The date seemed to go well—conversation flowed, and there were no awkward silences. Yet she texted you those painful words: “I just didn’t feel a connection.” In Part 1 of this two-part episode of “How to Get a Girlfriend,” dating coach and bestselling author Connell Barrett explains why many men end up in the Friend Zone. He also shares how changing the way you communicate with women creates the spark that leads to second dates, first kisses—and a lasting relationship.
