Don’t be too coy about the compliments. If that dress your partner is wearing makes them look hotter than Arizona in August, tell them! Don’t be crude, but if they’ve ‘packaged’ their assets to be admired, let them know that’s appreciated!
Respond to their reactions: if they pull away when you try to kiss them, it may not be time for that just yet. Go back to step one next time, and try again. If they do respond, pay attention to their body language. If they are kissing but guarded, don’t continue to the next step until their body language lets you know it’s OK to proceed.
Remember that you will receive as much as you will give. If you’re in the mood and want them to go out of their way to please you, there are some things you can do to drive them insane.
Make sure you talk about this beforehand to make sure they’re okay with you being aggressive.
