How to take proper initiative when a girl likes you?

Asked by cornbird (1750points) January 1st, 2010

In the past some girls have liked me and I have lost their interest by not taking up the inititive with them. For instance I might say something wrong, or I may not show them the proper body signals that they want. Can someone give me some tips on picking up the inititive.

^ i hate that kind of advice, personally.

search google, youtube or your favorite book store for material on picking up girls, getting to know people, how to small talk, how to be a leader, how to influence people, how to be persuasive, and how to make friends.

just sounds like bad communication here, if either party likes each other and feels sure of it, say so!

@trailsillustrated you’re still yourself even after you do some research. ;)

Smile at her. Go out of your way to walk with her. Ask her questions about her interests. Listen.

1. Just do it.
2. Dont be afraid to touch them lightly (shoulders etc). It sets a good tone, and gives you confidence when you notice them reacting.
3. Just do it.
4. Be a man. Do it.
5. Just – do – it.

Catch my drift? I think the mistake i used to do was overthinking it. Don’t think too much about it, if you think it’s time, dont let your questioning mind get a foot in the door, and just do it. If you try to soon – no harm is done and she will let you know either she’s not interested or not ready – no problem, (back off, don’t be an asshole, and dont take it like an asshole, just keep conversation going like nothing happened).
Now she knows you are interested too and it’s not a big deal if she said no, she knows what you want and you’ve proven you can take the initiative – nothing to be ashamed of (wow, big surprise, you are interested in girls. I don’t know why i used to be so scared of showing girls that i liked girls – it used to be a big blocker for me, i dont know if it’s a problem for you too).

If you try too late – she will already have written you off. You see there is a time window. If you try too early, it’s no biggie, but if you try too late – the door is closed forever.
