I have been on a few dates recently. I don't seem to have a major problem with awkwardness, eye contact, & basic fundamentals (although they can always be improved).
My issue is that these 'dates' end up just seeming like a friendly meeting.
I'm unsure how to touch them without it seeming forced for the first time even when I purposely position us in a way that it is possible (i.e. make sure we are right next to each other sitting).
I'm unsure how to show sexual attraction & build it. I give a genuine compliment or two, but that doesn't do much for my cause.
I deep dive pretty hard, they're receptive, but it all seems in a 'friendly way'.
Because of this there is no escalation window most of the time that I can see. It simply isn't there.. we part ways knowing a bit about one another but never to see each other again..
How can I approach/find a way to fix this?
