I normally wait till I meet someone I find attractive and intellectually stimulating. Then I try to get to know them better. So far it's never gotten very far though.

What I do is just assume no one is into me, because if I think someone likes me, chances are, I won't be into them. I just pursue who I want (which never works out), write sad songs about love never working out, and go from there. Jon, nice post!

More action! lol Jon--Going along with your statement of looking for the next best thing all of the time, its highly possible that the right guys and girls get dismissed because the time hasn't been invested to grow an interest before looking for the next hot girl or guy. Ironically, our generation is both fast-paced and lazy. With the 6 guys I mention, it's timing and past experiences (or lack thereof) that cloud their efforts to go for their interests. Sometimes, you just aren't ready for a relationship yet and you just hope your interest will still be around when you are ready! Rebekah–you are too cute! More action! lol

I read the book years ago. I have found that girls that follow that book are sometimes accused of being bitter and not giving guys chances. I find this quite amusing! You know what fascinates me? If the rules are so well-known, then why is there a need to analyze them and discuss them so much? Why is there still so much confusion about dating and "who likes who" if there are so few exceptions to these rules? Because modern-day dating is messed up and doesn't fall within the rules. There are WAYYYYY too many exceptions. I can think of 6 guys off the top of my head who like girls and do not make it obvious or ask them out and every single one of these guys has a different scenario/reason for it. My thoughts: 1.) Everyone should stop analyzing so much and just go for it! I have a hard time with this one, but it's useful when followed. It aids in taking away social pressures. 2.) Trust your gut when it comes to does s/he like you or is s/he just flirting. Take things at face value and just see what happens. Use the rules as a general guideline, but your gut always overrides anybody's popular opinion. Even on the off chance that you misread your gut, you'll learn what you need to learn. 3.) It's case by case. People are all so different. Plus, each person grows and changes his or her reactions to how the dating game works as s/he lives and experiences life. 4.) Timing! Timing is sooooo important. Take the friends that are friends for years and then things suddenly change. Somehow the liking becomes mutual, but it took time. Or what about that girl that is leaving for school for one more semester? Just because he didn't ask her out before she left, doesn't mean he didn't like her. It was just bad timing to get something started. OR the famous: "I was getting to know her in group settings, and then I waited too long to feel comfortable asking her out, and now it's too late because we are in 'friend zone'". UGH. A little slow on the uptake there, buddy. And there are many other examples. Point is, in my book, timing is everything.
