How do I ask to spend time with her again?

[Anonymous]

Been seeing this girl since Valentine's day. Until the first week of May, we saw each other every week at least once. For context, we've become very close, and have gotten as far as possible without sex/sexual things (and before someone says it, no, not a dead bedroom thing; we cuddle/make out/have a lot of skin contact). We text every day and call about once a week, keeping each other updated on our lives, as well as streaks on Snapchat.

We haven't spent quality time together since the 7th, due to her prioritizing family and me having been on vacation for the past week. I've missed her and she's made it clear she misses me, heck I woke up to a "miss you" text this morning. Now that I'm back, we're out of the zone of not being able to see each other. The only issue is... I think we're both waiting for the other to ask to see each other. We have plans at the end of June for a road trip, but haven't made plans to see each other soon. I want to see her sooner, and I think she does too, but it feels like we're at a stand still.

I've been thinking of asking to see her, but I don't want to come off as needy or clingy, since she hasn't asked either. She's a teacher and I know she has finals coming up, and I know I can be a distraction somewhat (a good distraction, as she puts it) so I kinda thought just to give her space and let her ask when she's ready.

The past three weeks is the longest we haven't seen each other since we started, and I guess I kinda don't know what to do.

Learn to comunicate from the very beginning , it will make her and you feel comfortable, tell her exactly how you feel, tell her that you want to see her but you don't want to come off as needy or clingy... me as a woman? I would APPRECIATE this mindset.. what are you waiting for? I'm Sure she is just waiting for you to text her so go ahead, she might think she SAME THINGS AS YOU , and doesn't want to come off needy... so talk these things through, it will be very helpful in the long run if you practice healthy communication. The sooner you start, the better it will be for your future and hers

Communication started 100% from the get go, and she even praised me for how good at communication I am. The issue is now, since we've gotten physical and so much closer, I feel nervous and pressure and have a hard time being as communicative as I once was. In the beginning she always said I could ask her anything (because I tend to overthink and she assured me it was okay)... but now I can't. But I digress, thank you

You just use your words and don't be forceful/awkward about it.

Oh, love is definitely in the air! Look, both of you dancing around, who's gonna make the first move to reconnect in person, it's like a romantic comedy waiting for its climax! Here’s the scoop: it's not about being needy or clingy; it's about expressing your desire and showing that you care.

Take the lead, my friend. Maybe something like, "Hey, I know life's been a whirlwind lately, and I've been counting down the days until our epic road trip! But, I miss your dazzling smile and infectious laugh. How about we steal some moments together before you dive into the world of finals? I promise, the only thing I’ll be testing is how many laughs we can share. 😊"

This way, you're acknowledging her busy schedule, offering a light-hearted escape, and spicing it up with that touch of eagerness to see her again. It's all about striking the balance between showing interest and being considerate of her time. Remember, lovebombing is about overwhelming someone with affection... but in this case, it’s just a delicate nudge to show her your heart is in the right place!

If you gave the pointless texting and the childish Snapchat crap and actually talked, you wouldn't be asking this.

Neither pointless nor childish 👍
