Hey

Been trying to improve my game as of late, with some success by my standard. Anyway, lately I recall especially four different dates with good looking women by my standard (HB 7, 7,5 and even a 8,5) that got me thinking.

Generically speaking the dates have been as follows: meet out (but near my place) during the evening for ice cream etc. Following 30-60 min. of pleasant convo I've invited them back to my place with some "bullshit" pretext like wine, movie or something humourous like Mario Kart. They accept and I go for the kiss within maybe 30 min. once at my place. -> End up in my bed getting atleast partially naked (topless or more). -> Banged one of them with others I got different types of LMR, still a good time for a beginner like myself though. They have all been eagerly grooping me and shoving their tongues down my throat haha so everything has been mutual.

Now, by my logic coming this far on a first date would indicate strong interest and guarantee a second date. That has been the case with the one I banged and possibly will be with one more. The other two just cut contact.

Any feedback for getting more second dates as well as managing LMR is warmly received. I find it hard to believe, but maybe I'm escalating too hard and even coming across as needy? Moreover, my current tactic for LMR is to back off and try to build up again. Three strikes then just lay off.
