INTJ Male Seeking Dating Advice

An INTJ male shares his struggles with dating and seeks advice on how to improve his dating skills.

As an INTJ male, I'm seeking a dating guide. At 28 and single, I struggle with dating despite being a good listener and analyzer. I'm often labeled as a good friend but find it hard to progress romantically. I respect women and try to be a gentleman, but this sometimes leads to being stuck in the friend zone. I don't understand how to provide emotional value and find it difficult to advance the relationship. I've tried reading books but still can't figure it out. I'm looking for advice on how INTJ men can date successfully. Recently, I've tried expanding my social circle but still find it hard to connect with women. Chatting is difficult, and I struggle with maintaining relationships online. I'm also bad at being observant and have been criticized for not being attentive enough. I'm looking for practical dating advice and hoping to find someone who can understand me.
