>Nah, it's not that complex.
Nothing about that was complex.
>Just show ordinary interest.
Doesn't really get you anywhere. In fact, showing interest alone can be creepy and register as sexual impropriety if she turns out to be not as privy towards it.
>It's fine to even schedule back to back dates, even.
Those kinds of dates have gradually decreased in popularity since the tech boom. Most of my colleagues are married, and they don't do that. :/
>Showing interest is great
Showing interest rarely goes anywhere. You'll be lucky if they connect the dots or notice it. And sometimes when they do, it's easy for them to be uncomfortable.
>If you instantly come off as wanting a relationship
Which a usual sign of interest.
>just for the sake of having it
A lot of today's dating, especially among young people, seem to be for the sake of it.
>you'll have no success
It depends if they're receptive to you. If not, showing interest not only results in nothing, but it can easily have worse results.
>If you take a realistic approach
None of what's being described here is realistic. :/
>and get to know the person
Often doesn't go anywhere, even with other relationships like friends or family. Not to mention, that's a really creepy approach to take, whether we're talking romantic or just in general. As well it's a deeply disrespectful thing to do around people you haven't already got to know. There's very places outside of the US where that behaviour flies. And even over there, it doesn't always go down well.
>and build on it the more you get to know her
Again, creepy and forced.
>and the more you (hopefully) start to like her, you'll be fine.
Why would you pursue a romance if you don't already like them?
>It's not a skill
Sociability of any kind is a general skill.
>it's just letting it develop naturally
It's letting virtual nothingness happen.
>and not try to force it
A lot of the approaches thus far are pretty forced. :/
