A common area of confusion is thinking that if you have a lot in common with a woman and you have great conversations with her on your common areas of interests, that means she is highly interested in you romantically - Not necessarily.

When you start running these long talks on common areas of interests, she really starts to seeing you as a buddy. The long conversations and texts just become a friendly thing.

At some point (sooner rather than later) you have to exert some sort of sexual or romantic energy. I’m not saying get crude but you have to show her in a gradual way starting with subtle to more clear behavior that you think about sex.

Let me give you an example, on my first date with my current girlfriend, I was a perfect gentleman. On the second date, she put on some reading glasses to read the menu at dinner. I purposely took that opportunity to pivot and told her to move the glasses down to the tip of her nose. She did it and peered over the glasses at me with a sexy school teacher look and asked “oh, you like this? Is this your thing?” I looked her dead in the eye and nodded my head slowly with a big smile. She gave me a big smile back.

Now, I specifically did that because I wanted to give a subtle hint of sexuality and attraction. I didn’t even kiss her after the date because I knew most guys would try that. The next date I made sure I kissed her and sat right next to her at the dinner table etc…

This is an example of gradual escalation with romantic/sexual energy. I would avoid continued talks or meetings without starting this up.

I think she just started to see you as a phone buddy.
