So, I was recently asked out by my closest guy friend who also has anxiety. We both liked each other but were too shy to say anything. Finally he got the courage to ask me out on a date. Unfortunately, it was right before I needed surgery, so we have to wait to go out officially. He has been coming over and spending time with me during my recovery and we have gotten closer (he lives next door). One night, he came over for dinner and he was dressed nicely, shaved, his hair slicked back - he must have thought it was our date. I was only wearing a sweat outfit lol. I was well enough to go over his apartment and meet his friends who were in from out of town. When he walked me back to my apartment, we stayed outside the door talking/flirting. He seemed really nervous and kept leaning in a few times but would pull back. I really wanted to kiss him and could tell he wanted to kiss me, but he never did. After a while of standing, my surgery pain was bothering me and I told him I needed to go inside and lay down. As I was opening the door, he gave me an awkward shoulder touch, but no kiss. He is coming over in a few days and I want to make sure I get that kiss, but I don't want to have to make the first move. How do I let him know it's okay to kiss me or make him feel less nervous? He keeps acting different around me now like he is trying to impress me, but I like him better when he is just himself. I like the fact that he is a gamer nerd and anime lover who has a feminine side haha. I like the way he is passionate about telling stories and how caring he is. I find his nervousness adorable, but it is also frustrating. How do two shy people get past their nervousness and make a move on each other? I just want him to kiss me! :p
