I asked a girl out on Thursday at college. Then phoned her when I saw her in town and met her that night. She kissed me, and then I kissed her a few more times. The next day, we were meant to meet after her work but she finished to late so flaked, in the end I saw her on my way talking to my friends, and I stopped, spoke to her and kissed her. I then texted her telling her she was a cute kisser, and she replied with 'Haha thanks?'

I met her tonight and we went for a picnic, then over to my friends for a drinks. Up there, I kissed her multiple times and tried to escalate kino by rubbing up her leg etc, before retreating to holding hands whilst we talked. I had to ask her a lot of questions, however teased her on her responses and also let there be silence to show I was comfortable with it. Her body language was somewhat offish, however I just stretched out and lent on her and by the end she was much relaxed. She began to kiss with much more enthusiasm. I said to her, it would have been good to have a movie night tonight but sounds like you've got to be back for your brother, and she said some other time. I suggested going out that week and she said, 'yeah maybe, I have a lot of revision to do.' We then went onto my friends house, where she was only going to drop me off however stayed as one of her childhood friends was coming over and she was only going to stay to see him arrive, then drop me off. She then later decided to stay a bit later after asking him if he was going to stay later. I asked his best friend (also one of mine), if there was any chance they liked eachother and he laughed down the phone. As did my other friend.

She dropped me off later, and I kissed her a few times before saying 'You may be cute, but you do turn me on a bit...' And she giggled and then we kissed again the most passionately yet, with me doing some more kino.

I've made a bet with my friend so that I won't text her before Wednesday, as although I likely won't I am quite spontaneous, and fear it may be counter-productive. She's quite a blunt texter, however I reply to her in the same way, so I don't think it's a problem.

I very much like this girl, I believe we are more serious than just a casual fling however I am struggling to escalate and thus get to a point where we can be very open with each other.

It is probably worth mentioning she has not had any experience with guys since her boyfriend cheated on her 3 times last year and she was obviously very hurt by that. I'm trying to find the right mid-ground between sexually and romantically interested.
