Hello, I've been approaching women for the past couple weeks, and I feel it's time to experiment and try out a date. Now, I've never been on a true date before. But I do know that I should be in control and pick the place to eat at. I am not concerned with what happens after this potential date with the particular girl I have in mind. I have twice already recommended that we meet together sometime, and both times I received no phone calls or texts back. I've thought about nexting this girl already, but I think if I can at least get this one date and a little contact/kiss out of the way, it will ease my anxieties and open me up to more kino escalations on future dates. The particular woman is an attractive educated black woman that I go to class with. She laughs at a lot of the things I say, but there's definitely other women I'd rather be seeing. So, what should I do about this situation? Should I just get this meeting arranged without calling it a date and close with contact afterwards? And should I pay for this woman's meal on the date? I'm very confused about the latter question, because I do not want to submit or supplicate myself to a woman, especially one I'm a little apathetic towards now anyways. I still haven't gotten to the level of confidence and comfort during my approaches with women, though I've almost shattered the shyness boundary of approaching altogether now. Still, number/date closing makes me very nervous, more so than cold approaching. That is my situation, and I appreciate the advice.
