On pof this girl contacted me first and basically suggested a date within a few comments, so we arranged it and texted a bit.

But have a few questions now as i've been on like one other date in my life and that was with someone i had previously banged, so less pressure.

We're meeting at half 7 tomorrow (bank holiday in uk btw) and meeting for drinks. Obviously with this we haven't met, so for greeting i guess a hug and kiss on cheek would be good start? But the main problem i am going to have is escalation and knowing how to escalate. We both live with out parents for example so looking ahead if all went well what's the best way to seal the deal as it were haha. How long would generally be expected and stuff? We're going to a quiet bar which is as you say quiet btw but with the knowledge of having alcohol.

Thanks guys, as i say escalation is going to be my worry here and how to get about it so any help and advice on what to avoid and what to do is real appreciated!

Yes yes, you know how to start the interaction. Hug and kiss on the cheek. When you do this it sets the frame that you're confident to pull it off, AND that you're fun and playful. It's better to get physical from the start because that's how she'll view you, as a physical person, rather than getting physical later and she'll be like "umm he wasn't this touchy before."

As for banging her, you need to find a way to sort your logistics, you can fuck in your car, fuck outside (it's the thrill), stay at a hotel, etc...

I'm 100% positive this girl is DTF on the first date, most girls online are there to fuck.

As for escalating it should be simple, you've already established yourself as a physical guy when you kiss her on the cheek and hug etc... now kiss close, makeout, feel her up, and say "we gotta move this elsewhere"

If she offers resistance, plow through that shit

Nice one mate

One more question. With buying drinks what do i do? Seeing as i asked her basically for the date do i buy her every drink?

Drinks are inexpensive to me, so I don't mind paying for them. You can always say like "Alright this rounds on me, you got the next." If you don't want to pay for every single one.

Nice tips this is really helpful
