Okay, I have just re-read Magic Bullets. I have been doing pretty good up until now but I thought a review would do me good. I dont have much problem opening. I dont have too much of a problem with the transition.

I can handle the attraction phase fairly well but I have some problems with accepting IOI's for what they are and sometimes old patterns arise and I think that there isnt any way she could be interested in me. Anyways, using some RJ affirmations and things I am getting better at that. I think I just have to be more observant about IOI's.

However, after reading Magic Bullets again, I think I am missing the qualification phase and going straight to comfort. This seems to almost always put me in the friends zone.

I dont have any problems with any of the other stuff and can almost always have good conversations with many pretty women in one night. It just seems like it always ends at that, a good conversation.

Anyone give me any suggestions about moving into qualification and making that work before moving on to comfort?

From what it sounds like, you must be doing a few things wrong in A2 (Besides A3) if you're working attraction and getting put in the friend zone. I think you should re evaluate what you're doing with your Attraction phase and see what's fine and what needs improvement. But work A2.. And move onto A3 by saying something like..

wow! I was actually wrong about you, you're a cool ass chick. It's pretty damn good to see you have something/things going for you than just your looks. That's one way or you could simply ask them something that you're interested in knowing about them.. Ex: Do you know how to cook at all or are you one of those girls that putt everything in the microwave?? Hell Yeah, I can! My main things I cook are Pastas and Mexican dishes. Or.. Noo.. I'm not that good yet but I'm learning how to, maybe you can teach me?

Here's one I worked when I was gaming this hb.. I did a DQ and she tried qualifying herself to me.

Sprks: Man, you're cute but I kinda only date shorter girls.
Her: When I take off my heels I'm really about this tall.. (her showing me how small she really is in actual height)

If it's good enough for you to accept her qualification then accept it, if it's not then don't. Make her jump thru another hoop to win you over. Just don't over do it. Or if you accept her qualification too easy then she'll realize it and see you as not much of a prize. So don't do too much or too less and you'll be good.
