EMOTIONAL PROGRESSION
Although you are in the comfort phase of the Emotional Progression Model during a date, you cant expect to launch straight into deep conversations. Emotional momentum applies here as well. A woman may love you when you get her number or talk on the phone, but after a few days apart youll have to reignite her attraction.
Intrigue-based attraction a. Definition: She is intrigued by talking to you - you have an uncanny understanding of her and other people around her. b. Done by: Cold reading, IVDs (Interactive Value Demonstrations), storytelling c. Emphasis on: Social intuition and showing dominance over her world d. Characteristically: You talk about her, others, and your unique experiences. The focus is on intriguing her. e. Drawbacks: Can feel contrived as it relies on cold reads, palm reads and often constructed methods of impressing a woman, etc. It is often not appropriate or practical in many high energy situations. Warm and Fuzzy attraction a. Definition: She sees you as an authentic and real person with integrity and a well rounded personality. b. Done by: Storytelling about family, friends, your childhood, and vulnerabilities. The infamous holes in jeans routine is a good example of this. c. Emphasis on: Protector of loved ones, willingness to emote, moving life stories d. Characteristically: You talk about yourself, your family, and your experiences. e. Drawbacks: Too much of this and you can become boring or one dimensional.
Your story should be down-to-earth and real, only sprinkling in bits of attraction as the pepper, not the steak. Show her that you have interesting things going on in your everyday life. At the same time, dont underestimate what events can make for a good story. Ease her into the date and save your wilder stories for later in the evening. She doesnt expect heroics from you, but she does want some insight into your life. A sound role-play at the beginning of the date can set up the evening as fun and casual. This is buying temperature attraction at work. A classic role-play for a date is the reverse date role-play: This is going to be a really fun night but you have to pinky swear that you wont try to turn it into a Hollywood style, all sappy and romantic one on me. I dont know if I can handle an awkward kiss on the doorstep at the end of the night.
Buying Temperature a. Definition: Her state is increased by being around you. b. Done by: Teasing, humor, role-plays, cocky/funny, misinterpretation, games, kino escalation and dominance, Braddock style funny disqualification, etc. c. Emphasis on: Humor (particularly push/pull), pre-selection, dominance d. Characteristically: You dont have to talk about yourself at all - the focus is on fun. e. Drawbacks: This type of attraction is transferable and can be lost easily if you lose momentum. You can also become a dancing monkey or come across as reaction seeking.
This role-play conveys that you will be chill on the date (and that you expect the same from her) and you arent taking it too seriously, and it even hints that you know better than to wait until the end of the date to kiss her. You will have planted all of the seeds of a good date in two sentences. Another fun tease to start off a date is to thank her for taking you on the date. Of course, you were the one who asked her out, but the role reversal allows you to frame her as chasing you in a playful manner. You can continue to thank her when you pay for something or show her something cool, just dont overdo it. The only time you shouldnt be too bothered with attraction is when you have previously slept with a woman. By that point, in theory, the comfort phase is over and she likely will have backward rationalized her attraction to you. Youll be more friends than strangers.
2. She enjoys sex and has a deviant side. She enjoys my touch when I escalate to romantic touching. She plays along with my sexual role-plays. She doesnt flinch when I use medium/large sexual hoops.
3. Shes a generous and conscientious lover in the bedroom. She challenges me when I tease her about being the star fish girl in the bedroom and qualifies herself out of it. She gives an awesome hand/shoulder massage. She demonstrates a knowledge and understanding of how to please her partner and a desire to act on it.
Qualification never ends, so you should restart it at the beginning of your date.
