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.

Nah, you'll just end up in the friend zone. If you like a chick, don't wait just, ask her out.

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 )

TO the OP: No, don't waste your time trying to be friends. Ask them out, if you get shot down, try someone else.

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.

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.
