The conclusion that ive come to is that the less emotion you show the better. That is until the relationship becomes a bit more serious after a few months then you have to bring your gaurd down a little and reward her at times when she complies.
Spot on. Even though I wouldn't call it a 'guard', that term implies protection and weakness.
I agree with what you say though. Because my interactions initially with a girl are mostly unemotional, as soon I have attraction I will start throwing in the odd 'sweet' or caring comment here and there when she complies, and they LOVE it. It is a treat to them as you;ve used it sparingly, and they normally respond with a 'aaawwwe that is such a sweet msg' or 'that is such a sweet thing to say, who would have thought!', but dont dwell on it, fire the convo in a different direction immediately.
This compared to being over caring and 'soppy' when you first meet her, which will more often than not end up making you one of her caring 'girl friends'. Bottom line is to first show your rock solid emotional control, and only after this you can start to illustrate your ability to emote (in moderation!).
