Sandra was way hotter anyway.

[@gregjones9901]

Haha this was the main thing that I took from this video. She would have been my first pick.

[@jonathang.2082]

Yup

[@efisgpr]

Coy Abercrombie Nah, she was hot. The other one was *not*.

[@vasthepirate5673]

came to the comments to say that exact thing, saw this was already a comment, thumbed up!

[@psedach]

Maybe the other takeaway is practicing your lines on the poorer prospects so ya don't get nervous!

[@OutrageIsNow]

The poor guy with the wedding ring can't get a date...

[@Mangomx]

hahaha i just noticed that.

+JosephGallagher Agreed. Sandra is cute.

[@TheDankCat127]

[@Yusuf1187]

Darlene was moderately attractive. Sandra has creepy extremely thin lips, low eyebrows, and chipmunk teeth. Wtf are people seeing in her?

[@tuerkefechi]

The Brad Pitt Rule? I thought it was something about establishing a secret Fight Club and fighting Zombies ;-)

[@chandangarg6730]

[@zackmcclean7741]

That Sandra sure is a swell gal.

Last month I asked a woman out 3 times, because I figured she was just hesitant and shy. Then she updated her facebook relationship status a few weeks later. I'm such a cabbage-head.

[@BloodShutEyes1]

Fadaourl It takes a man to admit it.

[@Kingiron88]

Thailand is the best option here. You will never run out of opportunities

[@immortalXMONsta]

Youre a pretty cool cabbage head but something similar like this happened to me as well and i was head over heels for her always asking her out and shit because she was a shy and introverted person but she was just plain uninterested in me lmao i thought she liked me though

+Kaito Michishige I feel the same way

[@tskwared667]

If they want to see you, they will make time.

[@meNtor890]

tskwared667 What do I do if I feel that she would like me if only I got to show off on a date - but she's hesitant and doesn't make time. As in she doesn't know any better. I feel like I should pursue, but with this brad pitt idea I also feel I shouldn't.

[@UhnTahoex]

meNtor890 Whenever you ask yourself a maybe question like that she is not into you. No if and or but. You will know if she likes you. If your guessing forget that bitch and move on her lost.

[@tojiroh]

"Oh Bill, movies on a first date? Wrong move, boy-o." Take her eating somewhere instead, you wanna talk, not sit side by side without speakng for two hours... :-P

[@ethankriegel5957]

tojiroh I wouldn't do a movie for the first date except if the date was initiated because of shared interest in a specific movie. Then after the movie a meal can be shared and conversation can be had.

[@Digital_Dude2000]

[@joachimehrler6199]

+tojiroh It's bad manners to talk when sitting at the table. Take her for a walk in the park instead.

[@tojiroh]

"It's bad manners to talk when stuffing your mouth at the table." FTFY Meals are one of the best ways to socialize, both with dates and friends. Unless you prefer to be the guy that sits down, lays his face to munch on the plate, and gets up without a word. You know, *that* guy.

[@EdoKwin]

"I think I might have...a boyfriend." Priceless.

[@SKBottom]

Insane to get involved with a woman at work anyway. I've never wanted HR to be involved in my breakup.

[@Byzaxreviews]

Hahaha, This guy just read my mind 😂😂😂

[@hybby]

10000%. Even in a work environment where everyone is self-employed... I've never felt it to be a good idea to get involved with a woman i work with. So many ways that could go totally wrong.

[@Saber23]

Why would you break up? Are you that insecure?

[@SKBottom]

@@Saber23 Wow. Reading comprehension really isn't your thing. You're not only a troll, you're an unintelligent troll. Since you're probably also about 14 years old, let me spell it out to you as simply as I can. 99.9% of all relationships break up. Otherwise, you would marry the first person you dated. Even that isn't a guarantee, since 2/3 of marriages eventually end. Therefore, anyone you date at work you are probably going to break up with them, or they with you, eventually. When that happens, I wouldn't want the end of my relationship to become an HR issue, which is a very real possibility if your relationship was with a co-worker. If you can't understand that, you don't need to be on this page where adults are having a discussion. Go download clips of SpongeBob or something.

[@anirudhsilverking5761]

@@SKBottom Why would it become HR issue? Can't they end things secretly?

[@JordanCrowderFilms]

Sorry for the wedding ring mistake, Lacy warned me about it, and then I forgot once we shot it all. I can assure you, Bill is not a player.. desperate? Yes, but not a player.

