Hands-On Approach | comment |
Alice is helping Bob practice something like a sport or playing a musical instrument. Alice needs to help walk Bob through some motions. So Alice takes his arm or shoulder to put them in the proper position. Why is Bob blushing like crazy? And why does it take him forever to get it right? A common Ship Tease situation that can be as awkward as it is sweet. Because one character has a secret crush on the other, or because they are two adamant Just Friends, or because they're arch enemies, the necessary physical contact takes on much more significance than intended for one or both. Expect any bystanders to comment, "It's getting a little hot in here." See also Zip Me Up and I Didn't Mean to Turn You On. |

Desperate Housewives: In "Every Day a Little Death", Bree decides to teach George Williams how to shoot, using an antique Luger that his grandfather acquired while fighting in World War II. Bree walks George through the entire process, but just as she instructs him to take a deep breath before pulling the trigger, he abruptly attempts to kiss her. In the process, the gun goes off and he ends up blowing off the middle toe on his left foot. | |

In season 3 of Angel, when Angel is teaching Cordelia how to fight, there are definitely a few moments of this, (mirroring the Tai Chi-type stuff he did earlier with Buffy) and amping up the UST between them. The funniest of these is when Angel doubts that Cordy's cheerleading experience allows her to remember the moves he's teaching her; she does a "cheerleading routine" with her sword and ends up about an inch away from him, holding the sword to his throat; whereupon he laughs nervously and says "Go Team!" | |

Arrow: Oliver Queen and Shado suddenly realise their UST while she's teaching him archery, resulting in a First Kiss. Slade is not impressed as Oliver has to be trained up fast for an attack tomorrow. Oliver instructs Helena Bertinelli in archery when trying to discourage her from using firearms for her vigilante work. By that stage they've already slept together and Helena is clearly enjoying the close contact. The lesson soon turns into Oliver showing off his skill with a bow to impress her. Sara towards Felicity when trying to correct her stance. The former is canonically bisexual and called her cute a few minutes prior (later confirmed as Sara flirting), and the latter is wearing spandex at the time. |

In season one of Castle where Castle pretends that he doesn't know how to shoot a target so Beckett "teaches" him how. She stands behind him and moves his body around, completely missing the shit-eating grin on his face as this was his plan all along. However, it's less sleazy and more cute as he also wanted to cheer her up after they hit a dead end during an investigation. Plus, there's this line. | |

Black Canary in Justice League needs Green Arrow's help at one point. In order to be sure she gets it, she does a small strip tease, some abjectly shameless flirting, and a sparring match deliberately mixed with this trope in order to rope him in. After seeing her in action (and seeing her pull a similar stunt on a former teacher) he realizes that it's part of her MO and tries to walk out of the mission, feeling played. By the end of the episode she makes it clear that even though she overdid the act, she really does have feelings for him. | |

This trope occurs a lot in Harry Potter fanfiction, as it's mentioned in the early books and at least twice in the movies that Hermione cannot fly and is afraid of heights.

And she promptly drops her subject to gaze awestruck at Harry. Non-romantically: Another part of the training students scene has Neville unable to cast Stupefy, but Harry holds his hand and shows him the technique, blasting a student across the room. A deleted scene in the first The Deathly Hallows movie has Ron teaching Hermione how to skip stones across a lake. According to what David Yates said in an interview, Hermione is pretending to be bad at it in order to get some physical contact. |

In "Feel the Night", Sam and Miguel are at her dad's dojo for some alone time. Miguel notices the Okinawan hand-drum in the Miyagi-Do training room. Sam shows him that it's the inspiration for a Miyagi-Do fighting technique and demonstrates. Miguel then counters that he's got some secret moves of his own. He puts his hands on Sam's arms as if to correct her stance...then sweeps her off her feet, lays her on the mat, and they kiss...which is cut short when Daniel walks in, forcing them to pull apart rather hastily. | |

Discussed on New Girl when the roommates' Cranky Landlord fixes Jess's closet door and comes behind her to help her close it. Nick insists that this is a sign that the landlord is into her and cites sports movies. When Jess insists that it's not like that, Nick them demonstrates by asking her to pick up a mug, and then coming behind her to "correct" her. | |

C14 Dating: If Melissa finds out about the atlatl training grounds early and joins the impromptu practice session offered by Hendrik, Chantal, who has called Hendrik "beau" (good-looking) in a previous scene, also joins. She gets quite deliberate about making mistakes after Hendrik demonstrates, making Melissa realize that Chantal is hoping for a physical correction of her posture. As Hendrik sticks to trying to correct her with verbal instructions, Deandre ends up being the one who physically corrects her posture. For the festival, Hendrik is in charge of setting up an atlatl practice space and Melissa can choose to help him with it. Hendrik's demonstration of how to properly hold the atlatl during that event does get tactile. Helping with a love interest's festival preparations unlocks an image and Hendrik's is focused on the moment he shows Melissa how to hold the atlatl properly. |

