A bit of a success story for me. I've been reading here a lot the past 6 months and I find it very helpful. I keep getting stuck in these inaction cycles with potential women that felt like it might go somewhere, but never did.

I'd been 'talking to' 4 women this year. I've known them for 6 - 12 months. I was not sleeping with them. I was unsatisfied with this but felt I had been Friendzoned. The last time all of them contacted me I used the same line, that I was after someone I could hang out with, so we should go out and get a drink this weekend. Three weaselled out but one actually came out with me, we hooked up but didn't have sex. I'm going to arrange something for this weekend with her and try and invite her back to my place.

With the others, and women in general, if they try and contact me for more chatter or banter, do I just repeat the same line?

I like this feeling as its just being honest too, I'm not misleading them, I'm just being direct with what I want.
