How to drop hints to a shy girl?

[SouthernYankee14]

So I met this girl about 3 weeks ago. I really like her, and we are becoming closer and more comfortable around each other each time we see each other. I want to really start dropping hints to her, but I'm not sure how. I've never had a girlfriend, so I have little to no experience in this type of thing.

The other problem with this situation is that she is naturally shy and not used to flirting either. She has never had a boyfriend. She is the type of girl that likes her personal space with people she doesn't know a whole lot. Things that are super obviously flirting would just intimidate or scare her. That's what I'm trying to avoid. That being said, she has definitely become more comfortable around me. We laugh and joke whenever we see each other. We also bond a lot over music and movies/tv shows. So I think I can start dropping subtle hints without scaring her. But nothing too much.

So what do I do?

About a week ago we were hanging out and she was laughing really hard at something, so much that she was crouching down. I put my hand on her shoulder and said something like, "Keep it together! Compose yourself!" Just jokingly. As soon as I touched her, she shot right up but kept laughing a little bit. Not gonna lie, it was a bit awkward. Not sure if she was nervous/excited that I touched her or uncomfortable because she didn't like that.

Since then, she has become more comfortable around me

Try flirting with really small things nothing sexual like I don't know cuddling or something that settle or if thats to much try a hug

Cuddling is too much right now. Honestly, a hug would even be weird. The way our personalities are, that would just be awkward for both of us. If we were dating or very close to it. I'd say that's fine. But right now when I don't have much of a read on her, it'll just be uncomfortable for both of us

Did not realize it was that bad lol sorry just trying to deal with my own problems with a girl right now

Well if she's more comfortable around you know because. you put your hand on her shoulder maybe a hug isn't far off just next time you guys say bye to each other asks if she wants a hug because if she says yes then you have broken that touch barrier which is neccsary for things to develop an if she stales for a bit because of. it part of her wants to the other. part is scared of unknown consiquoncess. Sorry about the bad spelling

Forgot to add the part right now from what you said you are riding a very very fine line which she is possibly deciding on her own feelings for you

Tell Her that you have a medical problem and your penis is swollen, then ask her if she'll be kind enough to massage it with her mouth.
