How to stop friendzoning myself?

[Anonymous]

I have a bad trend not to push things sexually/physically to let the girl I’m interested. This was something that has come up in my dating streak. More accurately was told I’m not trying hard enough. I have this fear of not reading the signals properly and getting myself into trouble so I just left it alone. Then again it was brought to my attention this might be my issue. On top of not telling them I want a relationship. I would ask them out talk to them, try to find out about them and that’s pretty much the jist of my dates and calls. I’m looking for advice how to get over this mental block and stop friendzoning myself.

You’re playing it too safe, which feels respectful to you but reads as no romantic intent to her. Start showing interest clearly: light teasing, eye contact, a compliment, and small physical steps (touch her arm, hug hello/goodbye, sit closer), then if the vibe is good, go for a kiss at the end of the date instead of waiting forever. Also be direct about intent early (“I’m dating to find something real”), because attraction needs clarity + escalation not just conversation.

don’t ever be the one to suggest a relationship that’s the girls job. It should be a mystery to her if u actually like her or not. Maybe you’re not coming off as confident if your not being forward with your intentions? I don't know id have to see u in action to give u solid advice

get out there and talk to girls on the till in shops and flirt with them all the more you do it the easier it becomes then you will find them wanting to be with you.
