I'm about a year in to 'game' and definitely feel that i'm better at closing girls who are attracted to me than when I started (and to be fair, most people say that's all 'game' really is and that it's not about being able to MAKE someone attracted and that that's not possible)

But in certain sets where i'm not sensing attraction or the convo just isn't really going anywhere, I find myself getting lost

I was at a wedding in the UK this weekend and one of the guests had a beautiful daughter there! Like my 9/10

I'm not even sure that she was aware how pretty she is, and she was also painfully shy in some respects, to the point that she wouldn't go to the bar to get a drink or ask the wedding/service staff for salt! Social anxiety? However, she was also kind of confident enough to talk and strike up convo with me and a few others whilst we were sitting around so i'm not sure what the deal is, there.

Anyway, my issue was that I feel my conversation skills are just lacking in terms of making a more emotional impact, maybe?

Like I need some little lines and routines in order to accomplish things like spiking her emotions, flirting, showing intent, teasing etc etc

I was at the bar with her and I tried to remember to tease her when the opportunity came up, asked her about her hobbies and how she planned to go travelling and shared some of my own stories etc, but I was never sensing any attraction from her and didn't just want to blurt out that I thought she was cute half way through the convo and wanted it to be smoother, but I wasn't able to think of a way too achieve this.

I can only seem to do this when i'm getting strong IOI's in which case, it all just seems to happen

Do you have any tips in terms of lines, routines, conversational tricks etc to try to escalate the convo in these situations. I'm wondering if simply bringing up the topic of dating could have helped, in hindsight

I guess there's also the possibility that I didn't do much wrong and I just wasn't her type, and bearing in mind she's not replied to my friend request, I think there's a fair chance that could be the case (and at least I now don't really regret not just making my intent super clear), although I know I could still improve
