This is quite possibly, the most entertaining thread in the history of BITOG and I got to the party late.
Chris, don't try to figure this thing out because you never will. It could be *anything* - maybe she didn't like the slope of your forehead or the way you walk. Who knows? (note: I'm not sayin there's anything wrong with your forehead, just making a point).
Plus, I gotta agree with the other fellas. A fine chick who is single at 37 has some issues that no man will ever figure out. Let this one go and don't look back.
But in the future, don't call twice in one day the day after the date. Rent the movie Swingers for step-by-step instructions.

Maybe, some day, women will even be considered people. I read that all the time women can't think logically (but scheme all the time), are lazy, promiscuous, money-grabbing and superficial -- and I hear they can't even drive.
These stereo typical views didn't form out of a vacuum. Women tend to be wired differently. Sure, some environmental/social influences can probably provide some explanations ..but not for most. The same could be said for men.
Men who experience women who appear to be wired against the stereotypical grain ..tend to be exceptional themselves and are intolerant of those behaviors. They wouldn't be with someone who showed those characteristics ..or at least not for long.
Most of us are not as careful in the mating ritual. Most of us were married in our mid-20's. We were just kids ourselves. The mating ritual is pretty much a sales pitch that has all kinds of sensational claims ..but, like with many things, YMMV with performance in the field.
If you're someone who's not interested in mating ..then your standards of companionship can be more selective. You're not subject to chemical and physical attacks. You experience them, but you've got nothing to surrender since you're not taking on a partner.
Thanks for the abridged Reader's Digest version, Gary.
I love theat article about the construction worker, that is a good one. He's right on.
Women are typicaly indisive if you have a mother and ever had to help her re-arange the furniture you ought to know this! The fact that she made the first move though can mean that she is agresive wich is a growing trend amoung single women in America today. the problem is that after they make an agrssive move like sending a strange guy flowers and their number few know how to follow up.Often they will feel like they were too agrsive and will try to over compensate by going the other direction!I would not worry about it. Either she moved on to somone else or she is feeling embarassed. I would let her make the next move. Two calls close together is telling her you are desperate wich is not good!Go one with life and see what happens.
Useful beginners information.Usually I tell guys that women want you to be confident without being obnoxious. They want to here how you plan to be a big shot and how you plan to do it. After this they want you to shut up and listen to them talk. It can be hard but once you get them talking keep them talking.Learn to use your eye and facial expression to fake interest. Toss in some well timed contact like touching the hands,shoulders hip etc..... You want to break the intamacey barrier with touch right away but gradualy unless she is tossing crazy signals at you. If she drinks keep the drinks comeing!!!

Why do you guys hang out with the type woman you don't even like? I realize that 95% of people are undateable, but that's not a reason to just go out of desperation for those who you really don't care for, who you don't respect and who you may even despise. If you don't like what you see or find out, move on.
"Indisive"? Can I get the definition please?

I wouldn't wait for a definition, considering how many words are spelled incorrectly. it's doubtful a book has been cracked lately.
And...pretty much anytime you see or hear a sentence begin with "(Fill in the Blank)are typically...." what follows is usually a generalization or stereotype, and may very well be a false assumption.

google shows 144 hits for indisive.
as for "typicaly", it shows 609,000!

Well, I'd say it's the lack of an integrated spell check and/or keystroke errors for most of them. I frequently forget to put "r" when attempting to type "your" ..which looks really stupid when seeing it posted ...and we frequently see "the" separated into an added "t" to one word with "he" following it.
..but most likely you're right, the books may not have been cracked lately ..but a few twist offs may have been
The ability to spell has become obsolete. Software can do it faster and much more efficiently. Better to spend time honing other skills. I'd much rather work with a colleague who is smart and can figure things out than some uptight dude who obsseses over spelling errors but can't see the big picture.
I suppose that's one way to excuse yourself. I think it's probably better to both be able to spell and use the language properly, as well as being able to see "The Big Picture".
Letting software think for you is pretty lazy.

Well, I don't consider myself a horrible speller so I don't know what I am excusing. But I do make errors on occasssion (see?) and I have no inclination to improve on it or correct others over the internet. I've got 24 hours of time in my day. Take out 8 for sleeping and another 8 for real work and that leaves me about 8 to spend on leisure and learning. Sorry, but improving my spelling has opportunity costs and is not on my priority list.
If you say so.
Arguing over spelling in an "understanding females" topic?
And you all are wondering why you don't understand females?

Seeing how English is my second of four languages I think I do rather well. If you hear me speak you would think it was my only language. I read them and speak them well but writing is another story all together. On top of this I can tell you were someone is from by their speech. I can usually narrow down to the region with in their country they are from as well. That comes from being well traveled and observant something being an "Army Brat" forces upon you. I freely admit that my spelling leaves a lot to be desired. So much so that I work with my children a lot to make sure that this skill does not get missed. I had a wonderful classic education but some how my spelling never really caught up. I spell checked this just for everybody else's pleasure! The word in question should have been "indecisive" and context should have given it away!For being so smart I am suprised that the meaning was not understood by context alone! I guess some of you missed that skill in school. DO not get oo used to spell checked post's as I have no desire to kill that much time!

Communication is what's important. The rest is fascia. Always nice ..but not essential. Value of content trumps rhyme and meter.
Oh I wanted to add that every place I have ever lived I have never had a hard time getting women to swoon over me. For some reason my lack of spelling kills has always been outweighted by other more important skills. I wounder how many spelling bee winners are hooking up with attractive, smart desireable women at will!In fact I was teaching a few single guys how to talk with women and get numbers and dates or one night stands while attending some class's over summer. Even though I have been married for 10 years I still had the game skills. We went to bar's and resturants and even when out and about shopping. I had them practice the skills I was teaching them in the barracks. Their are a lot of people that feel intimadated talking to other people espcialy the oposite sex. You have to sell yourself or present yourself for judgment in order to get a date and then again for the second date. That is stressful for a lot of people.
I do not spend time with people I am not interested in. In all but a few instances though physical attractivenss was what made me want to talk to them. You can not see what is inside someones heart or mind. Now once you get to know them more intamately you start makeing value judgments based on something other then their apperance like politics,religious beliefs, background etc..... The few cases were it was their keen intellect or personality were people I had the pleasure to meet in college in the dorms or in class. My wife is one of them. She is not even close to what I would call my "type" of women yet we fell completely in love with each other.
