Well, I think I'm moving out of my "beginner" phase of SS ... used some basic SS pattern to get her to dinner ... and then dusted off a thing we used to do in college 15 years ago taught to me as the "Cookie Close" ... wonder if guys on this board have used it. I have used this technique to "close" the deal at least six times in my life ... and only ONCE has it not delivered the "goods".
Basically there are three parts to the Cookie Close ... part one is when the waiter comes over and asks if you would like dessert ... rather than ordering .. you use the question as a transition to discussions about desserts, and what your favorite desserts are ... which sets up all types of opportunities for any number of "patterns" intended to get her visualizing erotic taste sensations ... part one ends when you admit that frankly, your favorite dessert of all time is simply...
FRESH BAKED TOLL HOUSE COOKIES ... WARM FROM THE OVEN ...
She will admit that such sounds great ... and then you close Part One with an "idea" ... let's go to the market and get the ingredients and go back to your house/my house and make them RIGHT NOW! Such spontaneity typically occurs to her as ever so exciting ... and sweet ... and fun ... and the childish innocence of visions of baking warm cookies is just compelling as hell. So off we go to the supermarket
PART TWO : There is NOTHING like taking a HB you don't know very well to a supermarket ... just being there ... basket/cart in tow ... will fill her with visions of the two of you as a "couple" ... it's pretty much impossible for her NOT to look at you as a "pretend" husband .. and the two of you playing "house". It's just so. She cannot help herself ... you need not say a word ... she will be picturing you and her as a "couple" ... while you stand in the checkout line.
PART THREE : Basically, no big deal ... first batch of cookies are totally straight ... second batch involves basic licking dough off spatula ... and then melted chocolate off each other's fingers ... etc ... basically ... by this time ... the heavenly childish scent of baked Toll House Cookies has filled the house ... the innocence of the activity has been superseded by a new "idea" that she will invariably dream up .... you've had your fill of feeding each other warm cookies ... truth be told ... I've never done this technique and NOT burned the third batch. The beauty is that she will have had all the "ideas" herself ... and will brag to her friends the next day how ... "cute" ... her date was last night as he suggested making cookies ... and we ended up getting chocolate all over us ... with a smirk and a wink .. causing her friends to drool with envy.
It worked fifteen years ago .... and worked like a charm again last night. Try it ... it's fun ... it's romantic as hell ... and it pretty much works itself.
