Context: I'm a 21 year old male. In no way am I a PUA, but I've started to apply some principles that I've studied here on Seddit. This FR was a huge win for me, and I'm proud to be sharing it with all of you.

Background: This is a girl I've been pursuing for about a month now (taking forever, I know, I know) We've been on a few lunch dates but none of them have ended with anything more than a hug. Until now

Lunch: I pick her up and take her to a cool lunch spot that she's never been before (building my value, making me look like a knowledgeable local). I called in our order ahead of time so we could pick it up and go eat in a local park. She had no knowledge that I was doing this.

We enjoy our lunch and are having some great conversations, I'm making strong eye contact, and trying to smirk when she's talking. Kino escalation has always been a bit of a challenge but I decide to escalate anyway. I put my hand on her upper thigh as we talk. Sometimes I push my hand down to her knee, then a little later I go back up to her upper thigh near her shorts line. I figured that if she was doing this to me, I'd definitely be having some butterflies.

As out lunch date winds down, I tell myself that I'm going to go in for the K-close. I use the "Wait" strategy I read recently, grab her chin and turn it towards my face. We share a kiss for about 15 seconds. "You sneaky dog" she says with a smile. Atta boy ColinCush. As we walk back to the car I put my arm around her, grab her hand and put it around my waist. All of a sudden the kino feels natural. Before I drop her off, I grab her face and plant a kiss on her. A nice way to end the date :)

Later that night I try to get her to come out and party with me but she says she's a bit too tired. Easy solution- I invite her over for some wine and a movie. "How about Arrested Development" she says. I'm sold. She comes over, and we sit on my bed and sip wine. At some point I turn on an episode and we cuddle. When it's over we slip under the covers and start to kiss. Our hands start moving everywhere and we get naked. Long story short we give each other head and fall asleep together. I drop her off in the morning.

Conclusion I'm proud of the progress that I'm making with this girl, even if it is a little slow. With the use of kino escalation, eye contact, and value building, I get a little somethin-somethin.

I'd be thrilled to hear some feedback from you guys!