Girl with a Pearl Earring: Johannes Vermeer attempts to teach Griet (Scarlett Johansson) to grind paints by placing his large manly Dutch Master hands over hers, totally obliterating the proper social barriers between them—-she gets pretty flustered. Johansson can't do anything in that movie without exuding sexual tension, though, so it was only to be expected. | |

Played absolutely straight in the NCIS episode "Grace Period" with Gibbs, Hollis Mann, and softball, except a) he was very definitely kissing her neck, and b) either she had a real natural talent, or she already knew how to hit. Possibly both. This must be a standard Gibbs seduction technique. In "Doppelganger" he shows a redhead he fancies how to sand his boat, complete with Double Entendres. |

Daredevil (2015) The season 2 premiere "Bang" sees the Nelson & Murdock trio relaxing after work by playing pool at Josie's. While Foggy goes to the bathroom, Karen and Matt flirt, during which Karen ends up making a bad shot. She decides to "teach" Matt how to play. Matt lines up a shot that doesn't sink any balls, so Karen repositions him, tracing her hand along his sleeve. Matt can hear Karen's elevated heart rate, and knows she's feeling as hot-and-bothered as he is. He ends up scoring a trick shot that ricochets the eight-ball into a corner pocket just as Foggy returns from the bathroom. In the first episode, Matt gets a hot-looking realtor to lead him around the office space they're planning to rent for Nelson & Murdock, and from the way Foggy rolls his eyes it's clearly a trick he's pulled before. Foggy later claims that Matt is always getting pretty girls to let him touch their face to get an idea of what they look like (though he can't understand how Matt always seems to know who the pretty ones are). |

Because they're all now hypermasculine, the Kens cannot resist a Barbie who's ignorant about sports, so the Barbies plan to use this as a distraction — Barbies who have freed from their Kendom indoctrination ask for help with sports so the Kens will cuddle up to them to demonstrate, and only for another Barbie to be taken and deprogrammed while the Kens aren't looking. We then get a montage of this happening with different Ken/Barbie pairs for different activities, culminating in a crowd shot of the Kens dressed for various sports proudly proclaiming "Let us show you". | |

In El Goonish Shive, Susan teaches Elliot how to use chopsticks by taking his hand. For a Neat Freak who Hates Being Touched like her, this is quite significant even though neither of them seem to realize it. The fact that she goes to wash her hands immediately afterward only slightly negates the moment. | |

In Beetle Bailey, General Halftrack observes that a tennis instructor can get away with a lot of touching, and it's okay because he's just giving lessons. Dirty Old Man that he is, the next panel shows him with an arm on either side of his Sexy Secretary Miss Buxley and his hands on her hands, saying, "Let me show you a little typing trick." However, the difference between what the tennis instructor is doing with her, is that the hands-on approach that the tennis instructor uses on Miss Buxley during her lessons is actually a form of foreplay for them. | |

Child of the Storm has Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke take this approach to teaching Harry (a Hormone-Addled Teenager with a crush on her) how to use his Psychic Powers, and help build some psychic defences. However, she quite clearly doesn't intend for the contact (primarily just finger-tips to temples, though they're both in close proximity, and her breasts are pressed against his back) to have this effect, and is gently amused, while Harry is utterly mortified. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel doing Tai Chi with Buffy leads to some awkward tension, as they Can't Have Sex, Ever. Xander showing Willow how to ballroom dance leads to them kissing, which freaks them out as they're both seeing other people. In "Superstar", Riley Finn tries to apply this trope when showing Buffy how to throw a ball through the mini-basketball hoop in his room. However Buffy is still upset that Riley slept with Faith, so she just walks out the door the moment the sexual tension gets too high. Buffy and Spike have a variation of this in Season 7, in that they're sparring to teach the Potentials how to fight off a vampire. This would be normal if it wasn't slightly sensual and didn't end with Buffy pinning Spike to the ground and straddling him, then worrying she's agitated his wounds and trying to rip off his shirt to check. One of the watching Potentials even comments that it's "hot", and another girl questions, "So, we're supposed to make out with the vampire?" |

Cobra Kai: In "All Valley", Samantha LaRusso and Miguel Diaz go to Golf 'n Stuff for their first date. Miguel brags that he's best in his class at karate, and tries to "prove it" by showing Sam some techniques...which involves putting his hands on her hips. She playfully calls him out on it, to which he protests "I'm correcting your stance!", then reveals she has a childhood's worth more experience than he does by hopping into his arms and executing a flawless leg throw takedown. Sam then roughly pins Miguel to the ground, straddles him, and gives him the ending he wanted. In "Feel the Night", Sam and Miguel are at her dad's dojo for some alone time. Miguel notices the Okinawan hand-drum in the Miyagi-Do training room. Sam shows him that it's the inspiration for a Miyagi-Do fighting technique and demonstrates. Miguel then counters that he's got some secret moves of his own. He puts his hands on Sam's arms as if to correct her stance...then sweeps her off her feet, lays her on the mat, and they kiss...which is cut short when Daniel walks in, forcing them to pull apart rather hastily. |
