Unlikely. I've been in her shoes before, having an enjoyable conversation with a man who is probably into me but isn't making any direct moves. I avoid mentioning the boyfriend because I know as soon as I do, he will disappear and the perfectly lovely conversation is over.

An hour???

Too long my friend.

Back when I was a single guy (bout 100 years ago) you talked for 15-20 minutes tops, got a number and got out of there. Alternatively after 20 minutes of conversation you would ask if she wanted to go to another bar and get a drink with you...the reason for this of course was to get away from your moron friends and her PITA friends.

As far a a sure fire way to "get the girl" I imagine being either incredibly handsome and/or wealthy would do the trick!

Madame, you have enjoyed lovely conversations under false pretenses! At a hopeful suitor's expense! For shame! If you thought conversations were to be enjoyed at face value, you were sadly mistaken.


So, this is what the world has come to? *sighh*

Charm and wit will do it, especially if the woman is in an unhappy relationship.

Couldn't you just ask her if she has a boyfriend? After several minutes of chatting, it seems natural to ask someone if she is open to being approached. If a guy talked to me for an hour about everything EXCEPT getting my number, I'd think he just wasn't interested. I think you're taking too long to make your intentions known. Some women don't turn back on once they're off.

I'm actually surprised no one jumped on me for being a tease. Because, you know, men only endure conversations with women if there's hope of p-tang at the end.

Is it THAT weird to talk to someone of the gender(s) you're attracted to and not be hitting on them?

it depends on the conversation topic, how attractive the girl is, whether the guy is interested, whether he himself already has someone. We arent out there trying to meet female friends, that is not the typical guys goal.
