Met a Tinder girl tonight. HB7, nothing too special, but she passed my boner test. She also had 5 tattoos (Vince Vaughn was correct in Wedding Crashers- might as well be a bullseye...)

We got drinks at a bar. She was sitting across from me, which didn't leave many chances for kino. However, the one tried-and-true for me has been Roosh's palm read technique- it's 3/3 for me so far. You do 3 lines on the hand- life, money, and love. Life/money you just reiterate shit she told you about what she does and what her career is, but love is where you can escalate.

For the love line, I told her that she met a guy tonight. She's thinking that he looks really good naked, but is trying desperately to hide that she thinks that (obviously this only works if you do actually look good naked). Beyond that, I tapped her on the shoulder a couple of times and that was it. We left, and I gave her the old "my mom taught me this is how you walk with a lady" arm extension and she took it. Some weird balloon animal hat prop we found in the bar on the way out gave me a really weak opening to kiss her, but rejection is better than regret, so I took it and she reciprocated.

She drove me back to my place (5 minutes away from the venue- again, location is key for these types of dates- she drove 40 minutes to the venue- I don't get that shit, but toss up a picture on Tinder of yourself with your shirt off a six pack showing, and bitches go wild I guess). Pre-RP me would've considered the night a success, since I kissed her and we had a good connection. Fuck that. I told her I'm doing some DJing on the side (which is true) and wanted her to come listen to some of my music. Got her up to my room, gave a 2-minute tutorial on how to use Traktor, put on a track, and then started kissing her, and the rest is history.

Some takeaways: 1) State your sexual intent early on the night. If she's not taken aback or repulsed, you're in good shape. Women have a deep-seeded revulsion to being sexually desired by men they're not attracted to, and her reaction to sexual talk can usually indicate how your attempts to escalate will be received.

2) Just fucking escalate. You have little to lose and everything to gain. The moment I kissed her was shitty (outside in public on a fucking sidewalk), but it didn't matter because I had the balls to do it and she was attracted to me. No other way to find out. The moment isn't going to magically manifest.

3) Always find a reason for her to come inside, and always try and guide the evening back to your place- pre-date planning helps immensely with this. I've gotten strong resistance from girls trying to go back to their place, but they are almost all ok with coming back to my place. Doesn't make sense to me logically, but it's what works.

2 month dry streak broken, fuck that feels good.
