I've been practising PU now for about 2 weeks.

Approaching, no real problems. I can open sets even though a lot of guys refuse to join me. Last night I was stuck with 3 separate sets of 2 girls with no wings cause all the guys wanted to do was drink.

Most sets hook and I can get IOIs.

It's once I'm in the set that I can't seem to move it to an intimate SPAM.

Advice on how to escalate/declare interest without being creepy/amateurish about it.

I'm stood there and I'm completely stuck at C1 stage. She keeps the convo going when it gets quiet, laughs at stuff I say that aren't all that funny and various other IOIs.

(Also is it possible to K-Close when I'm in a set of 2 girls because as it's generally accepted HBs are found in groups and I'm struggling to find wings to divide the group/distract the non-target)

For anyone reading this, I may have found some solutions in the past 3 weeks since I originally posted this.

First, a good way around this is what is known as an SOI (statement of interest).
The first stage is over and the set has hooked, you're now in a back & forth conversation the way to move to an intimate SPAM is by doing something as simple as using the word 'sexy'.

Second way is frame control, I've also BS'd on about going to Vegas and getting married a couple of times.
I saw a video where AFC Adam showed how he could propose to a girl in the middle of the street he didn't know and within 60 seconds K-Close. His logic as to why this worked was that she bought into the Frame of being married and deeply in love that a kiss was minuscule by comparison.

Third is fun, tease like you're the prize.
In my training journal I wrote about how one night I said to girl while queueing for the bar 'honey please stop pushing, it won't make the line move any faster, I know you only want an excuse to touch me'. I also like to say I'm out of your league, I'm a classy guy I don't do that, slow down sweetie you'd have to at least buy me dinner first.


Amazing what a difference a few weeks can make, I was genuinely stumped by this issue of creating immediate intimacy after just meeting someone literally 3 weeks ago.
