HI Antiquity
it seems that what’s holding back your progress, at least partially, is in your head. To quote you ” Largely because there’s a huge part of me that doesn’t believe the results can be real”
Essentially, you’re blocking yourself.
if you don’t believe you’re going to get any action with your date, it’s going to show through in your behavior and speech, and you probably wont get any action. These things are the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecies.
Eric has a great old post about in in his Blog section of this website, called ” Getting Physical, a Woman’s perspective ” posted in the category First dates, sex & escalation.
I would also recommend reading “No more Mr nice guy ” by Robert Glover , and “Models ” by Mark Manson as mentioned also by Ryano.

When a new girl goes out with you, some part of her is evaluating you as a potential sex partner as well. Escalation is not only expected, but she expects you as the man, to initiate.

To set the tone Sexual right from the start is a lot easier than trying to go sexual once you’re mired in a conversation about politics.
Me : ” Hey, you look really hot/sexy in that outfit….I like that you took the effort to come out looking nice tonight, come on, lets get something to drink first ” and then I’ll tug at her triceps or shoulder , and start walking. ( I’ll say this right at the start of the date, when I first see her )

I’m with Lee on how you interacted with the Turkish girl.
