I'm not nervous or anything, but I find romantic escalation to be really hard. Sexual escalation comes way more easily.

Playing it naturally I ended up with hookups, casual relationships... Rarely a proper date. Even if I know and like the girl, the message never reaches her that way.
Basically, I come off like a fuckboy. I get laid but I'm never the boyfriend.

People say it's a numbers game but fuck man I just hate having my heart broken so often.
I LIKE these girls, I'm into them, but then I'm "not boyfriend material" and have to pick up my pieces and try to move on.

just right before having sex with them stop it
and say you have to get up early in the morning
and say some bullshit like
we are moving way too fast don't you think?
relationships that start fast end fast...
let's call it a night

or some bulshiut excuse
especially if you like the girl, they love having only 80% of their desires fulfilled

you are giving them too much too early

>I LIKE these girls, I'm into them
Do you actually tell them that?
