So after having received some tips on this forum about my current situation (me and this girl have been casually friends for some years but I asked her out about about half a year ago and she friendzoned me because she had a major crush on someone else. We grew a lot closer as friends though since that happened. I understand she needs to start seeing me as an attractive and sexual man instead of as a friend so the next time I'm in the pub I'd like to do some things outside of my comfort zone with her (I'm usually a shy, nice guy who isn't used to flirting at all) to make her see me less as a friend and more as a possible date or something similar. I believe you call it kino escalation. She has a special place reserved for guys that are jerks though so I won't even think about hitting on other girls in her vicinity (believe me, she doesn't work like that).

Could someone give me some concrete ideas on how to be a little bit more flirty with her and be able to touch her and build attraction without scaring her away? I'm not looking for a ONS/lay, I'm on the hunt for a serious relationship. We're both 16.

16 and going to pubs?

You need to just look into kino techniques bro. Tons of threads on here about that topic with very useful techniques and tips. Look them up.

Just be a douche bag, flirt with other girls, don't give a fuck about her.
The moment you stop trying to please her like a little bitch she will start seeing you as a man.
