Ok I've run into this problem where I had a date with a girl saturday night. I felt I did everything right. I escalated and kissed her within an hour, plenty of touching, she seemed to love it, conversation was good, and when we kissed it was very passionate. The only reason I didn't offer to take her home with me was because she said she had to see some friends at 8:30 (the date began at 6). Now this is extremely frustrating because I really don't know where I went wrong. How can you improve if you don't know what to work on? followed chase's advice by sending her a follow up text the morning after the date saying i had a great time and then another one this morning asking to meet this saturday (she's very busy and only has time on weekends which is why i didnt ask to meet the following evening) and still no reply. Anybody know where I went wrong? Help!

It is not you, it is her. Stop blaming yourself.

Sometimes people are not ready for relationship, they may not simply be in the mood to go out... I'm not even talking about having sex with a stranger on the first date... They are closed, the mood is simply not there and you won't change it within the short while you spent with them... It doesn't matter what you do and how sexy you act, she is simply just not up to it...

Also, when you interact with more potential partners at the same time, it costs you lots of emotions, a lot of energy. The person may not be in the mood to exert so much energy, especially when there are more potential partners available. Say she's got 5-6 guys around who are eager to go for a date with her, they keep texting her, inviting her out. Will she go with every single one out? Maybe. But most likely she will just chose 1-2 most attractive guys first, while keeping the others in the orbit...

Similarly, see sees that sleeping with you may be TOO EASY. This is quite in contradiction to what you read here all the time. She knows that you are leading, she knows that you want sex, she knows that she can have sex with you very EASILY, even within one hour - because you already did all the work.. You actually did too much, you didn't leave any place for her to participate. It is great to know it, but at the same time there is no challenge for her. It may be quite boring for her to go to you place... Girls like challenge, they want to invest, they want to conquer the guy, so they can feel great when they "win" the price... Do you sleep with all girls that are throwing themselves at you? I doubt it. You may be too easy...

Another thing is consequences. Most likely she can read you (any guy) relatively well, and she can predict well your emotional reactions. She "knows" how you will react, she knows that you may fall in love with her very easily, especially if you have sex with her. She knows that you are eager to get her and keep her, and she knows that she can emotionally hurt you a lot. Does she want to deal with it right now? Remember, girls are very sensitive, you might be a huge emotional baggage for her to carry. She may even want to have sex with you on the first date, but because she "sees" all the possible emotional troubles ahead, she'll just chooses otherwise... Nope, it won't happen, you are a hot/sexy guy but she doesn't want to deal with the consequences right now...

OK cool, so how do I become a challenge for her then? I know contradicting and having different opinions is good but what about let's say I was late for the date by 5-10 mins, is that an improved mindset?

Bro, these women are crazy, but i would say that you shouldn't have kissed her until you were alone with her and pushed for first date sex, at least invited her back home. Because girls really don't give second chances for whatever reason.

These women do not have your best interest at heart, they care about themselves. An improved mindset would be to care less about her, she can't answer a text, she clearly doesn't care about that.
you can try to text again, but don't care if she texts back or not.

killerman,

You definitely want to save any "passionate make-outs" for behind closed doors. In general, I barely even touch women on my dates. I might touch her hand once in conversation, or I'll place my hand on the small of her back when moving her around, but that's really about it. I'm not saying you can't use more touch, but it's not necessary either.

As far as kissing, I believe there's situations where it should be used, and how it is used varies depending upon the situation. As Money mentioned, always invite her home before you attempt any type of kissing. There's no reason to not attempt to move things to a location where you can do a full escalation before you start escalating. I don't believe there are any exceptions to this, and it is ideal if you can get her home before you kiss her. Once she's at your place, you can easily shift kissing into touching, and then touching into removing clothes, and then removing clothes into sex.

Now, under the scenario that she's not willing to go home with you, then there's a way to use kissing as well. If she declines to go home with you, you can opt to give her a passionate kiss before she leaves... but only for a few seconds. The idea here is to give her a little bit of what she wants, but then pull away before she gets her fill. When you pull away, you can smile and say something like, "have a safe drive home." This leaves her wanting more but getting less. A lot of times, doing this can be the difference between you getting a second date or not -- she knows you want to get physical with her (evidenced by you inviting her home and then subsequently kissing her afterward), but she also realizes you're a man who's in control and doesn't waste his time giving women his passion if they're not willing to go along with his M.O.

Ideally, you want to work on getting women home and then kissing them there. Along the lines of what Drck was saying, giving them too much intimacy prior to taking them home tells them that they're in control, and you're only getting what they're allowing you to get. You want to flip the script on them and let them know that you're in control, and you're only allowing THEM to get what you want them to get.

I'm confused by your advice Franco. I've noted that most the successful puas (GLL, Wayne & Willy B.) have tons of hand holding, kisses and other stuff on their dates. Is that because they're doing same-day-lays or is their MO different and just as good?

