I guess it's just about the chemistry.
When I was talking to this girl, I didn't think about 'I should do this and that to see if she is into me'
We just kept talking and talking since we had a lot of common interests. it was just natural for me to ask her 'hey it's loud, you want to go to the patio?' 'I need a drink, can you come with me?'
'I am going to the restroom, can you wait for me here'?
'you wanna get out of here? let me walk you to your car'
If the conversation is going nowhere and you have to force yourself to ask 'hey you want to dance?' then you can guess the answer....

I guess it's something hard to tell. you just gotta be experienced in reading whether they are really interested....?
screening is the answer
Glad to hear things are working out for you.
If you continue doing what you're doing
- going out
- approaching
- making a genuine connection
- doing things that are natural to the social situation
You will probably end up with a nice little rotation, and possibly a decent long term girlfriend out of it. (maybe even a wife, give it enough time)
Continue on this path, and you really should walk away from game altogether.
Of course spend time eating right, working out, staying fit and healthy. Definitely make your money. Build up your long term assets as a man, and as a human being.
You're in a good place, I wish we could all be there.
You aren't running game though.
And that's fine.
That's more than fine actually, it's a preferable position to come at women with your arms open and ready to receive their joys and benefits. It's how things are SUPPOSED to work. Just having a 1% learning of game - that is recognizing when a chick is interested in you - is more than enough for most guys. And if you're presenting your best self, the amount of eye-fucking and chicks "randomly" bumping into you increases to the point where you wonder about the point of game in the 1st place. The other 1% the average guy needs to learn is logistics.
Game is for the time when you see a girl you have to meet, and when you trying to genuinely connect with her she dismisses you out of hand, without even really hearing you, the real you. But you have a feeling (hormones really) that if you could just get through to her, things would be great.
A guy like Mark Manson would tell you to move on. You don't need to deal with a chick that rejects your genuine self, one that you have to verbally outwit just to get her to hear you. Indeed, a chick that acts like that on 1st meeting is giving you a preview of how she will be when you're not on her good side.
Game is when you see a hot chick, you step to her, you break through that wall that separates random stranger from someone who could become much much more. Game is plowing through her defenses.
Game is when she talks about her love of Mayonnaise and how good it melds with lobster rolls or potato salad, and you connect with her despite hating everything about Mayo. You find genuine sounding common ground with every chick you talk to, because you know what details and what points to emphasize that send "genuine" signals. Your words, your body language, your physical micro-reactions all point to a certain way that comforts her idea of how your body should react.
Game is developing that encyclopedic knowledge of typical girl topics and conversations, and knowing where the inflection points are. You don't even need to know what the reality tv show is about to bond over it.
You're like a comedian, you write the jokes, you know where to pause for dramatic effect, and when to start talking when the laughter subsides.
The comedian, the actor, the politician - he faces a new crowd daily. He doesn't know how he's going to be received. He can't depend on that natural chemistry developing, the sort of thing he could get at house party or in an office meeting where everyone is somewhat friendly.
He has to make strangers into friends.
People who may be hostile to him.
Drunk people.
Bored people.
That's the game.
And a lot of comedians get depressed because there is no magic to funny anymore. Salespeople begin to hate their prospects because they are predictable. Politicians...well you see how that plays out.
Your favorite guy in the game, getting the results you want...read him carefully.
