I think that making a girl take you seriously is important for seduction. In fact, Chase has a post on this. my concern at this moment is that after seeming authoritative, firm and decisive, flirty.. what if she desn't still take you seriously? I seem to run into these sort of situations where the girl moves with me, enjoys talking with me over and over, flirts; yet when I ask for certain levels of investment (Go to her place, grab a drink, travel in to see me) they seem to ignore them, or simply act aloof to such investment cues. Is it that the girls around me are too young and naive to want to be involved or could it be that the sexy vibe I think i'm giving is not really a thorough sexy vibe?
