Roz, no offence, I appreciate you said what's going on in women's brains in these situations. But it reminds me of a woman telling me she wants a prince, "nice guy" who will do everything for her.
If a famous movie star came into a drinks party you were at, and came and talked to everyone, and spent extra time talking to you and gave you a compliment, you'd be like "wow, they're so down to earth and friendly, they really took the time to talk to and listen to everyone else, what a great person." However, if some nobody stands in the corner all night and then goes up to you and talks to you for a while and gives you the same compliment, you'll think "oh he's just some loser who was trying to make me like him."
I think Roz and Kasabi were talking at crossed purposes here.
I think Roz is talking about what a girl would like to hear when she's ALREADY attracted to you and is ALREADY either going to have sex with you, or has already had sex with you before.
Most women's perspective comes from the assumption that she's attracted to you. They don't really have advice for how to MAKE her attracted to you, because they simply don't know how that works. It just "happens" or it doesn't. We spend a lot of time on here figuring out the right bits and pieces to project the image of someone like the kind of guy most women are attracted to i.e. confident, has women in his life, is social, intelligent, funny, has goals and ambitions, etc.
When a girl says "I want a guy to make me feel like I'm special and the only girl in his life" she means "I want the guy that I've seen flirting with other women and who clearly has lots of options and is really fun and attractive to make the effort to spend time just with me and make me feel like I'm the centre of attention," because this is in contrast to how she sees him normally, it shows he's returning her interest, and his perceived value is higher than hers.
If you do that stuff too early on, or have not generated enough attraction in her, then it will be AFC, because to compliment a girl or say she's special when she's never noticed you and is not interested in you, will seem like rapport-seeking behaviour, i.e. trying to say the right thing to get her to like you.
So, when to tell her she turns you on, that you think she's fucking sexy, that you can barely keep your hands of her?
Only AFTER you've signalled your sexual intent and she's expressly or impliedly reciprocated, and you've established at least a few commonalities and know a few things about each other.
This means it's not wise as an opener, unless you've seen serious IOIs in the form of eye contact from across the room, she's opened you, and/or you have extremely high value in the situation.
If you open directly and she's up for it, then you can within 5-10 minutes.
If you open indirectly, then after you've finished attraction and have done some qualification and comfort (20-30 minutes)
(p.s. See why direct is best?)
