Dating tip.

I am a man of very few words. So, let's get right into this.
The second worst possible outcome of a date is you shake hands and become good friends. .. especially if you both were looking for something deeper.

Look (especially you shy guys), dating is like a full body contact sport. In a body contact sport, there are two messages given and two messages received on every hit. Same is true with dating.

Yelling and trashmouthing each other over the line of scrimmage means nothing. It's just babble.

Sitting beside each other aftraid to make a move for fear (of what) and just talking and yacking and laughing means nothing. It makes it next to impossible later on to DO something. You've stalemated each other making action awkward. So, you miss a great opportunity and each of you moves on dissatisfied. That's sad!

Women always measure. And, touch is one of their greatest strengths for determining the depth of attention, attractiveness, of passion, and a bunch more. It's their safety net.

Guys ... well, it's more like a grope (unfortunately).
On the other hand, sometimes women measure the kind of passion they want at any given moment from a casual grope and often the full treatment. It all depends on circumstances. And, guys are almost never made fully of what they are.

So, if you are uncertain, a gentle caress ideally on a dance floor and a gentle kiss will tell you all you need to know and, if she's willing, she'll guide you the rest of the way. But, the guy still has to lead.

As you can see, it is not a terrifying experience. But, it is a necessary one or you will end up in the friendship zone... forever! Yuck!!