COMFORT
Dating is the act of building comfort in different locations. A woman will not sleep with you unless she feels a genuine sense of connection (comfort), trust, and intimacy. For this reason, comfort is the longest phase prior to seduction. Below are six of the seven tenets of comfort that you want to use. These come from Futures Breakthrough Comfort seminar and they are extremely powerful. Notice how some of these tenets may take multiple dates. 1. Passion/Purpose A woman wants to be brought into a life thats more interesting than her own. A man with a passion and purpose always has an interesting life. Convey yours. Show her that you are driven to pursue your life goals and do so without any sort of hesitation. In fact, regale her with how your purpose has driven you to become
2. See Her the Way She Wants to Be Seen Every woman, like every man, has a purpose that she strives to achieve. There is a reason why she does what she does or doesnt do what she wants to. Find out her greatest goal in life. (This may take some work.) People want to be viewed as how they see themselves in their best light. If you understand her purpose you can give her the most amazing compliments she has ever heard. She needs to feel that you see her as the person that little girl inside her yearns to be. By doing this you create a major sense of connection between you. A man who understands a womans drive frees her to pursue her dreams. Having this strength behind her gives her a feeling of security to fall back on. She can take the necessary risks to achieve her goals knowing that you are her rock.
3. Hot/Cold Behavior Hot/Cold is a form of push/pull attraction that creates intense feelings. The hot portion (see her as she wants to be seen) generates a great pull toward you. She receives positive feelings of attachment and connection with you when pulled in.
4. Future Projections These are easy. Simply make plans or probable plans for the future with her (these are different than FAPs). The more realistic these plans are, the more real your connection will become. Make real plans, not silly, fictitious ones. If she can see the two of you together at a later date, it bridges the current comfort gap between the two of you. Think about it: if you have your second night together on your first night out, she will be more likely to wave her rule of no sex on the first date. This is different from future adventure projections, which are silly and light-hearted. These are plans that you are making with her anytime from a week to a year down the road that show her that you are a man of action and she can come along if she wishes.
5. Emotional Honesty This tenet ties into future projections. You must follow up on your word and your plans every time. Your power as a man in a relationship lies in being a pillar of strength. The only way for that to happen is if she can trust you. Trust is built on honesty. It only takes one lie to ruin your credibility, so draw your boundaries on anything you cant commit to. Additionally, lying destroys all of the good, hot things you told her when seeing her the way she wants to be seen. The simplest way to display emotional honesty is to be honest. This isnt hard if you know your morals and if you are willing to walk away when necessary. Know what you will and will not accept for behavior and always do what you say.
6. You Are Both Reaching for Success on a Similar Path This is the lifeblood of building a connection with a woman. If you instill the feeling that both of you are on the same path to glory, helping each other on the way, it creates an undeniable feeling of oneness for her.
You need to give her proof that you are an amazing person with a purpose, and then you need to show her that you can help her at hers. While powerful, hitting this tenet is not always easy. If nothing else show her how your life experience can help guide her through similar situations. This teamwork works best for shared passions or interests. If you can build a commonality with her, show how your experience with this commonality can make it a more meaningful experience for her. Displaying these tenets will create a sense of trust and connection. A woman needs these to become intimate with a man, and they are the purpose of the comfort phase. However, you cant expect to talk about each others deepest passions for an entire date. It would be too serious and create an unbalanced account of the real you, not to mention being a little bit weird. Try to contrast your personality and convey your multi-dimensionality. People are dynamic. In any dating scenario the bulk of your time with a woman will be spent talking about plain subjects and doing ordinary things. That crazy night you spent doing shots and dancing in the club when you met probably wont be how you spend your third, tenth, or hundredth date together. She already knows that you are capable of having a rocking, fun time on the town. Are you able to be chilled out and interesting when youre at home cooking dinner? Ironically, the latter can be more difficult for many men. The best way to be a normal guy is not to try too hard by forcing comfort on her, and to contrast your personality. You will want to be serious with some topics, such as your passions, and a bit of a joker with others such as friends or hobbies.

To display qualities about yourself, use these phrases: You know what I like/hate... You know whats awesome/what sucks...
