However, now her routine's busted

and I'm gonna have fun turning the tables. I sensed she's playing with me but I'm on to her.
So my thinking - so she wants to hang with me and meet my friends? How can I use this? Right now the level of attraction is not sufficient and I'm going to use our time together to "draw her into my reality" and as you all rightly tell me off for

I will stop being her shoulder to cry on.
I have since being giving the issue of kino some thought. Since she wants to get to know my crowd and do things with me, why don't we do things where kino is a natural part of what we do

So I have enrolled us on salsa classes - we get to know each other and she gets reconditioned to accepting my kino.
From there I simply escalate! What do you think?
