Subject: Let's Get Howard a Woman By '09 - FUN ADVICE THREAD

Written By: snozberries on 09/11/08 at 7:01 pm

Hey Howard,

Hope you don't mind but instead of spreading this stuff all over the board I thought I'd give you a place to tell those of us who are interested what's going on with you and Kamika...or whatever honey (except Robin) you care to dish about.



Here's my first piece of advise. 

I know she just wants to be friends and that's okay but try asking her out. Not for a date but ask her for a chat. Go somewhere, away from Pathmark and talk. 

Or you mentioned that she lives in Jamaica Town...ask her about it. And ask if she'd be willing to give you a tour and introduce you to the culture...maybe you could go out for lunch and get some Jerk Chicken....mmmmm jerk chicken  *frantically wiping drool off keyboard*   


Anyway.... keep us updated here.

I had to do a double take and make sure of what I was reading up there ^  ::) 

Howard, I think you're a guy that, once bit by the Love Bug, you fall hard for chicks  http://bestsmileys.com/love2/14.gif
hopefully one day soon, you will meet "the right girl", or at least righter than the others.  anyways, my advice is don't try too hard, don't appear desperate. stay cool and be friendly. compliment your female interests on their looks, but don't overdo it & try to act interested in what they're saying to you.  you're gonna get another girlfriend Howard, I just know it  8)

Thanks Snoz,It's been 7 months and I think I'm done being email friends which in a way is kind of stupid now cause All I do is wind up arguing after a while with her and we go back and forth like a tennis game. ::)


But what I want her to know is that I was the only guy in her life that ever loved her a lot but she'll never see it anymore,She won't believe it.I already know her dating life,Before me in 2003 she found 2 guys off of a dating site but only dated them for 2 weeks but broke up after that and that was it.She met me and we fell in love for 3 1/2 years but unfortunately money got in the way of our relationship and Her And I are now through,no more temporary breakups.

Thanks Mike,I need all the encouragement I can get.Hopefully by next year Kamika And I will become a couple cause both of us got over a loss in our lives.
Her boyfriend abused her and my ex Robin broke up with me over the phone (the week of Valentine's Day,I'm sure you remember that).So maybe this is a good sign,It's like the saying goes some bad things happen in my life then all of a sudden some good things pop up.

I got to talk to my friend last night over the phone for almost 5 minutes and it was great so I'll keep talking to her on her break as a friend and right now nothing more than that cause I wouldn't want to scare her,if she's ready,she'll let me know,Her And I will discuss this matter in private.If she's ready for a boyfriend or If I'm ready for a girlfriend,so be it.

Kamika and I got to talk before work and before we got to put on our outfits.She was showing me her painted toenails and fingernails,they were very pretty.Then after that,She brought up her ex in conversation and I didn't mind so I'm guessing this will be my golden opportunity for her to think about being a couple cause I'll never let her down,I'll treat her so very nice and like a queen,That's how I love my women.So I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hopefully something good will come about maybe in the next couple of months or perhaps in 2009.  :)


Since she's getting over her ex and I got over my ex this will be both of our chances for love and hopefully It'll turn out for the best,I'm so excited. :)

I'm praying that she won't be another "Robin",Godforbid!    ::)

I got to talk to my friend Kamika before she was getting ready for work and I put on the sexy charm by saying 'What's Up,Bootylicious"?
And then I said to her in her ear,"I'd like a taste of some chocolate",I kind of thought she would slap or punch me but she responded in kind by saying "I like doing it in the dark" or something of that matter,that's all I heard,I didn't hear the rest. ;D

Having a job is more important than having a girl because you need money to get a girl

When you get into a relationship, you have to find time to make it work, otherwise both you and her will be miserable, and unhappy.  Does she work the same hours as you do?  PErhaps you guys can do things after work or on weekends?

Although it was a risky thing to say at work to someone, luckily Kamika's reaction didn't head in that direction and she seemed to play into it per Howard's post.


Howard, when the time is right for you, I say ask her out.  Make it something simple like coffee or meet for lunch.  From what you say it seems like she likes you as a friend at the very least and probably wouldn't be opposed to hanging out with you outside of work.  :)  If she says 'no' at first, don't sweat it.  Maybe there's a better time for it down the road.

I think it's very cool that you're having fun at work with this girl.  Like the others said, be careful of what you say there. ;)

Well,She works during the week except for her day off (whenever that is) from 1pm-9pm or 130pm-930pm and no she doesn't work the same hours as I do,unfortunately.After work would be too late,maybe on her break I could get her something to eat or something she needs at the Candy Shop.And as for the weekends,can't do that either,she works on the weekends too plus I'm usually 10-4 on Sundays and she works until 9 or 930 Sundays so that's not good.

