The girl is actually pretty good for D.C.

Her:

Quote:

I got there about five minutes late, and he was already at the bar. So I went up, and [the staff] introduced us. He was really cute. I liked his hair. He had a nice jacket on, sweater over his shoulders — I was into it.

Him:

Quote:

She was beautiful! She feels that I’m a liar to say this compliment for her. We started speaking about lives in general. It was very fine.

She is in to him, they venue change and he gets the kiss:

Quote:

[It was] just a little flirtatious at times. We were at the restaurant awhile. The waitress came over and made sure that we met our quota of photos. She let us know we had some money [from Date Lab] left over if we wanted another round, and we thought, Why not? We kind of shut the place down. Then you’re already in Adams Morgan; you might as well go out.....After, we go to Jack Rose on 18th Street. We took another two cocktails....There was a tipsy bar kiss. You can only drink so many whiskey and gingers before something’s going to happen.

But doesn't go for the same night bang and appears to get friend zoned....welcome to America, Italian Guy.

Quote:

[We left] at 12:50, more or less. [We exchanged] phone numbers, Facebook. Maybe on the weekend we go to Halloween party or on the Sunday the match of soccer.....Fabio played with Sarah’s soccer team that weekend and joined them for drinks afterward. She’s been out of town on the weekends since then, but Fabio’s still meeting up with her team on Sundays. “Everyone likes having him around,” Sarah says. “I don’t know if we’ll date, but I definitely love having him as a new friend!”

welcome to america bitch

[Aliblahba]

He looks more like a female than she does.

[Mentavious]

Wtf is a TV production assistant?

So who's going to the one to find more pics of the girl? Her face is average but I can't see the rest.

Pic from Linkedin profile.



Seems to have big tits.

Otherwise meh.

[Brosemite]

Funny how these Italian guys are persistent finishers (or try to be) in Europe, but my guess is that they attempt to come off as "less needy" when in the US. All the Italian dudes I've met have for some reason pedestalized the US, but the lesson learned is to not take that foot off the pedal when it comes to the chicks...but rather accelerate hardcore.

For his sake, I'm hoping there are some cute bangable chicks on the soccer team he could redeem himself with.

Hmm..she found him attractive, funny, she respected him (that whole "doing the adventure of moving to another country" thing), he was flirtatious, they had a long night with multiple venues...I'm not sure where he slipped up. Was he just not aggressive enough?

[Pacesetter20]

Looks like she might be hiding a few pounds in her stomach, but she is still D.C. cute in my book.

Thats not DC cute. Busted grill

She replies to emails and makes restaurant reservation for the crew.

This must be near impossible to succeed at. A woman knowing the dats is going to be in the WaPo has too much of an incentive of an ego boost by publicly rejecting the guy.

That might be part of it, but I think we would have to see a video of how this guy really interacted with her to get the complete picture. My guess is he was less than stellar in one or more ways.

[Aliblahba]

Italian dudes are on a whole other level of thirst. He threw out his cards too quick. Never kiss on the first date, and is now beta orbiting.

[Pyre]

very cute chick!

looks like fun too

def fuck

[phoenix101]

He's probably letdown because of all the stories from Italian friends and acquaintances returning from America bullshitting about easy flags and women who were better looking and friendlier than their local Italian women.

She's no dime, but I'd disagree with the sentiment that she's not cute, and has a busted grill. I'd happily fuck her, I think it's funny how dudes on RVF try to act like all they fuck are Ukrainian runway models. I'd love to see pics of the girls you fuck, if this chick isn't good enough for your boner.

Opening sentence of the article: "Italian Fabio says he’s a “born romantic” who has “suffered a lot in love...”

With this narrative, he's going to strike out in whichever country he's in. Unless you're Michael Buble or Justin Timberlake, the woe-is-me act is the kiss of death -- unless you play it for laughs which he doesn't seem to be doing.

Also women see the word "romantic" as "loser." They won't tell you that, of course. But all evidence point to it.

Guys need to learn the power of advertising. One of the reasons we think things are great is because of hype, not necessarily the product itself. If you advertise yourself as a loser in love, women will see that.

There is a fake reggae song off a New Kids on the Block album. I sometimes play it to people and tell them it's a cut by a cool '90s reggae band. They love it. Then I tell them it's New Kids. Suddenly it's the worst song ever and phony to boot. Image and impressions matter.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

In a land where men absolutely have to push for the bang on the first date or they'll get friendzoned, women dare to criticize men for being "commitment-phobes". Oh, the irony.

I remember that in my Beta days it took me quite a bit of willpower to adjust to the idea that the girl would instantly friendzone me if I didn't kiss her on the first date. This is a whole another level of lunacy. Not that I can't adjust, but it's still absurd.

[Snowflake]

he looks like a special needs kid in the first pic. As to her, I'd hit it

I'd hit it, no question.

The guy hasn't adapted to his environment yet, saying he's a romantic is a death sentence. It's unfortunate that in today's world traditional guys finish last.

I know guys plenty of guys with 'old school' thinking. I tell them if they treat the girls like sluts they'd get laid more, they claim I'm wrong. Then in the next sentence they tell me they haven't been laid in forever and follow it up with stuff like 'I can't find a girl with morals.' etc. etc. This one guy claimed he found a 'good girl' on Christian Mingle and he was so happy, then when I saw a picture she looked like an NFL defensive lineman.

It's a simple choice adapt or die. I made that choice years ago to change my behavior and here I am, hopefully this guy and others like him will as well.

When I finally accepted that reality isn't what I'd hoped, wished, or was taught but that it simply was, it seemed as if my mind became much stronger.

I'm not clear what he did wrong. He was fun, flirtatious... Its seems like he just didn't escalate fast enough.

Is it possible she's making the friendzone comment because this is a public interview and she doesn't want to seem like a slut?

I doubt it. He's probably used to drunken American girls on vacation, so he figured why keep waiting for them to happen along and just go to the source. Wrong choice and hasn't adapted his game yet to weed out the stuff (i.e. saying he's a hopeless romantic, etc) that only works on drunk, vacation American girl.
