Thanks
again, blak, you're quite the helpful guy!
I have a question or two...I'll update the situation first though, just so y'all know where I'm at.
Ok, after going home for a week I came back to my uni home so I could see her again (didn't tell her that though, just told her I wanted a change of pace from home
). To try and do something interesting and exciting I suggested that we go to a theme park, which we did. We got on well all day, lots of flirting, negging and the like. I dropped her off at the end of the day and went for the lips this time (owning the moment
).
Two days later we went to the cinema. I really wanted to put my arm around her, but felt that it was a little cliché and so held it off. (bad idea?/is there anything else i could do?)
We then went for a drink where after alot of "what if..." conversations, she told me that she thinks I'm mysterious (quite a shock to me, I think I'm anything but!) and has no idea what I think of her/ has never met anyone like me before(!) which was VERY unexpected...After this I couldn't stop grinning and all I could think of to reply with was "maybe I should stay mysterious then". She then asked if I could pick one word to describe her what would it be. I chose kooky...I think she
may have been expecting something else =P
Anyway, I take her to the bus stop and just before she gets on I grab her by the waist and pull her in for a kiss...we go for the cheeks first off but I suggest "trying that one more time" and go for a lil' making out.
That was all last week. After both occasions she texted me saything that she'd had a great time and we've spoken a few times on msn since.
So all sounds like it's going well I guess, but like I said, i have a few questions...
Ok, I
still haven't put my arm around her/held her hand...I guess I'm worried that it'll look cheesy or something. Any tips on how i can initiate either of these? Although, while at the theme park I had mild sucess. On the rollercoasters I could get away with it to calm her nerves, but while walking around the park I suggested warming up her freezing hands with mine, but she was just like "it's ok, I'm used to cold hands.."
Something else that's bugging me is that she keeps bringing up her ex up in conversations...I just kinda blank it and try to move onto something a little less uncomfortable, but from what i can tell they were
really into one another. I'm curious to learn why they broke up etc, especially since she's apparantly going to the same gig as him next week and I don't want any old flames re-igniting, under the influence of alcohol or not! I've kinda held off asking anything on that subject when she brings it up since past boyfriends always make me feel like I have herculean things to live up to. Any tips on how I can bring it up without sounding pathetic? =P
Thanks again guys, hopefully I won't need to bug you again over this case!
