So I have three dates pretty solidly lined up over the next two weeks. Well, two dates, one is a meet up with an almost-in-the-bag FWB (yay!). Anyways, my worry is that I don't know how to escalate. Or when, rather.

Here's my take on things.

1) I focus on enjoying myself, enjoying the interaction, finding out about the girls more, building connections and comfort (Which I have a sense I'll be pretty good at unless we just turn out to be incompatible).

2) Note IOIs. Don't ignore IOIs. Don't explain IOIs away ("I must be making this up - does she actually like me?")

3) Grab their hand, examine their nails, pat their shoulder, admire their hair (grab the back of their head perhaps), kiss them stupid. Calibrate to the IOIs as best you can. A clumsy escalation is better than none at all (right?).

Anyways that's my take thus far.
