32M/25F. I have been friends with this girl for about a year and she has become single recently and we determined that we want to be more then friends (I pursued her immediately after the relationship ended). She said since we were already friends that she wants us to become closer while she gets over her last break up, then escalate into more things and start actually dating. She says she doesn’t want a “serious relationship immediately” but describes a serious relationship when telling me what she wants in a relationship. What I think she’s telling me is that she wants to take it slow before we get into a relationship because she takes relationships seriously and doesn’t want to get into anything that she’s not sure about, which I fully support, but what does that actually mean for me? Obviously anything physical is a ways off, but what else? Today we went out for our first activity where she is officially single and she knows my intentions and what she has asked for, and she did allow me to hold her leg while driving and some back touches.
