I'm getting nowhere, guys.

AA is not my problem. Especially at night, I can walk up to any girl/guy and make decent conversation. (Although I too often end up asking What's your major/job. Does this kill the attract?) I can usually touch on the arm (although I think I pull away too fast) or other friendly, light kino. If a girl says something stupid, I tease her gently. I got the cute genes (thank god) and I'm clever. Girls call me "marriage material".

Beyond that though, I'm utter shit. Push-pull feels like lying--I have to fake disinterest--and I'm a terrible liar. Girls I don't like want me and girls I care about brush me off. Worse, I never say or do anything overtly sexual. In my entire life, I don't think I ever have. It just feels WRONG. I'm sure I should hurrdurr escalation ladder and do it anyway, but she's smiling at me am I supposed to grab her hand and take her outside and kiss her or what uh uh. And then I make like a deer in the headlights and do nothing.

I can only go to one party a week (yay jobs) so I don't have much opportunity to practice. I've made minimal progress, if any, since I started on this subreddit a year ago.

Help?
