Called up HB7 for a date this afternoon. She tells me she’s not busy, and would actually like an excuse to get out of spending time with some other guy. However, when I suggest she come back to my place for a movie, she says “maybe.” Immediately, I start to press hard: “Maybe means no,” I say, “There are a lot of other people who want to hang out with me today. I’m pretty popular, you know” (Abundance principle). It takes a bit of mock-bullying, but within five minutes I’ve got a yes and an ETA out of her. She comes over, lays down on my bed and we start making out and touching. At one point, she even puts one of my hands on her breast, and then later, puts one of my hands on her ass. We’re just laying around in bed making out, the movie isn’t even on, having a great time.

Then, I tell her I’m going to give her a back massage (normally works, gives me an excuse to take her shirt off) and playfully roll her on her stomach. She freaks out, rolls back over, and won’t let me touch her anymore. She gives me a little speech about how’s she just “not that comfortable with me yet.” Within fifteen minutes, she’s out my front door.

WTF could I have possibly missed here? I mean, when you’re already rolling around in bed, kino escalation should be a little easier than that, right? I'm kind of embarrassed.

EDIT: Thanks guys. This has been a really productive conversation for me. I've got some new methods to try out. Hoping to post the victory FR soon.
