So...FRUSTRATED...

you should talk to him. say something like, "do you really like me?" or "how much do you like me?" just see. if you never go, you'll never know. it's now, or never, girl.

well i agree with ur mom wait til he's ready u gotta let ppl express themselves at there own time cause if not he's gonna feel pressured an its onna be had for him!

I'm really sorry for saying this, but I kind of partially disagree with your mom. I respect her opinion and I believe that a guy should be the one taking charge sometimes and really giving his all for a girl, but sometimes not all guys have that creativity and confidence to actually be willing to show it to someone they like.

There is also nothing wrong with you making the first move, it shows confidence and charisma on your part, and nerdy guys (like me) are always shy and intimidated by girls like you, it isn't his fault it is just that sometimes we feel we aren't good enough for you.

There is always that struggle knowing that you can have anybody you wanted but you chose us, and we have to live up to it, and work to deserve that love but sometimes insecurity always holds us back.

I say talk to him, and I mean REALLY talk to him, because if your date went well then clearly he is a nice guy and he has feelings for you. You just need to somehow get him to come out of his shell, because a relationship has to be mutual, a give and take process.

Make a deal with him or better yet, issue a challenge "sort-of" to spice it up. Tell him that for the next date, you are just going to turn up and he has to take the reigns and take you where he wants to. This somehow forces him to plan something amazing for you, the more he gets to do this the more confident he will become the more you react to what he does. I'm sure he is a sweet guy and if given that one chance, he can really make your heart flutter like 10,000 butterflies :)

So talk to him, tell him that the next date, he has to plan it and make it special :) guys can't resist a challenge haha, and we will always compete to win your heart :)

what i think you should do is to make your own move. Boys usually catch on to a move if they know its ok with u!
