Ok, so we've hung out twice. FIrst time i said it was strictly platonic (bad move i know but i had just gotten out of a previous relationship). We ended up having some great conversations and hanging out again. We had to take her car to go drop a family member off, and her car broke down, so we cuddled together in the back seat until pickup came... (during that time i told her to put my hand somewhere where it would be warm and she put it on her breast, lol) later we went and grabbed coffee and shit and we continued to have great conversation. I tried to keep it lighthearted and fun. Anyways long story short she suggested us hanging out again and doing a movie night, and we continue to text... Before i dropped her of from the first "date" i gave her a nice hug and kissed her on the cheek, and she reciprocated... Sounds good, but thing is, she is the shy type, and a little awkward, and she is very hard to read. She's super cute, but not incredibly flirty. How do I tell if i can go in for a real k close on the next one, and potentially an f-close on the one after that? Should I go in for the kiss close on the next time I hang out with her? Also I am having trouble figuring out how to escalate simple body contact too, and usually I'm great at it! This girl is just so different... maybe i just need to get over my own fear of going for it... Thing is though, this girl did this thing with one of my friends where she cuddled and fell asleep with him for a couple days, but nothing ever went any further... Idk, any suggestions for dealing with shy girls and how to close out on this one? Thanks guys...

Girls don't really feel comfortable every suggesting shit, and your saying this shy girl suggested doing a movie night...ill let that sink in for a bit.

ok if thats not enough, you guys cuddled in the backseat of the car until help arrived.
A girl doesn't do these things if she's not interested. I highly recommend you continue being yourself and doing what your doing since its working.

Just take that whole crappy mindset of thinking not knowing what to do next, and kiss her damn it.

KISS HER

hope that helps,

Thanks man, thats all I needed to hear. Just looking for some reassurance here...
