Hey, this was my first date one on one with a girl and TRP ideologies hold so much water right now and so much stuff has become clear for me and understandable. I'm still a newbie though.

Organized a date by using the "just text for logistics" method(a few pics here and there).

Talked some stupid shit about school and some shit like that. Constant eye contact from both sides and teasing, but no escalation from my side. Went to a park after that, met my friends there and we sat with them. The girl came a bit closer to me on the bench and we all were joking, I teased and kino'd a bit.

Later, other friends came and we were talking, joking all that. She seemed a bit off, but I continued teasing her. She grew even more annoyed when those friends came and jokingly asked us if we made out. We all went home and no real close from either side. We exchange pics occasionally on ig.

Beside me not escalating properly and being sub-par on this date, have I done anything else or is there anything I should've done?

I'm still young, 17, and I don't want to get worked up over girls like I did before I found out about TRP.

What would you say went wrong and how can I improve so dates with other girls don't end up like this one?
