hey dudes.
@Draft: a man can look an entire night for signals and not see them even if 100 have passed. you got so stuck up with the goddamn signals, because your mind is so fixed on kissing/fucking, and you miss all of them.
The key point in escalating is having the balls the do it. Yes, you already knew that

. But its the only thing we can do to help you as it is you yourself that needs to cross the line of your own "comfort zone". It is you who needs to "take the risk of rejection". We cant do it for you. Also, all of these routines are all good and well, but they are training wheels. at some point in a routine, you still need to grab your balls and just go for it. This is something i wrote recently to somebody else in PM. i hope it helps out:
There is two things you can do: all mode one (which i like very much) or the slow way. Mode one is just going to her, tell her you like, she is sexy and you wanna fuck her. A more playfull variant is where you flirt/tease her on a heavily sexual side (which i like the best), then just bombard her with the real thing. Imagine if the HB all of sudden would say to you: i wanna fuck you hard. You would be nailed to the ground and horny like melting butter in a heated pan. When the attraction is there, stating such a strong intent has an amazing effect. You feel like the boss of bosses, no matter if she says yes or no, and she will respect you for it.
On the other hand, you have the subtle slow way. In there, you 'escalate' your intent step by step. That means that you play some kind of a trading game. If she does something unique, that shows who she is, you compliment her on it. Every compliment should be closer to something sexual. After two or three, you can state interest, by saying something like: i think you are sexy. And i can hear you say: but i thought this was the subtle way? yes amigo, but no matter what, and remember this, no matter what, at some point you NEED to show this kind of interest and you need to be prepared to be turned down. Normally, if you escalate slowly, there is less chance in a rejection, for the exact same reason as the mode one thing: when the attraction is there, and you show interest, she will only get more excited.
Cheers and good luck to both. If there are questions, please shoot!
