However the last 2 times I was on a date, the last just saw it as friends hanging out and the one before that had a hunch it was a date and said she wasn't ready for another boyfriend yet (after 3 year relationship).With the last girl who I hung out with, it was a kick in the teeth and I don't want to bee seen as just a friend to her. What should I do? Reply to this Question Share |

Get past her. There are plenty of girls out there, thousands of which would make great girlfriends. Pining away for one girl not only wastes your time, but allows other guys the opportunities to get with girls who might actually date you.
Sad truth: you cannot, ever, *ever* "convince" a girl to like you. At best, you can make yourself an attractive option and see fi she picks it. If not, her loss.
I know it hurts, at first, but you can get used to being turned down. Doing so is the only way to start consistently hearing "Yes."
