Brand new to the game, and having been having a lot of trouble getting stuck in the "friend zone". After researching here I now know that I haven't been escalating nearly enough or creating sexual tension.

I went on 2 dates with two different women in the last few days and can sense the "friend zone" being approached if not already sunken into. I'm know the longer time goes by the harder it is to get out of but I'm hoping I can get back on track before its too late.

Does anyone have any good routines to create sexual tension after starting to slip into a friend zone?

I personally think that this "friend zone" is a result of over complication and over thinking, especially if you've already been on a date with a girl. If you think too much about yourself in friendzone you will be there in no time.

As for ST "routines", there have been a ton of them here, just put a bit more time into looking, for example next pages or different threads. And don't think of creating ST as routines, because you don't create it for a minute or just one time, you create ST all the time during the talk. Slow talk, pauses, triangular gaze, getting closer, kino. Watch Gambler's stuff, he's a master when it comes to teaching ST.

frend zone happens when you DONT ESCALATE.
Allways be escalating.
Give Fearless Relentless escalation a read. It is very helpfull
