Yesterday, I made a post about a situation where I fucked up because I did not escalate enough (https://www.reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/8d8ppt/how_to_seal_the_deal_with_hb95/?ref=share&ref_source=link). While I am kicking myself for missing this opportunity, I am also unbelievably excited because it has brought to light one of the most fundamental problems I have been experiencing in my RP journey.

Over the course of this RP journey, I have rid myself of a lot of my BP conditioning (particularly putting myself and my mission #1). I have become in the top 1% in terms of looks, money and status at my school. While I have improved myself a great deal, I have had major issues with escalating and closing.

I've realized that I've been wayyy too nonchalant when escalation opportunities arise. This had led me to miss out on many opportunities with chicks that I could have certainly smashed (i.e. my Coachella experience).

"XIII. Err on the side of too much boldness, rather than too little" - is one of the Chateau's commandments that I understand on a logical level, but have not yet change my behavior to reflect it. Growing up, I fell under the BP spell of being timid and not to push things with girls, which clearly gets you nowhere.

So, what is one tangible piece of advice/strategy I can use to become a closer? To unlock my inner savage and escalate more assertively?

I have only a few weeks left at university and want to use this time to practice my escalating, closing, and properly demonstrating my desire while remaining outcome independent. Thank you all. I really appreciate your help.
