I struggle with treating a woman like a woman, and i often end up as a friend to them. in other words they don't see me as a sexual partner. I feel like the answer here is acting in a masculine way in order to bring out the feminine side of the girl.

How do i come across as the man in the interaction and be dominant?

I also feel really afraid and uncomfortable expressing sexual or romantic desire, like i am asking a huge favour of the other person. How do i get over this?00!
