Here's some of the things I've learnt, but if someone told me when I was younger I wouldn't have understood fully or believed them.
1) It's not really the sex you crave. Its the affection, intimacy, and connection with someone. Even BDSM is based on trust!
2) There is a relatively easy way to get sex. Lie. Say everything you want her to hear. You'll feel good for a short while, but then you'll feel shit about yourself afterwards, unless you're a narcissist. You are better than them.
3) Bragging about "How many birds you've shagged" is a sign of insecurity. People do it as they are seeking validation. If they need lots of sex to feel validated then they are likely to be a very insecure person. I known people who've supposedly got it all, but they've cheated on their wives and the parents of their kids etc. Those people are dead inside and hate themselves. They can't even face up to them hating themselves, you are better than them.
4) You can't compair mens sex lifes to womens, simply because men generally do the propositioning. Men who are unsuccessful in love get no propositions at all.... Women get lots of unwanted proposition.
5) Films and the media make everything out to be a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
It can actually be really straight forward. If you like someone, and thinks she's into you - just say - "Hey, do you fancy going for a drink some time?"
Making a move to steal a kiss... thats more difficult to work out how it generally happens because I'm normal pretty drunk.
However, if you get that far and she's into you, all you have to say is "hey, do you fancy going back to mine?"
If she say no, that's cool, she won't be offended, follow it up by saying something like "that's cool, sorry I should have asked, I'm really enjoying spending time with you, wanna meet up again soon?"
Nothing complicated. Just be honest. It will happen. Hope you meet someone you really like! Its about you, not anyone else.
