I have made many improvements in my game since I began reading seddit, but I feel like I have really plateaued recently. I have become proficient enough with game to talk to girls, get the kino going and start with the general flirting.

The problem that I have been having is how to know when to move to the next step of the DiCarlo Escalation ladder.

Now for the [FR]...

Me and my friend started drinking at my apartment off campus while playing BF3 and just getting to a good level. Everything was going well and we were ready to hit the parties around like 10pm. We get to the first party and I make my way around talking to a few people here and there, but not really having any "invested" conversations with any of the girls. neither me or my friend were feeling the first location, so we proceeded to a friend of mines house where he was having a party. I immediately started talking to a couple of girls there while going around and seeing who was there.

Eventually I spotted one of my friends who I had a slight one-itis for a few weeks last year, with her cute friend standing talking. I learned that this new girl actually goes to a Junior College really close to my university and was just visiting. I then walked over to the two girls, made good eye contact with the 'friend', started kino and everything was running pretty smooth. I talked to her for a while, and I had positioned myself so that I was sitting on a bar stool with her standing over my left leg, with my knee on her inner thigh. I started to pull her waist in to me and it was going well.

Up to this point it was pretty late and people had started to leave. Her friend that had left, came back and declared that she was going to be staying and sleeping on the couch. I told her I was going to go home, but she stayed behind.

Pretty much my problem was that I built a good basis for Kino, but I needed to CHANGE something. I feel like I'm missing a key step in the whole seddit process that is essential which as a result has caused me to hit a wall. I want to makeout with her, but I didnt give myself a good opportunity.
