I’ve dated this girl about 2/3 times a month or so (on average) for the last 4/5 months …

We lead busy lives and also are students who have to work so there’s only so much time in the week. However, after a recent quiet patch between our communications, she wants to go out again and socialise and whatnot. I’m always getting mixed vibes with her when we’re not physically together and I understand that it’s probably the fact that, with most women, it’s about trusting that someone before you take it to the next level or anything and the fact that electronic communication is limited on the emotional front. I’m clueless when it comes to knowing these things. However, I just want some advice when getting back into the dating thing with her, for the last month we haven’t seen each other with exams and work (stressful times) we have messaged each other but I know that doesn’t really count for much. When I’m with her though we have a good time, we laugh and we have similar interests and I think we could be great together. How do you step up the relationship with a busy person? When’s the right time to bring it up? Is it right to even bring it up all (I like you alot etc etc) … most of my relationships in the past haven’t been this drawn out, there’s some anxiety as, well, i’m trodding on unfamiliar territory. We’re both not dating other people, as, when we have a spare moment we try and see eachother. But now, since holidays loom, we’re about to get back into it and possibly see more of each other. Any help would be great. thank you :-) p.s. she also hasn’t ever really had a long-term relationship before of any seriousness. Could this be problematic at all and maybe hold us back?

i reckon she may be waiting for you to breach the subject mate. to save you many hours of agonising over it, just ask her. if she says no, well it saved you spending more time on a dead end doent it?

and bring it up when you feel comfortable talking about it, probably best not just out of the blue though.

hope this helps, and best of luck.

Ugh. I hate all this “I like you” crap. If your actions don’t say it, it ain’t true.

If you want to spend time with someone, you make it a priority. “Busy” is an excuse, not reality. When you really want something, you make the time. If you want to get to know someone you could schedule 30min coffee chats and work your way up.
