I love watching PUA lecture videos, but I realized that watching them in field is so much more beneficial to learn body language than reading pickup theory.

I can't stress this enough. Practice seduction in all aspects of it. Don't improve just a certain section.

Lets talk subtle body language. Girls that twirl their hair are so ready to meet you, and guess what - they all do that. Use that as an excuse to open.

I know how RP theory is about dropping female friends if they add no value or if you supplicate to them a lot, even though she's someone I used to date. While she spends a lot of money on me, I do invest a little time in her in return.

She's spending money on you. Forget the anti-materialism propaganda. That is adding value.

Also, what do you mean that she spends "a lot" of money on you while you invest "a little" time in her. Also, "in return"? Does that mean you invest time back in her obligatorily because of the money/presents she gives you?

Maybe it's just your weak language, but you don't make it sound like she's actively trying to take advantage of you.

I ask, is this acceptable behavior? What would be RP approach? I see her again on Nye. I messed up my last relationship by texting too much and showing too much interest.

You might have left some important details out, Nothing you wrote specifically makes it sound like you're investing way too much into her. It's only implied by the mere fact that something this trivial is cause for concern.

I'm not trying to leave much out. She spent 300$ on a plane ticket for me during when we were dating. Outside of it, She buys food and booze, gives me supplies, visited me in hospital. I haven't given her anything about emotional support. Ever time she wants to see me, I have to trek a mile to walk to her place.

I get attached to people who invest in me because I think they deserve it. I'm typically stoic about thing if they don't go my way.

This is how you get bought.

You broke up with her? Why?

[–]jakeinmn[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Original relationship didn't work. She lived in with me and got really bitchy and abusive. I asked her to comfort on my last relationship, where a girl stopped wanting to see me.

[–]Howmydiktaste691 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

If you broke up with her, why do you want to be friends? Are you comfortable with her introducing you to the guy who's boning her?

[–]jakeinmn[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've met all the people she's fucked.

Sounds like you're orbiting too bro. She buys you beer, who cares. It's not worth how attached you're getting. Next.

[–]fruitofmyloom0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I just asked her for some comfort on my own just now. She said she doesn't have the capacity to.

hehe

[–]Jedclark0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I personally don't think boys can be friends with girls, unless you plan on sleeping with them (in that case you wouldn't approach them as a friend anyway).

[–]shankems20000 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

She said she doesn't have the capacity to.

I think you answered your own questions right there....

[–]wh40k_Junkie0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Honestly, you should still be able to have one or two friends of the female variety. They will offer things to you that you can't get from your guy friends. Just don't treat them the same as a guy friend.

You don't ask them to help you move, but if you're down and you need to talk about your emotions, you should have at least one girl that is willing to listen. If she's that girl though, know that you will never bang her, so go into it with that frame. This girl is your confidant and your psychologist, not your lover. Do not fall in love with her, just see her as a girl you can be emotionally intimate with.

Girls are different than guys and their friendship offers different benefits. But they have benefits, just remember that.

Also, side note, whenever I write here, I'm always fucked up on booze, no idea why

[–]phasetwenty0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Anyway, I was with her, comforting her for two of her break ups. I just asked her for some comfort on my own just now. She said she doesn't have the capacity to.

It doesn't sound like your relationship is one-sided in your description, but this is a red flag. There's nothing wrong with pulling back if you feel taken advantage of.

The only girl I want to friend at the moment wants to fuck me but the thing is I refuse to use beta game on her because she's a fucking cunt.

Catch 22, either they wanna friend zone you or you wanna friend zone them. You lose either way. Fuck and leave. Too much beta game is exasperating.
