I try to have 3 places in mind for a change of scenery, and if there’s something going on at at least one spot, that can take the pressure off of talking. i try to sit next to the person, like at a bar top, instead of across because that just feels like a job interview or something.
aside from that, engaging conversation. Probe for interest and if they reciprocate, then you can go a bit further until they don’t or you’re making out.
funny thing though, I started planning some of my outings with friends like I was doing a date. Instead of just going to the bar and “yyyyup”-ing for a couple hours, I try to find a shoe or something going on and then change locations to something else interesting. By the end my buds are commenting about how much fun they had.
so plan the date around interesting things or environments, or just something going on or something to look at. Then just have fun and relax.
Also, I read something from one of the old dating sites where they said that a sushi date is 27% more likely to get a second date. All of my sushi dates have gotten second dates.
