Okay so I want to kiss a girl I’ve been seeing and we’re going on a date walking our dogs any ideas?

Close the physical barrier by using touch. Start of with an innocent friendly touch, she should be receptive to it if you've been on a few dates. Have you hugged before? If so give her a hug when you meet up. This is generally my go to on a first date too. As long as it is just a 'happy to see you' hug and not a lingering intimate hug, I've never had a girl think it was weird. Hug her like you would of you saw a good friend.

If she is comfortable with it and doesn't pull away, move onto the next level of physical contact. When walking your dogs together slip your hand into hers. You can escalate from there. Just keep an eye out for her not being comfortable with the escalation. If that happens go back to the phase before it happened and try again later once you build more rapport.

Don't overthink it. It's good to have an idea of how to escalate to kissing etc, but don't plan it all out. If you have it planned and something doesn't happen exactly as you planned it will throw you right off

Just play it cool and see where things take you. If this isn't your first date (as I gather from your post) she is clearly interested in you because she is seeing you again.

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks the hugging technique I’ll definitely go for but it’s not a date we’re just friends

Oh right. That changes things a little bit, but not that much.

Definitely go for a friendly hug. Breaks the touch barrier but easily brushed off as just being friendly.

Since you're not dating, I would not go straight into trying to hold her hand. That's a high risk high reward move.

I'd start off with more innocent touches. Touch her arm or her shoulder as you reply if she says something you get excited about.

'I went to the _____ game the other night'

*Gentle touch on the upper arm or shoulder*

'no way I love the ______! How was it?'

Just a random example I came up with off the top of my head. Could be anything. Just use it when there is an emotion, out of the blue touching for no reason is creepy.

Since you're not dating you'll have to pay a little more attention to her comfort levels with touch.
