I'm 18, I'm average looking. One day I got this ad that was advertising Josh Pellicers product for picking up. I think that's how I got into learning this stuff. But let me tell you guys:
for all that I've read, watched, and or heard I haven't had a ton of more succcess.

A few years ago, I would just fake confidence and act cocky (before I even heard of pua) and that would get girls attracted to me for a short time before they realized the confidence was fake.

Then I started being more real, but without the fake external confidence I didn't get very far as well.

Now I'm sort of a stable medium: I joke around, I'm actually fairly confident (still need to work on this but its a definite improvement), and I'm real. But the process is so slow that its tough (this is months and months of learning about this stuff).


Here's a few problems I always have:
- I don't know how to do kino (I've never really gotten
a proper demonstration of this)
-don't know how to escalate (so even if a girl is attracted to me I don't know how to turn a conversation into anything physical)
-i get extremely nervous when escalating (is this just practice makes perfect? Or do you guys have any advice on it to help me)
-I don't know when a girl is attracted to me vs just naturally flirty (though I think I can distinguish a girl whose just being friendly vs flirting)
-I can get dates now (like if I asked a girl to coffee she'd probably say yes), but not with the types of girls I want (not to be shallow or anything).

I've certainly improved thanks to this site, but I'm not anywhere near where I want to be.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all.

Check out this video man:

Also have a look at the other videos on his channel.

He is good at kino and playfulness and escalation.

You yourself said it: You read more than enough books and watched more than enough videos. At this point in time, you should stop reading books and watching videos.

What you need to do is exposure. Take FUCKING more ACTION. Meet more girls and interact with more girls. Socialize more with girls who make your cock hard. Don't waste anymore time on girls you don't want to fuck. Get desensitized interacting with girls you find hot.

The best way to know if a girl is attracted to you is when she keeps on looking at your crotch AND she complies with the following tests:

1. She let's you hold her hand for a long time.

2. When you say, "Let's go." She goes with you without any hesitation.

3. She doesn't pull away when you covertly rub your elbow on her breast and nipples.

4. She does errands for you.
