I see people here talking about what it takes to be successful in dating and most of it reminds me of the exact same stuff I do when I'm trying to make friends - IE be confident, outgoing, have a real connection, be genuine, etc... That's all stuff I'm very good at


I'm just not very good at all at flirting I suppose...I feel like I will come across as a perv if I show that I'm really interested. Would I be much better off just being myself and focusing on making women feel comfortable around me? IE behave the same way as I do when I'm making friends except that I ask them out at the end

progress.....

My major relationships were born out of close friendships... not from a dating pool.

Dating is exactly the same thing as making friends...except that somewhere sooner rather than later, she's either going to try to get physical with you or expect you to try to get physical with her. Drag it out too long or simply miss the opportunity, and you're basically going to be labeled as a friend for good as opposed to continuing to date for a while longer, or reaching the point of becoming "boyfriend" material to her.

...this is why I like dancing, it makes a first kiss or just being comfortable with touching each other very simple and pressure free for everybody involved. There's no "I wonder why he's not" moments in this case for you to mess up.

Always leave them guessing.

He touched my elbow.
He pulled out my chair.
He commented on my outfit.

Yeah, and not, "DAMMM U LOOK HOT IN THAT DRESS!!!"

I wish I could get dates as easily as I make friends.

Dating has some added interactions and contacts and leads to something committed or the case
Making friends well they are almost the same with dating with less of the latter
