I’ve been dating this girl for 4 months and generally we’ve gotten very close together e.g. texting everyday, knowing more about our lives etc altho we’ve only been able to hang out once a week mainly and not all of those times alone. We’ve made out or kissed at least once pretty much every time we’ve been together but i want to do more. We’re both on the autism spectrum but I can tell when it comes to things like social battery and awareness it’s more noticeable with her than me, sometimes she gets awkward around being affectionate whilst other times she really goes for it. She’s done things like put her hand on my chest and stroking it and she always strokes my face when we kiss. I feel like these are signals that when it comes to being more intimate she definitely wants it but I want to know what the right move is to show I want it too and how to continue afterwards. I’m the first guy she’s ever dated and before the only experience she’s really had is drunkenly kissing boys at parties so it’s safe to assume this is her first time, altho I’m not talking about instantly jumping to sex but more exploring each other physically and then maybe let that lead to sex. I’ve had sexual experiences before (mainly when I was 15/16) but those were mainly one night stands whereas this is the first time I’m actually taking something like seriously with someone I want to end up in a relationship with.
TLDR
She’s showing signs of wanting to be more intimate so I want to make sure I do it right.
