Well I’ve gone out with this girl a couple times and we’ve had a great time, the first time we had the most chemistry and although we’ve still had a lot of fun I see the interest waning or at least not at the same level. I was planning on going to a movie and invited her along, we talked a fair bit before the movie about what she was into, asked if she could pick any type of occupation to do for the rest of her life what would her dream be. It went really well, until the movie started, we still talked a bit, as much as one can during a movie and I negged her a couple times for jumping and covering her eyes, she laughed and lightly smacked me on the arm playfully. Then she kind of shifted with her knees closer to me but her body leaning away from me (leaning on the arm of the seat away from me). In terms of eye contact, she has no problem looking me in the eye and then looking away with a smirk/smile, so its not as if she’s avoiding eye contact.
I want to make sure that I don’t head into the LJBF zone but I fear that’s where it will be heading if I don’t do something soon, but then on the other hand I’m wondering if I’ve paid too much attention to her and if I should back off for a little bit. I’m a pretty shy and over-analytical guy thus I think WAY too much about everything, and I’d love to have a clear indication that she won’t reject me if I do show her that I’m interested in being more than a friend. Any suggestions?
Finally as middle school as this sounds I never know how to initiate hand holding, I get no resistance from her when I playfully pat her on the head saying “oh dear dear” when she was complaining about something that happened at work and she playfully hits me on the arm, lets me put my hand on her back when I let her pass by me etc. but I really don’t know how to initiate more kino that actually leads somewhere. Again, any suggestions in general would GREATLY be appreciated.
Thanks again for all the help, hopefully I'm not beyond hope in the pua game
