I (28F) recently started dating. I’m what you would call a late bloomer. I am inexperienced, but have since gone on a few dates. The most recent one I went on, I cannot stop thinking about.

We have been talking for about two weeks and he (30M) invited me out. Like the other dates, I thought it was going to be awkward getting to know each other but we immediately hit it off. It just felt so natural. We walked around and he held my hand. We talked about anything and everything, getting to know each other. At one point we sat down on a bench and he caressed my hand as I lay my head on his shoulder. Toward the end of the date, he said he wanted to kiss me. So we did. He said he was not expecting us to kiss, that it’s not something he normally does on first dates, but it just felt right. I didn’t tell him this but it was actually my first kiss ever. We kissed some more but then I got really flustered and pulled away.

We talked about it and I accidentally blurted out some things that I was meaning to hold back until our third or fourth date if we made it that far. I let my guard down. But I just felt so comfortable around him I couldn’t stop myself.

Now I’m worried the first date went so fast especially with my lack of experience. He definitely has more experience than me. And even though it felt like we’ve known each other for a while, I don’t actually know him. I don’t want to be taken advantage of because I’m infatuated. He could be saying all those things as a mask. Although when I pulled away, he did respect my boundaries and we didn’t do anything I didn’t consent to.

When we said our goodbyes we hugged and kissed again and talked about seeing each other soon. Now I’m just replaying everything in my head over and over again. Any advice?

  1. Do you guys talk all the time? You may tell him that you are not much experienced. If he is a decent person, he wold understand and this may make you relaxed. I hate dating anxiety so it is always great to communicate.
