I’m a 26-year-old guy currently dating a 22-year-old woman I’ve been seeing for about four weeks now. We recently had our third date, and so far the vibe has always been really good. We’ve spent hours talking in bars, going for walks, and doing activities together. However, she hasn’t let me kiss her yet. I’ve tried twice, but she didn’t really reciprocate.
At the same time, she does seek physical closeness, like holding hands, cuddling up to my shoulder, and things like that. Also she always go through her hair, and seems nervous some time. But just the first minutes we meet, after we are talking some time, she isnt, nervous anymore.
I recently found out that she has never been in a relationship before, so I’m wondering if maybe she just needs more time because of that. I haven’t asked her directly about it yet.
I also don’t know if she’s ever been intimate with someone before, but she seems very confident though, so maybe. She mentioned that she started drinking at a relatively young age, which might suggest something, but of course that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
In the beginning, we texted a lot, but now not as much. Still, whenever we meet, it feels amazing and time just flies by.
What would you guys suggest for the next date? Should I bring it up, ask her directly if I can kiss her, or how would you handle it?
