Met this girl. Played it great. She was into me. Took her out on a date, escalated as far as I can which was light kino since it was a public place . She loved it. She called every single day. We went to a 4 day dance festival together. I was nervous on the first day, so no escalation. At the end of the first day, I got jealous about her dancing with other dudes. Confronted her. We got into a little arguement. The remaining days she did not show up. .

I thought fuck it. No contact for a week. She calls, says lets talk. We do, she obliges to what i say its cool. I isolate her. As a DUMB MOTHERFUCKER i fail to escalate AGAIN. I had to go, tell her goodbye in the most awkward way possible, i kiss top of her head then leave.

There are more details, but i think i mentioned the most important factors. i failed to escalate twice, she probably sees me as a beta, or that i do not want her that way - especially since i made it obvious i had many flings before but failed to escalate with her. Plus the way we talked, and the way her friends talked about us was basically saying that we are a couple already. So my question is what to do? Shes no unicorn, but i dont want to next her just yet.
