Painted

I've known this girl for a few months, and when I talk to her, she sometimes complains about something that happened.

"Fuck, I cut myself today"

"This cocksucking cop gave me a speeding ticket"

"Ugh, I got a job interview tomorrow"

"Shit, I'm totally broke."

What do I say when she says one of these things? Usually I just change the topic or say something like "Oh that sucks". I really wanna land in bed with this girl, so help is appreciated.

To number 1: "What were you doing?"
To number 2: "How fast were you going?"
To number 3: "Where at?
To number 4: "That sucks."

With the first three she's looking to tell a story. By providing the openings I have inserted above, you allow her to continue telling the story. She wants to vent. Let her vent. If you do this...chances are you will succeed.

Gosh, I never thought of it that way. Thanks!

Interesting. I'm like your lady friend, except no one is trying to lay me, and I'm male. I complain about everything, even when I make a conscious effort not to, something will just fly out. My friends react the same way as you do, but then again they're not trying to lay me. I suppose they've also never considered that I just want to vent... or just don't care.

No. not a good plan if you want to lay her.

If you let her vent, she will use you to vent. All the time. You're right to change the subject- change the topic to something happy/funny/even neutral.

If you can change her mood, she'll at least subconciously realize you're someone who makes her happy. If she always come to you in a crappy mood though, don't take that crap. Tell her to talk to you later after she's done pouting.

She doesnt vent all the time, its just something she pops up in the conversation. I dont want to come off as a guy who doesnt care about what happened to her.

mikeylips

You definatley want to get her to talk. If she's saying stuff like that she probably wants to elaborate and tell more. Chances are she's already been ignored and brushed off by other people who didn't really care. Ask her questions and get her to tell you what's on her mind. Basically I agree with onesnowyowl.

thingstodo

I think it's called conversation, tied into a culture.

'but really you only care to get her in bed.. right? so why does it matter?
you really DONT care.

let's be honest here.

bernadette

unless you really don't give a damn, let her expound & listen.
then tell her your daily complaints.

i don't know!
do you want to be with this girl for more than sex?

ALWAYS change the subject to something happy. DO NOT let her continue on her "shitty life" tangent. that will only spell defeat for your endeavors. If you get her to be happy around you, she will notice. If she says "I cut myself" then just ignore her and talk about something exciting going on or something. She's only trying to bring you down.

Gee, I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly

Yeah, those guys are just out to fill their quota so they can go get some more donuts.

Well, I hope it goes well.

Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to make ends meet nowadays.

mikec

let her vent, then hit her off with the best line going:

"nice shoes, wanna fuck?"

"Fuck, I cut myself today" -- Oh, no! Are you okay?

"This cocksucking cop gave me a speeding ticket" -- Aw, that sucks...

"Ugh, I got a job interview tomorrow" -- Yeah, those can be stressful.

"Shit, I'm totally broke." -- Aren't we all...

sandinista

Well, I guess the best way to interpret those is to look at "pinkie"s signature. 'nuff said.

I'm confused. Why would you have problem with this? This is normal conversation.

to all of the above...

"...Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn..."

wait a second, maybe *thats* why i'm single...

j/k... i don't understand what the problem is here. i think all of these listed statements are legitimate conversation starters... all of which you could use to make serious discussions, or banter.

2. Did you get his badge number? Want me to kick his ass?
3. Good, your broke ass needs a job...
4. Want to make $10 the hard way?

Good luck!

This is 2004. Sadly, "normal conversation" consists mainly of short statements and various grunt-like noises.

Painted: if your intent is to get laid, whenever you hear one of those catch phrases take the bait and allow her to vent to you. When she's finished, assure her that her problems are hardly enough to tarnish her spirit, and that she's a resilient woman and can overcome the greatest of obstacles. Basically, make her feel like she's a Queen, and she will make you her king.

Have fun storming the castle!

"Fuck, I cut myself today"
Aww that sucks wanna fuck?

"This cocksucking cop gave me a speeding ticket"
Speaking of cocksucking....

"Ugh, I got a job interview tomorrow"
Oh good luck wanna go over some questions he might ask and then fuck?

"Shit, I'm totally broke."
I'll pay you to fuck me

Seriously man if she wants to fuck you she probably will as long as you don't say anything stupid that is. If she says she's broke...ask her if she wants to go grab a bite to eat your treat then she at least doesn't have to worry about how she's gonna get food that day...I mean have you made a move on her yet? All the conversation in the world could very well amount to nothing if you never make a move...You can have a great conversation on a DATE! Body language says a lot too..let her know your interested...then if she's interested too good things could happen and if she's not then you no longer have to waste time trying to get with her when it's never gonna happen. Not to say that you should give up right away though...her opinion of you could change. Good luck.

Normal conversation... you asking this tells me that you're merely only interested in her putting out and nothing more... in which case there's nothing I can say to help ya out.
