So first things first, I'm a beginner. Been reading through some articles on seddit and Mystery's book (I didn't finish it yet) but haven't had much practice.

The story goes like this. My friend has cousins in Canada and he was telling me his cousin and her friend will come to our country on holiday for a few weeks. So finally they've come on tuesday. On of our friends had a birthday party and they were invited. So we met there for the first time. Cousin was HB8 and her friend was HB10. They sat with us around the table and we started talking in a group. Didn't try to game cause I felt uncomfortable while in the group and couldn't think of anything good.

Well things got turned around pretty fast when we were playing some drinking game. Basically you rolled 2 dices and each number had a game assigned to it. So my friend rolled truth or dare and picked HB10. She said she will take dare. So he said to her "I dare you to kiss someone on this party, anyone you pick". So she contemplated, discussed with HB8 and you guessed it, she picked me. So we made out a bit. I was slightly shocked cause I didn't look or do nothing spectacular. Well after that one we kissed several times later by the game too. Later that evening I took her for a walk. We went to the beach, talked a lot, made out a bit but there's a certain moment I want to mention.

We were lying on easy chairs on the beach and she mentioned skinny dipping. I asked her what's that and she explained it. I said, yeah, we sometimes do that too and unintentionally changed the subject. I mentioned this because that was a potential signal, maybe she wanted to go skinny dipping and I didn't catch the signal. In that case if we went, it would be a good bonding experience. Imagine the possibilities of two of us naked in the sea screwing around. So much kino escalation and physical intimacy. So later we just went back to the party. After the party was over (it lasted till 10 in the morning), I said goodbye and didn't kiss her and went home to sleep.

That same day I got a call from my friend. He said to me that HB10 likes me. I was like, fuck yeah! Later on we agreed to go to the movies. In the movies we had one love seat and other ones were normal. Of course, I wanted HB10 to sit me in the love seat. But one of our friends kinda fucked up with a sitting so I was sitting next to her but not in the love seat. I should have reacted and said "This is wrong, HB10, sit next to me here and show on the love seat". This is not that important but it is a slip-up I made. After the movie I walked her home, we talked and then her friend came (my friend drove them) so I kissed her goodnight. But it was lame, it was a quick kiss cause I was under pressure because we were quickly leaving. My fail was that I didn't initiate a kiss earlier, before others came. I should have initiated a "make out session" before my friends came and then just quickly kiss her good night when we were leaving. This would bond us more cause of that make-out session.

All of the mentioned slip-ups aren't that big of a deal. But now we came to the event that changed everything. Fast forward tomorrow. We went outside drinking, my friend promised them we will go clubbing (my friends usually never do it, they just go somewhere outside and sit, drink and talk) so they got dressed up pretty nicely. So we arrived at our destination. It was a park near the beach and we started drinking there. There weren't any benches or convenient places to sit (there was a cement tennis table, we drink around it and sit on it) and you could see they weren't satisfied with how the evening has started. That's why they decided to sit in the car. So after one drink I came by the window and said hi. I told her "Last night, I didn't give you a proper good night kiss, I owe you one". She said "Right now?" I said "Yeah" and kissed her. Pretty smooth but check this. After a few hours, nothing changed and we still didn't go the club. I asked them I could take them, it would be just the three of us but they wanted to wait for the others. Obviously we never went. So later on they lied down in the back seat of a car. Ater some time I came to the car and asked HB10 if she wanted to take a walk. She said she's tired (she was in high heels) and said to me I can sit next to her in the car. So I entered the car, we made out a bit, talked and then asked her "So I can safely say that we both like each other", she said yeah. And then I started to tease her "So now, if some guy tries to hit on you I can come and tell him "Hey man fuck off that's my girl". She said "what the fuck, no!". She was kinda smiling and confused. I thought, didn't go as planned but I wanted to tease her and she smiled so I guess nothing too bad happened. To shorten the story, later my friend drove them home. I kissed her goodnight and fast forward to 2 PM tomorrow.

My friend called me and said that HB8 told him that HB10 said I should give her some space. I was like WTF I was literally 15 minutes with her last night. So he explained that she said I said to her last night that she's my girlfriend. That's the miscommunication. She obviously either heard me wrong or didn't get that I was teasing her / joking. I immediately thought of a way to try to save the situation. I told to him to casually mention HB8 when he meets her that when he told me the news we laughed so hard cause it was funny how she misheard me. Something like that. Later on he failed and didn't tell her before we went out that night. So we came to our destination, we sat and started drinking and I didn't want to try anything before I made sure he said to her. So later on I asked him if she said that thing to HB8 and he said he didn't. So I asked him to say it now. After 15 minutes he finally did it but it didn't went that well he said. Well I unintenionally kind of ingored her that night cause I was confused and couldn't game. And they went early home again this time, she was saying goodbye to other people and when it was my turn I just said "cya" and barely looked at her. She said "bye" and awkwardly touched my hand, like she was craving for attention. So I guess ignore tactic kind of worked. Also later on I unintentionally gamed with some other girl I already know, it seems she's into me cause she showed lots of IOI but that's not important now :)

Fast forward and it's today. We went to the beach this afternoon. I was trying to think of something good but was hesitating too much. Later on we were tanning and I asked her "Is HB8 asleep?" She said yeah and lyed down. I said "Are you gonna sleep now too?" She said "yeah, i'm so tired, aren't you tired? You were out late last night." I said "I was, but I'm not tired... But before you go to sleep I'll give you a goodnight kiss then." She said why? I said so you will sleep better. She said "you'll give me one later". I sad "OK, no problem." (I was using Mystery as reference here. He said not to make a big deal if girls doesn't want to kiss you. You just say ok, I understand and try later). But later on I didn't think of any good talks, there were no situations I could lean on to and start some kino or a kiss, even when my friend dropped me of home. I guess I could do better today but I don't see how. I guess I got too much confused cause of that "girlfriend" fiasco and couldn't game properly.

So to all of you that are learning something from my experience I'll just point out several things. Be wary of signals. You need to check every potential signal. Think of it this way, if you check and it wasn't a signal, it's okay, you just move on and nothing has changed. If it was a signal, than awesome you've just made some points cause you caught it and did something with her.

Be more determined. If you think that the situation isn't like it should be then react. If you don't it would only bug you later on and you'll keep asking yourself why I didn't do it.

If you want to say something to tease her, wait a few seconds and ask yourself if she can misinterpret it. If she can, DON'T SAY IT.

So basically I need a general advice of how to act from now and generally how to act in these kind of situations? Obviously she cooled of a bit, I lost my game cause of the sitation and something needs to be done.
