First off, thanks for reading you all. I think I'm not the only one with this problem and I believe it stems to the root of some of my friend zone problems.

I'm not a very touchy guy, nor do I like to use direct game (I really dislike direct game). I know this hurts me when it comes to ladies because these are two very common types of game I see people use to make sure they aren't being seen as just a friend. I'm quick on my feet and use word play and funny/cocky to state my intentions that I do not want to be thought of just as your friend.

Does anyone have any resources or advice/tips on how to improve what I currently use? I'm working on adding more touching to my game but it just doesn't come very natural to me like cocky/funny, etc.

Thanks guys, your help is greatly appreciated. I'm currently reading Models and 60yoc because I read in another thread that those suit my style a lot.

The intensity of your eye contact, the tone of your voice, the way you touch her, your overall demeanor, all of these things let her know your intent is not to be her friend, but her lover (if she 'qualifies' for the role). Plus, where's the mystery for the girl if you just blurt out "my name is x what's your name, i think you are cute" right off the bat. You can open with something as inane as (pulling up your sleeve) "check this out, I ran into a wall and have this bruise on my arm" and if said in a smooth way, the girl will swoon.

Could you give examples of tone of voice other than speak deeper (and sometimes softer I suppose)?

Imagine the sound of your voice when speaking to a girl right after you've had sex with her. Or speaking with your g/f when she's holding your hand and you're kissing and you're alone on the chairlift with her at the snowboard hill. That kind of vocal tonality. You can go loud/quiet/normal range, as long as it's smooth, not creepy. Hope that helps.
