Lots of PUA's tell girls that they are hot in order to try to move the interaction forward before going to teh kiss/pull. However, I keep reading here that you should never do this (tell a girl she's hot/compliment her)

So i'm curious how you make it 'man to woman' and escalate/show intent if you can't tell her you like her.

What are your go too lines for when you're in an interaction?? You've opened indirect (since a direct opener is basically a compliment) you're chatting, talking about hobbies or whatever, but it's still kind of friendly despite your strong eye contact and subcommincations. You need to move it forward and show intent etc. What do you say?
