Yes give him time to come out of his shell,

 

personally I needed a little help from my girl on this, she would be more extroverted than I am and I needed a little encouragement to get flowing

 

an outdoor date might help, once he relaxes and is comfortable it could be a good match for you both.

Okay just wanted to give an update. For our third date, I invited him over this past weekend to help make a cake for my sisters birthday party. He was so much more relaxed when we were actively doing something. So I think that was a good call. He stayed pretty late too, and we talked for a long time. Again I found myself guiding most of the conversation but it didn’t feel nearly as awkward or force as before.

 

 

I guess I’m still a little confused. It’s been three dates and we’re still talking via the app we met on because he hasn’t said anything about swapping numbers. Also he did finally kiss me when he left after I took the advice I got here and made sure to make him very aware it was what I wanted lol it was a pretty tame kiss but it’s all good. Clearly he needs to go slow so that’s fine...again just find it amusing that he’s very suggestive with me over text sometimes and can barely summon the nerve to kiss me in person haha

 

But he’s very sweet and I like him so we will see what happens.

Solve your own problem. You ask for his # to get you both off the app.

 

Otherwise your slow but steady thing adding in activities seems like the solution. Enjoy!
