My girlfriend still isn’t ready to kiss me yet?

I (M20) just got back from our date couple hours ago. We had a great time and I really did enjoy it but the whole time it felt like half I’m here with my girlfriend (F18) and the other half I’m with a friend. At the end of the date we were saying goodbye and I asked if I could kiss her on the cheek. She told me she’s not there yet but a hug is good so I hugged her and left.

I was disappointed but what can I do she’s just not there yet. It’s gotten better a Month ago we didn’t each touch each other at all and now hugging feels normal. I won’t lie it does bum me out that I haven’t kissed her yet. I kissed her on the cheek for the first time a month ago and after she told me that we weren’t there yet but we will be so I just thought a month later she’d be ready for it but she’s not.

We’ve been dating for almost 2 months and we’re getting to know each other for 5 months before that. This is both our first relationship so maybe she just needs more time. I’m not sure what I can do except wait for her to be ready which I don’t know when that will be. Could be a month or even a year and at some point I’ll start to think that she may not like me romantically. I’m fine with waiting but I can’t wait years you know?

Other than this we have a really good relationship, we have cute nicknames for each other and we understand each other pretty well and she’s like my best friend. She always remembers important things I tell her so I don’t want to breakup with her so please don’t put comments like that.

I’m just looking for some feedback and if anyone has gone through something similar like this and what they did to further the relationship.
