Sorry skills, but your explanation about fucking at 1st/2nd date & friendzone is limited. There is no golden rule about when to fuck them. My LTR's have very different histories: several dates in two months, after two dates in one week, etc. I do not follow a fixed script, my intuition tells me enough. And if there is one thing that I'm not into right now, it is the friendzone.

And no, you couldn't have land her that date. Yes, there was more than enough attraction, tension etc. But she stressed out. And we all fuck up a date by stressing out at one point. Women can do that too.

I pointed out different things, but anyways i said heavy escalation and/or sex, in second meeting if not friendzone and/or go cold or lose momentum will happened, you are not in the friendzone but she went COLD, and second guessing, this is typical of what happens if you do not heavy escalate to the point of sex in the second meeting... Let say i was you in the second meeting she is in the low point of her life, i would find out why, go into Anthony Robbins mode, address her problem and get her to talk while paying attention and nodding my head without interrupting, then i would give her life advise, then empathy, shoulder to cry on, lift her up, make her LAUGH OR SMILE, change her state, then, then, then escalate...I been here many times, i get these type of problems more than i get asds... And actually this type of situations work so much better to fclose. As i said lmar the problem is not circumstances, is your game.

1. We already agreed on having another date. And I fully agree with you. The "problems" around this girl have nothing to do with lack of attraction etc. I'm not in the illusion that I can force her to love me. In that case, I stopped putting effort in her weeks ago. She has to decide if she has enough positive energy to have a date, that was my purpose of giving her the initiative. I'm not going have another date with the same vibe just because she is moody. And I have sent your reply, and I just added "give me a call when you want to continue our party". Nothing more, nothing less.
2. Correct. But not completely in this case. The advantage of my serious talk with her did me realize it has to do with circumstances in this case. She has a "fake happy" crisis, doing or avoiding things in the hope of finding back an emotional stable state of mind. And our story of attraction dates way back before that crisis. It is a temporary thing, otherwise I would again said goodbye weeks ago. So right now, she's paralysed. It happens to everyone, only the timetable of falling back into the old pattern can vary. Does my timing suck ass? Yup, bigtime.
3. True. And I can't say that she's a pain in the ass, she did little things for me and she sent her apologies. Without that, again, goodbye it was.
4. Nope, not really. I'm a very intuitive person. In most of the times, I can perfectly read situations and emotions, good or bad, and act upon them in a more natural way. Why don't I do this now? Very simple, she's doing the same, this is as new for her as it is for me.
5. I try to avoid the real mental cases. Deep = the combination of social awareness, intellectual curiosity and having a distinct personality.

sounds like my gf, when i met her, lol, she was just like this... But now that we are together it was all along a huge shit test, i am not telling you this is what it is, but all along she was looking for SECURITY, since she knew i was a big time player... Not saying this is what it is, but there may be a deeper issue, that you are not meeting in her needs specially after her ex was a so called "pua". With that being said i did escalate her and fuck her in second meeting, lmar that is crusial no matter circumstance you have to take huge risks instead of playing it safe, i believe playing it safe is riskier than not taking huge risks.

Ok, one problem. She really screwed up the flirting part at the date because she stressed out. How would you handle that?
