You know you've made it when a woman calls you a jerk. First thing you are clearly out of is her "friend" column. If you are in the friend column you have no chance with her. But if you are out of there; then you stand a chance to get with her.
Now the best way to know this clearly is to make sure she calls you a jerk while she's laughing. If you never hear the word "jerk" that means she says it to her friends about you and that's not good (that means you are a little to harsh, an asshole if you will). All my women friends call me a jerk (including my wife) or they'll say something like "you're so mean."
Of course I'm mean, it's the only way to stay out of your friends list. You have to get them to be nice about it, like "you're such a jerk, why would you say that to me," all while they are enjoying your humor thinking to themselves, I can't believe he said that. He had to "balls" to say that, say it cool, and confident. I might light him, in fact I DO (at the altar).
If you're not hearing "you jerk," careful you may be in the dreaded friends column. And we know what that's like. Here her complain to you about guys like me...haha.
