Well first of all let me introduce myself a bit, I am 24 years old and overall I'd say above average good looking, nothing special but my looks do the trick needed. I work for a corporation as a manager so in that respect I get a lot of respect. Over the past 6 years I've had 3 live in girlfriends, the first for 3 years, second for 3 years, and last for 2 months. I've dated a total of maybe 15 women before, since my age of 15 or 16 (serious dating). Right now, I just feel like I am doing something wrong, and that is why I am here for help!
I've been putting myself out there again, and recently started talking to my assistant manager (and good friend)'s best friend and we have been sort of hitting it off in a sense, it started all with looks and then it turned into us exchanging numbers and now we talk nearly every day. The thing is, she is 18 years old and has had some bad experiences in the past with boyfriends, and sort of has her walls up, although she does talk to me quite a bit. We've talked about quite a lot, and after I felt comfortable a few days in, decided on a date.
I took her to the park and we went down and walked by the beach and then sat down and held hands and talked for a while, she looked happy etc. Then we walked back to her car, talked a bit more, and before leaving she leaned in and gave me a hug and then we kissed. Overall I'd say a pretty successful date. I also asked her to lunch and it was accepted for a 2nd date. I just don't want her to get bored of me, or to lose her in somehow, because lately I have been having problems really getting out there and picking up girls...I need some tips. Especially in making this one last, and bringing down her walls. What can I say/do to make her feel like she wants to be with me?
I think also she is more used to a sexual relationship than anything else as wel, and believe me I want that but I don't want it to end there. We talk about it a lot and she seems to really enjoy talking about it, but I don't want to push my luck. Her last boyfriend she broke up with a few weeks almost a month ago but she walked in on him with his roommate, and has had similar bad luck before, so I think this may be in her head and hurting her in a way from moving forward. I'm just not really sure where to go from here, and any help is appreciated.
Also any tips on girls in general, I'd love to hear. Thanks all, and have a great day
