Hi guys, I'm a new user to this forum, but I've been reading in here for some months now.

Six months ago I was dumped by my girlfriend through 3,5 years. No bitterness there, I'm over her in a healthy way, and I've been going to bars alot to meet/flirt/close girls.

Now here's is my issue so far. When I'm in the right mood, I'm a fairly good opener. I'm entertaining, and kind of the center of the party (sometimes). I'm quite comfortable talking to HB1-7. So that's where my focus is right now. But I can't really escalate things, when in the fun conversation. It def has something to do with a fear of rejection, but the problem is, that I don't really know WHAT to do besides having a fun conversation.

One thing that I like to do, is to put my cap on the girl, and take a picture of this. Most pretty girls seem to like this, and don't mind me taking a picture. But again, I don't know how to escalate from there. Any ideas on that specific situation?

All advice is much appreciated!

One word brotha.... KINO!

Kino, kino, kino, kino, kino. If you aren't escalating kino, you aren't escalating.

Obviously i'm not the op but I am definitely interested in the kino side of things. I seem to have trouble with it in all honesty and that seems to be the drawback of mine. Not so much the fact of not knowing what to do but the fact I can't distinguish whether their kino is just playful or something more

I think i've got the same problem. It's not that big a problem for me putting in some kino like arm around the girl, taking her hand playfully etc, but I'm kinda having a hard time going from there, to it being more serious, you know?
