Hey guys so I just had a day2 with an HB9 and I'm absolutely confused. The date went great I thought, teasing the whole time flirting, I kinod a shit ton, connected with her, made her laugh a shit ton. Played with her hands with palm reading/ games etc, got close to her physically. But every time I tried to hold her hand, she would pull it away immediately, like if there wasn't a reason for me to play with it, and every time I played with her hair and tried to go in for the kiss, she would make sure she wasn't looking at me.
I'm confused because she was totally flirting with me / giving me IOI's and interested but wouldn't let me hold her hand / kiss her. Can anyone please offer me some advice on what I could have fucked up on? Or is she playing hard to get and should I just try again on a day3? Thanks a lot guys.

By your description it sounds to me like she's into you. It's possible you are simply trying to move things faster than she's comfortable with, and hence she's rejecting your escalation advances. Not everyone is going to be comfortable going from light flirting to holding hands and kissing by day 2. This is not a race. Don't make it one.

Did you actually go in for a kiss and get rejected?

That's important... cause if you're still not k-closing after date 2, that's problematic.

Also important if you're paying... Did you pay?

Free food and drinks and all she's gotta do is turn her head once in a while.

I'd back burner her... show some disinterest and see if she bounces back... Life's too short for that shit.

Well, I just got close enough to build some tension but every time I did she wouldn't look at me so I thought it would be weird to kiss her when she wasn't looking lol. But for the first date we didn't do anything for me to have to pay for. Just walked and talked. I actually sent her a text message last night which she hasn't responded to. I think maybe I fucked up a bit lol. What do you guys think?
(Context is during the day2 I made fun of her for probably becoming a cat lady later in life because she loves cats and has a cat lady sweater, which I made her send me a pic of. When I got the pic I replied with
Me: "WOW! We just need to work on your look a bit...perhaps more grey hair and wrinkles? And you need a new cat lady name...How about Dorris?"
I was trying to tease her a bit, but was that too much? I thought it was alright lol thx guys!

The impression i'm given is you literally read the text book on how to do Day 2s and didn't calibrate accordingly... You literally ploughed through with text book Day 2s regardless of her personality?

I mean it could be that she was in it for the free meal, chicks do it all the time but from what you wrote it's as if you did things step by step without fully understanding why you were doing it other than "because it said to." It's important you know when, why and how to read women in order to properly follow through and close a girl. The biggest need for you is to know what kind of person she is... In it's simplest breakdown you can separate people into two distinct groups: Introverts and Extroverts.

Introverts are the shy and quiet types. Extroverts are the outgoing and energetic types. There's a lot of sub-groupings but don't worry yourself with that just yet. Each personality type requires a certain amount of finesse but generally you treat somewhat reserved women with caution and consideration but with the extroverted you need to be more forward, fun and sexual.
