background info: I am a two months lurker here from the supposedly more closed up society of Singapore(read : conservative country) 6"4, 190 pounds so i'm a 6-8 on different days. Sociable introvert, i can engage but it drains the shit out of me and sometimes i take a couple of days to recover. The advice given were very helpful, i went on a few dates and managed to f-close some hb6-7(arguably?), even though i have only touched briefly on the pointers given, push pull, teasing, kino, shit tests etc. Of course i had many dates that went well(generally sociable) but i gave off too much friendly vibe and just got friendzoned somehow, which i am totally cool with it.

I'll probably be setting some time aside weekly to actually go indepth on the techniques. However i've noticed that from where i'm from, probably due to how conservative it is, f close almost never happens on the first date. granted i'm a newbie and my approaches were all direct approaches.

So as an introvert whose thought process is extremely logical ,it is extremely difficult for me to come out with indirect openers, and i have seen exceptionally good ones from the community. The problem is if i force myself to think about those indirect openers, i actually panic. My normal opener, would be from "you are cute and i had to talk to you" along those lines. If the lady is visibly doing something that is aberrant, reading a book on the go or looking listless, only then will i be able to come out with something reasonably witty.

And i'm no way needy or sexually deprived or anything. I'm at a point where i find that this game or skill is one that should have as a guy/man and i would really like to master this aspect however there are very conflicting views and advice here. So i'd like to ask are

1)how do i move on to the indirect opener(keeping into consideration that i'm an introvert)

2)Some advice said to be yourself and not to deviate too much to the point its fake, however some seem to suggest that you need or have to be a certain personality to appeal, what do you guys think should be the right approach?

3)Some said to treat woman like a plaything, some said to treat woman like they want sex, some said to treat them like sluts etc etc, personally i grew up more in a more conservative household so i respect woman, at the same time the fact that we are only humans and a relatively large majority of us are also out to have fun.

4)On days when you guys are drained from work, workout or reading etc, do you guys still attempt to perk yourself up on the way and try to force yourself to open?

5)how do you answer when your first date asks what are you looking for? if someone is looking for a fwb or something more serious or something wouldnt replying "hangout/friends" be kinda turn off to the ladies?

Appreciate any form of advice or feedback, cheers to this awesome community.
