So i'm talking to this HB at a bonfire night. We talk for ages and have a really fun conversation and she is actually smart and we get onto some really interesting topics. Then suddenly she says "you're a really nice guy".

Does this mean
1. I've been put into the LJBF's zone, or
2. She is complimenting me because she likes me ?

I ended up getting her facebook, because my friends really wanted to go home. It was a really good interaction, I used a few negs which were excellent and got the kind of reaction I wanted. I complimented her intelligence. I brought up a lot of random conversational threads and she was really fun to talk to.

So to sum it up:
Attraction = Yes
Isolation = Yes
Kino = Not enough
Escalation = Fail

When a HB says you seem like a really nice guy, you repy with
"Yeah, i am a nice guy, but a devil from the waist down" giver her a wink and walk away. Return later and initiate kino

I get this a lot. I'm the classic "nice guy", and it's something I'm constantly working on.

My opinion is that you're probably somewhere in between 1 and 2.

I'm interested to see what other posters have to say though.

Its ok for a girl to think you are a nice guy, but more often then not you are heading for the dreaded friend zone.

Your biggest mistake in the set was not using kino escalation. This can start off so small...i mean even just brushing your arm against hers by "accident". The key to this is recognizing when she is comfortable with what you are doing and when she is not. When she is, you escalate to the next move. When she isn't, take a step back and then slowly work up to it again.

Not using kino in isolation is a 90% guarantee that you will end in the friend zone, regardless of how great the conversation is.

Its a compliment...

You reply with:

1. Thanks.

2. I might not be as good as I seem.

3. Yeah, I try my best.

bbardot: you just reminded me about porn

In this situation it sounds good, depending on the state of buying temperature and attraction when she started calling you nice. If she was giving you IOIs it doesn't seem like you're in the friend zone. Stalling at an escalation level without kino plowing can drop buying temperature and attraction really fast so if your stall preceded the nice-guy talk then you may have damage to control.
