She tells me she considers us casually dating but doesn't want to put a label on it. (I've never even heard the term casually dating before then by the way.) I am really confused by the whole thing. I've recently gotten out of a long and horrible relationship. As in years. I never had any relationships before that one I just got out of so I really dont have any experience. I'm feeling a lot of emotions for this girl that I haven't had before even in the relationship prior. I've been getting what I think are signals that she'd like to be closer to me, but I'm afraid I might just be misinterpereting them. I also am afriad if I make a move to further the relationship, it might be unwanted and cause trouble. Lately, I've had the strongest urge to lean over and just sneak in a quick kiss on the cheek, but like I said, I'm afraid of what the outcome would be. Any advice?By the way, I'm a very shy guy and just coming out and talking about my emotions was enough to give me a panic attack. I don't know how I'd even be able to kiss her if I decided to.

Least you can know in the end you put your cards on the table, made your move, and made a respectful gesture- whatever the outcome, youll never have to wonder. If she shows no interest, it may sting but the sooner the better before your feelings progress. However, shes already hinted shes interested and when she does show she is after you kiss her- youll be so relieved that you did make that kiss.
Either way, be prepared.
Good luck!
