“When you want to be kissed--say, at the end of a great date--slooooow down. Start speaking slower and let there be some pauses. Pauses are good! They help set the mood. Stand closer to him and talk softly. Basically, create that sexy scene.”— Joanna Goddard, glamour.com
“You can lie or sit close to him when you’re watching television. You can jump on him or tickle him playfully when the two of you are having a cute moment. You can touch his upper leg when you’re sitting or standing together. Whether it’s playful, intimate, or just convenient in the moment, you need…”— Mark Rosenfeld, thoughtcatalog.com
“If he buys you a drink, as you say thanks just very gently squeeze the back of his arm. If you’re sitting next to him, when you want to emphasize your point touch him lightly on the knee. All of these should be done smoothly and without too much emphasis. Also, if it’s loud and you have to move in c…”— Matthew Hussey, howtogettheguy.com
“You need to sit so that you can move your face towards his without any awkward maneuvering. Remember that for a man closing that short gap between your face and his can feel like the longest distance in the world.”— Matthew Hussey, howtogettheguy.com
“Still no kiss? Then try the old stand-by — you are just so cold.

If he does neither, move closer to him while still rubbing your arms.”— Mari Lyles, huffingtonpost.com

“Boys are different from girls. Girls like to be cozy all the time but boys don't. First of all, they like to get all close to you like a coiled-up rubber band, but after a while, they get fed up with being too coiled and need to stretch away to their full stretchiness. Then, after a bit of on-their-…”— Louise Rennison, amazon.com
