In my humble experience girls tend to differ hugely from one to the next; there isnt one flawless tactic - all you can really do just be yourself, be confident, try and avoid awkward silences by keeping the conversation flowing, and if you have a sense of humour - use it  :P. If you think she is nice after speaking to her(you cant judge a girl soley on looks) smile at her, pay her subtle compliments that are built into the conversation and then ask her if she would like to meet up again; if yes ask for her number.

But then hey dont trust anything I say, I am 18 and have only had two proper girlfriends. But I love Rachel - and I resent you saying love is a fickle feeling  X(

It is the *feeling* of love that is fickle - love can exist without the feeling (primarily caused by phenylethylamine,  a drug found in chocolate) but some people confuse the feeling with love, and then they\'re surprised when it goes away.

The chemical (phenylethylamine) is why many people crave chocolate after a harsh breakup.

\"Falling out of love\" has little to do with love, IMO, and more to do with coming down off a high.  It\'s a good high, but if there\'s nothing of substance in the relationship then there\'s no *love* (er, well, I guess by my definition of love.)

As haddaway once asked, what is love?

I\'m guessing love is the exact opposite of hatred... At least that\'s how I\'d explain it..

Most of you know the sensation hate can bring up in you, or despair for that matter, try reversing that, and you have your explanation.. less typing for me :D

ok allow me to rephrase it, how do you get rid of the wrenching feeling in the stomach, the tightness in the chest, and the undying feeling of longing.

People love to hate and hate to love.

Hey, I made one of those idiotic one-line quotes, and I didn\'t even had to pay for some speech-writer to do it!

Love and hate, like good and evil, can you have one without the other?

Another fun little thoughts:

Hate is not the absince of Love, nor is love teh absince of Hate.  Love and Hate are the two sides of the coin of passion.  Without Passion you have something more devistating than either love or hate, Apathy.  Without passion, love or hate, nothig great is done.

Passion shmassion.

Passion (that tightness in the chest blah blah blah) is not love. That\'s being in love. Infatuation is experienced by teenagers and when you meet someone new. It inspires passion. But it fades away. You can\'t be \"in love\" with someone forever. You can, however, love them.

To quote my mother (Married):

Quote

Being in love is seeing only the good things in a person and ignoring the bad.

Loving a person is recognising both the good and the bad, and accepting them.


I think that one of the most silly things I have ever heard is, \"I think I don\'t have any feelings for you any more.\"

Of course, it is good to remember that infatuation is good and should be enjoyed, but a relationship based on infatuation alone is a weak thing. Of course, if you spend your entire life switching partners because your feelings change, do not expect anything different when \"the one\" comes along and the infatuation lasts long enough to get you married.

Love is something which a person should have for everyone. I personally try to love everyone (but sometimes n00bs get on my nerves and I hulk out :P ). When infatuation couples love, a solid relationship is born.

Not really.
If it\'s two sides of the same coin, there wouldn\'t be \'love-hate\' toward things.

very wise words, karakth.. You seem have a better understanding of how things work than many a guy I\'ve shook hands with..