Since our hours and days off don't match,Her And I might have to work around it.So I was thinking of maybe bringing in Popeye's or possibly Subway (since she's on a diet) for the both of us and bringing the food into the small break room for a little lunch or dinner.Maybe she's cutting down on all that Jamaican spicy curry food with all that salt (i.e.beef patties,oxtail,goat),that food can pack on the pounds,plus with all that smoking she does,It's not good for her physical or mental health,maybe she has to cut down on that too.I'm trying to ask her for lunch or dinner,It's difficult at this time. :(

Smoking and trying to lose weight doesn't work,smoking only causes you to gain weight,maybe that's why her ex-boyfriend abused her but I wouldn't know the case so I'll just leave well enough alone.
Maybe in the future,there could be a time or a moment where she might need me to help her to stop smoking altogether for motivation,it's going to be difficult but I would like to help her,if she wants it.

at this point you probably should just be cool and give her her space and some distance.  don't sweat it. you'll meet someone soon enogh that wants to connect with you, and then you won't even have to try so hard. don't be mad at her Howard. just put on a smile and move on and accept it.

Or maybe it isn't you.  Maybe she just isn't interested in you that way.  I doubt it is anything you did, but if you keep trying to push her into a relationship then you might just push her away and not even have her as a friend.

it's in her face but maybe like Dagwood said,, she isn't into you like that. another thing is if she's been in a abusive relationship, it may be way too soon for her to get into another guy, and even though you're nice and got money and eager, she may not want to get involved for awhile. be glad you're friends, and start thinking about meeting other girls as the opportunities arise. don't let yourself get hungup again on some chick that doesn't want what you want. keep searching Howard. your girl is out there, you just haven't found her yet.  8)

Or maybe it isn't you.  Maybe she just isn't interested in you that way.  I doubt it is anything you did, but if you keep trying to push her into a relationship then you might just push her away and not even have her as a friend.

Be patient and the right girl will come along. :)


Thanks Dag,Having a friend is better than nothing at all but I'll keep searching and hopefully somebody will come along. :)

I don't want to push any girl into doing anything they don't want to do. :(

it's in her face but maybe like Dagwood said,, she isn't into you like that. another thing is if she's been in a abusive relationship, it may be way too soon for her to get into another guy, and even though you're nice and got money and eager, she may not want to get involved for awhile. be glad you're friends, and start thinking about meeting other girls as the opportunities arise. don't let yourself get hungup again on some chick that doesn't want what you want. keep searching Howard. your girl is out there, you just haven't found her yet.  8)



Thanks Mike,Maybe I push women into doing things they don't want to do.Kamika has now already seen the niceness and generousity in me so she knows I'm a nice and pleasant guy to hang around with. :)


I'll keep searching for the right woman and I know what type of women I want. ;)

I think what I'll do is to just let her be and right now be her friend,Maybe she doesn't want all those ties and commitments at the moment.If I push her,she might get scared and she would feel angry.Some women just want to make money and live for themselves without guys to hold them down but I always wondered if guys felt the same way? ???

Hey Howard.

You ever been by a hospital and see all the "health care workers" standing outside of it smoking? 
Its an addiction and has nothing to do with Kamika being on a diet.
She wants to lose weight not get healthy.
Or she, maybe doesn't need to lose weight but feels like she has to lose weight because she's a girl
and that's what girls are forced to think they need to do in this society.

BTW you keep saying Kamika was in an abusive relationship.

Remember that part of being abused is being smothered by the boyfriend and being constantly harassed by him.

Do Kamika....and yourself a favor and back off for a day or two.

Give her space.

If you keep seeking her out every day...at every break... she may be afraid that you're the smothering type too.

We know you're a nice guy and want to be friends but part of being a nice guy is recognizing when someone needs time to themselves.

Next time you see her say "hi" as you pass but don't loiter. If she wants to talk she'll come to you

After a couple of days then you can seek her out on a break and talk. But then give her a couple days off again.

I'm not Kamika but it would start annoy me if you were there every day - every time I went for a cigarette

but if you were only there sometimes then I'd have time to miss you and be happy to see you again.

If smoking is a turn off to you then she isn't the one for you.   I would say quit trying to get with her and find someone else.  I don't mean this to sound rude, but she deserves someone who doesn't get offended by her habits.  Whatever you do, don't tell her to her face that it bugs you.  Remember how it made you feel when Robin would do that to you.  It will make her feel the same way and alienate her.

I bought her cigarettes because I overheard her saying to someone that she needed cigarettes so I asked her and she said No so I insisted and later she gave me a hug and kiss.
I bought her a box of hot chocolate because I thought I smothered her and never gave her the space she needed so I handed it to her and she gave me a hug and kiss.

Howard if you bought these things when she didn't specifically ask you to buy them or ask if she could borrow money to buy them then she owes you nothing. You made the decision to spend the money on her and you can't expect her to pay you back for something she never asked for in the first place.

Next time you fall for a girl don't try so hard and keep the money in the pocket until you actually go out.... together.

being an only child and having a child are two different things.  She may go out and party (you alluded to this earlier) but maybe she's made arrangements for the kid so you can't judge her for that. Different people respond to their responsibilities differently and until you know the whole situation...which you obviously don't... you should judge especially since you only know part of the story.

Hi Howie, I've been reading your thread with some interest, and I hope you find happiness with this person and at least strike up a friendship. Like you, I'm a baby when it comes to romance - I don't know about this girl, or whether she's the type to make the first move, but I agree with the others don't 'smother' her too much and go easy on the gifts; a thoughtful gift she might have some use for (or that won't kill her  :D just joking). Keep your options open buddy, New York City is a huge place surely you can find love somewhere. Try living where I live...

