Don’t think I have that “it” factor to properly seduce women. I can open, but it’s the after that sucks where it just becomes platonic conversation. I hate that and that’s what scares me from approaching.

I’m naturally quiet so I don’t talk unless being asked something directly which makes conversations hard. I mostly listen and ask questions and tease where I can, but doesn’t lead anywhere romantically/escalate. Maybe I smile and laugh too much and come of friendly, maybe I’m not asking the right questions, or a multitude of other things. Mostly writing this because of two recent situations during my travel where I meet a girl, talk seems to be going well and just ends. One of the girls ended up hooking up with another guy from a different hostel. I met the dude and if I was swinging for that team, I would have to.

Things I do think I do right is being calm, not being perturbed when things get awkward, make decent eye contact, not afraid to touch appropriate (not necessarily kino). I probably just need to go out more and talk to more girls.
