So I went to a party tonight. I noticed half way through that every girl I spoke to only really talked to me for 1-2 min max. I'd meet a girl, and after 1-2 min of talking, they got bored and started talking to someone else. A couple times I even thought, hey it seems like this girl really likes me. But after 1-2 min, they go and talk to someone else.

It wasn't just me. It was like this for everyone! I'd notice a girl would be talking to a guy and after 1-2 min, they would leave and go talk to another guy. It was a party so I thought hey maybe everyone is trying to get to know each other. Nope, even near the end, people would at most talk to each other for 1-2 min. I went to a bar/ lounge after and it was the same thing. I'd talk to a girl for 1-2 min, then they would leave and go talk to someone else.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone was moving too slow? Right? I keep wondering, what if I had made a move on one of these girls after 1-2 min? The thing is I know we should move fast, but I never thought this fast. I forgot which article said it, but you're much better off making a move the same day you meet rather than asking for her number and trying to plan a date later. And I feel like alcohol lowers your attention spam. So I need to move faster right? What would be an ideal move in this situation? Grab her hand? Go for a hug? A kiss? I've never really partied before tbh. Best way to escalate here?
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

What kind of party are we talking about? Is this social
How old are you?

In this case, moving fast would be reaching the hook point in less than two minutes.

typical college party and bar. We're all part of surf club.

I'm 25.

How should I start escalating?

Focus on reaching conversation hook points.

A conversation that only lasts two minutes is either boring or shallow.
Fix that.

Unlike a networking event, there is no incentive for girls to meet ton of people. They should stay longer unless they’re uninterested or something puts them on defensive mode.
