Lamobatsman, all I'm saying is make sure you feel that your feelings are reciprocated before giving yourself to someone. Don't invest everything right away. As for the attention whore comment, at one point I was that guy going out of his way trying to please girls and give them the perfect impression of me. It didn't work and I ended up buy a lot of dinners and whatnot for nothing. Lots of girls like the romantic attention, but have no intention of going beyond "friends". I can like a girl, but I won't take her seriously until I've slept with her, because I've seen plenty of girls put on a great front. Now I don't really care what girls think of me, and am just myself. I am direct, and I go for what I want, and if she doesn't like it...**** her, I'll find someone else.
