I wanted to share a simple tip that's worked for me when I'm sitting across from a girl in a booth having drinks. Most of the time this is on a first date, where I start off across from her as to not "scare the cat."

After building some attraction, naturally you'll drop some interesting stories. In the middle of dropping a travel story (you do travel, right?) you offer to show her some photos of the event. Bust out your camera or smartphone, tell her to "scooch over," and sidle up next to her.

Boom, instant escalation. You're dropping DHV with fun photos of you having a blast in some foreign country or exciting city, you've got a bulletproof reason to be close to her, and then with the laughing and joking that goes along with telling fun stories and showing a picture of you dancing with a circle of Japanese guys, there will obviously be plenty of touching.

I did this once with a girl in Korea whom barely spoke a word of English, and 3 minutes later we were making out. Girls love pictures.

This may be a no-brainer to most of you, but it's a great tip to have in your arsenal if the logistics are there. It has worked literally every time for me. So whenever you go out, especially on a date, have some fun photos on standby, whether you just "happen" to have your camera in your coat pocket, or you have a smartphone with some gems in your photo gallery or on facebook.

Happy hunting!

I like this. I ran the same move last week on a date, except I came back from the bathroom and before sitting back down I asked her if I showed her a picture of "that restaraunt I saw in Amsterdam", when she said "no" I just sat next to her. I planted this topic earlier in our conversation. It could be anything as long as its worth sharing.

Good one. Smartphones are the biggest technological advance for players since birth control.

Sounds good. I guess you can use this in your bedroom too.
Usually girls sit in a desk chair because it's awkward for them to sit on the bed.
you can tell her 'hey check out this picture' and invite her to sit on the bed.
In old days, you had to pull out your photo album but not anymore, thanks to technology.

Like luring a damn cat with yarn. Golden! Thanks for the tip.

Normally on a date, I do whatever I can to avoid sitting across from a girl. It's the physical barrier that kills intimacy; I'll even sit next to her in the booth if I feel I can pull it off. This is a golden move, though!
