Beginning of a relationship

[Boy]

Hi,

Me and this girl are 23-24 yo.
I wrote here about a week ago about her.
I started dating her last week.
Even though we don't share much in common, I'm impressed by her personality and character and would like to be with her.
So we dated a few times and it seems nice.

She was hurt by men before and finds it hard to trust me (we share short history where I let her down a few times so it's hard for me to gain her trust again).

I have an issue I'd like to share with you.
Unlike her, I'm very inexperienced when it comes to intimacy.
As she doesn't trust me yet had a bad experience with men regarding sex, I don't know when it's the right time to make a move, like kissing her.
However, sometimes I feel that she wouldn't mind if I got close to her but I'm not sure whether to make this move or not.
How do I know when it's the right time to get closer intimately?

Thanks for any advice.

Have you had a chat about your feelings for each other? if not it might be a good idea just to make sure you're on the same page and she will appreciate it even if you're not because it shows you're considerate and she can know where she is with you and you with her.
Then depending on how that conversation goes i would ask her if you can kiss her. Again it's curtesy and shows you're a nice guy who won't make moves if she's not comfortable with them.

All women don't think alike so it's hard to come up with one generic answer. At the end of the day,
only you can be the judge of when is the best time for you to kiss her. But, maybe you can talk
with her about the intimate stuffs and see if her reaction is positive or not. All the best.
