I seem to be getting a lot of the "awww that's so sweet, thank you" puppy dog responses. Maybe this is normal since I'm a beginner. I'm working with the theory that you need 3 things: confidence, authenticity and social intelligence. I think I am lacking a bit of confidence but the 2 other things are there. So I get a positive response, but the attraction is not quite there... but I'm open to other theories..

I wonder if that is a common reaction for a lot of guys starting off. What are some tips/advice?

Thanks in advance.
