On Friday I was having a pretty beast night. Left my friends in a two-set figuring the best wing move would be to give them space to work their magic. I stalked the town alone and messaged a FB. I pulled her to the toilet, but no go, went for a walk to a car park after. I walked her back to the club to chill with her friends then went out to meet mine. They'd ditched the girls and wanted to game more so I opened this attractive 3set. I believe my opener was "ID's please." In a low and commanding tone. One of them went to take it out but the other two were like "You're not security!" and I said "This street is my club." We jibed on that for a minute or so then transitioned into introductions, brought my wings in. We were chatting and getting along well when my friend pointed over at a girl getting harassed by an old lecherous man. She was beautiful. Exactly my type- short, blonde, stacked... the type of girl that intimidates me no matter how good with girls I get. The girls we were with say he was doing the same thing to them earlier.

Perfect opportunity bro.

I feel the excuse coming... she's on the phone...

Fuck it. I go up and say "There you are!" then put my arm around her waist and say "Come stand here with us so he leaves you alone." Initially there is some resistance but she comes and joins us. He does too. "you don't know her!" "She's our friend dude." "No she was all alone, then I'm talking to her and all of a sudden you're her friend!" "Yeah you're right man. Good bye." "Why don't you go home and do some more steroids?" "Leave now." Then he said some more stuff but I just stared into his eyes until he walked away. Then the girl asked me to talk to her friend to figure out where her Uber was. I did so. The guy came back about halfway. I said "Hang on." And stared at him again. He started shouting "He's gonna steal your phone! He's not gonna give it back!" Then he took a step forward, turned around and walked off. For good this time.

Got back on the phone, apologized to the guy on the other end. He said he knew the situation and thanked me for looking after his friend. Figured out the Uber was parked about 200m down the road, I told her I would walk her there.

Awkward walk. Conversation isn't going very well. She is barely answering questions and only asks me my name. She is compliant to my arm on her back but not receptive. I get her to the Uber and she offers to add me on FB then walks off. I say ok and pull her back, she gives me her phone to add myself. I do, then I message myself "Love u xx". The driver isn't in the Uber but she says goodbye to me anyway and goes to wait near it. It's at that stage I realize the license plate is wrong. I say "Hey-" she says "have a good night!" I say "this isn't your Uber." She reads the license plates, then reads a text from her friend saying the Uber moved to another restaurant another 200m away. I walk her there and she sees the Uber and runs off saying thankyou and goodbye. No hug or anything.

After this I feel like well fuck it I tried to bag the super hottie (personally I'd give her a 9.5) but you can't get all of them... I didn't even feel upset because at least I'd tried. On some level I think I didn't even feel like I could get her and I was just going through the motions anyway.

Went back and chilled with my FB until my friends came back. She was super horny because the public action was arousing but not satiating. My friends came and I left to go hang out with them again. I open another three set and originally target the tallest girl, being the tallest guy. My opener is crouching and really obviously walking towards them, hiding in doorways and behind bypassers then jumping in front of them and saying some Steve Irwin catchphrase. Then I introduced myself as Steve Irwin. She's cold and another one is giving me strong fuck-me vibes and ignoring my friend so we signal the switch. Instantly she is down. Lead them around for a bit then grab her number. She is shocked that I do, I'm probably out of her league (~7) but she is a cool girl and being a vegan will always score points with me. When I opened some dude came and said I wasn't Steve Irwin then started hissing and poking me saying his arm was a snake and the real SI would know what to do. I tried to stay amused instead of knocking him out which worked well, he tooled himself out and built the sense that we were the in-group being entertained together. Shared experience. Then when I got sick of him I used my superior not being drunk and listening skills to lead everyone to a kebab place. She got a vegetarian kebab, told me she was a longtime vegan... thus the close.

One more set worth mentioning. A girl smiled at me, I let her pass, then thought oh fuck it... I jogged over as a black dude tried to approach her, jumped over a wall in front of him right before he got her attention and said "Hey you're cute what's your name." Short set. Her friend actually said she could go home with me but didn't even hear it until after... Weird, like I heard it but was too focused on my aim (get the number then get in my Uber) to see the possibility of taking her home. The black guy complimented my game then left. I went home.

The girl who I saved messages me four crying-laughter faces at ~4am.

Saturday around 1700 I hit up all the numbers. I forgot about her, not even thinking her a valid option. Then I'm on messenger, see the request, accept her friendship and send her back "You too baby x" She replies "Hahaha (retarded smile)" I reply "When are you free?" "I don't have anything tomorrow :)" "Do you want to grab a drink nighttime?" "Yeah sure whereabouts do you live." "(neighbourhood) come over and we'll have wine on the river :)" "What time were you thinking of? cause I live blah blah." "We'll hit sunset around 630" by this stage it is around 12-1am. She says she'll have to catch a train to the city, I send her my address and say we can walk from there. That is a risky move because it's pushy and may blow me out. Her objection is legitimate and offering to meet her in the city/pick her up would have been a good move.

