MEN's Portal / How Women Attract Men / Man Is Playing Hard To Get /
I went out with a guy who I knew was attracted to me. We had a pretty good first date but at the end I tried to put my arm around his shoulder. The date ended very awkwardly. I thought I was lost.
I know I should take charge and be supportive, but I don't want him to be uncomfortable. How do I deal with this situation?
I am surprised that you tried to lay your hands on him already on the first date. Normally that would be I'll advised because it is way to early and it's just in the initial courting stage of a relationship not a full blown relationship.
Here is how you move beyond such a barrier. When there is a desire, mutual attraction, the boundaries are closer and there is a desire to lower them.
Some dates never even go beyond the first date because people are still trying to figure out whether they are compatible or not.
Even though to you putting your arm around him was a sign of your affections for him and that it probably wouldn't have gone beyond that, he might have misconstrued it as making your move for something more.
Bottom line: One of the largest relationship problem areas in these types of relationships is the lack of intimacy and closeness that a mature relationship brings.
To move boundaries you must venture a step forward. If he is willing, he will unconsciously see this, understand and respond in kind. For more tips about making a man allow you to step up and lay your hands on him, refer to e-books in the series “ Relationships: Puzzles and Answers ” :
