This last page has made me realize I either had no game, didnt try hard enough, or I found one downside to growing up in small town Alaska.

Same here growing up in Kentucky where there either wasn't crap to do until you were 21, or anybody available had a kid already. Funny how "game" gets easier though. Now that I'm taken It ends up being "wait, you thought I was trying to get in your pants? Oops, uhh no."

It took me well into my 20s to realize there's no such thing as "Game." It's all just "Be comfortable in your own skin." :)

Oh, and second most important thing: Show intent. I thought I was being a gentleman by beating around the bush when it came to telling women I was interested in them. Doesn't get you anywhere.

Assuming your skin is desirable!;). Yeap, I went there.

I wonder what your dating experience is. I say this because I have traveled all over and have dated the whole gamut and sometimes the guys that lays everything up front may be considered too aggressive. The Asian culture loves the indirect stuff.

The only thing I will say is that dating is complex at times and apart from some basic no-nos, everyone figures out what works for them.
 
Wait, Tinder works? I was convinced it was just a ploy for men to subscribe to another dating site. I began dating my wife ten years ago, so much of this discussion is a bit outside my wheelhouse.

I simply mean that if you have a nice conversation with a stranger, don't be afraid to ask for her number, etc. It's okay to show interest in a woman in a constructive manner.

Being the creepy aggressive dude at the bar? No. But, that's not what I said in my post.

And yes, I've done just fine with Asian women, too. But that's a story for another time. @ChasenSFO gets it.

Ha. "All cool with everyone involved". Great in theory. They might tell you it's all cool, they might get along on the surface, but if you're casually dating multiple women who know each other, it can be the best or worst thing ever. I was dating 2 sisters once who were "cool" with it but that didn't stop the abrupt "JANICE ISN'T PICKING UP HER PHONE ARE YOU WITH HER? I HEAR HER VOICE! I'M COMING OVER" phone calls which would be followed by a calm "Oh I just wanted to hang out with you guys too, I don't care what you do with her" conversation. Uh huh. They both did the same thing, even left dates with other guys a few times to swoop in for the Charlie Bravo. Women. It's always a trap.

Ouch. "Sisters" is where you went wrong, there. And "same time." I've dated sisters before, but never at the same time. Sibling rivalry will kill it every time. If you had told me I'd find myself in my current situation even a year or two ago, I'd have called you crazy. It's one of those things that just happened, works well for everyone involved and happened because everyone was just comfortable with each other instead of trying to be something we weren't.

I got dumped a week into my first survey job and thought "what the hell" and downloaded it... Too bad I was assigned to Elko, NV at the time. Needless to say tinder didn't work all that well the short time I had it. A few of the other guys has pretty good luck with it though, especially in the college towns.

It probably works even better if they're not typically used to guys having the balls to be direct with them. I was pretty damn direct with my girlfriend at first and it worked out awesome. Beating around the bush never, ever worked for me.

Yeah don't beat around the bush, but you don't really even have to talk about it. Just hang out, be yourself, have fun, then when you see the chance take what is yours.

A couple of months ago, while enjoying my free happy hour beer in the hotel, a woman sat down on my table and said hi. I of course politely responded hi back like I was expecting her to be there, desperately trying to figure out in my mind whether she was my flight attendant, since I couldn't remember what she looked like. She said I looked bored and wanted to come over and sit with me, where she eventually pointed to a table of two other women and said they were in town for a work convention and was wanting to have some "fun" tonight. I laughed and said "naw, I'm tired and I have to get up early tomorrow". I think she was in shock that I turned down a foursome because I would rather sleep.

Of course, I'm the guy who in high school turned down an invitation to go to homecoming by a chick because I was tired and wanted to take a nap.

I take my sleep seriously.

My CA recently and I have a VERY similar situation at a hotel bar in our LAS overnight hotel, and how do I say it.... they were "working" women. Very professional looking, good makeup/dress, and talked like she was educated (and did seem to be). I politely excused myself from the situation.

Everyone almost always pays. And when you pay upfront, you are paying for her to leave and not necessarily for her service. You don't have to deal with the drama, you never have to worry about someone sharing your bed, conversations about missing the monthly visitor are non-issue and lastly, you are in control. You don't have to play ball if the terms and conditions are not to your liking.
