So I'm a senior in high school and I've great success since my sophomore year when I started studying picking up girls. I have a pretty good grasp of the mystery method and basic concepts, I've number closed, kissed closed, and f closed many times, but mostly with girls not in my school. So here's my problem, I've got a case of one-itis pretty bad, but I really really like this girl to the point where I can't sleep and my mind pretty much revolves around her, even though this is REALLY bad. Here's the start of our interactions up until now:

She's in my grade, but I just started talking to her this year. I started by getting in with her friends, building a little rapport, and teasing. I wasn't long before I started making her laugh, teasing her, and I number closed her easily. The next day, while she was laughing hysterically at my playful teasing and DHV stuff, I asked her to my homecoming dance, she said yes, texted me within a half hour of saying goodbye. We went to the dance, but here's the thing, she's really shy, quiet, and doesn't ever initiate conversation with me, but here are the IOIs I got: she flipped her hair while talking to me lots of times, she left her friends to stay with me, she laughed at every joke I made, and she smiled a lot. I didnt try to kiss her or anything that night.

Ever since then, I've carefully used lots of DHV stories, teased her, made her laugh almost every time I'm with her, teased her, used lots of gambits and routines, I've had normal conversations, I've texted her only a couple times a week, and I have lots of social proof (more than her) and lots of other girls to talk to. I've been very confident and am the alpha male of the class i have her in.From her, I get LOTS of hair tosses as IOIs, giggling at everything, mirroring my gestures, continuing conversations when I end them, etc. she'll walk a different way to her classes just to walk with me sometimes.

This is all good, but the problem is, this has been going on in that cycle for a month now and I don't know what to do to make her my girlfriend!! she's really shy, quiet, religious, nice, and hard to read, but she's very very beautiful and I don't know what to do to go to the next level! the other day I texted her and said hey, and she didn't text back. did she flake on me or what happened, and what should I do to handle it?

Thanks in advance for all responses!!!!!!

I am in a similar situation, but without all that high school dance business. The thought of going back to that makes me cringe. My situation has been going on for over a month now, and it's starting to get a little stagnant. I made her dinner once, and she didn't want to stay to watch a movie, but she's flirty with me, especially when we're with her girlfriends, who are good friends of mine. I'm supposed to be making her dinner again in a couple days, and I hope she doesn't flake, because I'm not sure if I can remind her without sounding needy.

What you need to do here is change something up. Don't do things you've been doing together; do something different. And it had better be really, really fun and interesting. A concert could maybe work, but don't let it seem like it's meant to be just the two of you. It's OK if other people are involved, but make sure you two have some alone time afterward. How to make all that happen is a big question, and it's one that we both have to figure out very soon, or this thing is just going to peter out and become nothing.

why are you not escalating? your window of opportunity is closing!

he is right, i had the exact same problem with you, my nerves got to me and i never escalated kino a little bit, my door then closed and i was pissed off with myself.
escalate more kino!
