I'm no expert yet, but I've had a lot of success' in the past few months thanks to this sub and it's now easy for me to build comfort and attraction quickly after meeting someone. It's still difficult, though, escalating from first kiss to sex. I try and follow the DiCarlo ladder as closley as I can but If I escalate right after the kiss, I get friction; if I escalate later, say, another date, still friction. This has happened with ~4 girls in the past few months.

I can give examples if anyone wants to hear.

Anyway what's your way of escalating past the kiss? Are there any good reads out there to help me out?
