I've been talking to a mutual friend and we both like eachother. I've been on a couple dates with him and they've both gone really well but he hasn't kissed me yet and doesn't make much physical contact.

I think it's because he's quite shy and too scared to initiate it. I was the one who had to ask him out on a date the first time because I knew he was too shy to do it. A few people have told me that he's quite inexperienced in the dating world but I feel that he is slowly coming out of his shell and becoming more comfortable around me.

Does this mean I have to be the one to initiate physical contact/our first kiss? I've tried giving subtle hints like "I'm cold" in the hope he'll invite me in for a cuddle but instead he turns up the heating 😂😂😂

Any advice would be appreciated xx
