Plain and simple, if you don't make your move within the first 2 dates, you're going to find yourself in the 'friend' category. From there 'friend' becomes, 'pathetic'

Sure a woman wants to be treated with respect, dignity, blah blah.. but she also wants you to be strong and in control. Be a man. Too much Beta behavior is gross. If you get a second date, that means 'you're in.' That means she likes you enough to want to see you again. So by the end of the second date, if you feel a 3rd date coming on, that's when you make your move. Not Ogre like, all stinky and hairy...(this is where the respect part comes in) but 'gently persuade' knudge... You are man, eat, drink, take!

Of course if she isn't ready to take it all in, that's fine, but leave her with just enough oxygen so she needs to see you again.

As much as a woman needs her man to be understanding and supportive, she also needs him to take charge. Trust me, I know. Now where did I put my bong...
