FIRST, THE BAD:
- Telling her how you feel. Boring... zzzzzzzz.
- Her saying "I'm not ready for a relationship" means "I'm not interested in you... yet." She likely has her eyes on someone else anyways. And he's not giving her the "I like you speech."
- Text'ing her things like "You're beautiful." That's like saying, "Here's a compliment, now please like me!"
THE GOOD:
- Touching her. Grabbing her hands from time to time. This is part of escalation.
- She texts you randomly - means she's being open and friendly.
- She's not being awkward. More signs she's open.
NEXT STEPS:
Telling her how you feel, and text'ing her compliments are all huge mistakes that every other guy is also making, so don't feel bad. But learn to NEVER do it again. EVER. Text her ONCE for every THREE texts she sends you.
Girls don't want to logically know how you feel about them, UNTIL LONG AFTER you're already dating. NOT BEFORE!
But everything else you're doing is good. Giving her space? Good. Holding her hands. Good.
Now you need to build tension (ATTRACTION) and you need to ESCALATE.
ATTRACTION:
Flirting/teasing/sexual tension.
Teasing her about her ridiculously huge purse, but then complimenting her taste in shoes.
Teasing her about lipstick on her teeth, but them offering to help her with your tongue.
Teasing her for being so short, but then pulling her in for a hug.
Teasing her about being your secret lover, but complaining that she's got no game in bed.
Teasing her about having no boyfriend, but then telling her you'll take her out for an ice creme to make her feel better.
ESCALATION:
Take action. More touch. More "date" like time together.
Convince her to join you for dessert at that cool new shop downtown.
Convince her to join you for movie night at your place Sunday night, after Chinese food and some wine.
By this point she should be pretty comfortable with your attention and affection, and should be returning it openly. If she's not teasing you back, and she's not hitting your arm every time you make a bad joke, then she's not there yet.
But if she's laughing, if she's giving you compliments, and she's willing to hug you, hold your hand, or walk arm in arm, then it's time to kiss her. Mid date.
The guys who end up in the "friend's zone" are the guys who don't escalate.
Learn to keep pushing things forward, endlessly, until she's pregnant and you're married.
