I’m very new to dating as I was really shy when I was younger , I met her on a dating app and all our dates were amazing! We had so much in common and after every date she seemed excited about the next one! In the last date we kissed , which was my first kiss and after getting home I kinda asked if we were dating now but she got spooked and said that she needed at least a couple months to see how things played out but that would like us to remain exclusive , as the days passed her messages started to become dry and eventually today she left me on read , my cousin tells me I was too talkative over text and that I shouldn’t had made her my priority, which is what spooked her! It serves to say that during our first couple times talking I was not very talkative because of work but recently I was given a couple days off and even so I would not message her often , but he thinks I did

I really want to message her again and explain my situation when it comes to my nonexistent dating experience in case I made her feel uncomfortable, my cousin says I should just move on and forget her , what to do?

I’m now 24 years old and I have never had a girlfriend and have been on very few dates due to being shy when I was younger , I recently met this one girl and we had a few amazing dates , we have so much in common we got touchy fast , hugging , holding hands and kissing , our last date was this last Saturday we shared a long kiss and I don’t know if it helps to say she was my first kiss , i honestly believed this meant we were dating I kinda made it seem that way and she became a little spooked and said that we’d need a couple more months before we could actually date to see how things play out , but that she’d want us to see each other exclusively , as the days passed her messages were dry and would even ignore some of my messages and finally today she just left me on read all day without saying anything , I just truly don’t understand what happened my cousin says I made her my priority and would text her too much he told me girls don’t like this much attention and essentially I was feminine towards her? I must mention our dates were always amazing and she always seemed eager about the next one , I truly want to message her and ask what I did wrong or explain my situation when it comes to being new in the dating scene, I truly don’t wish to lose her but my cousin tells me I should just move on and meet new people but I can’t get her out of my mind what should I do ?
