If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:
“Hmm, let’s see 9.5… nope, wait, hold on,…”
Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you’re looking at the Mona Lisa
“Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection.”
Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you’re shy)
The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don’t have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you’re examining a really nice piece of art.
Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she’s unconsciously seeing that you’re looking at her whole picture.
At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.
Please don’t “look her up and down”. Nobody I know would want to be checked out by an acquaintance or first date like that, and she is most certainly not “unconsciously” seeing you check her out. She’s painfully aware of it.
If it’s someone you’re actually dating already for a few months, then different story. But if it’s a stranger you’re on your first date with, then please don’t do this.
Okay, but is it really going to be uncomfortable if she literally asked you to rate her? Doesn’t that require some kind of appraisal?
If someone asks for a rating, aren’t they requesting at least a moment of being “checked out”?
If I’m off the mark, well, I guess I’m just glad I got the whole dating/flirting thing right once, because if I had to leave my long-term relationship and try again… Well, I think I’d do a poor job.

Instructions unclear I stuck a finger in her eye and she punched me
“I touched her face, she touched mine. We’ll both remember this moment forever…” 🌀
