6 dates and still no kiss, nothing!

[SANDY18]

ok, so its been 6 dates that i have been seeing this guy, and i really like him... he txt me all the time, he calls me without me asking or anything... and when we see eachother its amazing! the most physical it got was the hug and cheek to cheek kiss he gives me at the beginning and at the end of the date. he already told me that he is taking things slow becasue im a very sweet and nice girl and he doesnt want me or him to get hurt . Also its been 4 months that i have broken up with my long term bf of 9 years, and also his ex cheated on him with her ex.... so i dont know how to react to him taking his time, or him not making a move.... im over my past relationship even tho it was so long but lets just say i started getting over it i lil while before it was actually over.... i dont know what to do is it possible he wants to be sure im over my ex so he wont get hurt again?? is it safe to make a move first??

Have you touched him at all, like grabbing his had when walking or putting your hand on his hand or arm when talking to him? If not start with that. If you are feeling bold the next time he leans in for a kiss move your head so it lands on your lips and lock on. Get a little flirty in your conversation, and use some double entendres, etc, and look into his eyes with that 'I want you real bad' look.

As a guy, making the move would be appreciated. He may be trying to be the gentleman. Don't be alarmed. If I wasn't certain with your past and you expressed a need to take it slow, I would be a little cautious too. Just let the guy know that you want him to do more and/or just do it....

It's been 6 dates! He needs to make a move. Kiss his azz.

Damn, been on dates with women where they friend-zoned me because I didn't try to have sex with her by date 2.

I would just kiss him, not hat I have ever been in this situation

Bet this guy's gonna be a real tiger in bed. OP, this guy doesn't sound like he's really available for a relationship. You have shown much patience here. Would bring it up on the phone maybe and see what he says. Sorry you are having to go through this frustrating treatment. You seem to really like this guy or I'd say to just move on to a more red-blooded man.

He's just being cautious because he was burned by his ex. It hasn't been that long since your LTR break-up either so I think it is the right thing to take things slow. He will have some trust issues and you will just need to be patient as trust is only gained over time.

I agree with ascendotum, You can encourage him to pace it up. Start making it clear to him that you want him to. Flirt. Touch him. Enjoy the excitement of the anticipation because that's fun in itself.

Some guys are a bit shy to "make the first move". Definitely give him some little physical hints. Touching his hand while talking at dinner is a good one, or leaning over into him when laughing at something he said.
