@theintimacydoc: Pick her up. If she’s open to it. You did it in high school—why the hell wouldn’t you do it now? It’s not about control. It’s about creating a container. One where she doesn’t have to figure out parking, directions, or how she’s getting home solo at 11PM. It’s sweet. It’s sexy. It sets a tone of care without obligation. And here’s the kicker— It also opens the door for connection. The little in-between moments. The casual hand on the leg. The shared music. The slow burn of presence before the first sip of wine. If you’re craving real intimacy, stop treating dates like transactions. Start leading with nervous system steadiness and everyday eroticism. This is containment. And most men were never taught it.
