Hi Frank. I've read your introduction and decided to look at what exactly your problem is
Sure...girls are out to have fun. And you must make them laugh. But you should not fall into the category of their personal entertainer. That's not attractive. I can't really know but I definitely suspect that your jokes come off to them as you really want them to be entertained by you. Which should not be your purpose. You need to focus on maintaining a strong, alpha frame subcommunicating that you're having fun on your own. In fact you're having so much fun that they can't resist being a part of it. Also I don't know what exactly those kino techniques are because I usually don't do them. If you start kino escalation right from the beginning without any spooky techniques, just naturally it will have much greater effects. When going to the dancefloor... I usually go like this: "Let's go dance!" and while saying this I'm already grabbing the girl's hand and pulling her with me. It fails only about 15% of the time which is about 10% my mistake in my game before this and 5% some other thing... There can be a million reasons at least.
