I've noticed a bit of a trend when looking at my dating history. There is a particular type of date that I always screw up.
Generally what happens is that as early as the first date I am getting a lot of IOIs and it is obvious there is a lot of sexual tension and both of us are a bit uncomfortable with it. The girl is doing all the nervous sexual energy cues such as rocking back and forward in her chair, twirling her hair, fidgeting with her keys or a glass etc.
I try to manouvere things to a sofa or park bench or anywhere we can be sitting side by side and she is usually quite happy with me stroking her leg or squeezing her thigh, putting my arm round her shoulder, some handholding. But in truth I'm not being smooth and my movements are a little jerky and I'm putting a lot of energy into making sure I don't shake or lunge at her.
If I kiss them they kiss me back and are usually happy to make out.
Then it gets late or whatever and she says she has to get going. Once we start walking the sexual tension evaporates. And then the kiss goodbye and the next day when I text them I get a reply along the line of "no sparkle" "didn't feel a spark" "no special feeling".
How do I handle these type of dates better?
Looking back at my more successful dates I see that there is a lot more comfort early on and the sexual vibe/sexual tension does not really appear until a bit later by which time we are already touchy feely and it feels like a natural progression. Or the sexual tension arises in a situation where things can immediately become sexual (i.e. she's at my place or something)
It seems kinda strange that when things get sexual very quickly I tend to fail. Whereas when things progress at a slower pace I do just fine.
My guess is that girls can sense that I'm not comfortable with the sexual tension and my "moves" are not really that smooth and it turns her off.
Any thoughts?
