Taking things slow

Hi all,

I wanted to get some advice about a girl I'm seeing. We were introduced by a friend and have seen each other about 6 times now with dates being coffee, lunch, outings to museum and dinner. I really like her but not sure how to proceed to the next level.

We've started holding hands after three dates but when I stand near here to go to kiss her she acts quite shy and doesn't look at me. So I end up kissing her on the cheek or forehead. I would like to kiss her but don't want to have to basically grab her head towards me. I get the feeling she likes me as she makes the effort to meet up and doesn't mind me putting my arm around her, though she doesn't lean into me.

She seems to be quite traditional in her upbringing so that maybe one reason. Should I bring it up or just carry on taking it slowly. The last thing I want is to lose any attraction that may be there by not doing anything. We're both in our thirties btw.

Many thanks

yes get a move on.
