It is not creepy to let a woman know that you like her or like something about her and that it's romantic.

In fact, you know what's creepy or at least weird?

Hiding your interest, especially if you met on a dating app, especially if you're on a first date.

What's more normal than letting a woman know you're attracted to her on a first date?

It'd be weird not to.

Here's why clear statements of romantic interest works.

And this is such an important level of flirting.

Because women tend to really like a guy who is confident enough to say what he thinks.

Women like men who tell it like it is, generally.

So you want to just say what you genuinely feel.

One of the first things I tell my clients in week one, call number one, when we do a coaching call and dive into me helping him get his dating results and get a girlfriend, is I teach him one of my philosophies, which is,

What I'm thinking and feeling is what I'm saying and doing with women.

You want to speak your thoughts.

As long as they're not vulgar or R-rated too soon, it's good.

It's okay.

So this works because women tend to like a really clear, direct guy who tells it like it is.

You know, why do so-called bad boys, so-called assholes do well with women often?

It's because these guys, even if they're dickish,

they often just kind of tell it like it is, you know, they just say the thing that's on their mind and that's a very attractive trait and it's a very important romantic flirtatious tool, right?

So clear statements of interest.
