Hey guys
I have been gaming for like 2-3 weeks now had some really good results so far. The other day I stumbled upon a HB i haven't seen for years, I was really stunned by the welcome i got and I need advise.

The reasons why im struggling are:
1. A few years we where only LJBF, but seems pretty obvious she likes me
2. How to get a day 2
3. How to escalate her to get a K-close
4. Maybe put her in the "girlfriend" zone
5. What i could do better next time

This is how it happened
ME: Hi
HB: (looking stunned) OMG, wow! you look really good. (IOI)
after that just small talk really... I did spot a few IOI's. She was playing with her hair for a bit.
Then i said i needed to go back to my friends.

We got talking again later I gamed her pretty well, she got really close to me at one point i said, "wow steady on, it looks like your hitting on me". she took it really well .
Then she told me that, "I have been single for a year now, i'm looking for a BF now". then i met up with my friends again.

Then i also said:
"Did you know that your nose wiggles when you speak, it's really cute" (complete bollox, but you know)
HB: "your horrible"
ME: Yeah i know, but i think its cute. (Could i have said anything better in the shit test?)

Then she said:
HB: "I am moving on to another club now, you should come"
ME: "we should hook up some time"
HB: "yeah def, call me"

Then she text me the next day saying: How are you? Did you have a good night last night? I was so drunk last night!
and i texted back just like "yeah im ok, blah blah, blah" to her, but she never replied.... she playing hard to get?

What should i do????

It looks like there was already good attraction, just never any solid escalation. The first part of your post, you guys are flirting like mad. But where's the escalation???
Never, NEVER text back "Yeah im ok". That is classic AFC text response. Her first message is a TEST. You need to respond to it with something around the lines of "call me later, need to drive someone home" (starting a jealousy line) or "was a blast, sucks to be you tho" or something along those lines.

Escalate faster dude. The moment you saw this girl, you should have started some kino. Light touches on the shoulder. You guys are already friends, so after not seeing each other for a while, light kino is VERY acceptable. When you guys are in the comfort/rapport/flirting stages like you seem to have been, you need to be escalating your forms of kino (1-arm hugging, playing with her waistline, things with her hands, etc). Get her to invest some of her feelings in you too. I'm still learning, too, but this is what I've read on it so far.

I was using lots of kino i just didn't mention it. I made sure to touch the back of her arm and stroke her shoulder also i made sure to find a reason to fiddle with her hair.
the only thing i didn't do was go in for the kiss close which is pretty AFC!
but i called her tonight just for a chat and she asked if i wanted to meet over the weekend. i said "maybe, ill let you know".
she asked me many questions and gave extended answers, which is a pretty good thing.
then the convo was going well so i said "my friend is calling, ill give you a ring back some other time" (no 1 was really calling me) i just thought i would kill the convo while it was at a high.

We shall see, i just need to make sure that i dont get LMR!
