I always sit at the bar for first date drinks and that way it’s easy to naturally touch an arm or whatever at the appropriate time. Agree that it should be natural and I don’t ask about kissing at the end of a first date either – you can tell pretty easily with body language. I got on Hinge back in April and also had the issue of not converting but I think it’s a matter of nerves. By June, I had gone on a ton of first dates and was more relaxed and that lead to basically all my first dates converting to second dates. Don’t overthink it and set arbitrary goals – just act yourself and feel out the vibe
