A central part of PU is escalation. Escalation can be divided into three categories verbal, physical and none verbal. Leading is also a form of escalation which is a mix of the above.

AFCs only know verbal escalations and a very simplified kino ladder, the kiss close.

Escalation basics. An escalation can be accepted or declined. For example Can I get your number? HB can answer yes/no (verbal escalation)
What is interesting is that the response (accept/decline) is most usually on the same channel as the escalation was made from.

The lowest risk and most secret society of escalation is the none verbal escalation. It can be done in very sensitive situations like social circles without the common man take notice. Examples of none verbal escalation is prolonged eye contact, be closer to your girl, bedroom eyes, look at her lips and so on (all with sex on your mind). The big benefit is that if she resists your none verbal escalation it’s like nothing happened. You just release and try again later. This channel is very under the radar.

The medium risk is kino escalation. It’s visible for the room what you do. Although the target has lower understanding of this compared to verbal escalation. Here it is important to build up a proper kino ladder (see Vin DiCarlos escalation ladder) with many steps and try to avoid the cliché kiss close as the mainstream use. Since the kiss close can “wake her up” and trigger a flight response, especially if made to early.

Verbal escalation has it’s place and efficiency (reference Alek Rolstad girls chase). Verbal escalation has the advantage that if it goes through it has the highest agreement feeling for her. Be aware that even if you work on a verbal level most likely the woman might reward you on other levels, in most cases bye accepting and staying in conversation.
Final note: Escalation shows confidence but to lessen the agenda factor and stay a challenge try to always use a release to your escalation (release coined in Mysterys famous bait-hook-reel-release).

I think in general, physical escalation is one of the most power, but also the most risky in every way,

Non-verbal is not socially risky, but can be a risk to your frame.

Verbal is different because you are in full control and you can technically dodge any risk! in my opinion at least. But this requires some really good verbal.

Nice post!

What I have found will lessen the risk of physical escalation is to start with holding her hand and holding it far away from the rest of her body. Say for example on a dance floor, you grab her hand/she grabs yours and you spin her around etc to get more compliance. This works because merely touching hands and being led around requires rather little compliance and is also seen as socially safe. Compare this to the desperate guy grabbing her more intimate parts as a start.
