I've come to realize that I have a problem escalating kino. I can approach girls, attract them, get them comfortable with me, and do basic kino like high-fives, hugs, etc. But I find when it comes to the moment of turning things sexual (IE - kissing, seduction, etc.) I freeze up!

It's weird because I'll be on a date with a girl and throughout the date, I'll keep telling myself to go for the kiss...but I always find some excuse not to do it (IE: it's not the right moment, she might reject me, etc.)

I'm at the point where it's really frustrating. In one situation, i've been out with a girl about 4 times and she's given me more than enough IOI's. But yet, I still haven't mustered up the balls to kiss her. I think she's super attracted to me and that's why I haven't been friendzone yet, but I'm definitely bordering on it if I don't make a move soon!

Any advice on how to overcome this?

I've had this problem. First stop masturbating. Forever. No porn either. When I don't clear the pipes I take more risks, have a higher sex drive and give off a better vibe.

Second, just fucking do it.

Third. Look for indicators. Example, if a woman lets you touch her face, you'll be able to kiss her.

Fourth, go in sequence. Flirty touching, hug, hand hold, kiss, ect ect

Do the kino escalation. And then your good. Kclose is a part of the escalation, if your afraid of kissing then why arnt you afraid of touching? The other thing is Thats the worst thing you can do. Dont tell yourself to go for the kiss. You know the 3 second rule? same for kissing, if you dont kiss her within 3 seconds of thinking about it your gunna f--k up. Like I used to do that when i had trouble asking for a girls number, so i cleared my mind, and asked, got rejected and realized it didnt hurt (asked her again the next day and got it ). The point is clear your mind, let the sexual tension build. (do what m2 said) and then do the kiss (know when to not kiss, not when to kiss. for example dont kiss when your with her parents XD, if you know not to kiss her there, and dont know if you should kiss her here its probly ok to kiss her)

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like I have to man up and take charge.

How many chances do you think you have to make a move before a girl either gets bored or puts you in the friendzone?

i one time didnt take the opportunity to kiss a girl on about 4 or 5 seperate occasions.

eventually we kissed but afterwards she told me she wasnt even going to kiss me it just happened and that she had put me out of her mind as a sexual partner.

so the answer to that one is idk haha i failed too many times according to her but still got there in the end

definitely man up and take charge. you know what you want, and you are a man, so thats your excuse if she doesn't want to kiss just yet, she will understand. make it a meaningful moment, you should know whether she is enjoying herself, or if she has enjoyed herself on the date and if it went well then go for it brotha!

i think the best way is if you are walking somewhere and you have your arm around her, if you get to where you are going or stop to cuddle up somewhere, just hold her and say ahhh this is nice, then she will soften up. make eye contact with her and let your face show you're into her (soft eyes, flirty smirk). she will smile back at you, make your move here