The what if... questions are great. Not only do you find out more about her, but you also adopt a tone of screening. Essentially, youre signaling that youre sizing her up in the same way that she is sizing you up, even if the scenarios are hypothetical. A woman is constantly sizing you up and re-evaluating her perceptions of you. Shes always looking for a more complete picture of who you are in an attempt to understand you better. By

CONVERSATION
Face it: you need to be able to hold a conversation on dates, and most of what we do when it comes to emotional progression and verbal flirting comes under the banner of conversation. Painful or effortless, if you practice your conversation skills every day, everywhere you go, talking on a date with a woman who already likes you will be natural. Where you steer that conversation is what really matters. Managing the conversation on a date is easier than you may think. If you follow these tips you should always have something fun and interesting to talk about: 1. Adopt a Frame of Qualification. You should enter the date from the qualification frame - you are screening if you are a good match. Think about it this way: when you go in for a job interview, who does most of the talking? The applicant, of course. He will ask you a question and you have to explain your qualifications to him. He can say one sentence and you will respond for minutes explaining how you would handle something in an attempt to win him over. He feels no pressure to impress you, doesnt say a ton, and will hire you if you fit the company and if the company fits you. Borrow this mindset for a date. You will have to carry the conversation in the beginning but do it only long enough to get her qualifying herself to you; it should flow at that point.
2. What Do You Want to Know About Her? Qualifying a woman is much easier if you know what you want to qualify her on. To do this, know what attributes you require. Here are some things you should write down that you want to know about her: Current life
13
By having a few topics cued up you can keep an interesting conversation alive. People love to talk about themselves, and she will love the opportunity to impress you. She will be able to talk about herself because she has an endless stream of info. Lead the conversation onto things from your list and she should do the rest. 3. What Do You Want Her to Know About You? By letting a woman into your world you
give her the key to build comfort and trust. Ideally, she should be able to go home after your date and tell her best friend that [you] are an [X] kind of guy who does [Y and Z]. A woman will want to know at least the following: What your purpose or future ambitions are and why What your hometown was like Your family/friends/pets Any clubs, classes, or activities you do A scary childhood experience Your favorite kind of music/movies/TV shows
Talking about your life should be easy. You have decades of experiences to share and a lot of cool stories to tell. Write down a note or two for each story before your date and youll be set.
14
I have five wives, but I like you so Ill make some room for you. Would you be okay if you were Wife Number Four? Well, Wife One pays the bills, Wife Two cooks, Wife Three satisfies me emotionally, and Wife Four, well, she used to satisfy me sexually. You can take her place. I may even promote you over my Wife Three if you turn out to be cool. Girlfriends
You can lead into this routine by asking, So, how many boyfriends do you have? Then say: I have eight girlfriends - one for every day of the week and two on Sunday. Sunday is the Sabbath, so I have to relax more. They all get together and share recipes so that they can cook my favorite food, which is awesome. But, Im looking for a ninth one. I know we havent known each other for long, but I have a good feeling about you, and I want to know... Do you want to be my ninth girlfriend? Typically, she will say she wants to rank higher. Okay, Ill make you a deal, but you cant tell anybody... Ill make you number three. Deal? She should agree. You can then introduce her as your girlfriend for the rest of the date.

TOUCHING
The Physical Progression Model of the Love Systems Triad shows how touching works in a progression from social to friendly to romantic to sexual. Examples of Touch Social - touching her on the shoulder to emphasis a point, high-five, thumb wrestling Friendly - your arm around her, touching her thigh (when sitting), hugs, kiss on the cheek Romantic - holding hands, your hands on her hips (when standing and facing her), massages, stroking her hair Sexual - anything past making-out
Often as you progress further up the pyramid youll notice that you can hold your touch for longer periods of time. This can start with hand-holding or a hand on her thigh when sitting, and move to cuddling on a couch later on.

