That was a problem for me too, at least with sober game. There are a lot of beliefs out there, and one of them is that girls are afraid of sex and will run away like you're trying to rape them if you even get near the idea of having sex, or that you aren't a good enough/desirable person to be that sexually open. Another is that if you try to escalate, it will make you look dishonest. You should remember that escalation is honesty, and that the word "escalation" is used for a reason: because you aren't supposed to be their friend one minute and then yank their clothes off the next, its a process. If you don't initiate the escalation or control their image of you as a sexual person, most likely they won't. Not always, I put myself in a sexual frame for my first girl, and she did the rest of the work i.e. she got my number (from a friend) and isolated me, then we fucked, all in the same night (I got gamed lol). Its possible to be sexual right off the bat, that's what non verbal communication is for. What you described in your first post was that you were a person capable of being social, but social doesn't translate to sex. You have to be able to communicate it, non verbally, and verbally.

I'm sorry to hear that its taken you a year, it takes everyone different paces I believe. I'm a good looking guy, not in great shape, but I have a good sense of humor and a keen social sense, but I never believed in myself and that made me come across as a quiet person (I still battle this). I thought women didn't like me because of my past failures with women. I heard about "pick up" randomly on the internet, don't even remember how. Started reading a few articles here and there, watched a couple "live" street game videos, and within a week, I forgot most of what I had read and just went out & had fun, and in that week, I built a connection that would get me laid a week later. The only lesson I took away from that was one word: confidence. I know you don't want to hear that, but its true. You have to be confident that not only are you desired (you see that with the IOIs), but confident in your abilities to escalate and not fear rejection. If you don't know how to escalate, I'm sure there's stuff on here, but from personal experience, there's only a small (and I mean really small) amount of specifics I've been able to retain and actually use in the field. Eventually you're just going to have to do what feels right and in order to do that, you need to be comfortable with escalating and believe that there is nothing wrong with yourself being that kind of guy. You have to try different things, you have to change the pace, and don't get discouraged if you don't get anywhere one night, or if you don't get a k-close. I don't know that many girls who will kiss a guy they just met, you can find them in the clubs maybe, but don't be swept away by these stories of SNLs and think that its the norm. The other side of the coin is, don't think its impossible and that you aren't good enough, that's the quickest way to fail.
