I just finished listening to Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I absolutely loved that book!

I saw War for the Planet of the Apes the other day. Great flick!

Thank you! I hope it works out as well! I really like this girl!

Thank you! I figured I'd give you an update. I had another date with her today and I told her basically what you suggested more or less. I said something along the lines of "I've really enjoyed going on dates with you and I really like you. Would you like to continue dating and see where this goes?" And she said that she would love to if I do. So, that's a pretty good sign! =)

All great points. Thank you. I think I will do something like this then, just so I can attempt know what's going on inside her head.

Oh, yeah. That is definitely a possibility.

Oh we were definitely not on the same page when that happened. That is what I'm trying to avoid this time.

Thank you for the advice. This is, I think, a very good place to start. I definitely don't want to jump the gun and chase her away, but I also don't want to be taking her on dates only to find out later on that she isn't interested in me romantically. I took a girl on a bunch dates once and we started holding hands and junk, and finally after like ten dates she just up and says that she isn't, and was never, interested in me romantically. I just want to know what page she's on so something similar doesn't happen this time.

Not yet. That is kind of what I'm trying to figure out a good way to bring up relatively casually just so I know what page she's on.

Haha! Loved the Monty Python reference! Yeah, what I really am trying to figure out is the point at which it goes from just going on dates to dating as a couple. I've had relationships in the past, but none have been from an online/Mutual app dating kind of origin until now. I've always known past girlfriends as a friend long before I even started dating them, which I feel made things flow a bit easier. In the case of Tinder/Mutual, chances are your first date is your first time meeting them. On the other hand, you've already matched with each other on a dating app, which means you both mutually found each other attractive. I just don't know.

Or at least asking what the other person wants from dating. I'm an RM and I've gone on several dates with a girl I met on Mutual(the app). I looked for advice elsewhere, but the non LDS world has answers that most often involve having sex before making a relationship official, which obviously I'm looking to have a relationship worthy of temple marriage, so I figured I'd ask here. Also, when you do bring it up, how have you done so in a way that doesn't send the other person running from awkwardness? Thanks!
