I'm seeing this girl and things are starting to get into relationship territory. However, I'm having difficulties with sexual escalation and am getting worried that she's getting bored. With other girls, I have little problem escalating sexually. Here's a rundown.
Some background on her
She's a Colombian Aupair who's been here for 6 months and lives with a family (so the logistics are bad). There's a language barrier, but she can understand me reasonably well. However, my flirting and jokes are often not understood. She's also Catholic and goes to church with that family every Sunday (she knows that I'm atheist and doesn't seem to mind).
1st date
We got coffee and went for a walk around the area. When we were about to play ping pong in my apartment lobby, I had to get a ball from my room and said something like, "do you want to come up?" She declined. This may be anti-slut defense and/or her being more traditional. No problem. Nothing physical happened, but I kissed her on the cheek at the end.
2nd date
We had sushi near her place and walked by the lake. I sexualized a bit here and there with some jokes and had her take a selfie of us where I kissed her on the cheek. So when we were alone at night, I said something like "we should kiss" to which she responded something like, "I'm getting shy", which really confused me (in retrospect, I shouldn't have said that). Anyways, a few minutes later, I just started kissing her. She stopped it after a bit. It seemed like she was worried it would escalate further. Subsequently, she asked me what I wanted. I responded something like "I'm not set on anything, but I like you" to which she said that she wants to get to know me and that she stopped talking to other guys on Bumble (she also said, that I was her first-ever Bumble date, which may or may not be true...).
3rd date
We had a picnic near her place (once again, bad logistics, but her area is nicer for picnics). We walked around by the lake again and made out a bit. She voluntarily showed me her Bumble, which confirmed that she had stopped texting other guys on there. It was a good 4-hour date. She started looking tired and yawning at the end, which is not a great sign, but she does wake up very early so it's understandable. I tried to schedule the 4th date at the end of the 3rd, but she said she's going out of town for a week. Nothing is set in stone; it was like a soft close. After she texted, "Me gusta las citas contigo!!!" and "Lindo diapara un londo chico!!", which translates, respectively, to "I like the dates with you!!!" and "A nice day with a nice boy!!".
Possible red flag: She's 24 years old and said she's had 8 boyfriends, none of which have lasted more than 2 months
My thoughts
Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.
It's nice that you're going on these dates but you need to be honest about your intentions.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to have sex. But you have to communicate your intent, and actually work your way through her objections if you want anything to happen my man.
The problem with your current situation is that soon enough you won't be approaching this from an abundance mindset. You are very set on locking her down and having sex with her, which will make you think of her all the time and potentially make you come off as needy.
Some people recommend talking to lots of girls because it's literally impossible to think deeply about so many people at once, but for you, I'd just recommend inviting her over to your place for a movie, set the logistics in your favor and make a move. She will object, and you will find your answer and move from there.
Hope this helps
I agree with this, thanks. I'm definitely inviting her to my place next time. In the meantime, I set up two dates with other girls to get my mind off of it haha.
I am apprehensive, though, about addressing sex directly without making things awkward.
Seems like you have just not been able to build tension with her. If you were kissing her in public, you should have grabbed the ass. It's not about "Oh. maybe shouldn't in public". It's about testing compliance. Turning her on and then taking her home or trying to pull and then addressing her objections
