I know, it does sound weird. But I don't like to message people on facebook, my first option is to meet her directly, I hoped for a month to see her again on the bus, but she never showed up <.<
And she accepted my friend request like 2 weeks later, so she probably doesn't use fb that much.
I will probably ask to our mutual friend to arrange something...
Do not message her. You must meet her first. In case your friend can't arrange something, be direct and show interest when you see her. Stop beating around the bush. There's nothing fantastical about liking someone; just directly imply it by inviting her for coffee.
This seem to be a common thread here as you'll see...
As you've suggested, you seem to be smart, in good shape, and with a six figures salary that supports a lifestyle of interests and hobbies. Oh my. No mention about looks, but the following analysis will focus on the following points assuming you're, ahem, reasonable in the looks department.
I made a conscious effort this year to be more sociable and try to go on at least one date. No such luck. I had a lot of good times though so I can't say it was a total loss. However as I look back on the past year, it got extremely frustrating at times.
Being sociable is not what determines your success in the dating game. Seduction does. Being sociable is all about making people love themselves so they make like you for it. Seduction, in the other hand, is loving yourself enough that'd you'd want others to join in, and be surprised--and yet unmoved--when it doesn't happen. You have not employed these qualities yet.
I think the biggest issue is that I have no idea how to pursue any girl sexually. I just don't understand it. I feel I need to note that I get along well with women in the workplace. As a manager, there are four women who report to me and we get along well. My boss is also a woman and again, we get along great. I don't think it is a matter of being afraid of women at all or else I'd be stumbling around here as well.
Now that's the elephant in the room. In a effort to keep this short (
yeah, right), you must first understand what women want. Most important one is confidence. Confidence in your own value.
I don't think you believe in your own value. Do you know what made the greats great? It wasn't because the were inherently humble about their greatness. Oh, they knew it alright. They just knew what to do with the information. Does Mike Tyson need to yell he will unhinge your jaw you if you mess with him? Or does he already know and lets his actions speak for himself? When your actions speaks louder than your words, especially if those words are none, then you're considered humble. But you never not know, do you? Because not knowing is impossible.
So, with that in mind, when you approach a girl, you
need to know your value. (And yes, you approach a girl with a romantic intent, you do not beat around the bush by befriending her). So you are smart, interesting, financially stable and (ok?) looking. Why should a girl date you? For your money? Not necessarily. Girls should date you because you inherently know your own value; whether that value is made by your looks, your assets, or your social confidence is irrelevant.
There's a reason why girls dislike guys that boast about their money, and yet like (or would appreciate) a guy that is indeed financially stable. It's not about the information, but how its presented.
On the flip side, there's a reason women are intrinsically attracted to narcissistic men. It's almost toxic: "Well he's so assured of himself,
there must be a reason." In their road to uncovering this reason (through dating) they find out they were mostly right, and then they decide to stick with you (especially of you don't make a big deal of it all).
I can give you practical examples of this at work, but it will do no good if you don't believe it yourself.
You are afraid of rejection. You are afraid to show romantic interests. You've been sociable with women, but you've yet to seduce one. You probably believe in the friend-turned-girlfriend fantasy. Am I close?
Getting girls is actually not hard at all. The reason it is hard is because our ego is at risk. The idea is to fortify your ego through your accomplishments so that clear romantic approaches can be made. The whole point of my post is that, according your posts, you've
reached your accomplishments, but you're still afraid to be direct about what you want. And, as natural selection would have it, that's precisely what women don't find particularly attractive.
To continue from the last paragraph, I just don't understand the social cues for this kind of thing. How do I know if a woman is just being friendly? I don't want to be one of those guys who interprets any type of friendliness as sexual interest. I understand the concept of just trying anyway, even if you get shot down but it seems to me that I should have some base understanding or else I won't have any luck at all, which is the situation I'm in now.
Sure, there are body language cues, but it's all a waste of your time. Are you really going to be looking for every girl that is playing with her hair, whose pupils are dilated, whose feet are pointed towards you, etc.? Every woman you interact with would rather you be in the moment, not doing mental calculation while trying to be witty.
You are going to be rejected. You cannot avoid this. You must know your value and understand half of the population's genetic code tells them to hide their interest in front of the guy they like so that, indeed, he makes the first move. So, always err on the side of too much confidence.
(I'm just giving you a hard time)
Also, don'T forget she probably doesn't know how you look like, and who you are, which might probably be a reason for her to never text back.
