Had a date last night. Went for a quick bite to eat (I was hungry), then I venue-changed her to a sushi place for a few glasses of wine.

The conversation flowed smoothly and we hit it off, but I'm fairly certain I didn't create any tingles. I did some forced things like the "Strawberry game," having her hold my arm while we were walking, and read her palm, but sitting across the table from her, I just couldn't escalate any kino or do any kind of playful teasing.

I'm decided on only doing "action" dates with girls from here on out, since touch is so important, but in terms of "sexualizing" the conversation, what topics do you guys like to bring up to put things in that frame of reference. In my case, discussing sex on Game of Thrones or "dirty responses" in Cards of Humanity didn't quite get the job done... being brutally honest with myself, the conversation we had was what would be between two friends, and not lovers.
