Backstory
I've had two first date lays in the past month, but have also had probably 4-5 FR++ that have failed to lead to sex and I never heard from again. My fundamentals seem to be inconsistent with HB8-9-10's. The two first date lays were both HB6-7's.

Approach and number close
Cold approached an HB8 Latina at the mall. She was wearing a baseball cap with a local team emblem. I made an observational intro asking if the team was her favorite. She smiled and responded by teasing me about my presumption. My humor tends to be fairly observational sarcasm and irony which she seemed to like and was smiling and laughing quite a bit while we talked. After about 10 minutes of conversation I asked if she had plans later, she said nothing really important. I told her I needed to finish some shopping but we should meet up in 30 minutes and grab some coffee. She agreed, I handed her my phone to enter her number and told her I'd text her when I was done. She looked excited as she walked away.

Framing
I texted her about 35 minutes later, and asked her to meet me at a nearby store. We met about 10 minutes later. I teased her about not having any bags and asked if she was familiar with a local ice cream shop. She'd never been but was down for going. We drove separately and met at the ice cream shop. The mall and the ice cream shop are both extremely close to my apt so I intentionally stopped by my apt to clean a bit before heading to the ice cream shop. I generally try to make them wait for me as it seems to build tension and excitement, but am generally no more than 10 minutes late to not appear rude. Arriving, I tell her I generally sample quite a few before making my decision and as we each sample I taste some then share. She seems to like this and starts doing it as well. I never pay on a first day, so I generally break this fact to them playfully. I said "I hope the price isn't too steep, I didn't want you to be too invested on our first time hanging out. Can you handle it?" She balked at the challenge and attempted to pay for me which I curtailed to show I'm not a cheapskate. It's a really nice boutique-y ice cream shop and we sat near the window. I took the chair adjacent to her instead of across from her. The proximity allowed for subtle conversational kino, and inadvertent leg brushes. We chat for about an hour mostly her asking me questions and me aswering very simply, with lots of silence and pauses to take bites of ice cream. Every now and again I'd ask "and you?" to her question. We talked about travel and I playfully asked if she'd stopped by the nude beaches. She said she didn't know any, and I said that was a shame. She laughed and agreed, saying she might have visited one. I teased her about the might saying "She's totally an exhibitionist," to which she agreed and laughed. The conversation continued like that throughout. She seemed very comfortable and had her legs propped up across from her toward the end of the hour. About half way through I asked where she lived, she said currently with her parents but she qualified that she's had people over and has a pretty nice setup with her own space. I asked about movies and she said she enjoyed a good movie. I told her I was in a chill mood and was thinking about chilling and watching a movie. She seemed open to the idea. Attempting to guide the next stop to her place, I asked what movies she had lying around. She said she didn't own many but had some. I asked if we should rent one then head to her place. She said I was very forward. I attempted to turn it around and remind her she was the one who'd seduced me and I wasn't sure how I'd ended up with a stranger at a ice cream shop. We changed topics for a few minutes and then I brought it back up. I said "So how far is it to your place so I know how long i'm going to be out." She said her parents probably wouldn't be down for a friend coming over.

Roadblocks and fail
I changed topics and then tried for a third time on the going back to her place plan and could tell she was starting to become uncomfortable and my smoothness and wit were fading. I could not come up with a better option, and my own realization that my window was closing wasn't helping. She implied being okay with going back to my place at some point, but I've yet to have a successful escalation to sex at my place on the first date. Both previous 1st date lay's where at there place. I seem to be failing with the comfort building when back at my place especially with the HB8-9-10's. They seem to be much more resistent to my charms. As I began failing to lead the conversation she offered going to the movies, to which I knew would not result in sex afterward but more likely leading to being friend-zoned, I declined. I went silent as my mind raced for a solution on the fly, but she picked up on it and was growing uncomfortable. She said we should come up with an option that wasn't her or my place. I finally told her I think I'd call it a night and head home and said goodbye. She said somewhat frustratingly "Ok, see you later then." I thought I might be able to recover and texted her as I was driving away an excuse about having to pickup my roommate who doesn't have a car. She responded "haha, okay." Told her "Might be able to meet up after though." To which she replied "She'd missed out on some errands and was going to finish those, but maybe another time." I don't think I'll be hearing from her again.

Charming,
...I asked where she lived, she said currently with her parents but she qualified that she's had people over...
I've actually currently got a girl who still lives with her parents. It's good that you got her talking about how she's had people over before. That was one of the first things I asked my girl when she told me she lived with the folks still. You know, something like, "So it must be tough bringing guys back to your place then sneaking them out the back door...even at 25 years old..." However, my girl told me that she really doesn't have guys over there, since her mom is a teacher at a local catholic school. :p So I can't give much more advice there, as she's always sleeping at my place.