KISSING
Your physical progression must align with your emotional and logistical progression. This means that if you have minimal comfort with a woman she probably wont be ready to kiss you. On the other hand, if you have been together for three hours and you still arent in each others personal space, youve handicapped yourself. If youve spent thirty minutes together and youre holding hands, you can probably try for a kiss. If she says no or not yet, its not a big deal. Try again later. Usually she accepts the second (or third) attempt. (Look at the first attempt as a cue.) If possible, you should kiss her at the second location of your date. The longer you leave it after that, the more it will plague her mind. Remember the frame: a kiss is NOT a prize that a woman gives you. A kiss, sex, etc. is not a prize or favor. It is a natural conclusion. Here are some great ways to make it happen: Tell her: You talk too much - then kiss her. Kissing should be smooth transitions if the physical touching elsewhere has been good. At a high point - Grab her and say Dont look at me like that again or Im going to kiss you. Its really on. Close your eyes. Kiss her. Almost kiss - Say, you know, theres something going on here and Im totally not ready to kiss you, but I think Im ready to try an almost kiss as long as you promise not to kiss me. Then do an almost kiss. Fluff, continue with qualification, emotional connection. Later, say I think Im ready for another almost kiss. She will kiss you. Otherwise do it a third time. Nothing dramatic, but I really want to kiss you.
You wanna go do a shot? o The only condition is that it has to be R-rated style. If tequila, put the lemon in her mouth and let her put it in your mouth. If not tequila, after the shot When you do an R-rated shot, first you do the shot, and then you get rated R. Kiss her then.
Accelerated evolution phase shift - Smell her hair and say your hair smells so fucking good; I am trying so hard not to kiss you.

As you already know (and as weve constantly referred back throughout this book), the Triad Model is a crucial model to understand and apply during your dates. You want to be moving forward through the Emotional Progression Model (for the most part in comfort while topping up attraction, qualification and sexualization). You also want to be physically escalating (romantic touching and kissing) and logistically escalating (different venues, which can be handled in advance through effective preparation and planning). This chapter provides you with a solid game plan for a successful date. Provided youve followed the advice weve given here, the next chapter will make sealing the deal a much easier process than most guys are used to.

MENTALITY OF A CLOSER
Going for sex works no differently than making an approach. If you dont try you wont succeed. Its all in how you view the situation. Think about the mistaken view that women dont like sex. What does that say? If you adopt this view you will think that any advances you made toward her would upset her and create negative consequences. On the other hand, if you believe the natural, human view that she loves sex and wants it, youd be disappointing her by not going for it. Women want the latter. They love sex just like men love sex. Think of how a woman acts during sex and how much she enjoys it. See her world through a womans eyes. Her body is telling her to sleep with you, she wants to
20
A lot of women dont question why they have adopted the beliefs they have. They simply think that things are the way they are. W ith her mind saying hold off and her body telling her go for it, a conflict ensues. For that reason, you have to adopt strong convictions about sex, lead the interaction, and relieve her of responsibility. Ideally, a woman should be able to tell her friends, We were just hanging out and things just kind of happened. However, a woman may want to sleep you but most times she wont help you to make it happen. You have to create what is called plausible deniability.
PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY
Plausible deniability gives a woman a reasonable excuse to relieve herself of responsibility when sleeping with a man. In other words, its an excuse (like one thing led to another) that allows her to backwards rationalize sex. Seed this excuse sometime mid-date. Its better to do it earlier than later because she can mull it over and it wont seem like the clichd, last minute do you want come up for a coffee? Logically, the excuse may be trivial, but thats all it needs to be. Be effective, not fancy. Just
21
Later in the date, R yan could say the following at the last date location. Ryan: Well, I think its time to head home. Come with me and Ill show you how Sonny and Cher fight.
By agreeing to come see your fish, she can plausibly deny responsibility for going up to your place. I just went up to see his fish and the next thing I knew we were making-out... One thing just kinda, you know, led to another and it just happened. Here are some other universal excuses for creating plausible deniability: Photo albums YouTube videos A project you are working on The view from your place Art in your house A pet
The more personal you can make the excuse, the easier it will be for her to come to your place.
