met this girl for the first time a week ago at a mutual friends house. talked wit her, got effed up wit her, had a very lenthy conversation with her. built some nice rapport. negged her slightly. did a good job as far as my communication skills go. didn't close anything.

say her last night, same kids house. i noticed i was getting some IOIs through out the night. playing with her hair while we were talking, some light kino every so often. little stuff.

it was late, we had smoked the devil's lettuce with some ppl.

it was just me and her and the room with my friend passed out on the couch. again great convo..me leaning back on the couch. we talked about a lot of common interests and what not. a few IOIs and lite kino took place during the conversation again. she decided she was going and i went to kiss her goodbye and she turned her head and said not now...

idk what that means. did she not want to, did she have terrible cotton mouth like myself and didn't want to...idk. but it was kinda awkward.

but my question is i know i will see her again. that is a fact. how should i handle it when i see her? should make a joke out of it? or should i just act like it didn't happen. think i should build better kino and try again? idk. HELP PLEASE

Not now doesnt mean not ever, it means not now, not here.

Act like it never happened... Then carefully escalate again.

next time you see her just act like it was nothing
cuz its never a big deal
she just didnt want to kiss right then
next time try mystery's kiss routine
where you ask if she wants to kiss you

she just wants to get to know you better, build a bit more comfort and kino escalate along the way... throw in the "would you like to kiss me?" in someway after you know its time... n you just got the KC my friend.

Like a few people here said, pretend it didn't happen. Next time you see her, keep doing what you've been doing and don't feel down about what had happened. I wouldn't ask to kiss her though - it shows you're seeking permission. Just keep escalating and you both will know when the time is right.

She said, "not now," she did not say, "no, not ever," so keep your head up.
