Perhaps this story needs some context. Physically, I am not impressive. In fact, all evidence points to the contrary; most women that have talked about my looks have said I'm "okay" or outright "ugly." Financially, while I'm not suffering, I am not doing well enough to attract a partner. Personality wise, I'm a little more on the quiet and reserved side and that only seems to work in Telenovelas. The only thing I would say I have going for me is that I have some moderately interesting hobbies i.e. I can play 4 musical instruments and I can cook really well. Also, the few women that have been brave enough to become my friends say I'm actually quite funny but I don't know about that one, tbh. I have not had a lot of romantic success. I tried to get a girlfriend in my teens and I got so many rejections that I decided to just call it quits and live my life. Actually one guy tagged me in a Facebook post on girlfriends day which stated, "Tag someone you know will never get the chance to commemorate this day." Such was the confidence people had in my ineptitude for attraction.

Last month though, one female friend of mine called to tell me one of her friends (the aforementioned 32 year old) had seen me at her house and was dying to speak to me. I got her number, called her one night and tried to put my best foot forward. She seemed impressed and asked to see me again physically so I arranged a meeting and it went, okay. She seemed a little quiet and reserved but she kept smiling at me and touching my arms when she laughed so at least she wasn't repulsed by me. The following morning, I get call from her and she is yelling at me. She is asking why I didn't wish her good morning or anything. I told her I didn't know how our date went and just wanted things to settle before I reach out again. She then tells me, she made it clear that she enjoys my company and if I don't like her, I should just say it. I apologized but have come to the realization that since I have no romantic experience, I wouldn't know what to do with my dream girl even if I magically found her sleeping in the same bed with me.

I finally have a woman interested in me and I'm blowing it like the Gunners. I need your help. What do I do now? Invite her for a movie? Ask her for sex? What do I do?
