Hey TRP

So as the post title suggests, I really need some help on banging this girl, but I need some fundamental advice because I'm bad at escalation.

- Background -

I met her because she was the secretary at the same office as me, but as a rule i dont fuck coworkers, so even though i noted some tension, i ignored it. she then left the company so i started hitting her up and stuff cuz i got her number, so we met up at her place after work one night and then i was like "hmm would be a good time to try and escalate" tried it didnt really take. messaged her a few days later, no answer, then 3 days after i messaged her i she messaged me back and we started chatting again.

- current situation -

because i am admittedly a little awkward about escalating im trying to avoid making the same mistake twice. ive read the sideboards and a few threads on it, but im wondering if theres any advice the community has to offer.

thanks
