Getting physical - Ways to do this?

I've known this girl for about 1 month now and it's pretty clear she's into me but I've always been too scared to do anything physical other than hug her or something. So are there any 'natural' or 'easy' ways to do the following for the first time:

- Stroking her hair, How do you initiate this. I know it will turn her on alot, as I tucked her hair behind her ear once and she seemed like that

- Holding hands. There must be a sneaky way to do this which doesnt seem too weird.

- Kissing her for the first time.

Thanks in advance.

right after hugging, stroke the hair, tuck it behind her ear.

while walking....tickle her side and when she trys to stop you, which she will....playfully grab hold of her hand and swing it up and down to make it seem funny and fun. after a minute or so let it subside and continue walking with her hand. but don't just "hold" it the first time. do something fun and crazy with it. so that she feels she can reject you safely, and you don't feel like you;ve gone out on TOO much of a limb.

first kiss, preferably alone-ish. saying goodbye from hanging out. hanging out in a more romantic place than usual and let the mood do the talking.

Oh that's great advice! thanks! !

wow, on my first date with my last bf i did all that in the first 10mins

Curry is onto something there though i guess

it's how my boyfriend got me

it made me feel giddy and happy. the point wasn't creative. it was tried and true ways to get closer to someone you're crushing on.

no need to get all .

Assuming that you're on a date, and the evening is drawing to a close: first, say;

"I'd really like to kiss you."

Then, do it.

People say you should never ask..

Assuming you've succeeded in cultivating an appropriate mood through the evening's ministrations, and that the crucial event is yet to come about naturally though all signs indicate her being receptive; she'll appreciate your candour, and warm to your confidence. Bear in mind, after all, that such conventions are precisely the reason for your predicament; and that, if she isn't receptive to your more ambivalent overtures, you'll no doubt return here in a week's time to solicit further advice.

But then, I'm forthright, assertive and audacious; it's your choice.

Very true.

never ask.

ever. as a girl....i think that's the most awkward thing ever.

but that's just me.

girls like assertive guys. go for it.
