....

I also think men mistakenly think that 'persistence' is a positive thing and will eventually win a woman over. Of course this only happens in Rom-Com movies where the heroine gets fucked over by an asshole and then suddenly realizes that the real 'man of her dreams' is the guy-friend that's always been there for her and loves her just as she is... blah blah blah. This hollywood dream has fuelled many misguided fantasies.

Ok. End of rant.

While I generally agree with your postings, Doll, I feel the need to interject a little something involving this rant.

You're correct that men should learn to take a hint, I've recently posted my own turning point in another similar thread. However, I take umbrage at the quote above. I am living proof that the girl-leaves-asshole, friend-consoles-girl, girl-falls-in-love-with-friend, friend-loved-girl-all-along thing isn't 100% bullshit. I've been happily with the same woman for over 15 years, and I've loved her longer than that. I'm not leaving her and she doesn't appear interested in leaving me.

And it was almost like a movie (except the part where the guy had a bazillion dollars and takes the girl shopping all over Beverly Hills). Oh, wait, wrong movie.

Realistically the scenario in your quote IS probably better than 99% fantasy and belongs mostly in John Hughes films, but I'm here to say my fantasy came true and there's a non-zero chance that this can actually happen. Occasionally the Good Guy wins.

Haha Dancing just ask Purr persistence pays off!!! I think she turned me down a half dozen times before she finally agreed to go out with me!!! That's turned into a six year relationship and we're married!!! Don't give up too easy guys lol if she calls the cops on you though, then it may be over!!!
