Hello Reddit world.

I guess let me start off with the basics, I'm a guy, in college, and I'd say good looking at least. That being said, I'm not looking for tips on pickup with this post. I honestly like getting to know and talking to all the women I approach, it's just the ones I do wanna pickup, I can't get the conversation where I want it. so, there are a few aspects in my game I struggle with and was hoping to get some tips.

I'm usually a pretty outgoing person, and I enjoy getting the chance to go out and daygame when I can. Now at night, when I've got a few drinks in me, the girls seem to come to me a lot easier than in the day when I'm sober. Problem is, when I'm sober I can't fucking escalate the conversation.

You know what I'm talking about. Escalation. Going from the stupid top scraping small talk that pretty much everyone genuinely hates deep down to a more suggestive and seductive conversation. Now like I mentioned earlier this isn't always a problem, because 70% of the time when I've been drinking, I don't have an issue with this.

My issue is moving to the escalation of the conversation when I'm sober, i just don't know how to do it. It sucks when I can tell a girl's interested when I'm out and about but I just can't take it to the next level in that conversation. and it's like I get bored of the small talk before even she does. So I guess my question would be if anyone has any tips to offer for this situation? thanks.
