible on all levels, don't just assume the first person you have sex with is the most compatible.

@Anonymous: It would probably be pretty normal if it was on /adv/

@Anonymous: "I'm in the friend zone, how can I make this girl who I'm pretending to be friends with have sex with me?"
"She's not attracted to me? That's preposterous, girls just don't like nice guys, I'm just such a nice guy."

I was in the friend zone once. Ended up having sex with her twice and we're still good friends who get a little to drunk sometimes and go at it.

@Anonymous: Friends with benefits: The best kind of friends

@Anonymous: other than drawfriends

@Anonymous: If only drawfriends were friends with benefits life would be perfect.

@Anonymous: Ask the next drawfriend you see if they want to! Nothing to lose really!

I think girls who friendzone boys (and vice-versa) are cowards. If a guy I am not interested shows he is interested in more than being friends, I just tell him it will never happen. It results in losing the guy who was never really interested in being friends anyway.

@Tati5001: It isn't really cowardly to want a friendship, the only true cowardly act is to enter into a pity based relationship.

@Anonymous: Friendzone and friendship are 2 different things.

@Tati5001: Not really, friend zone is simply the act of rejecting an advance and saying "we are good friends, let's keep it that way." Friend zone means outright saying that you don't want to date a friend who wants more.

If they really are a friend, they'll stick around, more often though they just fall out of your life, because they were just wanting a relationship.

@Anonymous: No, friendzone is exactly the opposite. You want to be with someone that clearly don't want to be with you so you stick with them under the pretext of being friends. Because that person won't tell you he/she is not interested in you, you stick around hoping one day they will return the feelings.

@Tati5001: I think you have the definition of friendzoning backwards. It's the person who has no interest that's doing the friendzoning. It's the person who sticks around expecting things will change that's in the friend zone.
