To those who believe in 'game' in the traditional sense (basically MAKING someone attracted to you who isn't, rather than closing girls who think you are handsome and are already attracted)

Disqualifying yourself: Do you do this in every set? What are your lines to do this? When in the set do you do this? Does anything need to be in place before you do this?

Disqualifying the girl: (same questions)

Qualifying the girl: (same questions)

Escalating: Say you don't sense attraction, even after 'running game'. You need to show intent at some point but without any clear IOI's, how do you tend to begin the process? What kind of things do you say? Or do you never escalate until you are getting strong IOI's?

(We're taught to 'assume attraction' but every time I escalate verbally on a girl who I can tell isn't attracted to me, it turns out my instincts were CORRECT and it gets kinda awkward fast since she's not interested lol)

I feel i'm only ever doing well with girls who are clearly into me the second I say 'hi'. And the above techniques (as well as cold reads, teasing, DHV stories etc) don't appear to be helping to be honest, so i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong - or maybe i've drank too much cool aid and this is actually the case for every PUA
