yoyoyo... so i've been seeing this girl for a little while, coffee/dinner dates and movies and the like, you know how it is.

i'm fairly sure i've got her where i want her, but shes quite reserved/traditional, so i'd like to escalate the fclose process. i'm having trouble building kino during a dinner date, for example. do any of you have good ideas/ routines to help with this?

also, as a random point - i've noticed that i've been starting to actually like her. while this hasnt stopped me from being a true, hedonistic pua, i have noticed that it has destroyed my ability to be completely alpha around her. anyone been in a similar situation where they start to like a girl, resulting in the dreaded loss of alpha-ness?

I actually don't, but that's besides the point.
Dinner is tough, if, as many do, you sit on opposite sides of the table. Coffee can be easier, movies are too, and things like shisha bars are good as well. Anything where there's no physical barrier between you. If you can be C&F, you can probably get her to slap you a few times. Otherwise, traditional escalation: start small, hand on back while talking, overdone mannerisms while talking (e.g. grabbing both her shoulders or putting your arm around her when you're making a point), etc. Here's a link to a few kino games. kino-games-vt20110.html?highlight=

Even if you think she's shy and reserved, let her worry about her boundaries. Obviously, don't do anything she doesn't welcome, but don't assume things. I've found "good" or initially shy girls to be shockingly wild in the sack.
Not exactly. I have a few girls I've started liking as more than ONSs, so I'm turning them into FWB. Just keep gaming and closing other girls, keep your thing with her non-exclusive. That should restore your "alphaness", which is probably suffering from a mild onset of oneitis.