Karma for getting it.  Unless he wants to pay child support (whether he wants to marry her or not), no single male should ever date a single mother.

In defense of this Kamika individual, I don't think she did anything to entrap Howard.  I think Howard's (sorry to talk about you in the third person, dude) imagination got the best of him.  He imagined a relationship where none existed.  He then hung around his desired female hoping that she'd see his qualifications as a mate, and the rest would be history.  Kamika, puzzled by the attention, accidentally let slip that she was a single mom.  Nothing wrong with admitting you're a single mom to your friend and co-worker, after all.  Nothing wrong with not mentioning it either, since from her perspective, there was absolutely nothing sexual going on.  No sexual harassment suits filed?  Good.  No friendships destroyed?  Good.  No child support liabilities unwittingly incurred?  Check.  Our friend Howard comes out on top for this month's round and lives to fight another day.

If I were into dating, I'd continue to hang out with my friend and co-worker, (and my other friends and other co-workers) and eventually find out if any of 'em have friends who are looking for a date for some event or other.

Ok, Howard, listen.  Snoz has tried to explain it to you twice now, but you don't seem to understand.  I'll give a try and see if I can get through.

When you refer to Kamika as an only child, you are using the terminology wrong.  They way that you mean it is that you didn't know she had a kid, you thought she was childless.  If she were an only child (which she may be or may not be) that ONLY refers to whether Kamika has any brothers or sisters...not children.  So...um...drop the "only child" part when you mean that you didn't know she had a child of her own.

Written By: statsqueen on 09/27/08 at 7:57 pm

I think you both did a brilliant job trying to explain the difference.

Speaking as a single mom, I don't think Kamika was in the wrong.  If I'm just chatting with a guy, I don't feel any compulsion to tell him I'm a single mom.  However, if someone asked me out who didn't already know that I am, I would certainly mention it up front in case it changed his mind about wanting to date me.  I wouldn't want to date anyone who couldn't accept my child (which is probaby why I didn't date much while Micah was growing up)....if they were so afraid I would start asking them to support my child that they couldn't even date me, then I don't want to waste time with them (plus I would never do that anyway).

I also agree with those who said she probably isn't ready to get into another relationship, especially after an abusive one.  I dated a guy briefly and not again after he hit me at Michigan Adventure (in front of a security guard and a bunch of people).  It made me very skittish and took a LONG time to want to try and date again.

Just my two cents  :)

I need a girl about my age or just a little younger.Robin's gone out of my life,Kamika just wasn't for me so it's up to me to find the right person.I'm tired of coming home after work,when I had a girlfriend I went back to her house to watch a movie and had some intimacy then I left her house to catch a bus to be home at around 9pm.

Just do what I do.

Look forlorn around the produce section and claim you don't know the difference between two obviously different things. They'll either think you're an idiot and keep going (which let's face it, is their loss) or they'll take pity.. then you strike, pity is your friend!

Dude, the grocery store is a great place to meet women.  I think you're worrying about coming up with a clever line.  Try something simple, like "Hi."  :D  Srsly though, I used to do that all the time when attractive women made eye contact with me in the grocery store back in my bachelor days - 100% of the time I got a "hi" and a nice smile back, and about half the time I'd catch them checking me out as I walked past them in the aisle.  8)

Of course, when *I* talk to girls, I just say, "Hi, I'm me" and then a conversation ensues.  It's foolproof!

Hey Howard I just read this in the How Ya Feelin' Dec Thread


The final day of 2008 and I'm pretty glad this year is over,it had some good times and had some bad times,relationship-wise,it could've been better and hopefully by 09',I make a resolution to get myself a nice woman. :)



Now I'm willing to help you but you have to promise two things....


1) you'll read each and every word we post - not just skim the post

2) you'll actually take our advice....and don't try to wing it.

;D



so what do you say?


oh I just thought of a third rule.....



no whining about Robin or Kamika here cause we know all about it already! This thread is about moving forward...


and my first piece of advice-- no woman wants to get with a man who's pining over a lost or unrequited love!

Perhaps you will bump into her.  The best thing is to maintain an emotional distance.  Don't want to let any old feelings overcome you.  It's pretty hard seeing an ex.  You just want to grab them and shake them while screaming "Do you know the hell you put me through.".

Howard... it doesn't matter if she has someone or not... you guys are not together and you will never have a successful relationship with any woman if you keep dwelling on your ex.  No woman wants to hear you go on and on about the last woman you were with.

I'm sorry Snoz,I can't help it,It's just that this February will be a year that Her and I broke up over the phone(actually February 12,the week of Valentine's Day),I don't know if I want to come to work on Valentine's Day which is a Saturday cause of all those displays of chocolates and flowers I might get depressed. :(

Ok You all can help me feel more enthusiastic. :)

YEah I can see where that would be depressing...just think about all the things that made you mad about her instead of the things you miss and then you won't be so depressed.

or just ask for it off and say you made plans... ask for it early enough and it probably won't be a problem... better to do that than get caught in a lie.
