Okay so for some background I met a guy at the gym and he’s super sweet. I’m going out with him Friday and we text too.
I’m autistic so my brain is wired a bit differently. I’ve been on dates and have gone out with other guys before, but there’s more of a connection here and more chemistry. He does smile at me a lot and we make a lot of soft eye contact (which is big for me, I avoid eye contact unless I feel comfortable with someone).
He was dropping hints of working out together so he can show me tips and he wants to hang back after class to help me out tonight. We’ve only ever talked in a group setting but things have kept going from there. We text every few days, I know we have stuff in common, and to me he’s attractive.
Flirting is difficult for me, but I do compliment him and tell him I like when he helps me out at the gym, which is what prompted the two of us actually going together.
He likes to give hugs (he gives the best hugs 😫). He’s given me help before but my friend is usually there to help me as I freeze up sometimes and I feel (and probably look) like a deer caught in headlights. Tonight she’s stepping back tonight so this guy and I can get to know each other better.
With that being said what do I do? Like exercise is good because it’s a common interest but I feel so clueless.
I guess my question is:
Would you touch him (like his arm, shoulder, etc) we’ve hugged before
What do you say (I get tongue tied around him sometimes)?
Easy flirting tips? (It’s difficult for me but I’m willing to try, I just don’t want to scare the guy off 😂)
I feel so clueless but this feels different because it’s natural and I’m a little nervous.
Most guys I’ve gone out with prior were more into me than I was into them, were stalkers of mine (after we dated), or gave mixed signals and dumped me fairly quick.
