So I've been hanging out with a girl and I've been reflecting on my behavior and the interactions. One thing I noticed is that I break the banter too early. Say you make a joke about her then she slaps you on the arm then it just ends. In my experience you want to keep that momentum going.

There may be times when it's best move on. But you want to serve her the ball, she bounces it back and you do until you escalate and create tension. Have fun.