22
MAKE IT NATURAL
Like plausible deniability, you dont want to make sleeping with her an explicit, formal process. She knows whats up, but she has to feel like it just happened. When you get into your place, give her a little tour if you didnt at the beginning of the date. Grab a glass of wine and find a comfortable place to sit and look at your goldfish or photo albums. Talk, be normal, and get close. Dont drag the process out too long though. At the most, you need to throw on a movie. Judge how comfortable she feels and start making-out with her. If you are unsure, believe that she is in your pad so she wants to sleep with you. Escalate forward and see how much shell accept. Getting to sex is not that complicated at this point. The typical game plan is to make-out on the couch, lead her to the bedroom where it is more comfortable, and let seduction happen from there.

Stop and Build More Comfort When youre lying in bed and a woman says no, you shouldnt be completely deterred and give up. By putting up some token resistance, a woman relieves herself of guilt or of creating the impression that she is too eager. Women want to have sex, but they dont want to feel easy. Part of not feeling easy is a woman feeling that you value her. Would a woman feel easy if she made you go through five dates before having sex or five hours before having sex? Of course, five dates would make your connection with her that much deeper. However, there are ways around waiting five dates. Another way around LMR is to stop trying to get in her pants, laying back and building more comfort. When she objects, just say, I understand, and start talking about some other topic. Dont pout! Just be cool about it. The fact that you want sex but dont need it says a lot about you as a centered man. After a few minutes of talking things out, she will gather her thoughts and contemplate what she is doing, or to put it more accurately, shell be more comfortable with the notion that she will be having sex with somebody new. It communicates that she is not being forced into anything. Sometimes just giving her space and slowing things down is all that it takes before reinitiating. (Sometimes shell feel so aroused she reinitiates you.) If you keep pushing and pushing an uncertain woman, you wont make any progress. If she is still not ready after you reinitiate a couple of times, dont worry. Youre almost certain to sleep with her the next date (or morning). The night of comfort together can bridge the gap, and a clear mind can be all she needs to have sex at sunrise. Of course, dont submit to your own fear or insecurity, but never do something youll regret. Women face enough pressures in the world. Make sure youre alleviating them, not creating them.
26
The Don
What kind of book would this be if we didnt slip a Jedi trick in it? Sometimes when you get LMR, all it takes is a little extra something to put you over the top. The Don fits that mold well. If youre with a woman in bed and cant get her pants off, simply take off yours, whip it out and go to town on yourself. When in doubt, whip it out. Many women find it arousing to see a man getting hot over her, and often she will want to be in on the action. As long as her shirt is off, you can probably use this move. Usually shell ask you what youre doing, and you can state the obvious. Tell her that she makes you too horny or that you dont want blue balls. If youre cool with it, she will be cool with it. If she starts touching you, you can start touching her. Its like an unwritten agreement that its okay. Some women will start giving you a blowjob, which is also okay. However, some women wont do a whole lot and youll end up getting yourself off, which isnt a big deal. It certainly beats porn. If she sees that youre no longer interested in having sex because youve satisfied yourself, while she is still horny, it sometimes puts her into sexual overdrive! This move, like everything, doesnt work 100 percent of the time, but it builds a load of sexual comfort between you and her. The next time you are together, its almost a guarantee for a close. The Don takes a lot of balls, but when it works, it works well.
A FINAL THOUGHT
This book provides a widespread roadmap and game plan for enjoying a successful date. Use it as a resource you can always come back to whether you need a refresher on the basics of planning and ideas for dates, or if youre more advanced and feel like you need to read over the final chapters again. Remember, humans have been pairing up for millions of years. Its just sex and you know how to do it. Its natural, so handle logistics, stimulate her emotions, and let the magic happen organically.
