You have been dating a nice woman, and the two of you seem to feel at ease with each other and enjoy being together. It feels right being with her, but you have yet to touch, to hold hands, to exchange more than a hug and a nominal kiss or two. Where do you go from here?
You can choose deeper personal subjects, set up lines of communication.
Establish a rapport by sharing your past, your pain and disappointments as well as your triumphs and joys. Laughing together, crying together. Also by slowly and reverently peel back the layers of mystery in each other.
Share interests, activities, and hobbies. Play games you both enjoy, board games, lawn games, tennis, handball, croquet.
Prepare home cooked meals for her, and volunteer to wash the dishes when she cooks for you. Don't forget to praise her recipes.
You might also develop customs and "traditions" unique to yourselves as a couple.
• Celebrate the monthly anniversary of your first meeting with a small party.
• Give her little, inexpensive presents (stuffed animals, key chain trinkets, bath soaps). The personal touch counts.
• Remember 'special' dates, not just her birthday.
Very important! that you build trust. You should be reliable, act honorably, and treat her with respect. And yes always keep your word. Always! |
