At least that’s how I view it.
It’s not about using certain lines. There no magic phrases or lines to make girls like you. It’s understanding the concept that the interaction is not friends but the intention to date.
I was horrible at this. I would go on dates and we would talk, have fun, and then nothing. My problem, which is a lot of guys problem, is even though the conversation seemed good it was the same conversation I would have with any of my friends. There was no intent. But if I say something like “you look so cute when frustrated” that’s something I would never say to a friend. Thus the conversation now becomes man to woman. The tough part is doing that without gushing too much and looking desperate. Girls don’t like desperate. It’s psychology. They want a leader. it’s not about the lines. It’s about the concept of letting a girl know you are interested and high value. That’s where the silly pickups artist would get carried away with canned lines and even putting girls down which was so dumb.
It’s not new but there is a lot of content on social media about social interactions nowadays. I think the reason is social media makes it easier to get messages to large groups of people and these are topics that interest a lot of people so you hear this stuff all the time. The other reason is dating apps.
Dating apps changed the dating world big time. It’s a lot harder to stand out now. You can just open your phone and find new people with a few clicks. To get a girls attention and keep it can be difficult from my experience. Girls have their own struggles from the apps as well of course.
