i don't wanna fuck my chances up with "A"

nikole

hey guys, i'm 16 and i'm a junior in high school (just as a starting point)

i just got to my new school and i've found someone that i really like, for this story/question his name will be "A"

so me and A have been talking since the first day of school about 5-6 months ago and i liked him since the start of it and i asked him out about 2-3 months ago and he turned me down (he used the "i like you as a friend" card on me )

but he took me out to walk around to do halloween with him and he admitted to me that he didn't know why he said no to me because he actually liked me!!! of course in that moment my heart dropped to my ass and i didn't know what to say so i totally changed the subject

later that night i asked him if he actually said that or if i heard it wrong but he said that i definitely heard it right and he asked me out that night, i took 2 days to respond to him because i wanted to make sure i wanted to be with him (i said yes obviously)

BIG THING ABOUT ME- i used to be in a very abusive relationship (mental,emotional,& physical) and i do not have a lot of trust in people, i've never dated anyone except my abusive ex up until now

so me and him have been going strong for about a week ish and i have never done anything with anyone because except hold hands and A hasn't even dated anyone else but me

might i add that A is extremely EXTREMELY attractive to me and everytime i see him i just wanna jump on top of him and let him do what ever he wants (yes i'm a thirsty ass bitch, let me have my fantasy)

SOOOO my question is how long should i wait to kiss him or ask him about stuff or even try to do stuff with him? i don't want him to feel pressured to say yes because i asked him or if i do as i get totally shut down and it ruins the mood!!!

(yes i know about safe sex and consent, i'm on birth control and i always have a condom on me)
