Jayer's "Social Experiment 3" thread has sort of lead me to a bit of a revelation.
Treat girls like they're your friend.
I'm sure this has been said at one point, but I just wanted to say it again and add my own thoughts to the subject.
So many times I've noticed that when I've met a new girl, I am so concerned with not being in the dreaded friends zone that I am overly nervous and not myself. I mean it's great to know what you want, and that you don't desire to be "just friends" but sometimes that urge can go too far. I feel you can accomplish your goals much better by treating the girl like a friend, instead of being obsessed with making her your GF.
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't flirt with the girl, use kino and all that, that is a must! But what I AM saying is you shouldn't put too much pressure in forcing something with a girl. Just be natural, treat her like a friend of yours. Playful flirting here and there never hurts...but make sure not to stress too much about making her 'yours'.
I find that when I have this mindset I tend not to care whether or not the girl is interested in me or not, the girl ends up liking me more! When I am pushing for get togethers, being needy, wanting the girl to be my date etc. it just ends up pushing them away. Again, it's important to show your attraction and not get stuck in the friends zone, but you can accomplish that along with being her friend at the same time.
