Hey everyone! Writing this to all of the fellow people who were like me and skipped over push and pull because they were scared they would come off as mean or just thought it didn't do much of a difference. If i learnt anything about this it's that /r/seduction knows what the fuck they're talking about.

Met this girl about a month ago on an app. Originally just to be friends since I just moved to a new country and I'm trying to meet new people. We instantly hit it off and conversation was going great, and I wasn't thinking about "signs" she was giving out, or anything of that sort, just enjoying the wonderful conversation we were having. Occasionally dropped some jokes about her being my wife (don't even know how it came to that but there was a valid reason lol).

After we left she sent a message saying she really enjoyed it, and wants to meet up again asap, but "let's take this slow :)". She had just left a relationship and so did I so I completely agreed. We've been meeting up approximately once a week, and texting semi-regularly. I've been gradually making some moves since last week. Started taking Kino more seriously, making longer eye contact, etc... On last week's date we were talking about some stupid pickup techniques people use, and I saw a perfect opportunity to make a move. I said I was like a pick up artist and she said "well show me then". Used a shitty pick up line (told her to hold something for me and made her promise not to drop it since it was really important) and just held her hand and started walking. After 5 seconds since the pickup line had finished I said "I'm just going to keep my hand here now" and smiled. After a while she dropped it because of a weird angle we were walking in, and then (I really regret this) I said she shouldn't have let go of my hand since it was cold and It was warming me up. She laughed and we kept our hands held till the end of the date. The best one was yesterday's. I bought her a flower and she melted. She said she had planned something for the date so I just went with it. We went to a museum and on the way there I didn't say anything and just grabbed her hand. She didn't have much time that day so we didn't do much, but we just walked around town and had a nice time together. She dropped my hand to go to some kid's trampoline lmao, and after that we started walking a little bit and to my surprise she grabbed MY hand, which made me quite happy!

I wanted to kiss her SO badly that day, but didn't since she had just gotten a lip piercing that same day and was constantly telling me that it hurt, so I don't mind waiting a little bit more. Tried implementing more kino and while we were waiting for her bus I put my arm around her and just kept it there while we were talking, she wasn't uncomfortable at all. When she left we were saying bye from the busse's window and I did a heart with my hands and a silly dance, she laughed and did the same.

After a while I sent her a message saying I really enjoyed being with her and for her to send me a text once she got home, and a heart at the end. She answered "me too! see you on Friday :)" but didn't put a heart at the end, so I said "pft heartless, where's my heart at?" she answered "Hahaha sorryy, but honestly though I'm really excited to see you Friday" with a heart at the end.

Fast forward to today, I was at a bowling place and we went bowling once, and for the first time I tried to use push and pull. Sent her a snap of the bowling place saying "this isn't as fun without you :( jk it's only fun because of that :p" she sent a snap saying "AWEEEEE" and then another one saying "Well did you get any strikes?" and a heart! Since then she's been sending many more hearts and i've been trying to be more alert about push and pull.

Next date is on Monday, and I'm going to kiss her. I have a small feeling that she wants to be kissed, but let's see how it goes!

Sorry for venting here by the way, but maybe someone can take advantage of my stupid mistakes and learn from them.

Push and pull ftw, thank you /r/seduction !
