Search Results: how to read body language

The other day I went on a date with a girl and she commented on my height. The last time we saw each other in person was about 7 years ago when I was 14 or 15, and I was a late bloomer so I was just a little kid. I'm now 6'2" and although she's seen photos of me, when we met again I noticed that she looked a bit surprised by my height. She later commented that I was much taller than she expected but she was really nervous and shy all date so I found it hard to read her body language and I couldn't figure out if it was a compliment or not.

I've heard that girls generally find height attractive but I'm curious to know how much it really matters.

I have a wife who cooks for me, cleans for me, gives me financial advice, and pleases me sexually.

I personally provide for her as we are in a traditional relationship. She's been with me through the worst times and helps me through the thick and thin.

I was her first. The first man to have sexual experiences with her at least and she gave her my virginity. I've only had 1 body, for I'm a religious person and would ideally want to wait for marriage.

We were thinking of talking about children in the future, and she would be willing to give me my first daughter or son. We read our Bible together and she stays in the means of boundaries that I've set for her.

She has no guy friends, no drama, and she's an honest woman. It's my goal to provide for my family and since my love language is gift giving, I get her little small gifts like some 20 dollar shoes every few months, or take her out to nice little restaurants.

At times, even when my money's low I still get groceries to show that I love her dearly.

I was just wondering if I was being a simp. We're both quite happy. She makes art of me, and small collages of our moments, and collects sentimental items from our past for rememberable times we had.

I can't tell if I'm simping though or if I'm doing okay.

Hello!

I had my first date with a girl yesterday.

Everything went smooth and actually pretty good, in my opinion.

• Chat went smooth, no awkward silence.
• Laughed a lot together.
• Saw her stare (in the periphery) at me when she showed me something on her phone.
• She had open body language: No arms across or wandering eyes on the surroundings.
• She let me pay the bill.
• Bumped shoulders a lot during walk.
• Physical contact (during laugh or showing/pointing at something etc): Stroke her back/arm/hand on knee, and no signs of withdrawal, so I assume she was comfortable with me.
• Didn't kiss, because I don't want to do that first date, but we did a farewell (long) hug.
  *We said we had a good time, before we part.

So withing one hour I also sent her a follow-up message, yet again that I had a great time with her and I'm open to have a second date.

Now she have been online on FB-Messenger 2-3 times since the date.
She haven't "read it" it though, but I'm sure you can read it in the notificationbar and then swipe it away.

My question.

• Why would you not respond to a successful date?
• How long should I wait before sending a text again, and what should I say without come out as needy?
