Background Below average looking nice guy but I'm pretty personable. I mostly rely on numbers game and approach during day. I don't like to drink so I usually invite girls for daytime stuff like icecream/coffee.

Problem I've realized that because of my personality, I get friendzoned often and I have to escalate physically during first interaction/date. I think this has two benefits: 1) No friend-zoning (girl will either ghost or know what's going on) and 2) It is a good way for me to weed out girls that are not open to being physical (with me).

I'm trying to understand what kind of touches are appropriate during first date/interaction:

  1. Holding hands: After a few minutes of approaching a woman and converting into an instadate, I usually hold their hands and I usually go "we gotta skip the streets like we are 5" and girls are usually laughing/enjoying it and usually had hour-long interactions post this touch. Another girl that I was trying to convert to instadate (didn't) texted me later that she felt uncomfortable with holdings hands.

  2. Twirl her followed by a hug: At the end of number close, I typically do this.

  3. Move/adjust her hair: I do this sometimes. Rarely on first interaction but during first date. I think one girl texted me she felt uncomfortable by this during first interaction.

  4. Kissing on cheek: I rarely do this on approach but often on first date (usually kiss closes during day are hard for me, nightgame is so much easier for kiss close and more but I don't like drinking).

I wonder what the community thinks..For me, I think holding hands/twirl/hug/hair are all fair game on first interaction/date and if they respond negatively it is an easy way to weed out girls that aren't interested. What do you all think?
