I'm a single man now. Had a date last night, it was fun but ended early (8:30pm) in the friend zone. Mostly because of language barrier. I kissed her hair and flirted a bit but it got awkward when we ran out of things to talk about.

I was cheating a little bit, I had Poetry of the Silent Eros #1 playing silently on my phone in my pocket during the date. That's just sex noise, no English right? She can't speak a word of English. Also that shouldn't mess with DMSI right? Since there's no words.

Reminds me, I was so drunk when I got home last night I forgot to play DMSI (went clubbing after the date, free drinks all night because they wanted me to get laid after I told them my story). That's the first time I forgot.

Flying home in a few hours, just chilling in the motel lobby enjoying the wifi.

Absolutely, I'll testify to that.

It's funny the polar extremes here, Chinese single women also have a reputation for being easy, especially with foreigners. Big population gives a wide range I suppose.

I was trying to get some of that before I left but was unsuccessful. Nevermind, just warming up!

So I'm still stuck here in China, couldn't get on the plane without a visa so now I'm preparing to go back to my ex's hometown to get another visa. Still haven't gotten laid yet but I did make a really good friend with one girl. She doesn't want a romantic or sexual relationship (I think I was coming on too strong) but still really wants to hang out and I realized, the friend zone isn't such a bad thing. (A) I really need a friend right now with all the crap I'm going through with my visa, (B) nothing bad could ever come out from spending lots of time with gorgeous women. Maybe she might introduce me to a friend? Anyway it's good to just learn how to be around women.

My dad made an interesting comment yesterday. He said 'you're not an alpha male, neither am I, just accept it. You can't just walk up to a woman and get her to come home with you, you have to take the route of becoming her friend'. It made me think 'hmm, I should take the AM sub'. Like I'm all for making lots of friends who are girls, but right now I really want a one night stand or a FWB. I don't know how to initiate that, and end up making friends instead. Friends are great in the long term but in the short term I really need to have amazing sex with someone who isn't my ex wife.

This girl is a little confusing. She knows I've totally got the hots for her but hasn't made it any less ambiguous whether or not this is going to go further. Yet she is still happy to go do heaps of stuff together like badminton, rock climbing, try out a bunch of restaurants and generally spend heaps of time alone together. My guess is that she's leaving the door wide open for it to develop into something sexual but she doesn't want to go too fast. I'm open to that. She's an awesome woman.

However as long as I'm not her boyfriend, there's nothing to be loyal about. When it is, I will be. Am I missing something? She told me straight up she isn't going to sleep with me and just wants to be friends. Then when I tell her I like her for who she is and am not just trying to get in her pants she behaves like she wants to be best-friends-forever. As far as I can see it at face value, that's exactly all I should expect and I should enjoy it for what it is. It's great to have a friend like that, I'm not complaining. I might ask her if she has any friends who want a foreigner for a boyfriend. Am I wrong here or am I missing something? I don't understand women very well.

Why settle for that again?

Yes! Right!
Thanks dude thats exactly the kind of thing I need to hear. Thanks for the reminder!

I honestly have no idea how to initiate a one night stand, having never done it before. I never know whats appropriate or not. I stole a few kisses, told them I think they're beautiful etc, but I'm always having to be careful of drawing the line between charming and creepy. I don't know what to do, which is why I still haven't got laid yet.

I asked a girl if she wanted to come back to my motel room once, she didn't slap me but made it clear I was friend-zoned. I don't know under what conditions its appropriate to pop that question, or how to bring about such conditions.

I always do it indirectly, then I push in the direction I want them to be. For example instead of inviting her to your hotel you could told her to come see a movie or something, listening to a music, or showing her something. Then you proceed to escalate, I never tell them directly I want to kiss or I want to have sex. Some girl don't care about it, they will respond well even if you ask directly but some won't. Even if I had sex with girl already I usually avoid to ask her directly for sex, I just kiss her still she can't hold it together or I caress her in the right direction. Usually girls don't like to be asked for sex even if they want to. At the same time for you it's easier, you don't have to have an awkward conversation about it.

The problem when you ask directly is that you offer her a choice, and most girls will take the safest answer. When you act instead of talking you already did it so she is more likely to comply, she still have a choice to refuse but she has less responsibility, she can put all the blame on you, her reputation is safe, she is not wh**re who says yes to every guy. In this circumstances she can say she was caught in the moment, she doesn't have to think, it just happened.
