pancakemouse said:There's a lot more advanced stuff I do, but this is the basic framework I recommend for beginners:
Setting the Date
Determine archetype and her level of formality.
Younger and more casual → grab a boba/coffee/slice of pizza and go to a park bench
Older and more formal → go to a nice bar or lively café (must have background music to allow for a private atmosphere)
The venue should be as close to your place as possible. If the girl tries to snatch the frame and make you meet near her, or meet in the middle, move on to the next one, as you're dealing with a timewaster.
Do not do event dates or sit-down restaurant dates under any circumstance.
Pre-Date
Day of, send her a short, non-needy anti-flake text, like “looking forward to tonight ;-)” or “is it drinks time yet?”
60 to 30 minutes before, text her to let her know your ETA when she’s on her way. Arrive a few minutes before she does to scope the venue to account for any incontingencies.
Greeting and Intro
As she’s arriving, you should be standing and maintaining eye contact with her. Don’t let her shake hands, make it very clear you’re going to hug her. As you hug, gauge her physical compliance level. Does she let it rest, or quickly pull away? This sets the tone for what you’re going to need to do on the date. If she lets it rest and seems compliant, you can even move your hands down her sides and have them rest on her hips. Then you can stand there for a bit talking to her maintaining that contact. Only 1 out of 10 girls will be OK with this level of physicality right away.
Pull away and order a drink for each of you. Pay the tab on the spot so you don’t need to close out at the end.
Ideally, sit next to her, but if you can't, don't force it. Once you gain more compliance, you can ask her to come sit closer to you.
Subcommunication
You should maintain laser eye contact with squinting slayer eyes, looking away sometimes if she's a value girl.
Your tonality should be slow, with a low, masculine voice. Don't project loudly or overly react to things she's saying. Talk cool, calm, collected, masculine. No uptalk.
You should be leaning back and staying loose. Leaning in is a sign of supplication. Make it look natural, not posed. Make it look like you own the venue.
When silences happen, that's your opportunity to really crank up the subcomms. Move closer. Intensify eye contact. Also a great opportunity to do the "Stop staring at my lips!" bantery stuff.
Get to Know Each Other
Slowly start getting to know her. Good topics include FORD questions: family, occupation, recreation, and dreams. Avoid religion and politics. When she answers a question, don’t just jump right into another question. Respond with your own experience, challenge her on your response, or go deeper: “Why did you…”, “How did you…” You can tease sparingly during this part, but don’t overtease.
Physically, you should be holding strong eye contact this entire time. Do as much kino as possible.
Pull Pre-Seed
Around now, you should pre-seed whatever your pull excuse is. If it's your rooftop, talk about how you got your apartment, and how it's pretty cool, and how you have a rooftop. Don't mention anything about her going to the rooftop yet. The point is just to warm her up to the idea and have her imagine herself there. Don't oversell it.
Ramp it Up
At this point, steer the conversation more towards sexual topics. Good drop-in questions for this are: "So how are the guys in <your city> treating you?" or "Have you been in a relationship recently?" but there are many more ideas, just be creative.
From here, read what type of relationship she traditionally has been in. Whatever she answers, tacitly agree, but bring the frame more towards your goal. If she's a casual girl, you're down for casual. If she's a serious girl, you're down for serious, but make sure to mention you're really big on physical chemistry and (if you're there yet) how relationships without great sex don't work out. You can soften this last part by telling it as a past story rather than directly stating it.
If she's compliant to sex talk, move into this part. Talk about preferences, figure out if she's submissive, etc. As always, you can soften this by share some of your past stories and experiences so you don't have to be so direct about it. Talking about a "friend" doing it can abstract it even further, for girls who are less comfortable.
During this portion. You really have to sense whether she's comfortable and back off if she thinks you're being creepy. If you she starts getting a bit reluctant to answer: "It's OK, we're just two open and honest adults having a conversation, there's no judgement here."
