I have been studying pick up and learn a lot and there are two things that I see over and over again but still can't understand them...
1. How to be vulnerable ?
I had did couples counseling with an ex before and the counselor kept telling me I needed to be more vulnerable and I have also read this in books but still don't understand it ? I interpreted that it means being more open.. How do you open up to a women you just met at a party or bar ? how does this help attraction ?
2. How do you show sexual interests ? I had a coach and he told me I keep friend zoning the girls i want to be sexual with.. he said the girls want me but I'm not giving off the signals that I'm sexually interested in theses girls.. he said I should just grab her hand or just kiss her and act like nothing happen.. but how do I show sexual interest with a girl I just met ? I can't do those things with a stranger it would scare her....

Mark Manson does an exceptional job at not only explaining what it means to be vulnerable, but also how vulnerability plays out in your interactions with women. U'll find the two articles below quite enlightening and insightful (more so than anything I could say here):
http://markmanson.net/vulnerability
"As a quick refresher, vulnerability is consciously choosing to NOT hide your emotions or desires from others. This can be as simple as complimenting someone on how good they look, approaching an attractive stranger you don’t know, establishing clear and strong boundaries, or expressing your undying love to someone."
Vulnerability is what is meant by being one's authentic self. You are you in spite of what others think. Your existence is not contingent on another's acceptance of you. So you're free from outcome of any particular interaction. What does this mean? You liberate yourself from trying to 'fix' anyone (but yourself), including the women you are with. In doing so that means when there's a fight you know when to walk and once things cool to address matters if they are worth addressing - you are not pulled in by pouting, temper tantrums, or any other type of protest behavior. You do not try to OWN another person's pain to alleviate your own feelings of discomfort and insecurity. You simply BE.
You are also honest in declaring your intentions both to yourself and to others. This is also what's meant by living authentically - you act in accordance with how you feel - more specifically you aren't afraid to ask others to HELP you meet a need; there are no games, no dancing around issues or manipulations such as inducing shame or guilt to get something you want from someone which most of us learn as children.
Being vulnerable does not mean sharing your sob stories in hopes to get sympathy from another. It means giving another person a window into your soul and what they do with that is really up to them - they can take you or leave you, it doesn't matter. If you currently don't like yourself, this will need some examination and change as u'll struggle to have healthy relationships with people. Remember the ONLY real important relationship, first and foremost, is the one you have with yourself.

In this article pay particular attention to the 4 examples as to how men respond to manipulative women and the key distinctions between each. In all 4 circumstances the woman is the same, but each guy responds differently to the situation depending on how in touch he is with himself (and by extension how vulnerable he is).
