Hey! So I'm at a master's program and I'm quite at a loss here regarding dating - I ask women out to do things - meet in my room for tea or wine or even a meal, meet up in the city for a day out, go to museums, etc. and I go with them and we have a really great time - but it feels like two friends hanging out. Nothing really comes out of these dates in a romantic scenario.

One girl I went out with her to the city, we had a great time - and then another time she asked to come to my room and we drank tea - but when I made plans to watch a movie with her she asked if we could call other friends. I was like "okay!" but of course I was disappointed (the movie was great though and I appreciated it as a friend hangout). This sort of thing has happened multiple times with different people.

I make eye contact with everyone I see, I smile at everyone and get smiled back, pretty much everyone on campus in my program knows me and we say hi or chat when we run into each other - but I'm at a loss when it comes to dating. I don't find my vibe in alcohol fueled loud parties either.

What do I do?
