I really don't think this works. There has been a lot on here lately about friends & friendzones but its true. First impressions do (normally count); that's generally where your initial attraction spikes from. There's usually that spark when you first meet someone - I definitely agree you only have a limited window......leave it too long and the girl can think (A)Why's he not asking me out, is he not interested? (B) I guess he's not interested if he's not asking me out, oh well....... (C) I know he likes me, this pussying around is getting boring....and more often than not you get labelled a 'friend' in her head which is almost impossible to come back from. Strike whilst the iron is hot & ask them out or make a move to start with.
Of course good friends can develop feelings for each other over time and things can kick off - but I think its quite rare. When your both 100% friends its unlikely your going to have much sexual chemistry, or be in a position where you end up making out, and asking them out will just become plain awkward.
You're more likely to get a date just asking them out early on. Strangely, the best long term relationships I've seen came from friends though. Still, relying on something starting out of friendship is a long shot as most relationships don't start that way.
I asked a woman out yesterday , met her for only the second time in a week , she grooms dogs and I had my dog in to get his nails cut
she said no but to be fair , she wasn't cruel about it , just said she was too busy , for all I know she has a husband ( no ring though )
The only way friends first can work, is if you are friends first.. not just a little p*ssy guy who is too afraid to ask out "the girl of his dreams".
Bunch of wimps.
I absolutely agree. What he try to do is avoid ***** shield. Be the man and accept yours destiny. Already happened to you misery with that approach and you need more.
In my experience, platonic friendships that lead to relationships usually only happen when the woman is already in a different relationship. Then if that relationship breaks down, the friended man is in poll-position to be next in line.
It may be harsh, but he is right, and you know it. A guy who has sexual attraction for a woman and wants to date her, but is not direct or assertive enough to make his intentions known from the get go, but instead tries to backdoor via fake friendship, does it because he doesnt have any balls. Last time i checked, women in general like men with balls. The only reason a man should befriend a woman, is if all he is looking for is friendship with her. If he wants more, he has the duty to make it clear from the first apporach on. Just be a genuine man, know what you want, know how to communicate what you want and know how to get it, and youll never have shortage of prospects to date. I dont care if youre over the hill, short, bold, unemployed and live in your parents basement, the above still applies.
