So Im at a point of my social aptitude where I can approach, carry conversation, and build comfort and attraction.

Im still failing at escalation. I feel awkward, like im trying to walk with my shoes on the opposite feet in the snow. I think it could simply come from the fact I havent gotten laid or had intimate contact since my last girlfriend... a year ago. The rust has just caked on.

Just looking for advice, input, or helpful material to get a better grasp on this. Obviously progress is great, and jumping in the deep in would suffice, but Im just not sure how to go that.
