Were going to take a look at some of the things that I have done that made me look like a fool around women. You can learn from my mistakes by avoiding all of these.

Pickup Lines

I used to always think that you were suppose to use a pickup line to meet women. I think that most of us guys do. The problem is that they rarely ever work. The times that they do work is usually on women who don't get hit on very much. Its more effective to have a plan to engage her with interesting conversation.

Buying Her Drinks

I've had a few bad experiences with buying women drinks. Here is an example of what I mean.

Once I started buying a woman drinks she would allow me to keep buying her drinks until she was drunk. By the time she was done drinking she was a mess and I was poor from buying her drinks. This will happen over and over again if you allow it to. Don't buy her drinks or at least get her to buy you some too.

Not Escalating

If you want to be more then just friends then you have to take charge. Don't expect a woman to just start moving things forward. In most cases she will just leave you behind as a friend instead. If she starts to show any signs of wanting you to progress things further then you need to escalate. She will simply assume that are not interested in anything more then friendship if you don't move things forward.

Staring Instead Of Approaching

Most guys rather look at a woman then approach that woman. They think "look but don't touch". That may be true for a married man, but not for us single guys. A woman is much more likely to think your a fool if you stare for long periods of time, then she would if you started a conversation with her.

Getting Drunk

Its hard not to make a fool of yourself around women when you are drunk. Allot of guys like to use alcohol as an excuse for their idiotic behavior. Some men use it to become more brave and actually approach a woman. But an idiot is still an idiot. In this case you are the worse kind of idiot. You are a drunk one.

Conclusion

The problem with most of these mistakes is that they make you look insecure. Learn to think a little bit like a woman. "A man who has to be drunk to talk to women must not be able to carry a conversation without being drunk." "A man who is afraid to take the lead wont be able to meet my needs." For a woman those are the sorts of things that go through her mind. Those are scary thoughts for her.
