Default Maintaining a relationship?

For some reason I cannot keep the interest of a girl.
Im very good at meeting new girls. I can usually get the attention of any girl I want. Then shell be interested and then maybe well hook up.
My main problem is getting a girl that i already have a relationship with like a friend and getting her interested in me. Also after i meet a girl she tends to loose interest in me pretty fast. What could be the problem.. It starts good then i usually end up in the friend zone.
help

The impression you create might be misleading either you or the girls that you hook up. Your expectations or theirs might be misplaced because as time goes you both realize you were wrong; me thinks!

Put your feet down and stamp your reason for the relationship before they begin thinking the otherwise, stop sending mixed signals and make your feelings and intention known as from the onset. Hope I was of help, good day!

Do interesting things. Do things that you are passionate about and take her with you. Maybe this will help..

Maybe it is because of your character, or maybe you are too nice to her and she does not take you seriously as a result. This happens when you show that she is the whole world to you, so she knows that she is in control and she keeps you only as a last resort if she cannot find anyone better.

I have a good friend who has met a lot of guys she liked at first, who turned out not to have any substance -- they are aren't smart enough, they aren't passionate enough, they are too boring, too selfish, whatever. It could be something like that.

If a relationship is progressing, it will develop into a committment, which is a mutual. People become commited to each other, but if the commitment part is amiss, then everything remains casual or the whole thing just disintegrates.
Committment is scary because it implies loss of freedom, but it has its rewards in another way.

Hey man,

Your issue is not maintaining relationships. It's getting women attracted to you and it can be fixed. It'd take me pages and pages of writing to tell you how to go about fixing it, but I can point you to the right direction.

When you're being told "Let's just be friends" by a girl, it's because she is not interested in pursuing anything romantic or sexual with you.

Normally, that happens when a guy is too needy, and too dependent on the girl. You should focus on:
  • -Becoming more confident, (Non needy).
  • -Not kissing their ass, maintaining your own life/standards,
  • -Stop constant approval seeking behavior
  • -Leading the interaction, conversation.
  • -being interesting and fun to hang out with.


Again, it'd take me too long to explain each point in detail. But focus on the 5 things and you'll issue will be resolved.

Take care
Cameron

could possibly be this. But its pretty easy to get a girl attracted to me at first but then i guess i lose something and then it just settles to a good friendship which i dont want at all lol.
