| I've just started studying the PUA game after being in a long relationship, so part of this journey is figuring out and analysising signals, escalation and the steps to glory that I've been so oblivious to for a fair few years. Have a read and let me know your thoughts guys.
Note: I've replaced the targets real name, as not sure what the etiquette is on personal details.

So a friend and I have gone our for dinner and, our waitress comes over, a solid HB8: very cute face, dark hair, great natural tan and funky glasses.
"So can I get you any drinks," she's got a great smile too.
We ask for a couple of cocktails, and my friend pipes up with, "I think I will have a passion fruit one,"
So I turn to her, and ask if she thinks they are a good idea, she says yes, "ok then I'll trust you on this one,"
Later she comes to take our order, again I ask her advise, and she is getting more chatty, "Yeah those nachos are great, I had them this morning,"
"Well you were right about the drink, so I'll take your advice on the nachos - what's your name" I ask.
"Ann." A smile and slight pause, as if is waiting for me to introduce myself, which I don't. "And what are your names," she beams another smile at me (IOI, or maybe she is just very friendly and chilled).
I tell her my name as does my mate. Throughout the night general small talk, often using her name to help build rapport. She comes over a fair amount during the night, sometimes I just ignore her deep in my conversation with my friend. As we start to wrap up I see another table has got balloons,
"Ann, I feel left out."
"Oh why?" She's really animated at this point.
"That table has got balloons but we haven't got any."
She laughs and says she will see what we can do. I thought this was a good test, it would be easy to say no right?
Well 5 minutes later two balloons appear, by this point in the night she exclusively talking to me, to the point when we finish our small exchanges she walks off, oblivious to the fact my friend tried to say something - which makes me laugh.
"I've got you an extra long string and a toy for you," she said, handing me a balloon with a plastic toy tied to the end, then she handed my friend his balloon without a word (or a toy!). More small talk.
When we get the bill I asked her for a pen and in plain view write my number on a napkin. Handing it to her I try to stay relaxed, although at this point I was a bit nervous,
"Ann, I'm going to give you my number. If you want a drink give me a text, if you don't that's cool. I'll leave it up to you to decide." I think as I was fairly chilled she wasn't too nervous, she said thanks, that's really kind, and had more general chit chat about our plans for the night before we left.

So I left feeling pretty positive, I built some good rapport and got what I thought were clear IOIs, however no text. I'm not bothered about the girl as such, but like everyone would appreciate some feedback to help improve my game. Fire away...
