I feel like going for drinks is literally the worst kind of date possible, mainly because you are always sitting oppsite of her.

I have explained this in one of my other posts how I do dates. Mainly walk and talk in the park then kiss her on a bench

I feel like if you are able to at some point sit besides her thats the key factor. Thats when you make the move.

I found I just never had success when going for dates in Bars. I just kills all the momentum also you have when walking.
