hotburninluv: Men, stop falling into the pattern of settling for "some form of a date," like most men do, when you don't ask a woman, directly, out on a date. This results being Not an actual boy-likes-girl evening, but with YOU hoping by just hanging around her life long enough, you'll graduate to boyfriend. Instead of dates with her, where you have schemes to keep her on the hook.
Sure, maybe she will refer to hanging around and doing things for her "sweet". It's wonderful, doing things for her, but it doesn't exactly set you up to get anything from her in the relationship any better.
Generally, when a man is too wimpy to ask a woman directly out for a date, because of the fear she will reject him, he will feels like too big of a loser. Women can sense this, and drop-kick him into the friend zone fast, when he would otherwise might've had a chance.
In the future, if you're at ALL interested in a woman, tell her in not so many words. Ask her out! Don't ask how you can help her out. Instead of giving in to your fear of rejection, seek rejection!
Why? Because, Not onlywill this keep you from wasting time, the longer you wait to ask a woman out on a date, the less likely she will go out with you. Please, Men and Women feel free to comment!
So how lucky have YOU been adopting this strategy? You are on a dating site after all.
