Back Story; Known this girl since Sophomore year of high school. Sheltered, nerdy girl with over protective parents. She’s a goddess at art and quirky as hell, and I really dig that, in her at least. Anyway, starting in Senior Year, we went on a date or two, including homecoming (She didn’t go to Prom, cause her and her nerd friends were going to the movie as anti-prom. I was invited, but I rather experience Prom.) Since we’ve graduated, both 21 now, we’ve probably gone out to a movie about once or twice every 6-8 months or so, up until this last year, anyhow. I haven’t even seen her since last Summer.
The thing is, I don’t know if she can tell if I’ve intended these as dates or not? The only time it was ever explicit was in high school. And every time we hang out its super straight forward and to the point. She won’t even go to a different movie theater. And if she can tell, I’m not sure where I stand with her? When we see each other in person, it’s impossible to get her to shut up (in a good way) but over texts and online she only ever gives the most basic responses, but after knowing her for so long that’s just how she is online. The last few times I’ve asked her to hang this year, she’s either ignored me outright or accepted and flaked; which I thought was my sign, but then a mutual friend informed me one of her parents had recently passed and that’s probably why she’d been acting so weird. She talks to me so infrequently now, I couldn’t have known otherwise.

I asked her out last week to hang out and see a movie this weekend and she took me up on it; so here’s hoping this ends up well and she doesn’t flake… But how do I continue on from here on out? I don’t just want to see movies with this girl, I want to date her. Whenever I go out with most girls, my intent is usually just to get some, but with her, that’s not even my major goal – I just want to like, listen to music and draw together. Have a good time with her. And I don’t know how to do that without being all awkward and, ‘Yo, I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but like, I really like you – And I hope you like me. So like, where do we go from here?’ Especially since a little bit of distance has grown between us
Movies aren't really dates (at a theater.) You can't really fuckin talk.
Take the girl to dinner or some activity
