So I've been going to this salsa class ever since I split up with my Gf of 3 years, and over that time I've been extremely rusty, I have discovered I have quite bad AA and even when I've had IOI's during the day I've not done anything about it, not followed the 3 second rule and let my AA paralyze me.

well tonight was different I got dancing with this girl and she was really forward, dancing a little closer than usual and when we messed up the steps for the salsa she leaned into me, she ask my name first and squeezed my hand as she was leaving to rotate round the room, changing dance partners, so far so good I thought so when she rotates back round to me I say "so when your not learning salsa what else do you do?" and we get talking about stuff she's a nurse :) , she eventually asks what I do and I tell her I'm an engineer, to which she responds "oh my flat mates were engineers they were very neat and clean surprising for guys" so she's already associating something positive with me which i thought was quite good.

so after the lesson she's sat using her phone and I go up to her using the 3 second rule this time and say "hey it was really nice meeting you I was wondering I If could get your number we could go out sometime" to which she responded "I have a boyfriend" QQ poor me after lots of kino and IOI's it seems she was just being nice and the kino was just natural due to the fact were dancing Salsa.

if you've made it this far thanks for reading, I would love some tips and advice, I have read models by mark manson and am currently reading the game by neil struass which is proving to be quite good although I think all the magic tricks and stuff are a bit gimmicky

also how does one develop a routine, openers, negs, etc. does anyone have any begginer openers and negs. The mystery kiss close is genius and I like the fact the responses and outcomes are laid out any advice is welcomed :D