Isn't the touch meant to make them feel more accustomed to you touching them and leading them to your place at some point? Aren't you meant to arouse her at all before you sneak her to your cave?

For instance I did tons of hand holding, kissing (she slowly started being more susceptible to my kisses for each time we did). Was trying to frame out making dinner together by her place (still don't have own flat) but she had a friend over and we agreed to have her text me when we could. She texted me the day after and we got a second date up.
Another was the same way on the date with same procedure (café, street- and park walk). She also lived with some people and in this case a bit far away. This girl however seemed more into me but didn't text back. So far I can't see the advantages in NOT kinoing on dates.
Wouldn't the meat be much more tender if you heat it up over a longer time period?

Personally I feel you should be using a lot of touch, for instance one date I sat at 90 degrees to her in Starbucks at a small table and put my hand on her leg near the knee as I sat down and engaged her, she didn't object so I basically just kept my hand in her lap for the whole date, looking back I wish I had escalated the touch a little more to find out her limits, hahaha. But having said that, the risk you run is in devaluing your touch and it's a fine line, I'm a naturally touchy person who regards my touch as something I give rather than take, so I touch very confidently and extensively without really thinking about it, however there are some girls who take this as investment and give little in return and I think you need to calibrate to those. Really the best way to do it is to reward things like her asking you a question with incidental touch and turning your body slightly towards her and acting less bored, and greater investment with things like elbow touches while you look sexually into her eyes etc. I have heard of guys who rapidly escalate to stomach touches and the underside of her breast etc and this does not seem farfetched, though I'm more likely to tickle her or pick her up, since I like to maintain a very physical, playful, flirty vibe.

That depends on whether or not you believe those guys are actually successful! =)

How much contact you use has nothing to do with the instance (first date/same day) and more to do with what level you are at. From what I've observed, if you're a guy who's more experienced and has extremely good fundamentals (solid eye contact, great posture, well-timed sexy smiles, etc.), you're going to have a much easier time getting girls back to your place with minimal contact. There's a definite allure to the man who can sit directly across from you with extreme confidence and make you feel like you WANT him to touch you.

A great example of this type of man is George Clooney from this scene in the movie "Out of Sight":


Do you get the feeling there that Clooney needed to be touching her all over to convey his intentions? Or did his fundamentals speak for itself?

For instance I did tons of hand holding, kissing (she slowly started being more susceptible to my kisses for each time we did). Was trying to frame out making dinner together by her place (still don't have own flat) but she had a friend over and we agreed to have her text me when we could. She texted me the day after and we got a second date up.

Hand-holding is almost always a big "no-no" for me. Remember, you're trying to convey "I want to make intense, passionate love to you" and not "I want to be your boyfriend and take you on more dates first."

As far as other types of touch, from what I've noticed, lots of "touching" on a date conveys that you're NOT at George Clooney's level. If you're dating an extremely attractive woman who's been on hundreds of dates with relatively attractive men, you can bet that she's been "kino'd" to the nth degree over and over again, and there's something about it that tells her that you're not good enough to make her want you WITHOUT touching her. It's kind of hard to explain this until you've seen or experienced it with high-caliber women before.

The big advantage of not using kino is that it leaves that "mysteriousness" in the air -- she can tell you're a very sexual man by your demeanor, but you haven't made a physical move yet. Are you going to make one? Are you waiting to make one? She feels like the intention is there, but the physical evidence is not. A lot of times, I feel like this translates to the girl being more willing to come home with you because you haven't made it overly obvious what you want, but there's enough allure there to get the feeling that maybe you're a "level above the rest."

Don't get me wrong, though. Kino still works on dates, and if suits your style (as Ray mentioned), then feel free to use it. I'm just stating my personal observations, and I've grown much fonder of sitting directly in front of a woman and seducing her the way Clooney does in the video above. Maybe it's because 99% of women have never been seduced that way, and there's something extremely attractive about it (as if it were something out of a movie... because it is!)

Also, I should note that I feel like it's far more important to get her home than it is create a ton of sexual tension on a date. It's a lot easier to take a girl who feels sexually neutral toward you and lead her toward sex once she's over at your place than it is to lay a girl who's extremely sexually receptive to you but still hasn't agreed to go home with you. I put much more priority on getting the girl to an escalation location first; if she agrees to go that far, then it's much more likely that sex will occur, regardless of her current state or mood (which can be changed within a minute's notice once she's alone with you).

EDIT: I believe our Tribal Elder NarrowJ also runs his dates more like mine (with less kino and more focus on fundamentals) as I believe its his preference.

So it comes down to preferences. From what I can see on youtube from other puas it'd be that they do a lot of touch while you guys on GC have the more subtle approach. But now I know why you do it Franco, thx for the answer.

Now I'm curious to know which preference works best when, where and on which girl haha. Guess the more experienced girl would prefer less touch before cave :p
