M30 seeing F30 for a month and agreed on going official. Both shy and we haven’t really connected emotionally. During our recent dates shes super cuddly and wants to hold my hand. It was the other way around the first few dates and shes warmed up. She had a tough long term relationship so its been hard for her to trust my intentions(we both want long term and ive told her about my intentions on that).
Now we’re together and its been less than a week. It feels a bit weird. I am having issues being my self around her and being confident and she is sending mixed signals.
I like her a lot and she likes me a lot if not more. I want to make this work but not sure how to turn my mindset around. I want to connect with her emotionally because our convos don’t flow well and become awkward. This will also help us move further in the relationship.
Anyone been in this situation?
Tldr: dated a month, started relationship with each other, lack of emotional connection, my lack of confidence and not being myself on our dates, her sending mixed signals because shes not sure if this is what she wants, and wanting to connect better/want better flowing convos.