I seem to be failing with the comfort building when back at my place especially with the HB8-9-10's. They seem to be much more resistent to my charms.
Regarding this, I used to be a pure "away game" guy. I used to be against inviting girls over to my place as I felt that they would always be more comfortable at their place. However, I've recently come to find that I have much more control over where things progress if I'm at my apartment. It sounds like your apt is very close to the ice cream shop, so logistically, it makes a lot more sense to invite a girl you're meeting at the mall.

A couple tips:
  • (1) Have your logistics planned out ahead of time, so you're not caught off guard on the fly. I've come to find this usually means just already having in mind yall will be going back to your place, since this is in your control. It doesn't rely on where she lives, which in this case might have been the nail in the coffin since she lives with her parents.
  • (2) As Chase mentions in one of his posts, leave your shoes by the door/entry and politely ask her to remove her shoes when the 2 of you walk in (while you do the same). I've recently started doing this. It puts her immediately in a position where she's already more comfortable, there's less sexual tension, and hey, she's already taken one article of clothing off.
  • (3) I like to have some background music going and/or the TV on. I already have several playlists made for this, and they are pretty much all lesser known rap songs, for 2 reasons: (a) I feel like rap gives off a very sexual vibe, especially with the bass up, and (b) I choose lesser known songs because if they are songs either of you like, you/her might get distracted. If they are songs she likes, she might also value you higher (because we all like to hang around people with similar tastes in music as ourselves) and as a result, friend-zone you. Regarding TV, again, I keep the volume very low, and make sure it's on some random channel that neither one of us cares to watch.

Really, I feel like it all just comes down to logistics and having a process down. You sound like you've got a pretty good grasp on many fundamentals. I bet it'll just be a couple quick lessons/tweaks for you and you'll be on your way to having many 9-10s over at your place. With all that said, nice job on the mall pull, then to a meet up 30 minutes later. I'm trying to get into mall pickup myself.

~ Cheers

Thanks for the comments Ryan! I guess I've got some work to do on my "home game." :)

Great article on the baby pictures, it makes a lot of sense. Strange as it may seem I don't have many baby pictures of myself, our family lost a number of photo albums during a move some years back.

I think your comments are helping me realize most of my trouble spots are issues with my own head game. The more I perceive a barrier, the more it becomes one. The more I read through the articles and board, the more it seems most male/female relational issues are the man's for the making or breaking. It's been quite an eye opening journey.

So you did rock solid with this girl. You need to pull back to your place though. If anything reference experience. I always try to pull back to my place, yes sometimes escalation fails, but instilling the pull in your mind and escalating is all part of the process. Sometimes the girls aren't DTF, but sometimes they are and bam same day lays.

I also put music on pretty low, just for noise and vibe. I don't even think it's important what plays, I just hit my swedish house mafia or hip hop station on pandora. I also have my bed in my living room. This makes for flawless natural escalation, the only drawback is women shit test me and ask over and over "you must bring lot's of girls here." Of course I have a logical reason, it was either a weight bench in the living room or my bed. I chose my bed. Across from my bed is my TV hooked up to my desktop computer. This is my full multimedia center with easy volume contol and a tiny wireless keyboard the size of a remote. Very fun, and worth giving a try.

Hey charming,

Tyme and Ryan have pretty much covered it above. Pulling back to your place is pretty much always the way to go if it is possible (and you mentioned that you were extremely close to this location). That was kind of a "doh!" moment for me (and probably you now as well), but I think you'll know better next time! ;)

Also, as Ryan mentioned, you know your own apartment very well. This will give you a "terrain" advantage since you know where and what you can do at your place to move things forward. If you go to her place, not only is she "in control," but you'll have to scout out the environment so you know when and where you can escalate. It just adds more complexity to your process that you don't want to deal with if you can avoid it.

All in all though, this was a great approach and a fluid transition into a same-day date. Keep up the good work!

- Franco

Thanks Tyme and Franco for the feedback! I definitely did not have my logistics fully handled that night. Two updates for you guys.

1) I had my first "at home" first date lay, you can read the LR here HB8 Brunette and Banana play

2) The HB8 Latina texted me and wants to get together again, so I might get the chance to correct my mistakes from round 1! :)

PS. Franco your Kiss technique is brilliant, it went off exactly as described without a hitch!
