Okay, you're out with with your new sweetie. You dig her, she digs you (it's obvious). You're enjoying being together and feel at ease with each other. The small talk has been just that. The *real* communication is happening on the dance floor (during the slow numbers, when you're close). Here's something to try once you're back at your table.Look into her eyes.
Don't put on an act. Don't try too hard (or *think* too hard) about what you're doing. Don't stare, but *engage* her eyes. Just tell her with your look what you're thinking. Smile-- slightly, but genuinely (and knowingly). Don't fake it. Let her know-- without *saying* it out loud-- how much you're enjoying being with her.
As she returns your gaze and your smile (and if you do it right, she *will*), reach across the table for her hand-- she'll reach back. Stroke and caress her hand and fingers gently, never breaking your eye contact.
After a few seconds, give her a warm smile, squeeze her hand, let go, and resume your conversation.
Do this several times during your date, making it last a little longer each time. I'll bet that by the end of the night, you're communicating *much* more with your eyes (and your other parts ) than with your words.
Enjoy life,
