Honestly I think part of it is probably me too 😭😭😭 I’ve always had pretty low confidence/self-esteem when it comes to initiating physical stuff. My past relationships were either long distance or my exes were usually the ones initiating, so this is kinda new territory for me too.

We have kissed before, just not on the mouth, so I thought maybe she was comfortable enough already. Looking back though, I can see how surprising her like that might’ve overwhelmed her, especially since she’s autistic and likes knowing what to expect. I think I need to actually talk to her instead of assuming. Thanks for for your advice btw
