date 3: ??? I’m not sure how to proceed. Is this a shit test? What’s the optimal way to proceed. I’m thinking I should slow down my approach and just do something fun without the intention of an f close.

No, no, no. This is a great example of effective girl game. You're already betatizing yourself for pussy. Dont get strung along anymore. Dont enter her frame. Read more fundamentals.

Specifically as an example, after a few attempts at escalation at date 2 you should have done a freeze out. This usually works when a girl likes you but is trying to string you along. You stop escalating and without acting butthurt about it, you sit back, act bored, prepare to leave or for her to leave. Girls will then often reengage and be willing to put out when they see that what they're trying to do, isnt working as intended.

Women aren't a gumball machine, you don't continue to maintain their emotional interest by continuing to put more quarters into the machine.

You need to push/pull. If all you do is pull, they you come off as needy. Another thing is to go 2 steps forwards, 1 backwards, so every time you escalate, you don't go back to the square one. Read DiCarlo escalation ladder.

The most important thing - Freeze Out

When you encounter LMR, do not push forward. That will only produce more resistance. Instead, "freeze her out" by pulling back way further than she wants you to. Like, she wants you to keep making out with her and giving her attention, but not seal the deal and get what you want. Instead, you pull all the way back. Physically pull back, say you had a good time (very sincerely, avoid looking butthurt), and start making preparations to leave. Now this is NOT what she wants, but she can't blame you for it, because she thinks you think that's what she wants. She'll typically say something like "You don't have to go". Act reluctant. You are saving her from temptation, and it's just a better idea all around if you go. Make her talk you into staying. Then escalate again. This time, she'll think of you as a man who must have other options, because he isn't all that thirsty... he was willing to just leave. Now it's not "how do I safeguard my virtue?", it's "how do I hold his interest?". Hard cases will sometimes require a second freeze out, but never freeze out a third time. If she turns you down twice, she's not that into you, she just likes the attention... she's a time waster, go for real. Don't call the next day.

Freeze out works in two ways... first, it makes you more attractive by displaying indifference. Second, it makes her anxious about keeping you, and if she's serious enough about you, she'll put out to make that happen.

Some hoes have the 3 dates rule, so you don't think she's a slut or easy.

Next time, forget about drinks, go to your place/car etc. Use some plausible deniability and get sexual from the beginning, Tease, push/pull, kino,,the standard game to make her horny. Calibrate and then escalate. If she still puts up resistance after couple of times, do the freeze out, then try again.

If a well-played freeze out doesn't work, nothing short of rape would have. Next.

There are retards here who think that comfort leads to sex, it doesn't. You need sexual tension+dominance.

If she is not up for it, why are you pushing? Its supposed to be mutual.

Sure as a man you can take the lead but if she doesn't want to dance the dance you can decide to back off and see what happens with a bit more time or you can leave her alone. Anything else is rude and selfish at the least.

I always had a rule that I asked once, just one. There would have to be a dam good reason coming form her side to ask again. That's not blue pilled, its just polite and it avoids getting yourself into messes with women who are not really in to you.
