Picked up a girl at park. Took her out on two dates. Not much kino on either date. Date one went well (laughed, good convo, IOIs). Date 2, watched movie, I ended night early.

I was texting her to set up date 3:

Me - I just remembered, we still have to play tennis. (she's also a tennis player, like me).
Her - Sounds fun. But so we're both on the same page, I'm not looking for a relationship, but would like to hang out as friends. Sorry if it's out of nowhere, i know we've been texting a lot. Just not looking for anything more right now.
Me - okay, we'll set up a time to play tennis
Her - Yea! i mean, how do you feel about what i said?
Me - Well, i thought there was something there ... but i'm cool with being friends.
Her - okay, yea, i just wanted to make sure we're on the same page.

What do I make of this? She seems very responsive and give a lot of IOIs. How do I win her over? I'm going to try friends, keep flirting, and obviously look for other girls (actually already met another one). But I would still love to get this girl.

Well she tried reeling you in the LJBF boat and you just jumped aboard.

Ofcourse there is the whole lack of Kino thing, my guess is you didnt kiss her on either of the dates and failed to create any sexual tension.

But there is another thing... It's something I don't see a whole lot in pickup video's or stories. Showing some interest back, most guys will just be the cool guy having women giving them IOI's but keeping them completely in the dark. You definetely shouldn't be looked upon as easy to get.

But making a statement of intent: I like you here's why you(r):
- smell good
- have an amazing voice
- have a fantastic sense of style
- lips taste so good
- skin feels incredibly soft
Pick a sense and make something nice and unique out of it. Don't be guy #100 to say: You have beautiful eyes......

Anyways that's all mainly stuff for next time.
My advice with your current situation would be to still try and escalate, hope the whole LJBF thing was just a shit test you failed horribly and that actually likes you. Unless you really want to be friends with her?

It was even before the LJBF zone. You didn't escalate. She gave you multiple chances and you didn't even kiss? If I was her, I would just have you buy me all my shoes nigga.

I've been in the same spot before getting into the game, kissing a girl was a major sticking point for me. After that I realized...there are only 2 options: 1) You get a kiss
2) You get the LJBF or it's too soon/not here speech. Heck maybe even an awkward headturn They get funny after a while.

If you wait and show interest you will almost always get number 2. So might as well go in for the kill while that window of opportunity is still open for you.
