I don't understand if the issue is my approach or not. I never had a hookup in my life before, and all the women i hit on become makes it apparent that they're interested in something long term.

I'm not against a long term relationship, but i hardly ever encounter a woman i would be interested in something long term. Rest are women i hit on for fun. These are women who admittedly have done hookups, some very recently.

I'm now friends with a girl that i was hoping to turn into a fwb but i fear she's falling for me.

I'm not a pump and dump guy, i would feel guilty lying to and breaking hearts of women. But is it the actual way?

For context, i'm 29, 5'9, in shape but not jacked, not really stylish or anything like that, and women i talk with range from 20 y.o. to 35 y.o.
