Hey guys, so I'm going on a Day 2 tomorrow (or Day 1 technically) with a girl I pulled off of tinder. We're going on a hike in the afternoon followed by lunch. I am a very active person but don't really hike so I'm not too sure what to expect. I am wondering though ways I can kino on this date? Like I obviously want to escalate and keep things fun and flirty, but at the same time I don't want to be creepy and weird. Any thoughts on how I should approach this?

Think "playful". Lots of pushing each other, elbows, teasing, placing your hand on her back. Try snatching something from her hand having her wrestle it back from you.

Then shove your hand down her pants and finger her in a side trail. Just a thought.

I always take girls hiking, I actually have a hiking day 2 lined up later this week. Lots of opportunities to get touchy feely. If you are leading and you come to a tough to navigate incline casually stick out your hand and help her out. Use your hands to help guide her places etc. Just make sure you plan you hike around a stopping point, such as an overlook, in front of a lake etc. This way you have a chance to sit, talk, and if the situation calls for it, make moves. Good luck

Also make sure you have a backup plan in case of rain and make her aware of it.

Thanks for the advice man. I never got a chance to look at this before I went on the date today. All great ideas you gave me and I regret to say that I didn't do any of them naturally. The hike did lead to a beautiful overlook and we sat together and talked for a while. But there were lots of people around and a K-close opportunity never really presented itself. At the same time, I didn't force the issue either considering we just met officially and I didn't want to come off as creepy. Overall I didn't get in much kino throughout the date and I'm disappointed about it. Didn't get the K-close either, but my goal is obviously to try and get her out again but at night time where I seem to be able to kino escalate like a champ. Day game has just always been a sticking point for me.

carry her on your back...

It shows your strength and you cant get more contact without clothes on. You can gauge her reaction to it and how she holds on and use that to get an idea of interest. Im not saying her, and all her hiking gear for half a mile. Just tell her to get on your back and carry her around a tree and laugh or up a short trail a few feet(20 -40) or something.
