Step 1. Praise their body

Grease the wheels by praising the person’s body — just make sure you do it in a non-sleazy way. Remark on how “fit” and “toned” they look; speculate that they must be working out. You’ll have no chance of getting them naked if they’re self-conscious about their figure.

Step 2. Bring up the idea casually

Casually bring up the idea of skinny-dipping. Ruminate on how you’ve always wanted to try it.

Step 3. Proceed cautiously

Proceed cautiously. Once you’ve introduced the subject, drop it for a while — unless, of course, your companion is already ripping off clothes and dashing toward the water.

Step 4. Announce your intention to skinny-dip

Announce that, by gosh, you’re going to do it — you’re going to skinny-dip! Behave as though you are talking yourself into it. Make no mention of them joining you.

Step 5. Begin undressing

Begin undressing like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Keep up a steady stream of chatter, as if nothing could be more innocent.

Step 6. Run into the water

Run into the water and begin splashing around with an expression on your face that suggests pure joy.

Step 7. Share your delight

Describe the “indescribable” feeling of having nothing between your body and the water.

If your companion is the type of person who doesn’t like to lose a challenge, dare them to join you.

Step 8. Give up

If your friend isn’t nude by now, forget it. Remember, you can lead a person to water, but you can’t make them strip.
