I went on a date last night to see a band with a girl from okcupid. She was nice enough but I couldn't read her AT ALL. She was very quiet/shy, didn't look me in the eyes much, I think she was very nervous. I'm not the best conversationalist but I did 80% of the talking.

 

She seemed nice enough and I'd put it down to shyness, she was very indecisive about pretty much everything.

 

I'd see her again because she seems like a genuinely nice person if I could get her to open up a bit. But I don't know how to tell if she was interested at all. I hugged her at the end of the night, I get the impression she wouldn't have been assertive enough to make any kind of move herself.

 

The problem is, I have no idea if she was interested at all. She didn't seem to show any emotion-- positive or negative. At the end of the night she seemed to relax a little bit more but I still couldn't get a feel for how much (if at all) she was interested.

 

I don't wanna discount her completely if she's up for a second date, she may have really liked me which made her so shy. Alternatively she might have been really bored... I genuinely could not tell.. haha.

 

I guess I should just invite her out again and see what happens? I'm also fairly she'd wait for me to make the next move if she does like me.

 

On the flip-side, I probably didn't seem very interested either because I couldn't tell anything about her :-\

Some people just take a little time to open up and once they get to know you better they become much more outgoing. Especially since you met her online I'd give her 2-3 dates assuming she's still interested and see if she becomes more outgoing. When you're talking try mixing in a question that can't be answered by a short answer.

Yeah I think you're right.

 

I asked her out again and she said yes :) We're going to see another band in a couple of weeks but she's always slow (like a few days) to respond to messages. I don't know how to take that, heh. I still have no idea about her level of interest.

I'm in pretty much the same situation as you, OP.

 

Could you please post an update after your date i.e - did she come out of her shell (that sounds kind of sexual!).
