It depends on what your idea of respect is. According to the dictionary respect is to admire someone as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
I don't feel like anyone should respect me simply based upon my gender but how I behave as a person. Being afraid to approach women because you 'respect them too much' is a cop out. That isn't respect. It's fear. We're just people.10|10|0

Sadly, yes. Why? Because men nowadays respect women to the point that they're afraid of approaching as well, letting their intentions be known. "Why do girls go for bad guys?" Because they show assertiveness and confidence; the one thing respectful nice guys often lack.

Get your life in order before entering/committing to someone else's. That way you will be in a stable position to confidently show them why they should pick you. Unfortunately, just holding the door for them, and comforting them when they're down, isn't enough. If your intentions have been that of a friend from the start, that is probably how they'll see you (in most cases).
Depending on what your goal is, my recommendations could change. If you jusr want a hookup/temporary girlfriend/fbw, it could be enough to be assertive and upfront, without being rude of course..
If on the other hand you want a long term relationship; That's a more tricky one.. way trickier, because love develops over time, but you still need to be clear with your intentions, or you'll probably again end in the friendzone. So be assertive, but don't rush the bases, be there for her and let her open up to you.
Then what is your advice maybe for me
