ABORT! ABORT! I've been there before - you do NOT want to go down this road!! It will only end badly!

Well, if you want to steal her you just have to befriend her and wait for the right moment to step in. It certainly can work, it's just not the most likely outcome. It's not cheating if she just openly switches partners because she's not happy and you seem like a better partner.


Then she'd be rebounding, which means the relationship is doomed from the start. Unless he's willing to pull the tricks that boys pull when they're pretending to be a girl's friend (eg. saying things like "if I was your boyfriend...", flirting, finding excuses to be closer, giving her "friend" gifts, etc), then he runs the risk of only being considered a friend. And, if he's going to pull the tricks, then he's being underhanded and sleazy, which I'm sure is something the OP does not want to be.

Not only is this unlikely to be successful, like you said, but it's also a colossal amount of work and I'm just not sure any person is worth it.


When i think about it since she's not sending me signals the only way i could make any sort of progression with her is to simply become her freind, which i can't be bothered doing as its very likely i won't get anywhere and as simon said it would probably be a colossal amount of work.

But we don't really know where she is in her relationship. If she's at the tail end of it and ready to move on, that's an entirely different story from truly being in a relationship. If it's the end, he can just happen to be there when the tree falls, rather than actively chopping it down or playing games.


Well put, being there when the tree falls would be my ideal situation, but as i've mentioned since she's not sending me signals i don't think i can actually be there when the tree falls, as in if she's not taking an interest in me now then i doubt she'll show interest in the future.

although now i've thought about it i think my whole idea of "winning her over" was a bit far fetched in general. im pretty inexperienced with talking and befreinding woman. given that im already dealing with a fair bit of anxiety when talking to girls, talking to a girl who's most likely not currently looking for a relationship and doesn't take too much interest in me will just make it even harder. the potnetial relationship (even a cool freindship) you'd working towards just wouldn't exist, so there's not much reward in the whole thing.

tbh i didn't think we have much in common, suppose i was pretty happy that i was able to exchange more than a couple of sentences with a girl about anything other than class (which rarely happens) and didn't want to blow the whole thing. its definatly not as a big deal as i was making it out to be earlier in the thread

thanks for your responses guys, i think for now i'll refocus on getting to know girls in general (although feel free to discuss away) :)

Forget her. You'd just be wasting your time. Move on, there are a lot of single people.

This is a kinda friendship orientated question i suppose, but my goal is relationships if u get me.

Basically there's been this girl im trying to become interested in me, although from the start i don't think i was getting her sexually attraccted to me, our communication was more like we were acquaintances, kinda my fault. but anyway, she mentions she has a BF, so i thought ok i suppose i'll drop that thought

the thing was i kinda know her a bit better from anyone else in my class, so i'm thinkin mabye i'll just treat her like a freind in the hope of being looked upon more favourably by her freinds, also in my class. on the other hand, is it worth it? I get the impression she jsust doesn't care to really talk to me at all, like she'd respond to my remark breifly and look away. im thinking this mite be due to my "over-eagerness" to talk to her earlier on, for example i caught her in a store she works in a couple of months back and went to initiate a convo, but for like a min i was kinda standing there nervously with my eyes darting around while saying nothing of real interest. Obviously i don't think this has done any favours from the way she views me, girls tend to be turned off by men who show signs of social inexperience, and consequently she wouldn't be interested in a friendship. Would i have another chance to attract her to me maybe when she's out of whatever relationship she's in?

Im sure my situation seems quite insignificant to the more relationship-experienced people round here, but i'm using this example to also gain some info on how people generally "get themselves" into relationships, as i gather that in most cases u have to interest the woman sexually upon first meeting them, as opposed to situations depicted in films like Adam for example, or in other words, for her perception of u to go from awkward to very gradually "possible relationship material".

as ever, any info is greatly appreciated.


I've bolded key points. She's not interested in you and never has been. Whether she has a boyfriend of not is not relevant. The point is she told you she does, and that is a hint to say "I'm not interested in you". Do yourself a favour and forget her. You don't want to end up in a prison cell.

I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago, except that for me it was a bit more than a passing attraction and she had only just started dating a guy who she wasn't sure if she liked or not. It wasn't fun for me to deal with. And quite honestly, it spoiled any chance we had of becoming friends--it was just too awkward. Definitely best just to let this go, and probably just to avoid her. I don't care if you want experience making friends with girls--if nothing else this would just be really awkward for you and probably quite upsetting as well.

This thread should've ended on the second post. You have no chance with her.

Well, there's no ring on her finger, so technically, most guys would say she's fair game if you can pry her away from her current BF.


Only little boys. Men don't try and steal other mens girls.


Go girl!! You tell 'em Emlion!! :D

Its also good not to obsess over things. We obsess naturally and this sort of thing can get unhealthy. He needs to know now theres no chance.

Well Jamie8675309 you could break them up. Get yourself a pair of woman's panties ball them up for a few days. Find her boyfriend's car put the panties under one of his car seats. Get a male friend she does not know to call her to tell her to tell her boyfriend to stay away from his wife. Then tell her he caught them screwing in his car go look for evidence. Also put a condome wrapper under the seat.

I did this to a resteraunt manager when he was causing trouble for me telling everyone I was ret*d and they should not be picking on me. It was his way of calling me a ret*d to my face and not get into trouble. He came in with a fat lip and scratches around his neck he never suspected it was me and I got his wife to kick his ass, :twisted: If the shoe was on the other foot some NT guy would do the same to you.

But as a disclaimer if she is not into you even without the boyfriend then you will still be without her and she will never trust men again. :lol: :roll: So ignore what I said above. I would never use this technique to get a girlfriend but only to screw someone over.

Seriously, do this to someone who his screwing with you. I got the idea from watching Jerry Springer half the women on that show found panties, ear rings, and open condome wrappers when they caught their husbands/boyfriends cheating on them. I called his wife from the phone at work right at the bar. I also sprayed the heater inside his car with skunk sent.

I also made a fake a child molester notice once and put a guy's face on it. My mom gets child molester notices all the time because she works at a school so I could do a simple cut and past job with photoshop. I gave it to him as a joke slash warning. My fellow employees bet me I could not pull it off. I made it so outlandish any idiot could see it was fake but it did let them know not to mess with me.

That's going too far. You can get done for that, you know.

:lol: That's a great idea; that would be fun to do should the occasion arise. 8)

But I've realized that a romantic relationship is too much work, a waste of time, and not worth it. No offense to the procreators out there though. :P

Thats why I made it outlandishly fake in the part listing the sex crime portion I just wanted him to see that anything is possible if screw with someone. Thats why I never post a daylight or clear photo of me I know it could be used to make something like that.

Youtube has posts that show you how to get into school lockers. I could only imagine the trouble I could have caused for bullies in high school if youtube existed when I was a teenager.
