Friends zone and not understanding women

Post Reply New Topic

I would say: don't up and plant a kiss on a woman right away.

Ask her if she wouldn't mind you kissing her hand. Kissing one's hand is not as intimate as kissing one's face.

And it's gallant, too. Like what men used to do in the Golden Age of Chivalry.

Feedback from friends is invaluable. I'd asked a married female friend of mine to help me compose a personal ad. My mate liked it and responded; we've been together seven years now. Later, when she saw my first draft, she stated unequivocally that she would have never responded to the ad copy I'd written alone (Thank you, thank you, thank you Jerri from the bottom of my heart, wherever you are! ).
My mate also says that I suck at dating; I am generally oblivious to non-verbal cues and body language. Knowing that I don't read minds, if she wants something, including physical intimacy or sex, she explicitly asks for it. Knowing that I don't read minds, we frequently check each other; "how are you?"; "How are we?" Talking; it's such an innovative and wonderful adaptation, for the life of me I don't understand why more people don't adopt it.
