Well hey you all should also take into consideration that not all guys are good at doing the traditional dating thing. Alot of guys dont even want to do it, but theres definatly alot who just dont know how or just dont like the idea of it and would rather get a girl in their own way.
I think alot of people assume that "oh well he isnt being traditional or doing typical dating stuff so he must not be into/want me." , thats not always true, ALOT of times he does want/ have tons of interest in you and the experts just get it wrong on forums and elsewhere because they forget that not all guys like/know the traditional, expected dating/relationship norms.
