Here's the timeline:
I had a big gut feeling that feelings were mutual between me and a guy. He broke the touch barrier before. We've had some good eye contact.
A (guy) friend gave me some damn good advice on how to flirt/be nice to a guy. After I followed their advice, don't you know it, we had a great time. Lots of teasing, joking, references, laughing, smiling. The people around us were surprised by the change in our characters. We're both introverted.
In general, I text him first -- then he texts me back and uses emojis or writes a lot more. Apparently he is dry to others unless it's necessary.
However, we still both get extremely shy or nervous. Despite the times we were both extroverted and excited -- we still get quiet sometimes. In fact, I notice his ears become bright red around me. For me, I can't stop smiling. But we both can't say a word.
What can I do to relax the both of us/take it another level higher?
