So I have been reading up on the game for a few weeks, but haven't really had an opportunity to field test much. Been real busy in high school between sports etc. I have been thinking about every situation that I have had with a girl, and why they went wrong. I now believe that my problem lies in showing a girl that I am not AFC and escalating kino. Some specific encounters would have to be this summer, when I was talking to a senior HB9 at a party. She told me I was cute, we got into some good conversations but I never escalated any kino from what I remember. Many girls this summer were giving me IOI's, getting my # and texting me, but it never went anywhere past texting, infact I didn't hook up with any of them. I now feel like a total idiot, being that I was given tons of IOI's and they were all going out of their way to talk to me, but I never showed them that I could be more than AFC. Eventually all of the girls I have talked to get bored of just texting and me not escalating any physical attraction. Generally my instinct is that if I were to touch the girl in any way too fast, she would back off and take offense. I need some help on transitioning from an initial approach and showing the girl that I am physically attracted to her and want to take things to the next level(aka hookup/sex). Thanks a lot.
