Everyone wants to avoid awkward situations but sometimes it just can’t be helped. Many times this is because of timing, friends, and other factors that you just can’t control. For instance, say you meet a really cute girl that you want to take out. You muster up the courage, ask her out and have a pretty good time. Throughout the course of the date you have chemistry, but not enough to know if she’s actually into you or just being really friendly. As you take her home you don’t kiss her because you don’t want to move too quickly too fast, but you admit that it was sort of an awkward goodbye.
Well fast forward a week later and it’s New Year’s Eve. You decide to go on a trip with a few friends and this girl that you just took out is a part of that group. You know that at some point the countdown is going to happen and you are going to have to decide who to kiss. So here comes the real question; do you try and work it with this girl throughout the night and kiss her at the end of it or do you play hard to get, show no interest and kiss another girl to make her jealous?
One of the interesting things about dating is the games that you have to play in order to seem interested but not needy. The best way to go about this situation is to show interest in the girl throughout the night (not too much) and when it comes time for the countdown, go somewhere a little bit away from where she is and see if she follows. If she does then you know she is into you for sure, if she doesn’t then don’t get your hopes too far up but don’t give up either. She may just be a bit shy. But this is a good strategy to kind of feel the situation out.
Dating is a crazy world—sometimes referred to as a sport, or a battlefield, depending on your past experience and level of success. You have to go into it prepared for a number of things, and open to others. If you are deciding whether or not to jump into the online dating pool, here are a few tips to consider so that you can find that perfect fish to show off to your friends.
