hey everyone! i haven't been on here to write a post for a while, but I read this forum daily
I just have a quick question for you folks. I've been interested in this girl for a few months now, and I know for a fact that it is mutual. In the beginning she was unsure but as we have gotten to know each better, it has certainly become more important for both of us. Anyway, she is far away for the summer as she lives far away from where we both go to college. She came to visit for a few days last month and we saw a lot more of each other than was planned, it was really nice. She has made it clear that while she is not looking for an exclusive relationship, she does actually really feel strongly about me (my hope is that she may change her mind about the relationship, but I know that's not how people work).
anyway, I know that she is interested in hooking up with me and definitely sees me as completely male. So that part isn't the part I have a question about. This is the first time in my life that someone i've liked first has actually been interested. When she was here, I didn't really have it in me to make the first move as I'm really shy about that, so we didn't hook up at all. After she left I sent her a message and I was like listen, I really like you, but I'm really shy about hooking up with people. She said she figured that out, and that she is definitely interested, but that in hindsight she realized that she was putting it on me to make the first move based on her own gendered expectations and she apologized for that.
Here comes the actual question... She is coming back in a week and a half and I'm really excited to see her, but I'm also nervous about hooking up with her, because I have very little experience with making a first move. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to proceed? I really like her and don't want to blow it and I have that feeling where I know how awkward I am about it and don't really want that to come across since for some reason she still thinks of me as a cool person lol
I would really just appreciate advice on the whole situation. Thanks guys!