Pull Seed
During or after this portion, seed the actual pull. Mention whatever your pull excuse is, and future project you and her being there, but add a disqualifier, something like "I don't know if I know you enough yet" or "I don't know if you're ready yet". You want her to be qualifying that she is ready to pull. If she doesn't bite, you know you have more comfort to build. If she bites, just say something vague like "We'll see".
Back to Comfort Building
You don't want to keep talking about sex, so ramp it back to deeper, non-sexual topics for as long as you need to build comfort.
On a high note, pitch the pull you seeded earlier. You can act like she's totally won you over and deserves to come.
If she's hesitant, add a disqualifier to steal her objections from her, like "We can only stay for 20 minutes" or "You have to promise not to keep me up late because I have a bedtime". If she still throws up objections, try and handle them as best as possible. Keep persisting until you get a no.
If she's compliant, don't waste any time. Say "Let's go" and get the hell out of there before she can change her mind.
If it takes time to get back to your place, fill it with absolutely ridiculous banter to keep her forebrain off the fact that sex might be happening.
As soon as you're through the door, you've pulled, and the rest, my friend, is home game.
Other Considerations
Social Proof
If you're in a bar or lounge, treat the staff with respect. Learn their names, ideally beforehand. It's nice to have a regular place on lock where everyone knows you and you get excellent service.
Multiple Venues?
Another thing guys are obsessed with is doing two or three venues on a date. This is an old school method, overcomplicated, and not needed. Your framework should be getting from the initial meet to the sex location, without anything in between.
The only time a second venue might be needed is if you feel like a change of scenery and she isn't quite ready to pull yet. In this case, a park or a walk around the neighborhood is just as good as any bar.
To Kiss or Not To Kiss
Beginners are obsessed with the idea of "making out" on dates, but it's actually suboptimal in every way. For one, many girls won't be comfortable with public displays of affection. Two, there's the chance you could get rejected early, and three, kissing destroys tension.
Better than making out is teasing the makeout by building tension, but not actually giving her the pleasure of kissing you. Kissing relieves tension, when your actual goal should be building tension towards the pull. There are many other, more subtle ways of building tension other than kissing.
If you're an ultra-beginner and you struggle with getting sexual, you can try kissing on some dates just to break you out of your shell, but long term it's better to wait until you're in a private location.

Agreed with literally everything you said except this part. I think I'd pay any amount of initial awkwardness to force sitting close. I think my success rate on dates is directly proportional to sitting distance.

Hydro said:Bro do you have an article or post about this? or did you just type this?
Is there a way to save certain comments so that we can get back to them so when I start dating i can go back to this guide?
Zug said:pancakemouse said:Ideally, sit next to her, but if you can't, don't force it. Once you gain more compliance, you can ask her to come sit closer to you.
Agreed with literally everything you said except this part. I think I'd pay any amount of initial awkwardness to force sitting close. I think my success rate on dates is directly proportional to sitting distance.
If she tries to sit across from me, I will always say something like "No, no no no, we're not here for a job interview."
if she sits way too far from me to close the gap with a couple inches, I will say something like "Are you saving a spot for your friend?"
IMO, there is no higher form of sexual tension than a near intimate level of physical proximity, even platonically.
Your tips on pre-seed, seed, qualified pull are great. I need to implement these. I know this is one of the weakest parts of my game, but I've been skirting by on luck and sitting extremely close.
Do you really like sexual kino? I find it to be super awkward and less intense than semi platonic type kino. e.g. have her show me her rings, bracelets, necklace, tatts, hands and having physical contact for a few seconds combined with some short silent direct eye contact after. It feels more intense than sexual kino you do in the background why distracting her forebrain.
Bman said:For my own personal gain, would you mind elaborating on this? What ways would you build the tension and imply you want to kiss her, but tease it instead and not deliver the kiss? Especially at that moment at the end of the date when they are expecting it the most.
