Date advice

I dont think you should drink before you go on the date. It seems like you are basically asking when to kiss her or to make ur move.

Well there are two things that work pretty well for me. First thing is you feel it out, wait till the moment is right, when she seems like she wants to be kissed.
Alternative to that I take the really consensual approach and when its a good time. I will say something like " This is nice, I'd like to kiss you now." and u dont lean in so fast she cant say no, obviously u lean in with interest but where its enough space where she can pause if she decides.

Or u can ask before hand. Like hey im going to be honest, I am pretty nervous. Should I try to kiss u at the end of our date.

With my current gf we didnt kiss on our first date even tho i wanted to make the move. My friends thought she was friendzoning me and she thought i wasnt interested yet. On the second date there was a romantic moment and I just said " This is romantic, wouldnt it be great if I kissed u now?" She was like yes it would. And boom ...

So thats my advice. Go natural or if u can pull off that ask in a respectful way when the time is right. Lots of women love it when u ask. Some women just want u to take the hint. If ur too nervous to act on hints or u dont know for sure they are hints just be a man and ask honestly.
