Ok so I'm in a day 2 with hb8, escalation from day 1 was just kino leading to hand holding.

So day 2 I continue, extra long hug when I pick her up, arm around the waste, holding arm playing with hair. i even have her sitting on my lap for like 20 minutes and I'm rubbing small of her back, her legs and her arms. So I go in for the kiss and she turns no biggie. Tried again every like 10 min just moving in close to her face to see how she responds and every time she pulls back.

But she continues to let me do everything else.

So night ran down and I am about to leave, she says how much fun she had blah fucking blah, I pull her in by the waist for a "hug" - hold it extra long, look into her eyes and go in ... she fucking pulls away again, and tells me "Don't get weird" I laugh and smack her ass and just ignore her, tell her I'm late and have to get out of there.

She says again how much fun she had blah fucking blah I ignore her and just leave, she tells me "Make sure you call me to let me know you got home ok"

She's texted me about 6 times and I haven't responded.

Any ideas? Last girl that did this a few weeks back I just fucking froze out and still haven't called back. Do the same to this one? Or give it another shot?

There's your problem... STOP DOING EVERYTHING ELSE!!

A freeze out doesn't mean you simply stop talking to the girl. She is going to think you are mad. Instead of keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing for the kiss... Simply be normal. STOP the other shit. Stop the hand holding and the playing with the hair and LET HER COME BACK INTO YOU. THEN go for the kiss once she re-initiates contact. You aren't controlling the interaction. She needs to feel comfortable with you before she is going to let you kiss her. Its a compliance test.

SHould have known better. Maybe I will give her another chance.
