There are indications that I'm being friend zoned. But I think the woman I'm dating is not sure on what basis she wants to know me yet.... She is conservative socially and I'm more relaxed.... She's successful(Harvard, Great job, small business on the side), I'm recovering from past setbacks.
She responds to all my messages and sometimes initiates...I flirt with her a lot; sometimes sexual...However I try to keep the sexual flirting light... She got offended at me once saying she didn't like when people talk about sex that aren't her significant other(she's self-described as "catholic lite"... this is after she laughed at something I said but I continued on the same element...
She has asked me multiple times when are we going to hang out again...
Woah woah woah... What are you doing? You sound so beta here, is that what you're going for? It's super obvious she's into you but you're putting yourself in the friend zone!
She's successful, you're recovering.
You got sexual, she "got offended", you backed down. (FYI this was a likely a shit test and you failed it).
She's having to ask you when you're hanging out again.
You've not only put her in the driver seat, you're trying to get yourself kicked out of the car.
Successful, intelligent women are often in control. That's how they live their life. They often want to be in charge of everything.... Except when it comes to dating/sex/relationships!! They want a man to step up and be in control of this. They don't want to have to plan dates, carry conversation, make sure you have fun... They have enough day to day stuff to think about. This is where they want to let go of the reigns and let someone show them a good time. Now they don't want a jerk, but they want assertiveness. They want to be surprised with stuff you've planned. Fun dates where you've planned everything and they are in the dark... They eat that up!
Remember, girls in general but especially successful smart women... They want you to be their Disneyland! You are their amusement park. They want to show up have fun and ride the rides! Oh, and about the getting sexual... Trust me she wants that but as you said she's that respected women in public. She's gotta trust you aren't gonna ruin that respect. But behind closed doors... She will let that freak flag fly if she trusts you to keep it on the down low. You've got to treat her as "a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed".
Be confident and assertive. Let her FB friends be jealous of the fun surprise stuff you planned for her. Up your value. Be a gentleman, but be sexual at the same time. Reward her good responses publically. After a steamy night together, send her flowers to her office anonymously... She'll know who but her co-workers won't... Chicks dig that mystery!
Anyway this is all if you really want this woman. If it's just a hit it and quit it, she's probably not gonna go for it with how things have gone. But either way don't wait... Escalate!
