A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi cupid,

This girl told me she liked me by saying that as long as I'm at her party than that's all that matters. So because I liked her as well I decided to ask her out. We went to the cinema and for something to eat. She was really quiet whilst we were eating and i was just trying to keep a conversation up.

During the film I wanted to put my arm around her but she was leaned fully back and the seats were too high and I couldn't hold her hand cause she kept both her hand on her stomach close to her.

After the film she was more talkative. She said she enjoyed the film etc. and then I found myself asking her questions about things she likes. On the train home and when we were waiting she was really quiet again. She started looking at her phone and texting I think.

We said goodbye and then hugged.

Is she telling me something or was she just nervous?

It could be either really, she could be nervous or she may just have felt awkward and didn't want to be there.

Cinema is worst idea for a first date OP. Don't do that again. I know lots of people think it's cool and all that but sitting in a dark room for 2 hours not being able to talk and with all the awkwardness "should I put my arm around her" kills the mood. If she was nervous then she would have been even more nervous sitting in a dark room with you hoping you don't try and kiss her or something.

Really cinema is the worst idea for a first date.

First dates are about putting the other person at ease while you get to know them, not putting them on the spot like you do in a cinema. There really is nothing worse when you're nervous because you have to spend 2 hours there still feeling anxious about what's going to happen. Besides cinema dates aren't for watching movies they're for getting it on.

Let her off for a little while and let her contact you next.

In the future don't go to the cinema for dates until you've already reached the point of being able to kiss her and hold her freely. Otherwise it's just awkward.

Nervous and shy maybe?

Personally I think texting whn you're on a date is a little rude but apart form that it could just be nerves.

Aunty Susie agony auntDon't give up yet. Maybe on the next date she'll be more relaxed. It is hard when you are just getting to know each other. Make sure you ring her, and ask her out again. Movies are always an awkward way to spend a first date. Good luck

Dear Mandy agony auntHI

sounds like she was really nervous. Sometimes when a girl likes a boy so much they get all butterflies in their stomach ( which is probally why she was holding hers ) lol and when we get like that, we find it hard to think of anything to talk about, in case we end up talking like a blubbering fool :)

Also she may have not wanted to do the arm round the shoulder thing in the pictures, because its early days yet. Why dont you take her ice skating? good way of breaking the ice so to speak, that way you can hold her hand as your both skating, and it will be fun. But nervous yes I think she is . x
