Here is the break down, I've been doing months of working on myself. I'm in my last year of school and I still have two problems that are not working themselves out. The problems are texting and kino escalation.

About me: I'm very playful and teasing with women, I have very calm body language and I'm fairly laid back with my approaches. Most of what I do is day game where I do a follow up at one of the court yards on campus. I also do some bar/club/party stuff but I dont have as many problems with that part.

First problem that I run into is I have a poor text game, It is slowly working itself out but for some reason I try to keep sexual tension over texts and this backfires half the time.

The second problem that is more of a concern is my inability to begin kino escalating. When I'm at a party/bar I can usually get away with skipping some of the early steps of kino cause i build a lot of attraction.

However, with my day game (and the girls I'd actually like to be with) I get shut down when I dont escalate properly. I need advice on how to build myself up to lets say getting my arm around her. I'm not a very touchy person myself, but I need to start getting this across to send the right image. So please focus on the light touching and ways to build that up in a non creepy way for day dates.

One thing, which I've done on my campus, was: when walking with a girl I met in class, I suddendly stopped with "omg, stop", put my right arm lightly on her back, gently grabbed her left arm with my left hand, and leaned forward slightly as if i'd just saw something across the way and to her right, "do you see that?!"
"What?"
turned her slightly so she was facing the direction I was looking, and pointed, "that! right there! look!"
At this point, she was already leaning in next to me trying to see from where i was seeing, "What? what are you talking about?"
I leaned in a little closer like I was trying to line our sight up and said, "right there...See it?"
"No, what is it?"
"A sign, that says '______ you're way too gullible'" (I actually said, "It's your gullability, written across the grass", but I think the other way would probably work better.)
That's when the smacks and the "you're such a jerk!" came, but in a good way, of course.

I also followed with, "oh calm down" and gave her a little push, then added (and I don't recommend saying this, even though it worked for me) "At least you're not as bad as those kids I tricked out of their candy at halloween."
