If you're getting friendzoned, then you need to be more assertive. By the 2nd or 3rd date, you should be escalating to physical touch (try accidentally brushing your hand against her side, touching her wrist, etc but if the girl jolts away then that's a sign that you're being too aggressive. If she starts touching you back, then you're doing something right). Read The Game by Neil Strauss (although take it with a grain of salt). Also consider moving to a location where the supply/demand economics are much better (I'm going to assume you live in the Bay Area). In places like NYC, I've heard that women will actually approach you.
