Hey mate,
ok, i am going to be harsh and straight to the point. You should take it personally (as i really do it to help) but take no offense when i cross a line i dont know off

.
Some things are really focussed on what you have said. Read them, but keep in mind that these few pointers are just pointers. They alone will not get you laid, though added together, they should point into a better mindset for you.
ok, lets take off:
Quote:
background: she's really into me and she's extremely intelligent (potential female PUA i swear to god)
day 2 date coming up because I handled the phone game (luckily) pretty nice this sunday
Me: So what days would you be able to hang out next week
HB8: um I'm not sure. when are you free?
Me: nope haha I asked you. don't turn it around on me.
that line in bold seems a bit douche to me. Probably you said it thinking too much about 'how can i be the prize'. In the start, its ok to have thoughts like this, but actually you have to BE THE PRIZE, you need to know this. You are or you arent. Also, it would have been perfectly fine to have just answered her question. You could have said: "i think i am free on thursday and friday". if you are available, you are. Dont say:'but i am not sure' just to add some 'dramatic/i try to not care/ i want to convey i have things to do' effec to it. If i was you, i would just be honest about it.
Quote:
HB8: well im not sure I might be free wednesday or thursday but one of those days I have an appointment. So how about you call me monday and we touch bases.
(red flag bc I read you must lock in a date and not leave things open ended)
That thing in bold is bullshit. Ok, its not a bad thing to do, but this seems more like hard sales trickery to me. You can leave things open ended. The point is: if she is interested, she will make sure that she can make it at some point.
Quote:
Me:...
HB8: is that ok
Me: um no, bc then it looks like im the one nagging and begging for you to hang out and I'm not about to do that. you can call me when you know when you are free. How about that.
HB8: oh! um... I'm free Wednesday or Thursday. I'm not sure though.
Me: Lets just pick Thursday then. 5pm? I'll pick you up.
HB8: ok!
The line in bold: you wanted to avoid looking like a douche but ironically at that moment, you do seem a bit douchy. In my honest opinion, you could have just skipped that line. It was totally unecessary and it conveys the fact that you are conciously busy with how she would about you. Better would have been:
"you know what, lets just pick Thursday. Check you agenda and let me know in time if you can make it or not. I ll do the same."
In this way, you take the lead in what is going to happen. Leading is an 'i am the prize mentality' characteristic. Be decisive. Women tend to linger and look for dilemma. I hate those moments where they are pondering about what to do, but actually all they want is you to make the decision for them.

old me would of said ok call you Monday, luckily I read some posts about phone game the day before.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as text game, there is no such thing as phone game. Doing phonecalls is a waste of time. I use it to plan get togethers and sorts of stuff. This is just in general, from what i can read, you were just making a date

1) How do you get your self back in the zone of reminding yourself YOU are the prize and keeping your self in check while in with the target. It's ripe for a Kiss Close Thursday. I could already tell I'm thinking too much about it bc I'm posting here.
you are right about the fact that you are thinking too much about it. You think so much about it, that you forget one very important thing: "what is it that you want?" You are so busy thinking what she might be thinking about, wondering if you still are a prize or not. But actually you should be thinknig: what the fuck do i want? I want this date, so i am going to get this date. If she really doesnt want to, its her loss. So you want the date, you need to make it happen. A true man goes for what he wants. A true man is not afraid of what he wants. The worst that can happen is you not doing anything at all. The second worse is that she rejects you. So what? You want her, she doesnt want you? NEEEEEEEEEEXT!!
Who are you? What are your principals, your passions? Stick to your guns and you will be a prize. Have the balls to stick to your guns and you will be a prize.

2) Do I have to wait for another set of three IOI's before I go for a Kiss CLOSE on a day 2?
Setting will be. We're going to hang out at a park, little picnic, some free shows in the park will provide some entertainment while we huddle under a blanket till night time (making sure I don't spend anything on her until I get a Kiss close) She's the outdoorsey type and is not terribly affectionate but loves when I initiate KINO and she'll follow me lead. Any tips for game plans for Thursday to ensure a k-close? what are your high success rate routines for these type of situations?.
thanks in advance

I totally understand the thrill you must have when you imagine kissing here. Honestly, i do. But like any goal in life, its the journey towards it that makes it real, that makes it interesting. In the end, a kiss is just a kiss. What i mean is that you should focus more on the entire interaction instead of that mental masturbation image of you kissing her. If that is your final goal for that date, there is no more room for something else. She might even want to fuck you, but all you are going to do is kiss her and your night will be made, but you could have kissed her AND fuck her! See my point?
I must say, hanging in the park, little picnic, free shows... that sounds very cool, exciting. Its an ideal context for getting to know her. And you should get to know her! Who is she? And not the sort of shit like: her name is Miranda, she is from Cleveland and her favorite color is strawberry white (???). No, start on the surface and dig deeper into her personality. Relate to her if you can relate to her. dont forget, you can relate by being totally against an idea as well, so stick to your guns! Dont be afraid to tell her you find certain things about her sexy. Actually, that should be the thing to look for. What is there in her personality that you find mighty sexy? If you found it, tell her! Tell her straight in the face (if you have the balls to go for what you want that is) : 'Darn, you stood up for your cat all by yourself? I think that is mighty sexy. A woman who can stand up for something she believes in.' Its the best complliment you can give, because it is true and genuine. Escalating from here is easy as you smoothly can say: Among certain other things.... (or other flirty shit) She can either go with your flirt and then the games begin. Or she doesnt react. Then just continue talking, lead the conversation towards more intimate topics and try escalating again. If she doesnt react at all, she is not into you. NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT!!!
There, i hope it helped. If you have questions, shoot! That is why we are here for.
I wish you the best and... let us know how things worked out

cheers!
