If your love life hasn't gone anywhere in a while, take it as a sign that you may need to make some extra effort. "If you get a lot of online matches or people expressing interest in you, but these never turn into actual dates, you’re probably playing it a little too cool," says certified counselor Jonathan Bennett. "It shows that others find you a...
If you're too passive in the dating world, you might find yourself caught up with people who don't take you very seriously. "Only the most outgoing men ... will put in the effort needed to win over a woman who takes little personal initiative," Bennett says. So, while you might think you're doing yourself a favor by being chill, your passiveness mi...
The friend zone is another side effect of overly-chill vibes. "If you’re the go-to friend to give him dating advice, it means he respects your opinion, but he’s probably not looking at you as the one he really desires," says Burns. If this sounds familiar, it may be time to call him out, and ask for what you want.
While it's fun to have friends with benefits, sometime you just wanna take it to the next level. But if you play it too cool, that might never happen. "Be assertive and say, 'Listen, I’m attracted to you, and I know we’re friends, but if we’re going to do this you need to actually date me and give us a real shot,'" says Burns. "A statement like thi...

"If you do not smile or don't make eye contact with someone, they won't know you are interested." A...
Do you get a text from a guy, and then wait two or three (or more) days to respond? As Alstar tells me, this may seem like a fun way to play hard to get, but it isn't actually a great idea. "You think this is playing it cool, but dating is a two person game, and if he doesn't get a response he'll think he's playing by himself." So go ahead and text...
In an effort to be easy going, you might let him take the lead on dates. But this "easy going" mentality isn't very likable. "If he asks what your favorite food is, tell him," says Alstar. Same goes for what movie you want to see, or where you'd like to go get drinks. It may seem "cool" to let your date decide, but tactic can also make you seem pas...
While you might think it's over-the-top to express your desire, people actually really like that. "Men and women want to feel desired and wanted and this sends a message of ambiguity, which will hold you back in love," says Bonnie Winston, a celebrity matchmaker and relationship expert. But if you can be honest about your feelings, and even a littl...
I know, texting is the preferred (and most comfortable) form of communication. And yet, when trying to get a relationship off the ground, you might want to step it up a notch.

OK, so it can be awkward to walk up to someone and say, "I like you." But this has to be done, in some form, if you want a relationship to begin.
