Hey, an update on the situation.
I went out on that date with her last Sunday and for the most part, I think it was a blast. That said, I feel like I should err on the side of caution and not view things too optimistically since I have made that mistake before. However, I don’t want to be too cynical about my prospects either since that won’t help me get any more objective a grasp of the situation.
Right now, I’d like to point out some positives and negatives that I’d noticed about the date, and I hope you can help me figure if I am overanalysing any one detail, whether positive or negative;
Positives:
She’s generally happy to restart a conversation if things go quiet
No real awkward silences; majority of silences feels natural
She asks a lot of questions about my family life, and in return shares a lot about her family too
Willing to hold hands and interlock fingers
Agrees with me on many topics of conversation such as importance of appreciable distance in relationships, how children should be raised, what kind of cities we’d like to live in etc.
Laughs at my jokes, even the intentionally stupid ones
Suggests idea for next date
Negatives:
Initially was very reluctant to go into ‘risky’ situations
Did not seem as eager to talk about her ambitions
Never initiated hand holding
Did not let me pay for dinner
She turned away pretty quickly at the end of our date
Thanks for looking through this and I hope to hear from you soon. 🙂
