Hi all, I've recently got back into the dating scene after taking a break due to covid-19. I'm meeting women through apps and have been on two dates in the last week but feel like I am having trouble building attraction due to a lack of physical touching/escalation.

I live in a country where most people take the pandemic pretty seriously, so I'm just wondering how I should approach physical touching. What is an easy way to escalate while also being aware of people's boundaries regarding the pandemic? I haven't touched/physically escalated with either of the girls I've gone on dates with and it just feels lame. I'm confident in who I am as an individual (hobbies, career, friends) etc, but I'm having issues keeping women attracted after the first date.
