Escalate from the outset. Touch them with the opener, stand right next to them.

YouTube Liam McRae rapid escalation. Thank me later.

Do you have a link for that particular video ? the liam macrae escalation??

I guess it is something where as until I break through my wall of not doing it, and finally seeing its effect, I will keep pausing.

Like at my work, two girls who work on the front end of my store within clear view for both of our shifts, I always catch smiling at me and we lock eyes, I give a cheeky smile and hold until she looks away first. Now what..and yes I talk to both of them in good fluid convo.

^This isn't exactly pick up is it?

You claim you can do this and you can do that in terms of pick up and then you bring up 'eye contact' with people at your work and how you cannot bring this situation further?

Escalating does not occur in a vacuum. Escalating is a part of pick up. Opening is a part of pick up. The sooner you accept you know jack shit about PU and start researching and practicing the process, the sooner you will lose your virginity. This forum is filled with great info . . . do your research. Figure out:

1. Open.
2. Routine.
3. Close.

Strategize. Practice. Do it. Leave those poor girls who work at the front alone . . .until you figure this shit out.

Honestly, I am more or less here for inner game and escalating tips. I like gettig ideas for mindsets off of here.
I assume you mean 'virginity,' as in pu virginity. Because I am far from a virgin. I encounter massive amounts of ioi's everyday, from multiple women.i have women that come up to me telling me how attractive I am. It is very kind of them. I keep in check though.

So, I have been given all of the stuff I believe pua's try to overcompensate for with a lot of these routines. But I cannot escalate as I'd like.

You are in an anonymous PU forum. Nobody cares if you are a virgin or not. The fact that you are trying to PROVE to yourself to a group of non-caring strangers says a lot. Whether women come up to you and tell you you are hot, you are a pig, or you are an idiot, has NOTHING to do with your PU abilities. This is going to be tough. . . it's difficult for any man to accept that he sucks at anything but hey, you do suck at this. Accept this. Start from pick up 101. And improve. Begin with openers and start opening WOMEN instead of standing there like an idiot and getting giddy with smiles from coworkers.

Do something simple like showing them a stupid trick with a pencil or cards or coins. Once you have at least talked to them enough to know their names, come up to them again sometime and just right of the bat be like "Hey, check this out..." and go right into the trick.

After you do it she'll laugh or smile, then tell her to hold the cards/pencil/coins or whatever. As she starts to hold her hand out be like "Wait a minute.." then kind of grab her hand and ask her if she believes in palm reading. She'll be curious, doesn't really matter what she says. Then go into the palm reading bit where you tell her that this line means this, this one means that, and....uh oh, this one means she's a retard. Then she'll start laughing, hit you or whatever, and boom, you've already done kino escalation.

I feel like it is an obvious tactic off the bat. If the girl has half a brain cell. Any great ways to do so without something so obvious? I do a lot of high-fiving and small fist bumps? Just some simple, low-key physical initiating. In my head, they are at least aware that I touch. And in another setting, escalating the touching would not be completely out of the blue.
