So i met this girl through mutual friends - she is about 3 hrs driving away which is not really long distance and not a dealbreaker either. We texted eachother a bit before and we finally met over the weekend over lunch + coffee and chat ...all in all it lasted about 3.5 hours. I do want to continue but not sure how to gauge her interest - do i ask her outright how she feels about it and if we should continue or just ask to meet again and if she says "yes" then that's green light. I am asking since it does take a bit driving back and forth and i kind of want a "yes, i am interested" not "yes, let's hang out". I had both instances in closeby dates which didn't matter much to me but this is a bit far.
Also couple of things maybe experts can help out:
1. she was fidgeting with her shirt quite a bit when we chatted - does this mean anything?
2. When i was walking her to the subway station she was putting on her lipstick..... did i miss a signal or it was just that?
3. There were a lot of people near the station so i shook her hands but seems she was aiming for a hug.. guess i messed that up
thanks in advance!