[@Srd1126]

hey, Bill, the wedding ring only picks up women in person, not on the phone

[@SuperSheepKing]

why does every women so damn sexy in your videos? lol

[@vtecboi18]

SuperSheepKing the last one was amazing

[@alonzoslade2531]

+Ariesticnig It is entertaining how men are expected to determine whether or not women are interested in dating rather than a woman asserting herself and saying no.

[@langolieralphas]

+alonzo slade That's because they are trying not to crush your feelings.

[@dekutja]

+langolier alphas nonsense. you can be clear and polite at the same time

[@nialahmad]

This video is illustrated in such a way that harkens back to a bygone era. An era where asking a woman out was just THAT straight forward, without them getting completely weirded out.

[@gdaymates431]

As a lady who has dated a lot of ladies I can tell you, this is 100 percent the best advice a person could give. If people don't suggest a different time to see you, do not bother. They are not interested. As hard as it is to stop yourself from going crazy with "what if" just don't. Instead just me like "k, well, she/he isn't interested. I won't ask again." and maybe, she/he will actually ask you out or maybe you will never hear from them again BUT at least you can walk away knowing you didn't chase. Also, my advice, never take a rejection personal. It is very rarely personal. It really is a miracle that people fall in love, given how different we all are. It took me a very long time, and a run of really horrible dates to meet my partner but I am so glad I did because all those horrible experiences really showed me what I actually want in a partner. Good luck fellas :)

[@incredibletoms1]

Temps thanks for the advice! And Im happy you found the perfect partner for you! :)

[@eggycat]

Temps I disagree with this, some people are shy and it makes them anxious to go out on date or schedule something with someone when you know very little about each other. People can also be hurt be older relationships and are unwilling to trust new people. Showing persistence communicates a certain seriousness and not just treating it as a fling etc. I don't disagree entirely with your statement, it can happen mine and your way. Sometimes just best to use your intuition.

[@efisgpr]

Temps This is about hetero women. Bye now.

[@incredibletoms1]

Temps , I disagree with neosapiens. Your point is perfectly valid. Cheers

[@hybby]

-_- : " Showing persistence communicates a certain seriousness and not just treating it as a fling etc. " I don't completely agree with this. Persisting shows a lack of respect for their "No". If a 'hurt' person repeatedly is shown that their "No" is respected, and they WON'T be chased, they'll then likely recognize that their ''No" won't get them any dates they desire, and will shift the answer to "Yes". If someone is shy and it makes them anxious to go on a date/schedule something with someone... sometimes they have to get over that and think of ways to make that connection in a place/situation that makes them comfortable. Anxiety is something to work through.

[@COYOT3_7]

BILL HAS A WEDDING RING ON...THAT CABBAGE HEAD.

[@DamnCanucks]

sandra's hotter anyway, no worries buddy

[@fbcpraise]

I asked a good woman out and she said she couldn’t make it. I never would have called her again, but she ended the call by saying “you will call me again. I’m serious, I’m taking revenge if you don’t.” So I did ask her again. Married 35 years last week.

[@yokuri]

Congratulations.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I'm sure her voodoo doll of you had nothing to do with it.

[@saxonjf]

I want more of this style. I love the conversational tone and I love the dresses the girls wear, YOWZA! But under-emphasized is the idea that idea that you actually have to get out there and make the effort. The narrator guy told him to do it, but hitting the idea harder would make the point that the girl saying no isn't the end of the world and moving on isn't hard, either.

[@Saber23]

It isn’t that big of a deal 😂

[@isabellouise8164]

you won't believe how many guys lack that common sense! ;)

[@PriusRaj]

For real man. Heck, we freak out thinking that you think that we think that you're lame when in reality we actually think you're pretty cool and just CAN'T go.

[@PP-yx4rv]

well its kind of understandable that guys think this. Romance, as portrayed in popular culture is all about the guy fighting to win the girl over. If thats your reference, you might think that its just part of a normal romance, she is playing hard to get, to make you go out of your way to get her. Although this might be true for some girls, I would not recommend pursuing them regardless, as that is a huge red flag imo. And thats really the important thing here. imo being "that guy at the office" shouldn't really play any part in your decisions, as you have to risk some to get some.

[@NaturopathicMed]

Holy shit, does the author of this video know me?? I've been using this exact phrase for years! I LOVE IT! SO DAMN TRUE. I ask a girl twice, and if she doesn't suggest a follow up date on the 2nd ask --> Goodbye, your loss.
