Hi guys, new to this subreddit.

So basically I've had a few issues in the past relating to my mental health and dating / women has been the last thing I've wanted to engage in due to that. Not to say I'm not attracted to women, just couldn't deal with the stress and rejection that comes along with it. Well with a lot of growth and development I've made some big strides and am now in a position to finally pursue this area of life which holds so much excitement and more.

So I stick to online dating, and do rather well with it. I get numbers, organise dates etc. but my success stops there. To be honest it's only recently I've started getting dates with girls I'm actually interested in but I don't seem to be able to make them interested or attracted to me enough when it comes to the face to face part i.e. the first date. I'm an attractive guy, so that gets me some brownie points but it's not enough.

So my question is simple, how can I create interest and build attraction on a first date? One thing I have learnt so far is to date multiple women which helps me not to become overly obsessed with one particular girl who's not that interested anyway. But tips on first date seduction and onwards would be highly appreciated, or likewise if you can direct me someplace to do further reading.

Thanks guys, appreciate any help.
