This can be a troublesome sticking point for many men, in terms of not knowing when to "go for it" on a date or even not understand what's going "wrong" and they not making progress on previous dates. Some men going on 4th, 5th, etc... dates and going absolutely nowhere. I will dare do what few other PUAs have ever done, using a swinger's perspective, and explain what's "going wrong".
First, let's define what a 1st date is. There is sex on the 1st day (SNL- Same Night Lay) and sex on the 1st date, these are DIFFERENT. Sex on the 1st day/SNL, is on that same day in which you met the woman. Like meeting her in a disco, then taking her to the bathroom or hotel nearby for sex. If you only got her contacts, did NOT have sex, and then agreed to meet another day and had sex, that's sex on the 1st date. And actually, it's the 2ND time you have met her. If you met her online/Internet, then that's a 1st date too, because you have usually exchanged lots of messages previously.
. 1st/SNL
This requires almost immediate rapport and often relies heavily on looks (both being strongly physically attracted), mood (particular her being or getting into a sexual mood), strong sexual charisma by the guy, and also situational awarness by the guy. Understanding that sex is possible with her and knowing a place where he can take her to have sex.
The key point, regardless of the conversation the guy has with her (which is still very important-see Verbal Escalation in other PUA threads), is her being comfortable with the guy touching her (see Physical Escalation in other PUA threads). Then physically escalating to hugging. Hugging can take many forms. Dancing close, arm over her shoulder, hugging her arould the waist, her sitting on your lap and her hands around your shoulders, etc...
At the "hugging point", it's a matter of the guy "pulling the trigger". That is progressing to kissing her and then taking her to a place where sex is possible (see Geographical Escalation in other threads), or taking her directly to a place where sex is possible and then going for sex. Kissing is the intermediate step, which is very important, but may not be necessary depending on the woman and situation. Some women, particularly in Asia (to include Japan) can consider kissing more intimate than sex or blow jobs. Irregardless of how various Western guys might feel about it, that's just how it is with some women in Asia, and they would be wise to know this cultural difference.
. 1st Date
Same here too. The key usually is to get to some variation of HUGGING, using this as a PHYSICAL LITMUS TEST, to then decide to "pull the trigger" and progress to kissing and/or moving to a place where sex is possible.
Now, with that typed, there are some guys that feel they can bypass the "hugging or kissing litmus test" and simply go for moving her more directly to a "place for sex". They will instead litmus test her by body language and verbal conversation, or even bypass that, and see using her agreeing to come to his place as the litmus test. She says "Yes", he's going for sex at his place. She says "No", then she isn't ready yet in his mind.
This variant tactic (extremely rapid Geographical Escalation) is something that I do NOT recommend. However, there are guys and PUAs that specialize in this approach.
It is more likely to work, if you are bringing her to your or her apartment/house, versus anywhere else. As it's your home or hers, she might be comfortable. However, this style can result in a MASSIVE amount of LMR (Last Minute Resistance). Where the woman panicks or starts acting crazy. Often because she is NOT used to being physical with the guy (as hugging and kissing phases bypassed before coming to his place).
2nd and 3rd Dates
All that above was to get you here. And why would a guy find himself here? Usually the guy failed to "pull the trigger" (hugging, kissing, or place for sex), the woman gave strong resistance (to any touching, kissing, or changing locations), or the guy completely didn't have a clue and was very confused.
. Transition From 1st to 2nd Date
The arguably CORRECT reason, in PUA and trying again on a 2nd date, is where the woman has SHOWED you AFFECTION but you couldn't move her to a place for sex (Geographical Escalation failure). The guy made it to the "hugging or kissing point" (she was good for some of that), but she gave the guy some excuse or reason why she couldn't go to some other place with him (or the guy chickened out).
There are legitimate reasons for this, like she is having her period, or you or her have a big presentation or meeting the next day. However, this would be POOR planning on the part of the guy to choose such a bad day, and indicative that the woman might be clueless. Be that as it may, if she hugged or kissed you, then there is hope. And DEFINITELY, a man should go for a 2nd date.
. Geographical Failure
Often the error the guy is making is not finding an INTERMEDIATE romantic place to hug and kiss her. Smart guys will find dimly lit, semi-private, or romantic locations. This requires the guy to PLAN. If not, then he will have to gamble more on pulling her to a hotel or his apartment. Possible, but often a bigger hurdle to jump, and where a higher percentage of women will panick or give LMR. So, if you want things to progress smoothly, after the brightly lit restaurant ( for example), find some dimly lit romantic places to take her to NEXT.
. When you arguably SHOULDN'T ask her on a 2nd Date
Don't ask her out again if she's a cold fish, unaffectionate, mean, or arrogant to you. Such women might be abusing you for attention, as her pet entertainment (personal clown), or she has NO natural physical attraction to you. If she keeps you around, it might be for nefarious purposes, your money, and/or you are a plan B or C of hers. Remember there are OTHER women in the world, don't allow yourself to be abused and toyed with by women.
Now sometimes, when a guy is clueless, it's his own fault. In other words he failed to TEST her and made ZERO attempts at hugging, kissing, or moving her someplace where sex can happen. Often this type of guy needs 3, 4... even 7 dates to work up the nerve. There are 2 problems with this. She can end up: 1) friend-zoning you OR 2) some other braver guy has sex with her 1st, and then she cuts the timid poor guy off or puts him into friend-zone deep freeze (usually never to come back out).
. Going For Sex On 2nd Dates
If she actually shows up for the next date, it means she has some interest in you. The KEY here is for the guy to PLAN (Where can you Physically Escalate at?) and "pull the trigger". Escalate/test her and see how far you can get.
. 3rd Dates
Something not good is likely to have happened on the other 2 dates. Poor location planning, middle of the work week, her being very resistant, guy being too timid, etc... I call this the LAST shot.
Here, a guy should think, TODAY or NEVER! Again, planning and "pulling the trigger" is essential. And on the 3rd date, don't be afraid to openly discuss that you want to start a sexual relationship with her. A guy might be surprised to find she will openly agree.
. If 3rd Date Fails
She is just not that into you or you don't have natural physical chemistry. A guy should strongly assess the situation, in terms of why there isn't any natural sexual chemistry between you. Now, if you both have taken an insane and archaic vow of chastity (as if condoms and birth control doesn't exist... 1815 instead of 2015) then fine, and good look with the blue balls. For everyone else, I recommend that it's time for you, the guy, to move on. Find a woman that is MORE affectionate towards you or that you are comfortable with. Don't be afraid to try again and go on dates with other women. More dates = more sex.
