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!
Men who pretend they want to be "just friends" are deluding themselves because most of the time, they know the girl would tell them to get lost if they said what they really wanted. Then, there are the guys who go one step further by telling the girl lies or by being manipulative to get the girl to hang out with them. If you have to lie or manipulate someone to get them to speak to you, they are obviously not interested.

So how lucky have YOU been adopting this strategy? You are on a dating site after all.

sanfrancali: You need to play more hard to get with this guy, he is treating you like a backup until he can find something better, you need to be too busy to see him, for example if he wants to take you to dinner say no but you could meet for a quick coffee, be more mysterious.
Good advice, Thanks!! And you totally figured him out. He does treat me like a backup. This guy has dropped me like a cold fish to go out with others before. I'm just not good at playing games...
I would much rather know what he wants rather than try to force it out of him. If I am interested I don't keep it a secret I make sure he knows why not do the same?
