Hey everyone!
Just a man in need of dating advice. I’m not here to start any arguments, just need some friendly advice. I would prefer kind advice as well 😊
I have been on two dates with this girl. Feel like it has gone well. We have a little bit of distance between us (1.75 hours.) We have been talking about a third date which is great!
She has mentioned a few times that she is going slow. I’m completely okay with that and willing to invest the time needed for something special. I did give her a hug last date and she seemed fine with it. I really wanted to hold her hand but decided not to without communicating it with her first. After our date I decided to mention that I wanted to on our date but would love to next time…. Well she responds, “thanks for telling me! I usually move slow so it probably would have been awkward.” Got it, that’s okay!
Well I give it a few days and decided to ask how she’s feeling about everything. Wanted to know if she had concerns, questions, etc. Ultimately wanted to make sure we are on the same page. She responds like this, “I am concerned about our distance. I have had fun on our dates but I sometimes don’t know what to talk about with you and don’t get much eye contact from you. Everything has been good so far.” 😅
How on earth do I take that and respond to that? Conversations have felt smooth but it’s hard to keep it going out of fear of harder conversations causing things to go too fast per se. I’ve felt like my eye contact is okay but I don’t want to make her feel uncomfortable 😅
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks to anyone who takes time to respond!😊
