I am a bit frustrated right now in that nearly all the women I meet, they never consider me as dating/relationship material and very quickly put me in the "friend zone". I do come off as a nice guy, but I'm quite bluntly honest and straight-forward as well. I'm humble, modest, and fairly confident, however, ladies continue to put me in that friend zone. Worse-over, they very quickly become real good friends with me, and spew their life story to me as they do find me to be a very genuine and trustworthy guy. Its come to the point where I really do not want to make any more friends as I can only keep so many friendships strong without any major dilution.
I've even gone to the point where I tell the other individual that I just want to date or develop a relationship, but still, it ends up this way. Don't get me wrong, I face rejection fairly well and quickly move on to the next. I don't think I'm a tool, but do I really need to put on that bad boy image in order for me to be considered? It feels real fake if I had to do that, so I've refused to do that, but all these books says otherwise... What do I know? What are some of your guys/gals thoughts on this?
