Halloween night.

I had a playing gig with a funk band in Brooklyn. It went well, but after the gig I went to talk to some HB's. The first set I talked to were friends of the singers girlfriend so I chatted them up a bit. It was easy to start a conversation but I didn't try and escalate with them yet. The night was still young and I wanted to scope out the area. It was at the bar where I met an HB that introduced herself to me before after the band was done their set to tell me "great playing." I said "thank you" and had a very brief conversation on the band and shit. I thought she was cute. She was probably late twenties, brown hair, very composed and had a type of mysteriousness in her voice. At the bar we talked, I did light kino and built some rapport. I had signs she was into me. I had to go to the bathroom and she went to take a smoke outside the place so I said I would meet her outside. After my piss I headed out side and talked with the lead singer who was also having a smoke. I didn't see her outside yet but after five minutes she showed up. It was here that I should've made my move. She was isolated, and I could've gone for the K-close but I didn't go for it. Usually when I go for the K-close I look into her eyes for a while and glance at her lips. If she holds the gaze I know she wants to kiss and I go for it. I tried to do this with her but she wasn't feeling the situation so I didn't go for it. I'm thinking this may become a problem for me in the future. My question is when is it appropriate to go for the K-close? Does she have to give signs or do you just go for it? It was shortly after that the band decided to leave to the singers house so I left with them.

It was at the singers house where things chilled out for the night. It was like an after party with a couple of good friends. It was cool, I enjoyed myself but I kinda wanted to go out because it was Halloween. There was another HB I was chatting up at the singers place who was friends with the singers girlfriend. I really wasn't into her that much but I would've had sex with her. The singers girlfriend was very protective of her. I know the singers girlfriend and I know that she can be a massive cock-block. To avoid any bad blood I really didn't escalate further with the friend. It was getting late and I decided to head home for the night and along the way get some pizza.

This is where things get really interesting. I was walking with my friend to the pizza place and I was chatting with him about beautiful women and how I need to get more comfortable approaching them. It was there at the corner of my eye I spot a really beautiful HB. I took this as an opportunity to practice what I preach and approached her. I opened with "do you know how beautiful you look?" She blushed and giggled. I then said to her "I love to date women with the kind of style you have." She then asked me my name. I said "my name is i_can_do_that." She then said "I like to date guys that are named i_can_do_that." It was here where I remembered the best way to avoid flakes for a day two. I learned that to avoid flakes you have to be very direct and basically walk her step by step what your plans for the day two will be like. This is what I did. I said "I'm going to take you out on a date tomorrow. I am going to call you at 7:30 sharp and you better pick up. We will then meet at a place for dinner and afterwards we are going to see some live music at this particular place." She agreed and I gave her my phone to put her number in. I gave her a hug and left to the pizza joint.

The date.

The date didn't happen the next day but a couple days after. She called me the next day saying that she couldn't make it and had plans for the night. I then rescheduled for the weekend. I did everything I said I was going to do that night. We met at a place for dinner. turns out we had a lot in common. There really wasn't a break in our conversation. Afterwards we took the train to the place with live music. I was a bit sleepy at the time and so was she. I had no indications that she wanted to kiss. Her body language made it obvious to me. We saw some music and called it a night. I think all in all it went well. I'm trying to set up a day three with her and it's there where I'm going to escalate fast.

I had some positive things I did both nights. But I feel as though maybe I had some missed opportunities. I think I'm having problems with the K-close. I maybe thinking too much about it. But I just want to reiterate my questions from earlier.

When is it appropriate to go for the K-close?

Does she have to give signs or do you just go for it?

What methods do you use to go for the K-close?
