Ok so this is embarrassing.

Last couple of girls ive met seem interested, met up for coffee, secured a D2 dinner etc, then .......... nothing!

I have a really good text game, inner game, im fun and cheeky (cocky funny is my MO), the laughs flowed heaps with both girls. However, when I try to get closer to them on our dates, it feels weird touching them.
I know this is my sticking point.

I have read the DiCarlo Ladder a few times for inspiration too.

I have implemented a few tips from the forum such as:
Leading by holding hands (it s a compliance test too), the date from last night, she took my hand from the car to the restaurant, but then wouldn't hold hands after that
Palm reading (the retard line gets them every time lol!)
Checking out their nail polish
Game of slaps
Touching her clothing
Leading with my hand on the small of her back (no ass involved)

I know that these are only the beginning of the kino and escalation process, however I need to be more bold I think and just touch more. The places we were made it difficult to touch. Dinner, obviously the table is a physical barrier, we went and played pool after that, and we were constantly walking away from each other around the table. Did get a few Hi 5's and the nail polish check tho! Then we bounced to my place, she sat on an armchair and I was on the sofa next to her, so there was maybe 2 feet between us and I couldn't get her to lean in closer until I did the palm reading.

My question to all my PUA brothers - What did you do to overcome your issue of kino escalation and how did you remove or minimise any physical barriers??

Cheers

Started kino escalation very recently it's amazing ...had done beforehand but not consciously now I do it consciously..also try touching people's in crowded clubs bars and they apologize if necessary ..didn't need to do that myself but just a thought ..
But again I would totally see how it be uncomfortable to do it...it was for me first few people but then you progress trust me on this ...just do it a lot so you get used to it
Also talk when you do it so neither you or her gets focused on the touch ..but then at somepoimt you wanna change it back to the point when you make sexual tensions by doing it and not talking but then again the order is important
