Went on a date with a girl I like. We’ve already confessed how we feel each other and it’s mutual.
Anyway, I noticed recently that’s she’s called me nice and sweet and cute a lot recently and I’m starting to get worried due to her behaviour on this date.
Like I carried her satchel for her because she complained that it was too heavy and I paid for her tickets because I mean I’m taking her out and I’m cool with paying.
We caught the tram back and I had her satchel just sitting between us and she asked me if I was even sitting in the chair because from her perspective it might’ve looked like I was being pushed off by her bag? I wasn’t obviously, but I’m concerned that she even felt the need to even ask? Obviously I wouldn’t prioritise her bag over myself but the fact that she thought I would is concerning to me.
She also paid for some drinks afterwards, and after I said cheers she said “you just paid for the tickets earlier you don’t need to thank me,” in a way that implied I was weird for thanking her?
She’s called me nice, sweet and cute on multiple occasions in a positive way based on my actions. I’m not going out of my way to be nice or anything, it just sort of happens.
Anyway, I’m concerned that she thinks I’m a pushover and lack a backbone. I definitely don’t agree with her all the time and I tease her a lot in a jokingly mean manner which are things that aren’t usually associated with being too nice but… anyway what do you guys think? Should I go out of my way to be more assertive? Whenever I don’t agree with her I’ll say it, it’s not like I’m just doing whatever she says.
