First off, this sub is amazing. I can't believe how much my game has improved from Red Pill literature. Been making a great deal of progress these past couple months and just want to say thank you everyone here. What a great resource for men.

I don't really have a specific question - rather below I have listed some key points in the date and would like you wiser, more experienced TRPers to shed some insight, advice, or whatever you got.

I went on a date on Sunday night - got a couple drinks with a girl. Great time for us both. Lots of fun banter, shit testing as is expected.

After leaving the first bar, I offered to take the girl back to my place to get spaghetti (plausible deniability). She called my bluff - "what, is spaghetti your key word for sex?" which I thought was really funny. She then informed me how she doesn't have one night stands. Kept it light-hearted and ignored what she said.

In retrospect, my question was good in the sense that it set a sexual tone for the rest of the date and even though it was cloaked in plausible deniability, it helped communicate to her that was thinking about sex as well. Helped prime her mind a bit. However, I think I pushed the question onto her too early considering there hadn't been physical contact between us yet other than a hug.

We headed to the second bar. We sat at some high chairs with our legs inter-mingled, touching throughout the remainder of our stay there. Shared a drink. Then all she began to talk about was sex, sex, sex, and more sex. She wanted to know what my fetishes were and shit tested me with something along the lines of "if we have sex tonight, I bet its pretty vanilla." I briefly told her about sex I had in public. Other than that though generally kept my mouth shut about my fetishes, preferences, and experiences. Felt like I was being interrogated. She did 90% of the talking. Then she informed me that she liked how closed off and mysterious I was. Which I guess was good. But I don't know if it would have been better to open up a bit more about my tastes.

Walked back to my car with my arm around her shoulder. Asked her again if she wanted spaghetti - somewhat as a joke this time because it had already been established that spaghetti represented sex. She refused to get into my car unless I promised to drive her home. So I told her I would drive her. Don't know if this was some sort of compliance test / shit test or just a general need to get home.

She then told me she would eat spaghetti in her bed which in retrospect is so fucking obvious, its humorous. Somehow I missed this in the moment though and continued to drive her home.

Pulled up to her house and made out with her for awhile, caressing the inside of her bare leg with my hand. The start of the kiss was a bit weird since we didn't make strong eye contact. Didn't put my hand around the back of her neck or anything. Just pounced on her without warning. It was pretty passionate nonetheless. I pulled my head back and stopped kissing her. She opened the door and hoped out. Didn't invite me in. She disappeared for a second down the alley way, then came back because she thought she left her phone in the car. Which I read as her last ploy to get me to invite myself in.

I drove off instead. Fuck. Immediately, I though of Todd V's advice, which is to ask the girl to use her restroom - you know plausible deniability to get inside.

Texted her the day after the date with some playful accusations which she responded well too. Shouldn't have trouble getting another date I don't think! But, still am curious - will a girl not want to go on another date if you fail at escalating?

The last couple dates I've had have ended with short make-outs in my car with the center console still between us preventing our bodies from pressing into one another fully. Hitting a road block here for some reason, might be something unconscious resistance within me. Any insight into escalation would help. As I said earlier, I don't want to validate the girl too much just by making out for too long and letting her go on her way.
