Hey,

Got rejected recently after a date which appeared to go extremely well. Lots of laughter, there was a kiss and she said she wanted a second date. Couple of days later text frequency slowed and got told she wasn't feeling it 'romantically'.

I'm a very funny guy, I'm good looking and fairly smooth but I have to conclude that I didn't flirt enough, escalate physically etc. There was some touching, good eye contact but I maybe I wasn't doing enough/leading enough/confident enough. I think I came off as too nice/friendly.

Frankly it was easier when I drank (which I had to quit) as all the escalating comes way more naturally when slightly under the influence of booze and I never even used to have to think about it. Clearly I'm going to have to learn how to pull it off sober now. Any tips from seasoned seducers would be much appreciated. What are some good moves to prevent this from happening again?
