Why She Might Not Want to Come Home With You
Before jumping into solutions, it’s important to understand the core issues behind her hesitation. Here are the most common reasons a woman may not accept your invitation back to your place after a date:
1. Not Enough Physical Touching and Closeness
Touch is one of the most important factors when it comes to attraction and comfort. If you don’t establish enough physical contact and proximity during the date, she won’t feel that all-important physical chemistry with you.
Without a foundation of touching, kissing her, or asking her back to your place can feel jarring or inappropriate. You want physical escalation to happen gradually so that by the end of the date, going back to your place feels like an obvious next step.
2. Lack of Sexual Tension
Along with physical touch, you need to build genuine sexual tension. Flirtatious banter, eye contact, innuendos, and carefully escalating intimacy create sparks between you. Without this palpable sexual chemistry, the idea of sleeping together wouldn’t even be on her mind.
3. She Doesn’t Fully Trust You Yet
Even if a woman is attracted to you, she won’t be comfortable coming home with you if she doesn’t trust you yet. Some lingering doubt or uncertainty about your true intentions can hold her back.
Establishing yourself as a normal, trustworthy guy just looking to have a good time (not only trying to hook up) goes a long way here.
4. No Emotional Bond or Mental Stimulation
For many women, an emotional and intellectual connection is just as integral to desire as physicality. If your date doesn’t go beyond surface-level small talk, she likely won’t feel invested enough in you to take things to a more intimate level.
Nurturing a deeper bond through relatable conversations makes you more attractive as a potential partner in every way.
How to Get Her Excited to Come Home With You
Now that you know why she might be hesitant, here are proven tips to get her comfortable, attracted, and excited to come back to your place after a date:
1. Initiate Physical Contact Early and Often
As soon as you meet up, go in for a hug or briefly touch her shoulder or arm. This gets her used to your touch from the get-go. Look for every natural opportunity for more contact: guiding her lower back as you walk, touching her hand when emphasizing a point, playful nudges, etc.
By creating frequent safe touches early on, more intimate contact, later on, will progress much more smoothly.
2. Lock Eyes and Flirt More Overtly
Have you ever found yourself irresistibly drawn to someone just through intense eye contact? That’s the power of prolonged eye contact – it builds sexual tension instantly.
Hold eye contact a beat longer than normal. Find moments to gaze deeper into her eyes, especially while smiling or making a flirtatious comment. Light caresses and playful teasing work synergistically with eye contact to amp up the flirt factor.
3. Open Up and Get Her Talking About Herself
The more opportunities you give her to talk about herself, the quicker she’ll begin to trust and feel safe with you. Ask thoughtful questions, actively listen, and share things about yourself to demonstrate your genuine interest in who she is.
Opening yourself up also inspires her to open up, strengthening the emotional bond between you.
4. Take Her Somewhere Exciting and Fun
Choose date locations that are interactive and participatory, like mini golf, bowling, amusement parks, or live music. Having fun together floods your brains with binding hormones like oxytocin.
Variety and excitement also keep her engrossed in the present moment with you, rather than thinking ahead to the end of the date.
5. Make Your Move at the Right Moment
After ramping up flirtation and arousal all night, there will come a moment when you sense she is open and eager for the first kiss. When your eyes lock, faces gravitate closer together, and the tension reaches a crescendo – that’s your cue.
A passionate first kiss then sets the frame that going back to your place is the natural next step.
6. Whisper Flirtatious Invitations in Her Ear
When the time is right, get close and whisper suggestive invitations directly into her ear in a low, sexy voice. Phrases like, “Your place or mine?” “Want to get out of here?” or “I live right around the corner” get the idea across without being too overt.
Delivered intimately into her ear, these invitations are hard to resist after an evening of escalating chemistry.
7. Make Her Feel Comfortable and Unpressured
While building arousal is important, you also want her to feel safe, respected, and not pressured. Provide reassurance that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know her better, not just looking for a physical hookup.
If she declines your invitation, respond in a relaxed, non-needy way. “No worries, I understand. Can I see you again soon though?” demonstrates confidence and consideration.
When She Says No: How to React Gracefully
Despite your best efforts, she may still prefer not to come home with you after the first date. If this happens, the worst thing you can do is make her feel guilty or pressured. Here are tips for responding smoothly when she says no:
- Stay cool and unbothered: Don’t take it personally or show disappointment. Just respond confidently with something like “No problem, I understand.”
- Drop it: Don’t plead or ask her multiple times to change her mind if she already declined. That will only make her more uncomfortable.
- Tell her to text you when she gets home safely: This shows you care about her safety and well-being.
- Immediately suggest meeting up again soon: She may want to take intimacy slow, but proposing seeing each other again demonstrates you’re interested in more than just hooking up once.
- Go for a kiss goodbye: Assuming the date went well otherwise, linger for a bit and go in for a kiss on the cheek or lips. Even if she doesn’t come home with you, a goodnight kiss keeps things warm for next time.
- Follow up after: Send a text the next day telling her you had fun and would love to see her again soon. Be cool and consistent in your interest.
While having her come back to your place can be the perfect ending to an amazing date, don’t let it be your sole measure of “success.” If she needs more time to feel comfortable taking that step, stay confident, and continue building trust and attraction – she’ll get there eventually.
The key is focusing on having an enjoyable time together, not fixating on any one agenda. With that mindset, plus applying the tips above, your dates will start progressing back to your place seamlessly and naturally.
So next time you ask her to come over and she politely declines, take it smoothly in your stride. Brush it off, end the night on a positive note, and be proud of the great connection and fun you shared regardless. There are always more opportunities for intimacy if you play your cards right.
