to be tall, or to be taller than your victim/date. This ensures some kind of visual/spatial mastery from the outset so that even if you slur your words or drop a contact lens into the soup, your partner will still have to look up into your eyes to ask if anything is wrong.
It helps also to be smoothly confident or, if you can’t manage this, then just drunk enough to be able to fake it. The trick is to stay the right side of smarmy unctiousness. You should ‘suggest’ your sexual compatibility without making reference to it. Body language is the key. Try mirroring the gestures of your intended. S/he might not be conscious of this, but their subconscious will pick right up on it. (You can, figuratively speaking, be in bed with someone over a restaurant table).
You can only seduce someone who wants to be seduced so there should be something in common between the two of you. The trick is to find the common ground and then milk it gently, lovingly, caressingly….you get the idea. Once the ease of laughter settles in, you’re on your way.
