Iin: really not sure about this?
Hi there. I'm going to try to get right to the point. So I met this woman at work and I could tell right away that she would be the 'type' for me. She is shy, quiet and smart all at the same time- perfect!
However, I feel unsure about a few things. I haven't yet, in my life, ever had a true girlfriend so my ineptitude when it comes to dating shines through here. I feel as though she does like me, but she doesn't present a lot of flirtation. She, is in a lot of ways like me. She is really shy about opening up and letting people ''in'' to her life. So I'm optimistic about that. I'm also rather confident because we always keep in touch, and we have hung out on a few occasions.
But...at the same time, I also feel that it's just another woman who just doesn't feel the chemistry and just wants to be friends. I think a lot of this has to do with confidence and social skills. It's unfortunate because she is a lot like me, but I feel that if I had just an ounce of social skill when it comes to flirting/relationship stuff, I'd be in a better situation.
I guess my question would be: how do I handle this going forward? Do I just lay on super-thick flirtations, or just keep talking to her?
And just for decorum sake- Is It Normal?
