Hi guys! I (19F) have been seeing this person (19F) for about a month now, and we haven’t even held hands/touched at all yet. How do I ask this person if they are actually interested in me romantically? Or, how do I initiate physical contact?

So I met this person on hinge a month ago, and as of today, we’ve been on four dates: a coffee date, sushi lunch date, movie date, and dinner date (in that order). Our dates were fairly awkward at first, but I honestly found it kind of endearing since we both seem to be the same kind of awkward.

We text fairly regularly (at least one conversation a day), and now, it’s pretty easy for us to hold a good conversation in person and over text.

Overall,I really like them. However, there’s a barrier between us that neither of us seem to be willing to break: the touch barrier. For example, during our movie date, both of us never touched, and when we went back to their place after the movie, they sat a good foot and a half away from me. The same thing happened today after our dinner date. We sat and talked for almost two hours until I needed to head home.

I in no way want to come across as entitled to physical touch from this person. Rather, I really need advice on figuring out either how to tell if they’re actually romantically interested in me or how to initiate something like holding hands or kissing.

I’m not very experienced in this sort of thing, and I know they aren’t either, so any and all advice would be welcome! Thank yall.
