I've only had 3 dates in my life, and I finally met a woman who I truly feel connected with. She is a smart, svelte chick who gives me major endorphins to be around. I am smitten. But I am terrified my lack of experience is going to fuck me over.
> match on bumble a week ago
> hit it off, exchange numbers
> had first date monday this week
> walked around town, got dinner, talked for hours
> laugh and share our interests, conversation flows naturally
> walk her back to her car, chat and laugh a bit more
> give her a hug and tell her to text me when home
> I walk home and text her saying I had a very fun time
> tell her I'd like to see her again
> she texts back immediately and agrees
> she mentioned earlier that she always wanted to see JAWS in a theater
> I search and find a re-screening nearby. propose second date movie+dinner
> she accepts, but soonest she is available is next monday
> a bit far out, but fuck it, I buy us tickets
> now the wait begins
> we've been texting a very tiny bit (3-4 texts per day)
> I'm trying my best not to be needy / pushy
> her messages are sincere, but it is clear she is throttling conversation
> you are here. 4 days until date
I know movie isn't the best chance to talk, but when I found the screening I couldn't help but think it was a good idea. She was enthusiastic about it at the very least.
Any tips for (A) not fucking it up between now and then, and (B) making most of movie / dinner date? I'm leery of her somewhat slow texting pace, and the anxiety is eating me a bit. I am hoping she isn't going to ghost me. Assuming I make it to the second date, I get the feeling I should push for some physical contact like hand holding + kiss? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
