Hey, Im wondering how you guys go about asking to go back to your place. I literally don't know how so I started off pretty weird sounding but lately I just say something along the lines of lets take this some place more comfortable. Unfortunately I can never seem to get a girl back to my place on the first date. I always get really touchy on the date and make sure I kiss them at some point. Am I just not getting sexual enough? I feel kind of awkward going too sexual on the first date. Does anyone have any tips to increase my close rate on first dates outside of my place.

For myself I watched some Austen Summers and apply the technique of seeding the pull. Basically through text before the date I'll mention the typical semi private beach date (my preference), then will say "and if the vibe is good we'll add wine & a movie" or "and if the vibe is good I'll show you my guitar skills" (if she mentions ed sheeran since I'm a redhead) which implies going back to mine. You just don't want it to be all sudden where you're like "ok let's go back to mine" without context on the date because it comes out of nowhere. So then on the date I will bring up specific topics on purpose (or she might ask about it too, even better) like what movies she's seen, and I'll be like "Damn that sounds cool I've never seen that. We'll have to watch that later" and maybe reference it again later. Then I will say later "We should go back to the car" since it's cold out and we vibe there for a bit. I'll escalate and makeout and then tell her let's go. Basically trying to make it a smooth progression. By seeding and leading a bit on the date (changing locations to go back to car she gets used to you leading) she'll be more ok when you say to go to yours.
I personally like dates that are semi-private. I use local beach at the end of some random neighborhood that is technically public but not many people go, so it's comfortable for her that it's public but private enough where it can be just us and throughout the date she'll get used to being alone with you. Then your place is just a change of scenery/location, she's already used to being alone with you

Thank you for the answer, I like the idea of setting the date in a private area. It is definitely way harder to escalate and build comfort if there are a ton of people around.

Definitely agree. I don't like getting drinks, at least not as the sole activity of the date, since it's awkward to escalate in that environment. And I make sure to say semi private so she doesn't get uncomfortable
