In my natural game days I'd always encounter a certain point in a relationship (even if not dating) after I can tell she's into me. At this point I always felt strong anxiety and would be real about how I felt with something like "I really enjoy that we get along and vibe, and that we understand each other.. but I'm an incredibly flawed man and I don't want to end up hurting you in any way" And it was honest, not a technique. I felt I couldn't deceive a woman by not mentioning this. And usually it would "work". The thing is, I'm on a pretty spiritual path and honesty and authenticity are 2 of my big pillers especially now. It's been a long time since I've used something like this.

Would it be accurate to say that this is a good "technique", and would it also be accurate to assume that this would only "work" after getting atleast a certain level of attraction or closeness?

I want to be authentic but this world is super fake. The longer I follow my spiritual path the easier it is to spot, plain as day. I wish there were no need for techniques. Life is just experiences, we're all just people. We're all the same, just different genes, experiences, beliefs, perceptions, based on different experiences of life.

Didn't mean to get spiritual there.. actually, I did. It's needed for you to understand the reasons why I'm asking this question. I want a genuine authentic connection with someone. Part of that is learning how to frame some things. Wish it wasn't so, but it is and I probably need some work on my framing as well.