The next day (day of date) she messages me around 3pm "I really don't know how to get there (crying smile) I probably can't take the car so" five minutes later "Any ideas?" I reply about twenty minutes later when I finish my workout. "I have to be in the city around 615, meet there?" This is true because I'm dropping a FB off in the city, she's going overseas soon so we squeezed a quick one in.

"Yeah that would work." "Meet at XX at 615." an hour later "I would have to catch this train?" with a picture of the train trip. I was fucking the FB so didn't reply. 20 minutes later "So is this ok?" fifteen minutes later "Perfect see you soon." Then there is several more logistics messages including a phone number exchange.

I drop my FB off and am running about fifteen minutes late. When I see her I'm calling her as a joke. She looks at me, smiles and waves, then looks at her phone puzzled for a second. Then she realizes I'm holding mine near my ear and she laughs. We hug. We met outside a bar and I tell her I can't go in because I'm dressed badly, that we'll just head to mine and grab the wine then walk to the river. She says ok.

We do exactly that and I give her a tour of my house. This is something I've done with ~10 other girls in the last two months but I still feel nervous and awkward doing it. I feel very clunky and I skip over my room on the way out. When we head back inside I open my bedroom door and point to my bed then say "that's my room!" and keep walking. It is the shortest part of the tour.

Grab the wine, grab a blanket and head to the foreshore. I'm nervous as fuck and can't think of anything to say so I just stare at her 80% of the time and say "Yeah' "Wow" "Cool" etc. There is the occasional touch as we walk and I put my hand on her back to guide her, but nothing else. We sit on the picnic blanket and we drink about 1/3rd the bottle of wine over the next hour or so. She keeps mentioning the weather, that it might rain. Our legs touch and rest together. Eventually I get the hint and say we should go back to my place. She says that's a good idea, we can drink inside.

Once we get to my place she stops drinking and we're talking on my couch. She asks me to turn the TV on but I don't know how because I haven't watched TV in about five years. Instead I grab my laptop and she shows me music from her country. After the third song the laptop is just kind of resting on her leg and she's staring at it. I grab it off her and put some Flume on, she says "Yeah just put your music on now." We chat for a bit and after ten minutes of summoning my courage I manage to put my hand on her back. As in, my thumb, casually as though I'm just resting it on the pillow. She asks if we can order a pizza. Eventually I really go all out and put my hand on her back for real. She doesn't move. We talk more. Pizza arrives. She randomly asks me if I read. I say yeah, I'll show her my books. Take her to my room. Tell her about my other books, how I have a whole storage unit worth. She isn't listening. I go to leave my room and in a flash the realization that if I don't make a move now I won't ever hits me. She walks past me and I grab her arm but it's like I'm a second too slow, so clumsy, she says "What?" and stops. I hug her from behind. I feel her relax in my arms. I turn her around and kiss her neck. I kiss her jaw. I kiss her lips. A few times. She goes for tongue but I'm not prepared and it's a little awkward. Then she says "I'm really hungry, let's eat!" Eat the pizza.

I'm not sure how to go back into the sexual side. We both kind of walk around my house and stand in different locations. When I move towards her she moves away. She is standing near a short stool so I say "Look, I'm as short as you sitting down" and do. She walks into my arms and kisses me passionately. Bear hug. I lift her up and slam her into the wall. I start grinding my abs into her sensitive areas then carry her to my bed, done deal. No LMR. Probably the best sex of my life, we really vibed well and have complimentary styles.

Afterwards we talked for like an hour or two, traded massages and cuddled. So much bliss. She asked me if I was the hit-it-n-quit-it type and I told her the truth, that I used to be but wasn't anymore. We told each other our (real) numbers and laughed about it. We complimented each other lots, I don't know who did more.

The next day she hit me up again. Twice. I think she likes me too :)

Thoughts:

1) There is a certain threshold where you can't even tell the girl likes you because you don't feel entitled to her. You won't even notice her attraction. Thus escalation>attraction. If she stays she wants you.

2) In another sense: escalation>attraction because as a man there is instinctive attraction anyway. You don't have to "build" it. Attraction game should really be called attention game, because that's all it is.

3) No matter how good at this I get, some girls will always make me nervous. That's a good thing. Being nervous is a sign you're pushing your comfort zone and growing as a person.

4) If she likes you she may not be super bubbly and happy, she may just let you escalate. This girl wasn't cheering me on or encouraging my touch at all. She barely even reacted. However, she definitely responded which I never would have know unless I escalated.

Moving forward:

I really enjoyed this girl and will hopefully be going out with her Friday. My retention rate from 1st to 2nd lay is ~90% and my retention rate from 2nd on has been 100% for the last year. Really want to lock her in as my main. We study at the same uni and it would be cool to hang with her.

Besides that, my entitlement has shot through the roof. I've realized I'm in this girls league- thus the reactions of other girls when I hit on them. Because of that the last few days I've been approaching the true stunners. My volume has gone down (actually immediately up because I hadn't daygamed in weeks) but the interactions are tiers above.
