Attraction before comfort is Mystery's order: get spark before you become the safe friend. Later writers still uses the shape — teasing and sexualization early enough that rapport does not build a platonic résumé. Comfort without attraction is the friend zone.

Method

1. Open with intent (direct game once you can).
2. Tease, polarize, move. Then a serious beat.
3. Do not deep-dive her childhood in minute two unless the spark is already loud. See deep diving.

Failure mode

Interview mode from the first sentence. Or the reverse: all tease, never a person. Calibration.
