"Am I doing things right?"
Dear Lynn,

My friend has set me up with this girl I really like we have been out twice and we have laughed alot its very easy and chilled and I really enjoy her company. We can hold eye contact and we walked in arm in arm when we went for a walk, but then later on she didnt and I got worried that she didnt like me or maybe she was expecting me to do something. She doesn't text me first I text her but she does text back, my girlfriend broke up with me 6 months ago so I am very paranoid about things and I read too much into things. I just dont know whether shes interested in me or not, any advice would be great

Hi there. It does sound as though you maybe reading too much into things but its understandable after your previous relationship. I’m sure if this lady wasn’t interested in you she wouldn’t bother to text you back also have you thought that maybe she doesn’t text you first as she doesn’t want to appear to keen and scare you off. If things are taking a turn for the worst I'm sure you will know about it. To put your mind at rest, why not ask her out on another date. If she accepts it should show you that she is still interested. If she declines, perhaps you could ask her outright if she wants to call it a day, so at least then you will know for sure. Let us know how you get on. x

just chill out and try not to read too much into all the signals. Just do what you feel like. I hate the games of who has to call first at the beginning so I always just go for it, i find it easier to just be honest. If she didnt want to talk to you then she wouldnt reply so just call her. Most girls like the guys to make the first moves anyway so i wouldnt worry too much about it, if its meant to work out it will

She's probably trying really hard not to text you first, trying not to seem too keen! Us girls are used to men who run a mile if we come on too strong. My friends are always telling me 'don't text him first!' As she gets to know you better I'm sure things will relax more.

Yes i have to agree,with the above,just take one day at a time,its early days yet,she might of been feeling a little unwell that day even,or some other little reason,plus she might even be feeling warey due to her past too and shes just testing to see how much you like her by letting you do the texting first, i know its hard when you have a past and the paranoia sets in,and things play around in your head,but this is just going to put a dampener on what could be a happy relationship, but time will tell in the end,enjoy it how it is now and if things are meant to work out they will.hope this helps.x

Mate my advice would be if you've only been out twice and had such fun, why you worried? Its hard to see sometimes whats right infront of you she obviously cares else she'd of quit textin after the second date.

Keep it up enjoy every second and you cant lose.

try not to play texting games its simply clouds things, be open and honest mate, tell her you like but want to get to know her better.

well it's quite difficult to write about oneself when u know that others will be judging u on what u write, i'm just going to be simple and fly straight. I've been told that i'm a classylady with a great dress sense,i'm an optimistic person who has a variety of interests open minded, creative, adventurous and spontaneous....Huh......Someone who is gentle yet aggressive, sexy and ravenous yet romantic, playful and confident, I love to be pleased. I am hungry, come feed me if you can. I am a very open minded person and very accepting. When it comes to a man that I care about I am affectionate and passionate. I love to kiss............lol....

The easiest thing to do is just ask. Just chill and don't push it. Most women like to be chased to a certain extent.
Also find out what she said to your friend that set you up...
