| So this is my first post, although I've been lurking reading up for about a week now.
This really isn't my scene cause I've never been one to get around, but a friend suggested I get on here after hearing about my current situation.
To the meat though. I've recently reconnected with a friend I was sweet on in highschool. I saw her on Tinder while goofing around about a month ago. I swiped right and got an immediate match. So I just messaged her in my usual goofey way and let it rest till she got back to me.
Eventually she hit me up and we started messaging on facebook. Nothing serious just tag back and forth and getting to know each other (had been almost 5 years since we last talked).
I'm fairly bad at showing interest, but I let out my usual subliminal flirting that I usually do with all my female friends. Ended up escalating to where we are talking everyday or so. We have went on lunch meets during work breaks, worked out together, blah blah blah all the good friendsy stuff.
About a week ago while I was at work, we were doing our regular back and forth banter. And I dropped an all too obvious flirt. It was the first of its kind and I have to admit I was getting to it wayyyy too late. But I knew I was hitting the friendzone fast. So I put my cards on the table. She responded with "Um" and then "I didn't know you were". I finished off with "Interested? Of course". I really had wanted to ask her on a date in person, but I was on the spot so I did it then. I texted her saying she should go on a date with me. She told me she was just looking at me as a friend since she didn't have a whole lot and she was interested in someone else. I took it as it was and we continued texting.
I consulted with my friend, the one who referenced me to here, on the matter and he told me I was being overly friendly. So I decided to change my game up. Being more aloof and playing hot and cold, much bolder flirting now that my secret was out. Which worked or at least I like to think it did; because she started responding to me more and initiating contact more.
This is where I'm getting lost and my problem.
Three days ago we hung out pretty much all day after I got off work. I left work and went to the park with her to run, she is training for marathon. Then we went to her place afterwards to cook, we are teaching each other, she is into clean eating, vegetarian/vegan, and I'm a professional cook. (I've recently started a health initiative so I really appreciate her help.) Anyway once I get to her house I realize that she is flirting with me hardcore, like she has never done before, like the switch went from off to on. This was throwing me off because she said she wanted to just be friends. So I called her out on it, to which she admits that she likes the attention, so she flirts if she knows a guy is into it, and asks if she should stop. I told her hell no! We flirt on and off while we cook and chill around her house. Talk about past sexual experiences, and I end up hinting to her that I might just be fucking phenomenal in bed. Oh and she has this thing where she says she is Perfect and how she has super high self confidence. (and she does, but god she is so hot, and smart, so why wouldn't she)
So we hangout all that day and night her friend comes chills for a bit and then leaves around 12. So it's just me and her at her house, her dad is asleep. (I'm 20 she is 19.) I figure that she is going to go to bed or we might chill in her living room. But instead she invites me to her bedroom and closes the door. I'm super nervous because my experience level in all of this is super low. (Got out of a 4 year relationship around 5 months ago. My gaming exp is nil.) So I sit on the bed with her while she is snuggling up and we talk and bullshit. I work my way closer to her and start touching her ever so slightly. We sorta cuddle while we talk and then her dad wakes up and says it's time for me to leave. So I pack up and get ready to go, wish him a good night and then she walks me out. She talks to me for forever before I get on my bike and gives me a huge before I leave. I wanted to kiss her so fucking bad there cause I could feel the tension, but I choke. As she is walking away though I make a joke about it and she laughs and walks back inside. Then as I'm riding home she texts me asking if I would be butthurt if we fooled around without a relationship. I practically shit myself but tell her no I'd be game. She mentions how she has only ever had an orgasm once with a guy, so I'm fairly sure that is her goal for fooling around (no shit right). So the next day comes, I get there early before my gym session. She ends up having to make the first move because I'm nervous but after she kisses me it's go time. I give her what she was hinting at the previous night, enjoy myself and then we finish up right in time for me to hit the gym.
Now its weird for me, I've never done the fwb thing, and honestly I'm still just as sweet on her now as I was in highschool. She invites me over to hangout the next day as we had previously been doing and we cook and chill. Still flirty but nearly as much as before.
Yesterday we hang out again after I'm off work. Its late and its supposed to be at a party my friend is throwing although it ends up being just my four of us my bud and the girl and her friend. She pretty much has me on radio silence all night. She and I end up going to the kitchen to make some popcorn, and its the first time during the night that we really talk a lot. I can feel some tension and its almost like she is trying to keep me in the kitchen with her. I probably should've made a move, but I don't. We join back up with the friends, more hanging. End night.
I'm stuck guys. I'm so out of my area. I need advice or just some clarity on the situation. Did she just want an isolated quickie. Am I supposed to be making more of a move now? Or is it just too late.
